Roy Oswalt throws the first pitch of the Astros 2005 season last Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park.

I'm greeting the new season with excitement and apprehension. Public opinion says that the Astros had a horrible off-season, letting Jeff Kent go to the Dodgers and then letting Carlos Beltran string them along before he bolted for the Mets. But I have faith. Roger Clemens is back, Andy Pettitte is healthy, Lance Berkman will be coming back in a month, and the 'Stros have a slew of promising rookies. They have all summer to make some more magic.
