    Houston Texans 19 - Denver Broncos 16 -- Thoughts and Analysis
    2008-08-11 09:45:46
       @     Denver Broncos 16      @       Houston Texans 19 August 9th, 2008 - 6:00pm MSTReliant Stadium - Houston, TX Game 1 of the pre-season is behind us and while the end result was a loss there were some encouraging signs.  There were also some things that concern me a bit.  Yes, it was only the first pre-season game.  Yes, in reality, they don't mean anything.  That doesn't mean, however, that we can't look at the game and find some positives and negatives to carry forward.  There are also some distrubing trends that continue to manifest themselves on this team that need to get worked out over the next 3 weeks.  Using the games stats as a baseline, lets breakdown the game - QUARTERBACK PLAY First off, Jay Cutler is back and better than ever.  After the expected early jitters by the offense as a whole on their first drive, the Broncos first string offense dissected the Texans defense o...

    Houston Texans 19 - Denver Broncos 16 -- Post Game Notes
    2008-08-10 08:24:04
       @     Denver Broncos 16      @       Houston Texans 19 August 9th, 2008 - 6:00pm MSTReliant Stadium - Houston, TX General Notes * - With their 19-16 loss in Houston tonight, the Denver Broncos' all-time preseason record against the Texans stands at 4-1. The defeat was only the Broncos' third in a preseason opener under Head Coach Mike Shanahan (1995-Pres.), whose record in those games with Denver is 11-3 (.786). * - Broncos T Ryan Clady, a 2008 first-round pick from Boise State University, became the first rookie in franchise history to start a preseason opener at either tackle position. Clady started the game at left tackle. * - Broncos WR Eddie Royal, a 2008 second-round pick from Virginia Tech University, became the first rookie in franchise history to start a preseason opener at the wide receiver position. Royal made his NFL debut a play earlier, taking the game's opening kickoff back 21 yards. * - Broncos LB Boss Ba...

    Houston, Does NASA Have a Problem?
    2008-08-10 00:13:20
    SATURDAY, AUGUST 9I've been hearing rumblings about NASA's Ares I.  American Space has been following the problems with NASA and our return to the moon. There are some serious problems with the Ares I. From the Wright Stuff at the Orlando Sentinel, comes word that the astronaut office isn't all that happy about it.  I was beginning to wonder about this after the latest tests.  Having followed NASA and the space program for most of my life, and having been (once upon a time) one of those dirty lobbyists, I know when you read this sort of thing, that, ......

    Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans - What To Watch For
    2008-08-09 13:28:59
          @         Denver Broncos      @       Houston Texans August 9th, 2008 - 6:00pm MSTReliant Stadium - Houston, TX At last the time for talk is over and the time to play is upon us.  Regardless of what you personally think the Quest is all about it starts for you and the Broncos tonight with their first pre-season game against the Houston Texans.  Sure, the first game is usually a time to get your starters in and out without getting anyone hurt, and it is no different for the Broncos, but there are a lot of battle up and down the roster that games like these will help determine.  There aren't many guaranteed roster spots out there once you get past the top 12-15 players.  That means there are 65 guys battling for 38 spots.  Good times to be sure. As a new practice, I reached out to the main contributors here at MileHighReport to see what they would be watching for tonight.&nbs...

    Z Problems Continue in Houston
    2008-07-20 00:45:53
    Game Ninety-Seven - Cubs 1 Astros 4 WP - Wandy Rodriguez (5-3) LP - Carlos Zambrano (10-4) Save - Jose Valverde (25) Lou Piniella's crew has started the second half of the season the same way they began the year....with back-to-back losses to a division rival. The Cubs dropped the first two games of the year to the Brewers with a less than stellar performance from their offense and have duplicated the performance the last two days in Houston. The Cubs managed only 1 run for the second night in a row, but this time the solo home run came from their pitcher, Carlos Zambrano. Zambrano hit his second home run of the year into the stands just beyond the right field wall in the 7th inning that broke up the shutout. Carlos Zambrano set a new franchise mark for home runs by a pitcher in the loss. Big Z's 14th career home run surpassed the previous mark of 13 held by Hall of Famer Ferguson Jenkins. On the mound was a different story for Zambrano. He struggled with his command and gave up as...

    Better Know a Rival: The 2008 Houston Texans
    2008-07-18 05:00:08
    [Note by River City Rage, 07/18/08 12:28 PM EDT ] Edited to reflect that the Jaguars did not sweep the Texans last year, I had forgotten that the week 17 game when the Jaguars rested all their starters that the Texans pulled out the win. DeMeco Ryans: If he's smiling, the Jaguars are hurting The Houston Texans: Things we already knew. There is no surprise to the Houston Texans if you're a Jaguars fan.  We know that they're building a defensive core that will rival the best in the league.  We know that the best wide receiver in the AFC South is not in Indianapolis, it's in Houston.  Of the 31 teams in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars were the first hubris-ridden giant to fall to the Texans tenacity.  When we sit down and look at the calendar, it's the Texans that serve as a benchmark for the Jaguars season, not the Colts.  Sure, winning the division means running rampant over Peyton Manning and company, but to win the division means beating the teams you're su...

