The Houston Astros are the youngest team in the National League if you judge by age.

My own little rule was two for one. If one of my teammates got knocked down, then I knocked down two on the other team.

When we played, World Series checks meant something. Now all they do is screw up your taxes.

Some of these guys wear beards to make them look intimidating, but they don't look so tough when they have to deliver the ball. Their abilities and their attitudes don't back up their beards.

If they knocked two of your guys down, I'd get four. You have to protect your hitters.

When the ball is over the middle of the plate, the batter is hitting it with the sweet part of the bat. When it's inside, he's hitting it with the part of the bat from the handle to the trademark. When it's outside, he's hitting it with the end of the bat. You've got to keep the ball away from the sweet part of the bat. To do that, the pitcher has to move the hitter off the plate.
