  1. Redundant and just be glad it isn't Ben and Karl Ravech or you would have to come up with identifiers for fucking idiot.
  2. At the rate Yordan's bones are mending the best move might be to let Altuve DH the rest of the year, Whitcomb take over 2nd, and find an outfielder who can provide more punch than Melton now that Dezenzo and Chaz are gone for the year as they have fallen into the MLB's version of the Bermuda Triangle, the Astros' DL.
  3. What I want is the sledge hammer Herman "used" . Not sure any one moment has encapsulated a coach's tenure better than this one.
  4. One small change and that is 2 of their best bats from last season. Not ready to say the production has been completely replaced, but Paredes with no real protection behind him in the line up has been very solid, defense has been goods, and his numbers for a full season project to match what Bregman has given them offensively the last three seasons. Now that I have committed the sin of actually looking ahead the baseball gods will punish Isaac for my transgression by having him sleep on the wrong type of pillow and being out a month.
  5. Astros will be a regular rolling ball of butcher knives when they get everyone back healthy and in the lineup, hopefully this year, but until then keep finding ways to win.
  6. Simply returned to his roots, AC Davis Pirate from Yakima, Washington.
  7. Where can I get that t-shirt?
  8. Not sure the ACC would be excited about schools whose student bodies can be frequently found on a number of amateur porn sites.....or so it is reported on the internet.
  9. Except for the two Cali schools, ASU, and Colorado.
  10. Very true and there are some nice areas in Meyerland/ Rice Village, not sure if he wants to live in the city. Granted, that area isn't the same as living in a true downtown area, but it can be as congested as any area in Houston.
  11. Suspect this is from the back of The Woodlands. Would much rather live there than Sugarland or Pearland area.
  12. Feel confident in the outcome as long as he faces the ChiSox.
  13. No HR? Sounds like a godsend in some aspects.
  14. I will volunteer to talk unmerciless shit about Gusto between starts if it will result in performances such as last night. Feel confident in the outcome as long as he faces the ChiSox.
  15. The one aspect of these Mt. Rushmore conversations that often times get lost is not just the physical greatness of the player, but the leadership of that player as well as part they played in carrying whatever team to greatness. Example, no one questions the physical tools that Vince was blessed with and the manner that he often times completely outclassed the competition, even the very best of college football at that time. There has to be a multiplier to his greatness factor when we remember he did this in a Greg Davis offense and had to overcome Mack's neurosis as he changed a program from one that had truly shit on its shelf in some big moments under Mack (specifically playing OU ) into a program that continually faced any challenge and made the plays needed to pull out games that before would have been losses such as Kansas or Oklahoma State, beat THE Ohio State at Columbus, Michigan in the Rose Bowl, and finally USC for the national title. That is one reason why I mentioned Nobis. The old timers I know who saw him played talked more about Tommy's leadership and toughness than his physical ability which was pretty name impressive when you consider he was a 3x all conference player in an era where freshmen didn't play varsity ball, a 2x AA, and he started both ways for three seasons. He was a key piece to the Horns winning the National Title in 1963, beating Navy and Staubach in the Cotton Bowl that year, as well as beating top ranked Bama and Namath in 1965. The guy averaged 20 tackles a game at linebacker while playing guard. Fuck, load management or monitoring work rate.
  16. Finish? It was hard to start after watching the first 10 minutes and thinking it was Wilson redoing his character from You, Me and DuPree yet again. He has done a ton of work since Midnight in Paris and much just isn't good or different from the other bad roles.
  17. Not only did the Tom Hank's classic "Bachelor Party" gives us NIck, but who could forget Milt and the first time we meet him.
  18. My mistake, for some reason I keep thinking he did the two years at San Jac instead of the first year. Wasn't a question of the quality, but the mistake on his coming in as a sophomore instead of as a junior as I remembered which was wrong.
  19. Maybe, but if I am bringing one of those guys up then I am pulling Gusto from the rotation before Lance.
  20. You sure that is him?
  21. I actually am not too bad with that, he has been out so long, and really didn't go through a long ramp up time to get ready to pitch. Not expecting 2017 Lance, heck, not even hoping for it, but am interested to see if his control improves .
  22. He just got back from being out for roughly 2 years from injury, is on the last year of his contract, and he needs something to help motivate him? Who exactly do you have in mind that is on the Astros roster or in their system that could provide this extra incentive?
  23. Maybe I am misremembering and I am too lazy right now to look it up, but I seem to recall Clayborne actually playing some offense for the Horns and was a pretty fair sprinter in his day as well.
  24. Comparing Brooks with Roger, Brooks actually had a career at Texas where if I recall correctly Roger had part of a one season (sat out some due to injury). Jammer over Gray?
  25. If he is what is keeping the Big 12 afloat we are fucked.
