Astros Insight: I told you so.

This is something that I wrote on a previous post regarding the Astros' Spring struggle:

"Amongst the Astros hitters, they ALL seem to be in a funk at the same time. Theoretically, that's good since then all should come out of their slumps at the same time, preferably by opening night."

Well, if you had already gave up on the Astros as early as last week, you might want to look again. They are now winners of six straight game (and we passed the Padres in the standings) and they are looking like a team that can get something done. The hits are finding holes, the pitchers are holding down the opponents, and all of the sudden everything is good in Astros town.

Now, let me remind you once again that this is Spring Training still and players are still getting their mechanic down, but surely the mood in the clubhouse took a sharp turn for the better and the remaining players in camp can ride this momentum and the positive attitude into the regular season.

This is still no indication that the Astros all of the sudden are not going to lose any more games, or that we are World Series bound, but is a positive step into the right direction, and as fan that is what I want to see. You don't want to hear excuses but you want to see results. This Spring has definitely tested Cecil Cooper patience and he responded by filling out the lineup card everyday and tinkering with the club until he got the results that he was looking for. Six wins in a row. Only 10 days until the season starts. Go Astros!
