  1. That’s a pipe dream. This team is going nowhere.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. Beautifully. 2 WS titles and 4 pennants directly attributable the greatness of the 🐐. The way Luhnow was scapegoated was despicable. He should have never been fired. Tell me, how’s Danaball going?
  6. LOL. The Texans during their absolute lowest point never resorted to that crap. That is a pussy move on the level of Rodney Terry horns down.
  7. Is it still too early to fret David? The plane is crashing in the mountain. God damn this team is pissing me off. You expect your GM to fucking be proactive and not just say “all Is well” in the face of substandard play. The Astros front office used to be led by one of the smartest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in person with a team of Ivy League grads backing him up. Now we have a mental midget in charge and have gutted the analytical brains of the operation in favor of traditional baseball guys who use their gut. That’s why the foundation of this dynasty is crumbling and the championship window is being closed shut.
  8. DWI-industrial complex is a disgusting, regressive web of shit that only serves to line the pockets of municipalities and the DWI defense bar. I have never been pinched and do not heavily drink; however, the truth is that any one of us could have been pulled over at some point in our lives, especially while in college. First timers with BAC up to 0.10 should not have to go through the criminal justice system. They should pay a fine and go on their merry way. Unless you’re a recidivist or hurt someone in an accident, it shouldn’t leave a black mark on your record you have to explain away while applying to grad school or during background checks for jobs. It’s even worse in Canada, they put the hammer on you and can do jail time for run of the mill DWI. Hell, the Canucks bar Americans from visiting for a fucking DWI! Ridiculous.
  9. He hired Luhnow. That’s the extent of the credit he has earned. Just like Jerry with Jimmy. We have seen how the latter has fared without the architect of greatness for 30 years now. I don’t trust Crane one damn bit.
  10. He was the beneficiary of Jeff Luhnow’s greatness. The goat 🐐 gets all the credit. Crane’s ownership trajectory is mirroring Jerry Jones. For our sake, I hope he sells the team, otherwise, will be in the wilderness for 30+ years. Crane has closed the championship window shut with his decisions. He can go fuck himself.
  11. Wake up, smell the coffee and open your eyes. This team is not the same one we fell in love with the past 7 years. It still has quality pieces but has been wrecked by the last 2 managers, current GM and ownership. This team will be lucky to win 85 games.
  12. This X 1000. The Astros are what the Texans used to be. Astros have a general manager that is reactive, content to run out substandard players in positions we knew were weak, failing to churn the roster or make any moves with a 1B who is hitting 2-33 to start the season, topped off with David Culley/Lovie Smith quality coaching. Espada and Dana are crashing this team’s present and future into the mountain with the course set by Bagwell and Jerry Jones Crane. Every major decision made after winning the title in 2022 has been an unmitigated disaster. This is how dynasties die.
  13. What a complete shit show of a performance by our manager. Offense absent for most of the game. Sucks.
  14. Singleton and Abreu ABs make me want to punch a wall. What the fuck Joe
  15. It’s time to pull Javier. Come on Espada
  16. Abreu is pathetic. Horrible ABs. He has fucking quit. My hate level for him is getting to Mashitty/Dusty levels.
  17. So this is the shit Schwab was bitching about?
  18. 3 goals in less than 18 minutes of play in the RM-Man City match. Crazy so far
  19. Glad his family got to see him get hammered in person for his one and, most likely, only start in the majors.
  20. No issues with MLB.tv on that score for me.
