GLOAD is GOD Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Has anyone noticed that the entire Houston Astros team is comprised of bearded white men, that range from anywhere between 5'10 and 6'3. When one bearded white man doesn't step it up, he's easily replaced by some other caucasian with a beard. Ex (Bagwell, Lidge, Qualls, Wheeler, Lamb, Ensberg, Ausmus, Lane, Everett....the list goes on) Interestingly enough, the only two non bearded white men i can remember are Willy Taveras and Jose Vizcaino, both of whom have hurt us, especially Taveras. Let's just make sure we're dealing with bearded white men the rest of the way, and we've got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggio also isn't bearded because he can't grow facial hair (steroids?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy! Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 When they were doing the Game 1 introductions of the Astros, I was thinking that I had really poor facial recognition skills. Practically every member of the team that trotted out onto the field looked the same to me - like clones or twins. Even their beards looked identical.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Funny. I hat to say this, but I have hard time hating the Astros. They play with a lot of fight, very similar to the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play with a lot of fight, very similar to the Sox. I respect the Astros very much. They're the only team I feel slight remorse about beating in the play-offs. They have a lot of heart and they have been about as star-crossed as the Sox. That said, I hope the Sox beat the hell out of them in Houston.

RibbieRubarb Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) Just started reliving the game on my DVR and this struck me Tim McCarver said this about the bearded Astros: "They look like a bunch of Shakespearian Actors..." WHAT THE f*** DOES THAT MEAN?!? :banghead I'm an actor...I've done Shakespeare WHAT THE f*** DOES THAT MEAN?!? :banghead You can always count on Timmy Edited October 24, 2005 by RibbieRubarb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 They seem to be doing the hockey playoff beard thing. The Sox are just doing the "different hero every game" thing. I like our thing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 It is hard to dislike the Astros. They are my second favorite team, but it is very easy to root against them, very easy. Zero conflicting feelings, and damn happy about that. A defining moment was when they dumped Lugo for getting arrested for domestic violence. They didn't even wait to see if he could get out of it. He was starting for them and on the field it was going to hurt them. They have a bunch of guys who are getting a lot out of their baseball talents, and are damn likable as well.

SpringfieldFan Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I went to the game and was going to make a banner saying something about Houston's "Killer Beards" but thought it would be in bad taste (especially since a family of Astro fans was sitting behind me).
