I did a thing. Not sure how much I’ll use the new place, but figured I’d cover all my bases. Same handle as here.

- Astros are headed back to the World Series! Here’s how it looked from the radio booth.
00:00 - Easily the most unhinged I’ve ever been on-air. The most improbable victory the Astros have had in my time with them. I still can’t believe it.Here’s how the Yordan Alvarez WALKOFF sounded on SportsTalk790, as called by @raford3 & @SteveSparks37!! #Levelup #Legendary
00:00 - I will read every Zack Greinke oral history. One of the most fascinating people I’ve ever been around. theathletic.com/3619646/2022/0…
- My dad, Robert Ford Jr., passed away last night. He was 70 years old. This was the last picture we took together, when I was in NYC in June. It’s also the last time I saw Dad when he looked & sounded like himself.
- Andy Marte's last MLB game was 8/6/14 w/ Arizona, against KC. Royals starting pitcher that day? Yordano Ventura. Both gone too soon. RIP.
- Today is the 2nd anniversary of the greatest game I’ve ever seen in person, Game 5 of the 2017 World Series.Relive one of the most epic games in World Series history. #EarnHistory
- Dante Pettis, son of Astros coach Gary Pettis, just scored a touchdown for the NY Giants & did the Carlos Correa “it’s my time” gesture.
GIF - I appreciate each & every one of you who listen to Astros radio during the year; I couldn’t do my job without your support. It’s a privilege to call Houston Astros baseball, a privilege I never take lightly, or for granted. Looking forward to talking to you again in 2025!
01:58Benches clear in Anaheim after Hunter Brown hits Zach Neto- Yuli Gurriel out here winning batting titles & Gold Gloves in the year he turns 37. Living his best life!
- Alex Bregman was hit in the back by a breaking ball thrown by Ramon Santos, who was in A ball last year. Any insinuation that Bregman was hit intentionally here is ridiculous.Bregman plunked in the back...it continues x.com/AsteriskTour/s…
