  1. This made the transition directly from Urquidy to James particularly painful. It was like going from first class on Air France to Greyhound economy.
  2. Who can forget Biggio always baiting the pro-pediatric cancer brigade by wearing that Sunshine Kids pin?
  3. “Apex predator” Carlos Correa is hitting a cool .111 in the series.
  4. My recollection is that we framed that more like, “Thank god Kenny G is gone.” I don’t remember people celebrating the Osuna part.
  5. Most amazing part of this story is that this must be the only time any Astros fan anywhere has ever uttered the words “Thank God we got Osuna.”
  6. Not much to this story. Either our assistant GM is a dumbass for celebrating domestic violence, or he’s a dumbass for liking Osuna the closer.
  7. Same here. Always dreamed and hoped id see them win just 1. Thats why im so happy for the die hard fans of Astros. I know what this means to them, thier families. There are family members that i wish were here to celebrate and enjoy 2017 and tonight. I was eight when I got to go to Game 6 of the ‘86 NLCS, and I didn’t think anything would ever top Billy Hatcher’s homer in the 14th. Now it seems like these guys top it multiple times every year. What a team.
  8. Dude was right.
  9. I’m okay with this as long the weather sucks from now through the end of the playoffs.
  10. What an absolutely shittastic performance by Greinke. I understood the whole “wait all season, can’t judge the CFM move in July before the annual injury” argument, but we can judge it now. Gave up Chuck and four prospects for the right to pay Greinke ~$3M more per season. Yay. Still, Astros in 4.
  11. Game 1 strategy for whoever we play in the ALDS should be to lose by 20.
  12. I get it. I just think that the gravity of the situation deserved a little more than bureaucratic i-dotting and t-crossing. If my house is on fire, I don’t want my smoke alarm to quietly send an obscure notification to an app buried somewhere on my phone. I want it to wake up the whole block.
  13. It’s the reason I lost all respect for His Holiness Robert Mueller. He hid behind “purview” and “bailiwick” and “I’d refer you to the report” for six hours, fully aware our POTUS had opened himself (and the country) up to blackmail. All because he reportedly didn’t want to get dragged into partisan crossfire. This whistleblower has 100 times the patriotism and courage that Mueller has.
  14. Minor complaint, but the home teams were listed first. What is this, the Premier League? Glad to see more replays than I remembered last year. I still think the random crowd shot-to-replay ratio is too high, but it’s getting better.
  15. When people get in line at 5:15 and can’t see a 6:40 kickoff, there’s a problem. Whether that happened on the students’ side or the alumni’s, there would be complaining about it, and it would be justified. CDC gets plenty of praise, as he should. He needs to be able to handle valid criticism, too.
  16. This. I’m willing to pat the guy on the back for working to improve things after LSU, and he sure seems determined to get it right eventually so I’m sure he will. But I don’t think it’s outrageous for people to upset with what happened tonight.
  17. Thanks. Glad they moved that up a week.
  18. Has anyone been able to get Audio Sharing to work? It was one of the main features announced back in June, but no one’s been talking about it this week. I can get the “bring another device close to your phone” pop-up, but nothing happens after I do that. Clearly I’m becoming an old.
  19. Basically, what phd said.
  20. It’s like the way they started the season 13-2 and have put up a sterling 45-84 since.
  21. Sure, but I don't think that's analogous to the situation we're in now, with a fully developed storm. I'm thinking more about things like this NHC statement just before Harvey made landfall as a major hurricane, while anticipating a similar breakdown in steering currents: I remember seeing it drift northwest towards San Antonio, wondering if the city could withstand low-end Cat 1 wind speeds. But even local meteorologists never even mentioned it as a possibility.
