It's time for another Astros post . . .

Okay, so the Astros are definitely not making the play-offs this year, but I still find it fitting to blog on them from time to time.


This past Friday, Stephenie and I, were taken to the Astros game by our good friends Joe and Jill and we had a couple of added bonuses to our normal day at the ballpark. The first one occured in the 6th inning when a couple of Astros Promoters sat down next to us and begin passing out boxes of "Bubba Burgers" to our row. They told us that our row has won Bubba Burgers and that we would be on the big screen at the Juice Box when the inning ended. Well, the inning ended and sure enough their was my big goofy head next to my lovely wife and the rest of our row. There weren't actually any burgers in the box, but there was a free T-shirt and a voucher for 6 patties.



The second bonus came at the end of the game. The International Federation of Competitive Eating was hosting the first ever kolache eating contest. We saw the living legend, Joey Chestnut, win the contest by consuming 56 kolaches in 8 minutes. It was impressive. The announcer did a nice job hyping up the contest. Hey, you must be good if you can get people excited about kolache consumption.




Oh, back to the game. The Astros lost 4-3, but we had a great time nonetheless.
