Early returns strong for Astros

It's early still.

That's the statement we must remind ourselves of whenever we start to talk about Major League Baseball right now.

So when you look at Houston's Miguel Tejada, one of the Astros' priciest acquistions of a busy offseason, it's tough right now to be anything but giddy.

Tejada hit the game-winning home run Monday night then added a two-run double Tuesday night in a losing effort.

It's early still, but after his first two games as a Minute Maid Park home player, it look as though Miggy never left that perfect summer night in 2004 when he won the All-Star Home Run Derby crown.
