While the Texans, Rockets and Dynamo continue rebuilds, Houston's baseball team is...
With the season's first half nearing its end, All-Stars Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve have helped put the Astros in shouting distance of the Yankees for the best record in baseball.Deshaun Watson, for all the wrong reasons, continues to make more news than the Texans.
Our big city has multiple pro sports teams. But the reality during the scorching summer of 2022 is that we have only one.Once frustrating but charming losers, a rebuilt and then reconstructed franchise has become annual winners. Annual contenders. Annual world champion threats and just a few days away from being in the fascinating middle of MLB’s annual All-Star Game in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium, even with Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez injured and Justin Verlander not expected to pitch.
Normally, that would be the Texans’ month. It was in 2012, when Houston's NFL team owned the city and finished 12-4.Heck, less than three years ago, James Harden poured in 59 points for Houston’s NBA team on Oct. 30, 2019, while Watson’s Texans were on the verge of starting 6-3 during a season in which they would finish 10-6 and win a thrilling home playoff game in overtime.
The Rockets have completely turned over their roster, coaching staff and front office. They are also REBUILDING. And even if Jalen Green drops 59 points during the fourth regular-season game of a new season, the Rockets are years away from serious Western Conference contention, and there’s no guarantee they’ll reach a final destination that Harden couldn’t touch when he was at his Rockets peak.
