Never has the exploits of one player on the Houston Astros made us all stand up and notice, bringing to the forefront of our memory banks the immortal words of Jack Buck: “I can’t believe what I just saw!” Well okay, we can’t leave out the days of Mitch Melusky dressing up for the Houston nine, but let’s just leave sleeping profanity barking dogs lie, okay. Any way, Hunter Pence, the multi-talent baseball playing happy go lucky right fielder-slash-gripit’nripit-batsman is good for perhaps one, two, three hundred or so reactions from the faithful SnS crowd. He makes people very happy and very sad usually at different times in a game or series. Sometimes the cheers are aplenty for a sustained amount of time and then the boos are just as consistent for about the same amount of time, all in spurts and all just about what everyone now expects from our hero. But there is one occasion this year when the young man managed to reach new heights of making himself really stand out around here… boy howdy, did he!

The SnS selection for Astros Player of the Month (April)
As we round into the last week of the first month of the MLB season, it’s time for SpikesnStars to look back and select our “Player of the Month”. The SnS APOTM is selected not only for good to great play on and maybe off the field, but for many other factors, Spikes’nStar’s style.

Would it be the coveted Zipper award? How about giving someone an Arky? How about the getting a Craig? Something has to ring a bell soon enough for us to go out and have the trophy manufactured for us. Give it some thought and get back to us in the TalkZone on that one. Read the rest of this entry »
SnS is back
Sorry for the downtime this week… Ike and some issues with our host combined to take us down for a while. But we’re back.
SpikesnStars.com debuts on 1560 The Game Radio
In a hysterical… errr… historical moment for this fansite, SpikesnStars has been invited to partner with 1560 The Game as another addition to their ample stable of team fansites in and around the Greater Houston Area. We’re certainly not the first nor the last fansite that 1560 The Game provisions a radio segment to in order to take the pulse of the everyday fan of a local team (Rockets, Astros, Aggies, Horns, Dynamos, Comets… Comets?)… but we intend to be one of the best. If not in the minds of others, certainly in our own minds. Which of course is usually all that matters to us any way. That and good beer and donuts, but I digress.
By the way, I find it odd someone would think it is a good idea to ask you freaks what you think… but I digress again. Read the rest of this entry »
