  1. Grab a drink at a Midtown bar and take the trian for $1.25. Free parking
  2. United has non-stop flights to Tokyo for $35k points each way. Economy seats, but not a bad deal and you can upgrade with cash.
  3. There was a half chapter dedicated to the Osuna fiasco as well. Luhnow was the only person int the organization that wanted the Osuna trade. He made that trade himself disregarding what others voted (again Crane had no clue). That was the moment Mike Fast decided to leave the Astros. He was planning on leaving anyway, but that was the last straw. It was also an internal HR disaster.
  4. Hence the title "Winning Fixes Everything"
  5. Crane just gave free rein to Luhnow and was clueless what was going on. Everything started to collapse during the 2018 season. You can see Crane is more hands on now. One of the final chapters is about changing the way, but Jim Crane is no saint either.
  6. Winning Fixes Everything is actually a pretty good book. It's not just about the Astros cheating; he also gets into the Yankee, RedSox, and Dodgers cheating as well. It's been known around the league that the Astros had a toxic front office, screwed over players with bad contracts, and Luhnow being an unlikable guy. I doubt Springer was very interested in resigning with the Astros after the way Luhnow treated him. It's also a good book on how to not run a business if you want to keep people around and have a good reputation.
  7. I'm sure your tweet was justified, but I would like to know why you think blocking you was unconstitutional and above the law. Or did I miss the sarcasm
  8. And Presley doesn't? The king of leadoff walks and hits. I haven't looked up the stats but it seems like he always walked a batter and gave up a hit or two (excluding 2022 playoffs). Defense saved him game 5 World Series. Different mentality when you are a closer. I think he would throw stikes.
  9. McCullers needs to go to the bullpen in the closer role
  10. Just typical relationship bickering, and she wasn't someone that would let the small things go without reminding you about it over and over - all day. This was our first trip together that was longer than an extended weekend. I didn't realize it at the time, but everyone should go on at least a week long trip alone with your partner before deciding to get in a long term relationship. You learn a lot about each other.
  11. I spent a couple weeks in Bora Bora, Moorea, and Tahiti on my my honeymoon years back. Most beautiful place I have ever visited. The wife and I argued the entire trip and divorced 3 years later. That's all I have to add.

    Just go to Laredo Taqueria on Washington Ave and then Truth BBQ - they are close by each other. Hit up a couple of Heights bars on the way home. The suggestions from Doobie also works for BBQ.
  14. Boo this man
  15. I like to hang out with the common folk at a random airport bar and creep and the ladies
  16. Portland, ME? I didn't experience that at all.
  17. That's for a grand grand jury to decide if charges should be brought.
  18. There is a longer video out. Turned out the robber had a fake gun. The shooter pulled out all the stolen money from the dead guy and put it on a table. Others got their money and casually walked out. Very strange.
  19. https://preview.houstonchronicle.com/music/rodeo-go-tejano-day-17699330?utm_campaign=centerpiece Why Tejano music may never return to Go Tejano Day at RodeoHouston
  20. 95 wins and win the the AL West by 3 games.
  21. I like Pudgy’s. They are pricey though.
  22. Somewhat similar situation happened to my girlfriend. Immigration attorney for a firm and someone gave her a bad review that was more of a front office issue - nothing to do with the case. She opened her own firm and that negative Google review is now under her name. Can't undo it.

  24. Where do you see this and what departing airport? I find 75k for economy one way. Do I need to sign up for something?
