  1. Rather have this guy pitching than Hader
  2. That record makes Jerry Jones blush. Would have preferred Crane to have sold the team like he was rumored to be doing instead of making these horrible deals.
  3. How about PH Abreu in the bottom of the 9th. Thanks
  4. Abreu and Hader signings killing this team
  5. These are just embarrassing ABs for Abreu. Even the Braves announcers said so. Sit his ass down.
  6. Nice baserunning and clutch hitting!
  7. Jets go retro and bring back their 80s/early90s logo. Traditional, clean uniforms. Well done.
  8. Rockets win the last game of the season against the Clips to end with a .500 record. Wish we made the play-in; however, no doubt this season was a big success. Ime is a top 5 coach in the league, Alpi is a genuine star, Jalen flashed greatness in March, Amen and Cam came along nicely. Still need to see more from Jabari. This team is in damn good shape to contend next season.
  9. Bullshit. There would be no Islamic terrorist proxies or hostilities between Iran and Israel if HIH Reza Pahlavi was on the Peacock Throne. Iranians don’t give a shit about Palestinians and are resentful that their hard earned money goes to that cause.
  10. Iran is under occupation by the Islamic government. They have to use foreign enforcers to oppress the people. They tried to ban people from going to parks to celebrate the end of the Iranian New Year. They hate everything that makes Iran special.
  11. This is the best opportunity to take out the Islamic regime occupying Iran. Hope this is the spark needed to topple a regime that hates its own people and culture.
  12. This interview with Reggie Jackson should scare the shit of everyone. Flat out, he says that he is on a committee with Bagwell, Biggio and Crane, implying they’re now the true decision makers, not our GM. Confirming our worst fears, Dana is just a yes man and the analytics department no longer drives the decision making process. Crane and the committee of has been players have gutted what made us great. Biggio, Bagwell and Reggie are old school baseball guys — they’re a relic of a bygone day. They’re the worst guys out there to rely on to build a team in 2024. @Wulaw Horn was the sole voice here crying out in the wilderness during the offseason after we won in the WS. The rest of us were still basking in the glow of the WS win and downplayed the decisions made that offseason that have proven to be a disaster. Bagwell hates analytics — his mindset has infected the entire organization, it’s the reason why the dynasty has crumbled and the championship window is now closed. Crane has become Jerry Jones. Welcome to baseball hell.
  13. This is accurate. We owe OKC our 2024 and 2026 1st round picks; however they’re lottery protected for the top 4 picks. If we get lucky and get a top 4 pick we keep it for this draft and have to give up our 2025 pick to OKC. We get the Nets 2025 & 2027 1st round picks which aren’t lottery protected
  14. Dana without question. Good article from Chandler Rome about the poor decisions and incompetence shown by Dana Brown and his chosen manager. Fourteen games into the season, his starting pitchers have posted a 5.05 ERA across 66 innings. Houston’s rotation finished the second half of last season with a 4.74 mark. The team exhausted its last piece of promising depth by promoting Arrighetti on Wednesday for a start some wondered if he was even ready to make. Brown spent six weeks of spring training in West Palm Beach praising depth that did not exist. He supposed that Luis Garcia and Lance McCullers Jr. would solve shortcomings when they returned after the All-Star break while putting faith in unproven internal bullpen options.
  15. This is horrific. This teacher and her son deserve to be thrown into the 7th circle of hell.
  16. Bandwagon? I have been a fan of this team for 40 years. Those of us criticizing the team are lifelong fans that have stuck by this team through years of shitty to mediocre baseball. That’s why it hurts so damn much that we’re not getting as many WS trophies as we can during this golden era. I am confident that I’ll never see an Astros team as good as 2019 ever again in my lifetime and you can’t convince me otherwise that we should have won the WS series last year if we had a competent manager.
  17. That’s a pipe dream. This team is going nowhere.
  18. I fucking hate this team this year. We have lost our edge. That’s what you get by replacing clutch badasses with guys who have no heart like Abreu and Singleton. What an embarrassment. Clean house top to bottom. Singleton starting and getting ABs as a pinch hitter is all the proof you need that our GM and manager are idiots and have no clue what they’re doing.
  19. Check out my posts on the football, Rockets and Texans threads for each team’s past season. I have been optimistic about each and am happy about the progress they all made. Like everyone here, I hated how the Astros finished last season. I’m pissed at how we’re blowing opportunities to win another WS with Dusty’s moronic decisions last year and with the idiots in charge this season. Once this window closes for good, it’ll be another decade at best until we are good enough again to contend for a title (if we’re lucky to have a guy who knows what he is going unlike Dana).
  20. I thought you’d be on the plane crashing in the mountain team like myself, @Mitch Hedberg and @cabowabo considering the foundation is crumbling with the piss poor performances by Espada and Dana and gutting of the analytics department.
