    My wife did her undergrad studies at South Dakota State and I’ve seen the Janke twins play a number of times over the past two seasons.    This is a solid FA signing and I like their chances of sticking as special teams/WR.

    So fucking random and great - Surly gonna Shaggy. Awesome, thanks for the personal insight.

    They also have Hollywood Brown now so that division better start loading up on DBs

    Hollywood and X lining up on either side of the field sounds like a Shootout

  3. Man. They really suck. Amazing how quickly we have gone from hoping for an eighth straight ALCS to wondering when the right time is for Dana Brown to earn his paycheck and restock the farm system and/or get something by trading Bregman and maybe even Tucker (and for Crane to allow him to). Hard fall from grace. Welcome to the big leagues, Joe.

  4. I’ve been tardy catching up on this thread. My boy’s 9U AAA team won their second straight tournament last weekend (we play every other weekend). So awesome to see how much each kid on the team has improved. We love our coach and the coaches he gets to help him (one of which is Jose Lima’s son), and it’s a great group of kids and families. I hope we keep this team together for a long time.

    Bro, what? 

    How long was this 7 loss thing?

    Last game I went to was Farmer's no hitter, so I need to get in there.

    Probably easier to do than you’d think, the way MMP has been lately…

    I don’t know what my streak is but it feels not great after going to all the ALCS home games and one loss this year…

    Alex Bregman ruined that inning.

    Trying to hit a fucking tape measure shot every time up. Only succeeds in hitting pop-ups. This approach ain’t gonna get you that 8 year deal, bro. 

  8. I heard on the radio that once the Texans restructured his deal, they forfeited their right to a compensatory pick if he walks in FA. I have no idea which one is right, that guy clearly believes they get the pick. 🤷‍♂️

    The entire McNair family prescribes to the prosperity gospel, not just Mrs. McNair. Texans fans have Hannah McNair (Cal’s wife) to thank for convincing him to dump Easterby. If she hadn’t, that Bible-thumping hack would still be running the org. 

    Yes, I know. I’ve known Hannah a long time. Our posts don’t contradict one another.

  10. Again, I continue to be surprised in how Caserio has handled this past 12 months like a maestro, and continue to be glad to eat my words that this would never be a successful franchise with the McNairs at the helm. 

    On that subject, I truly believe the main factor in letting go of the reins, firing Easterby and changing the culture has been Janice McNair losing her power over the organization. Whether due to health or realization that she had been hoodwinked by O’Brien and Easterby. She was the one that bought all the Bible thumping bullshit, and now she’s clearly out of the equation.
