    This version of it has been.

    How about this version (and what I would absolutely do if I was Espada- no fucking around with Brown, France or Spaghetti again until you have to) of a staff- I can't imagine it will be bad: 

    JV Thursday

    Friday off

    Saturday- Blanco,

    Sunday Framber,

    Monday off

    Tuesday Javier.  

    Wednesday- JV

    Thur- Blanco

    Friday- Framber

    Saturday- France/Brown/Spaghetti/Bielak- whichever you think will suck least

    Sunday- Javier

     

    When’s Javier eligible to come off the IL?

    I agree that the pitching situation improves once we get Framber and Javier back. That means Arrighetti and either France/Brown come out of the rotation which would be huge.

    Absolutely agree on the lineup. What they do with Abreu and Singleton will tell us a lot about the intelligence level of the current organization. I’m extremely concerned that it’s going to reveal that Reggie Jackson and Jeff Bagwell are booger eating morons.

    Also, when will Josh Miller tell his pitchers to stop wasting a pitch by throwing 2 feet outside the plate? It seems like all of the Astros mediocre pitchers get 2 strikes on a hitter and then throw 1 completely non-competitive pitch which evens the count. It’s an epidemic among this staff.

    It's really hard to believe this team is just 2 years from their last World Series win. Still not out of it yet, but it ain't looking good either.  

    2 years ago, the Astros had the best pitching staff in baseball and now, it’s possibly the worst.

    Yeah, I've gotten bad vibes off of them for quite some time.  They were actually a client of a colleague of mine for just this type of shit.

    Guy built a helluva business in a short time.  Makes you wonder what's up.

    They take a lot of bullshit aggressive positions as a firm and try and wear down the tax authority with their BS. Within the tax community, their reputation is fairly poor and they have significantly biased tax authorities against most taxpayers trying to settle legitimate disagreements fairly.

    Its amazing how big a business one can build on sales/use/property taxes across this country.

    Never underestimate the level of stupidity in the world. It’s probably fraud, but it could be some a stupid person didn’t update something. 

    Chase Mortgage Broker called me back and it was absolutely stupid. Chase never updated the address for the prior owner and when they called to mortgage their current home, Chase just rolled with the address on file.

    Just completely stupid.

  5. I just received a pre-completed mortgage application from Chase Home Lending via UPS today. However, it’s in the name of one of the prior homeowners and I obliviously didn’t request it.

    I’ve owned this home for over a decade and assume someone is trying to commit fraud here.

    I looked up the Chase mortgage broker online and just left a voicemail that this is fraud.

    Anything else I should do?

    Is it just me, the simulation, or just the fact that trump hates the story so much that makes me wonder if Trump has fathered a child out of wedlock?

     

    Her name is Tiffany.

    is this true?  no more truth social dude on jury?  if so, that's the best news on this affair yet.

    I don’t think it’s true. The juror that was dismissed after the Fox News report was originally going to be Juror #2 before the full jury was seated. She asked to be withdrawn due to the personal information shared and the Truth Social user was seated with the full jury as Juror #2.

    Those people would be happy to stick a shiv in him if/when the right opportunity presents itself.

    I don't think anyone knows exactly how the next 6 months plays out.

    That’s not true. The Senate absolutely had the opportunity in the second impeachment trial to be done with Trump and they lacked the courage. Unfortunately Trump controls the R primary voters and they know it.

  9. Espada’a not the issue. The only change he could make is benching Abreu. He’s moved him down in the order. He’s played Singleton more. I would have played Caratini at first instead of Singleton. 

    It’s truly a crime that Singleton was still on this roster at the start of the season. Abreu provided fool’s gold with his performance after coming back from the IL. He was always going to be here in 2024. Sticking with Singleton as the primary backup was not a defensible decision. 
     

    The back of the bullpen has been absolutely terrible to this point. You have to assume Hader and Pressly will get better at some point this year. If that doesn’t happen, the season’s over anyway.

  10. Headed to DC tomorrow and will see the Friday and Sunday games. When I scheduled this trip, I did not think the Nationals would have a better record than the Astros.

    Hopefully they can turn this season around starting tomorrow.