    An Ugly And Avoidable Astros' Comeback Foils The Red Sox...Houston 11 Boston 10
    2008-06-29 04:36:00
    It's Sunday morning, a "morning after" time for Red Sox Nation and Red Sox International. I know you can't win 'em all, but with leads of 4-0 and 9-6, the Boston Red Sox managed to lose Saturday night's game in Houston by a score of 11-10. I have to be honest with you...I did not see a minute of the game, so I am ill equipped to write about it. That doesn't happen often, as you know. But sometimes, the less said, the better. So I'll do exactly that. You can consider it a bad night for Jon Lester, who has been tremendous this year, and Manny Delcarmen, who allowed the winning runs to score late in the game. We pin our hopes on Josh Beckett today to end the National League set of games on a winning note. Josh is overdue for a victory, mainly because the Sox are not putting up many crooked numbers on the scoreboard to back his efforts. This team needs a "W." TODAY.Have a great Sunday, enjoy the afternoon baseball (2:05pm EDT) and then get ready for the rough and ready Tampa Bay Rays, begi...

    I really like Rodeo Shows. My Aunt lives in Texas and she likes to go to them. I told her i would really love to go one day.She was telling me about a Rodeo that goes on in Houston at their Reliant Stadium every March, and gets around 1 million spectators a year!The show is sanctioned by the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association) and also the women's professional rodeo association.Its good to see that women are involved too, and its not just a 'mans sport' you might say.Not anyone can just take part either, as it is a professional sport. So the people that do all have to be members of the Pro-Rodeo or the WPRA.The stadium has some great seats there like the coveted Action seats, which are along both sides of the ring, and include complimentary food and beverages. Wow! I so need to get hold of some of those RodeoHouston ticketsThe great thing about the event is, when the Rodeo has finished the show hasn't really ended, as there is a concert that's held after, featuring big names ...

    Houston, ¿qué gadget compro?

    Nos invaden. Es una plaga. No paran de crecer, cada vez son más. Son los gadgets (la traducción "artilugio" no la soporto), y están en constante evolución. Que no te extrañe si hoy te compras un super smartphone, y la semana que viene sacan uno 12.7 gramos más ligero, que integra un receptor GPS de mejor calidad y además te ofrece conectividad HDSPA. No te cabrees, el mercado está así, nos hemos vuelto tod@s locos, somos consumidores compulsivos que no podemos estar sin tener lo último de lo último. ¡Esto es un caos!Tiene sus pros y sus contras. Se supone que para el usuario es bueno que haya gran variedad ya que significa al mismo tiempo que los precios son más competitivos. En eso estoy de acuerdo, los precios en algunos dispositivos que antes eran considerados de alto standing, ahora los puede comprar "cualquier persona" que tenga unos ahorrillos y esté dispuesto a gastárselos en caprichos tecnológicos.

    Game Forty-Seven - Cubs 3 Astros 5 WP - Shawn Chacon (1-0) LP - Sean Gallagher (1-1) Save - Jose Valverde (14) Lou Piniella's crew completed their 13-game stretch with two disappointing losses to the Astros after an impressive win on Monday. For the second night in a row the Cubs jumped out to an early lead just to see it disappear after one bad inning. Derrek Lee hit his 11th home run in the 1st inning following a walk by Kosuke Fukudome. Micah Hoffpauir reached on a 2-out double, his first career big league hit, and scored on a double by Geovany Soto. The Cubs had a 3-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning. Sean Gallagher followed Ryan Dempster's lead and pitched from behind early in the game. Gallagher pitched his way out of trouble in the bottom of the 1st with help from a tremendous catch in foul ground by Ryan Theriot. Gallagher kept the Astros' off the board the first time through the lineup, but Miguel Tejada and Carlos Lee gave the Astros the lead for good in the 3rd inning. ...

    2008-05-20 17:56:01
    Maddog's parents are gone, they've got guns and booze, and I'm not wearing pants In honor of something of which I am still unclear, the folks of LOHO, Wrigleyville23, and Cubs F/X (a site that goes well beyond my capabilities) are all heading over to Another Cubs Blog to chat with Maddog and the gang for the game tonight. As for this game, I can tell you that I saw Ryan Dempster pitch on Thursday, and whatever the hell he was doing (outside of pitching to the Padres), he should keep doing it.  A lot. No question the decision to put him in the starting rotation was a gamble, but, unlike every goddamned bet I ever make, this one seems to be paying off. Dempster's 5-1 with team-leading 2.35 ERA (you can look up his WHIP on your own), and his 48 strikeouts are second behind T.R. Lilly.   His secret weapon? Chris Sampson (2-3, 6.46) takes the mound for Houston.  Considering the seven runs in six innings that he gave up against San Francisco in his last start, that may not...

