Default Big debut today
Oilertige who is a member here and has been a partner in some of the Dee Tee stable horses is the sire of Marc Krauss who makes his major league debut this afternoon for the Houston Astros against the wretched Cubs at historic Wrigley field. Can't imagine how excited they both are.

I've been watching for this since I met Dave at Arlington Park. Good luck to them both and congrats!

I hope he plays Saturday. I'll be in the bleachers in left field.

I'll be gentle.

So tremendous... The Krausses were at Belmont and it was great to see them. As nice a time as they had on their NY trip, I doubt it will hold a candle to this experience. BOL Marc!

Before I was married, I was forced to agree to a dress code if I was to be in public with my now wife, whom I will be with Saturday. The white suit, while still around, was one of the things that absolutely didn't make the cut.

Best of luck! He will be an instant improvement over Trevor Crowe, who stinks, even for an Astro.

Congrats to him and to his son for making it to the big leagues.

I assume watching your son succeed has to be one of the biggest thrills of being a father.

Default Thanks!!!
Really appreciate the kind words....yesterday was just an unbelievable day!!! He did get a pinch hit chance late in game to make his MLB debut and it was the best strikeout ever! One can't predict what the future holds for him in this game, but he is in the books!! Again thanks to all....

Making it to "The Show" is an unreal accomplishment! That's great!

Will be searching for him on MLB2k14 video game with my son.

I now have a reason to follow the box scores.
