Talking points — What readers are saying

Re: Astros
"Texas in 2010 has only one professional baseball team and they are located north of Houston ran by a man from south of Houston. Houston needs to ask itself why this man would go through Houston to get to the office when he could have worked in Houston if he had chosen." — didumissmypost

Re: Rockets
"As many would expect, the playoff picture is starting to take form. The Rockets are not in there." — EMAC