    Only 23 percent of residents think "more land-use planning would be bad for Houston because it will slow economic growth and increase the cost of housing." On the other hand, 61 percent say "More land-use planning would be good for Houston because it will improve the region's quality of life and long-term prosperity." That is, even considering possible negative outcomes, most of us consider planning beneficial.But the question that has stirred debate was "Are you in favor or opposed to zoning in Houston — that is, citywide control over the uses of the land in different areas?" Fifty-four percent favored this idea, 29 percent did not. Almost twice as many favor zoning as oppose it. ...

    2008-05-08 17:10:56
    Posiblemente a todo el mundo les suene, esta canción “I Say A Little Prayer“.. en primer lugar, porque la cantaba y canta mi adorable “Aretha“, en sus tiempos de casi comienzos. Y que aparece en esta Memoria, desde hace un tiempo. En este caso, son dos visitas de lujo, una “Whitney Houston” que no es la primera vez, ya ha estado y está como parte de la B.S.O. de “El Guardaespaldas“.. y en el caso de “Natalie Cole“, es su primera visita e imagino, solo imagino que no será la última. Tranquilidad, os sonará el apellido de ésta última, y es cierto, suena o más bien sonaba, es la hija de Nat King Cole (otro visitante de esta Memoria), una gran voz y una inmensa humanidad, de la que hace gala casi por “herencia genética” de su padre… También a algunos os sonará, porque tiene como nexo de unión, otra Banda Sonora de otra película “La Boda de Mi Mejor Amigo“, pero ni “Whitney“...

    Shell Houston Open - Round 3 Wrap
    2008-04-06 06:21:46
    Johnson Wagner, aiming for his first PGA Tour victory, shot a three-under-par 69 to take a one-stroke lead over fellow American Chad Campbell after the Houston Open third round on Saturday. Wagner, ranked 313th in the world, finished with a 15-under total of 201 as he chased the first prize of $1 million and a win that would earn a spot at next week's U.S. Masters at Augusta. Campbell, wielding a hot putter, was tied for the lead before a bogey at the par-four 17th prevented him registering a second successive 64. His 65 put him on 202 at the Redstone Golf Club. Campbell birdied three of the first four holes and rolled in a 60-footer for birdie at the sixth. The 2003 Tour Championship winner added an eagle at the par-five eighth hole when he spun an 88-yard wedge shot back into the hole. Americans Bob Estes, who fired a bogey-free 64, and Charley Hoffman (69) were tied for third on 204. None of the top four have yet qualified for the Masters, the year...

    Gameday Thread-- Houston Astros @ Chicago Cubs 1:20 P.M. CT-- Rich Hill Zaniness Watch
    2008-04-04 10:57:05
    After losing the first two games of the season, the Cubs proved that they don't completely suck and avoided being swept at home by their biggest competition for the division, the Milwaukee Brewers.  Bravo.  Today they meet another divisional foe at home, the Houston Astros. Taking the mound today for the first time this year is Rich Hill.  Rich throws a pretty amazing curveball, but lately he's been feeling a little down.  He had an ERA of 6.11, and walked 15 batters in 18 innings of work during spring training. What Rich needs right now is confidence.  He found it last year after finding a good book.  This year he can find it after he finds...a friend. Will you be my friend? Whenever you see Rich Hill today, smile at him.  No matter what.  I'm talking Care Bears meets Cheshire Cat grinning.  Then maybe he'll come over to your locker and you can somehow bring up the Under the Sea Ball Dance. Rich is a Pisces, and his horoscope is: "Your gr...

    Shell Houston Open - Preview
    2008-04-02 20:05:27
    The last PGA Tour stop before the Masters will have an Augusta-like feel to it this week at the Shell Houston Open.First off is the quality of the field: Houston boasts four of the top 10 players in the world rankings, and six of the top 12: Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Adam Scott, K.J. Choi, Geoff Ogilvy and Padraig Harrington.World No. 1 Tiger Woods is not playing this week, as he rarely does in the few weeks before a major, and No. 3 Ernie Els pulled out due to a virus.In addition, the folks at Redstone Golf Club are tailoring their course as best they can to look and feel like Augusta next week. The greens are prepared to run at very fast speeds and there are areas around the greens where there is little rough in an attempt to recreate Augusta-like conditions.This week’s winner qualifies is the final qualifier for the Masters - if he hasn’t already done so.However, since 1934, only five players have won the week before they earned a green jacket.Mickelson, in ...
