so i know we discussed guys with 10 homers and how we could have 10 or 11.

but i think we're gonna get 7 guys with 20.  not sure how that stacks up to some of our great power teams of the past, but seems impressive.

Astros team totals:

1979 - 49 home runs (Dave Kingman alone had 48 with the Cubs.  Jose Cruz led the Astros with 9.  JR and Andujar were tied in 8th place for the Astros with 2 HRs.)

1981 - 45 home runs (Schmidt led the majors with 31.  Real dead ball era)

Those were the days that when there were back-to-back games each with a HR, by any Astro,  it would be listed in the papers.

But you were almost guaranteed at least one triple in every Astrodome game back then.

I think they practically had a ground rule triple if it was a bit too far to expect the outfielder to run.

Thinking ahead but I would like to see us take another 10 game win streak this season.  I will go out on a limb to say that we will win today.  We only need to sweep the O's and take the first game from the White Sox to hit 10 in a row for the 3rd time this season.
