  1. Jerry Jones prefers to rewatch games on his 1978 Magnavox so you’ll take the 4 clashing shades of blue and like it.
  2. Perhaps continued jerking around is what has prolonged his hand injury.
  3. NFL uniforms peaked ~1970.
  4. Wasn’t a shaggy/surly’s wife carjacked at that Target a few years ago?
  5. They have already knocked it down to about one movie per year, and some franchises go 3+ years between movies. I assume they lose money on most of the high budget shows. They were rocking and rolling during Infinity Saga with 2-3 movies per year, because people bought in to a linked story, known characters and actors, and most of the movies were good. Marvel needs to focus on making better quality movies to get the rank and file Americans excited to go see it in the theatre, whether it's one or three movies a year. When you take huge time gaps in a franchise like Spiderman, Captain America, etc.; they risk fans in some demographics aging out and not keeping their desire to watch it in the next phase of their life (kids going to teens, teens going to young adults, young adults going to parents, etc.).
  6. John and Lance this morning said they way they negotiated Correa's money and which players they sent out, Astros are now $34k below tax threshold. I doubt they add anyone else.
  7. 3 years, $71m for Astros to pay
  8. Could've hooked him up with a bone marrow concentrate injection into the fracture months ago and he'd be playing already.
  9. Bregman looking over at that other dugout and seeing Correa's arm around Altuve.
  10. Club Astros making a comeback! Get the DJ ready!
  11. Yeah, I'm in the camp of not trusting Dylan Cease. Why is SD, in contention and allegedly exploring more SPs to trade for, looking to unload a "star" SP? We don't need another high paid player on our IL.
  12. He needs to end at catcher to do a reverse Biggio.
  13. Bats 0.248 which makes him 7th highest in our current lineup 🤷‍♂️ But no lefty bat.
  14. Will this impact his terrible YouTube podcast?
  15. They already got our Maldonado?!
  16. John Singleton and we have to stock their soda machine for 3 years.
  17. Correa (age 30) is batting 0.267 and 0.720 OPS in 93 games played. Loved playing in Houston. 3 years, $92M left + some avoidable vesting years. Arenado (age 34) is batting 0.235 and 0.662 OPS in 95 games played. Blocked trade to Houston. 2 years, $31M left on contract. Suarez (age 34) is batting 0.248 and 0.898 OPS in 105 games played. Hit by fastball in hand/wrist and status is unknown. UFA after this season. I'd say advantage Correa unless you can get one of the other two for significantly cheaper. But I'm still Team Sell since I'm doubtful Yordan comes back, that Pena hits as well as he had been whenever he comes back, or that any of our old pitchers can be counted on when/if they return.
  18. How about a compromise of shooting him in the nuts and simultaneously disarming him and removing him from the gene pool?
  19. After Covid and the first PE sell out (and inflation which has occurred across the donut market), prices crept up (>$1.25 per donut) and quality went down (smaller meat/more bread in ‘kolaches’, less filling and icing on donuts, jelly donuts seem smaller). They used to send out email coupons and birthday rewards, then they introduced an app where the rewards get sent. “Oh nice, maybe it adds convenience like other restaurants’ apps!?” Nope, their app blows. It’s like finding your specific Shipleys location is dealing with a subcontractor and they charge you a fee to use the app. “Free glazed donut for your birthday” (less a $2.50 convenience fee). And they still haven’t figured out how to make decent regular coffee. I’m certain this new PE owner will accelerate the enshitening. That being said, Shipleys glazed are still the gold standard. How the fuck do Southern Maid franchises stay in business? Their donuts are more stale and worse tasting than trucked in Dunkin Donuts, and their kolaches are $5 each.
  20. I'd trade Framber and tell him he can resign with us in the winter. Would a team give a real asset up for Hader? This group of rag tags may hang on for a division if Mariners and Rangers keep playing worse than us, or maybe luck into a wild card spot, but this team is unlikely to win a playoff series. 2024 team got mowed down by the Tigers and we still had Tucker, Bregman, and Yordan. Let's see how it works better with Trammell, Hummel, Short, Whitcomb, et al.
  21. It would be funny if his name was Dick Kurtz.
  22. Staying at Conrad this weekend and doing 80% of our eating/drinking at Resorts World. I come to Vegas every 4-6 months, and the price jump in food and alcohol since January seems like the biggest between visits since I started coming regularly. I need to take Sydney Carton’s advice and stop being poor, but $22 beers at the Sphere good lord. Conrad is nice though.
  23. Fenway allows you to bring in outside food and unopened water bottles. You can buy an Italian sausage and peppers on a roll from a street vendor and just stroll right in. The main food stand behind home plate behind section 20 or so gets wicked long lines. I think it’s often faster to find stairs and go down to the food kiosks in the subterranean level.
