Background - Houston Astros
The Astros were not really a force to even be noticed until the 1980s and the signing of Nolan Ryan and Joe Morgan. Ryan and Morgan offered veteran leadership and the team captured its first National League West title. The Astros went to the NLCS against the Philadelphia Phillies and played in a highly competitive series. Four of the five games went into extra innings, including the final game. The Astros lost in the 10th 8 to 7.
The Astros' fortune would change after the early ‘80s and the team would fall into mediocrity apart from the 1986 season, when the club won the Western title again. The rest of the ‘80s and the early ‘90s the team would find the Astros in a constant state of rebuilding.
The Astros club would eventually pull out of the continuous slumps with the maturation of Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. The two would be the cornerstone of the ballclub for over a decade. The Astros picked up four National League Central division titles in five years from 1997 to 2001. The club was unable to turn any of those opportunities into a pennant, but a wild card birth in 2005 would end with the Astros in the World Series.
The Astros would meet a surging Chicago White Sox club with a historic curse to shake. The White Sox would sweep the Astros, but the games would be close. The Sox won by a combined total of six runs.

2008 Season Preview
|
 The Houston Astros hope to erase 2007 from fans memories with a return to 2005 and 2006. The Astros look closer to rebuilding than competing, though, barring a career year by the entire pitching staff.
The staff has a very good ace in Roy Oswalt, but has little to back him up. Brandon Backe will be given a chance to develop this season after five good starts last season. The rest of the staff, Wandy Rodriguez and Woody Williams, appears to just be place holders for pitchers of the future. Jose Valverde is an excellent closer who managed to collect 47 saves despite the team's losing record in 2007.
Lance Berkman is the most recognizable star on offense, but Carlos Lee had an excellent season last year, responding to a contract extension signed before the 2007 season. Hunter Pence is an interesting prospect with a lot of talent who had a terrific 2007.
Minute Maid Park will still be a good time, as the Astors try and find the next Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell to keep the team in competition for the another decade. Check out the schedule and go to www.OnlineSeats.com for the best Houston Astros tickets at the most affordable prices.
