I think this team has the most combined no-hitters all time.
And you’re not allowed to challenge when a position player is pitching
That would be bad karma.
I’m not sure I’m ready to blow this team up yet.
Suck it, arlington.
I can’t imagine how that feels for Santa. So cool.

In his short tenure Vazquez has caught two Astros combined no hitters. That’s quite a feat.

Let’s not forget a couple of defensive gems by JP3, Walker, and Jake running down a couple of deep balls in the gap.

How many combined no-hitters is that for Houston?
Tonight made number 5.

Not sure. That’s 18 total for the franchise, the most of any franchise since 1962.
If Imai had the confidence to throw his fastball for a strike every so often he might be a pretty decent piece of the rotation.
I was telling Sphinx the other day that I was disappointed not to see Santa but I’m going to say begrudgingly that it all seems to have worked out.
Who, pray tell, is Santa? Does he wear a red uniform?
