  1. The Astros medical staff just consulted their tea leaves and Spencer should be go to go after 2-3 bleedings and a ceremonial ritual to drive away evil spirits.
  2. Yet you have now given him more attention by writing about him twice and suspect you might not be able to just let it lie. The comment is accurate and many of the players have shown they really don't understand that the very league only has existed this long because the NBA has been willing to subsidize it and any player in the WNBA who wants to bitch about the level of salary they are paid or means of travel better be damn glad they aren't having to exist off the revenue the league generates on its own. Hence why they don't have to like Clark, but they damn well better realize her importance, but when you have a league made up of players who have a skewed perception of their value is it any surprise.
  3. You don't like a 2B with the lateral range and quickness of Mark Eaton?
  4. For the Alvarez injury? Tucker? Jeff Kent?
  5. Be nice, we all know there really isn't a proven way to determine if an injury is soft tissue or bone,
  6. Haven't seen Chas and hit written in the same post very often this year.
  7. Bullshit....it took over a month for the inflammations to go down enough so that you can actually get an x-ray that shows the fracture that happened almost two months ago? Do the Astros consult a group of 8 -year old's for these explanations that no one buys from them.
  8. Would it make it any less accurate?
  9. If that is what it takes to get a quality start more than half the time from the back 3/5's of the rotation, yes, for the greater Astro good.
  10. Maybe, but you better be working damn near 70 hours a week. People I know in Ft Worth said he did a bit more than "scout" overlooked players. WOS, Jasper, Newton, etc aren't exactly programs that just started having success or producing college level talent in the 2000's.
  11. Fry's assistants who went on to be HC's won a number of games, conference titles, and a few NC's, but it is a collection of some of the most miserably insufferable people to walk a sideline. Maybe you needed to be an overbearing control freak to win and do what Snyder did at KState, but there is no level of hell low enough for someone who gave us Pellini, Bielema, and the Stoops brothers.
  12. Last night the odds finally caught up with them as they have come behind in multiple games in this homestand, used those mediocre middle relievers WAY TOO much because of the starters health issues, and things just broke wrong. The bigger question to me is why the fuck can Houston area pro athletes not heal in a somewhat normal time frame? Arrighetti just went on the 15-day disabled listed two days ago with a target return date of mid July for the thumb he broke 8 weeks ago. We all know the body count among starting pitchers, Alvarez "sore" hand, and the Kyle Tucker soap opera, but we also got last fall the season long "calf strain" for Christian Harris. I guess if it is cancer, kid's diseases, heart transplants, and fake boobs the Houston medical community can't figure out what to do with it.
  13. Huh? Would have been nice to win, but still a half game behind Seattle with a shit load of injuries to the starting pitching and Alvarez had yet to decide if he is going to play this year or not so all things consider about where we were yesterday.
  14. How the hell was he making $110K being a pipe fitter in a fire hydrant factory?
  15. Bonus points for integrating the SWC and producing a coaching tree that has some of the biggest arseholes ever to coach? Funny thing about Fry to me is that he claims the reason he got fired at SMU was because he didn't agree to go along with a booster group and cheat, but what he doesn't mention is he was there 11 years and only had 3 winning seasons.
  16. Saquon Barkley told a funny story about Peppers when Saquon appeared on hot one's. Basically it was his welcome to the NFL moment when Peppers locked on to him and Barkley realized he couldn't get free of him not what how hard he tried to break loose of his grip.
  17. Not just the 80's vibe, but the changed it brought about in the way a police show was presented and the main characters were portrayed compared to their predecessors and peers. if you were a kid growing up in the 70's & early 80's and watched any police shows on tv you can pick out the common traits, settings, and characters from among: Kojack Streets of San Francisco Columbo Police Story Cagney & Lacey (Even with two women as the leads they followed the formula) Starsky & Hutch (Even as the "cool" detectives they really didn't carry that anti-hero vibe). The Equalizer Hill Street Blues TJ Hooker Hunter Chips Then you get to Miami Vice. The music, the settings, the wardrobe and just flash of color as opposed to being gray, cold, and wet, and from the very first show you had this feeling that if push came to shove Sonny and Tubbs would do whatever they needed to do to bring about "justice". I am not sure how you reproduce that feeling in a reboot. The closest thing I can think of is when they rebooted Shaft.
  18. She is not in the same vein. She has athletic traits and some skills, but not the grit. Dennis was what he was because of his pathway from high school to working at DFW handling luggage to a shitty directional school in Oklahoma after he grew to 6'7" and then going to a Detroit team that had plenty of strong personalities that only needed him to rebound and play defense.
  19. I shouldn't give away the ending I have come up with until i get paid, but let's say Crocket is very glad he is wearing his life alert bracelet.
  20. Dennis knew what he needed to do to stay in the league and help his team win. Basketball reference actually provides different numbers that you site, but regardless he was never the first, second, third, or fourth option. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/r/rodmade01.html I suspect he also never went 0-fer and it wasn't until he was in his 14th year in the NBA at 37 that he shot less than .400 from the field and all those tip ins and follow ups weren't uncontested dunks and open lay ups. He was going up against biggest guys who actually could get off the floor.
  21. The next Reveile?
  22. The OLD cast? Doing what, going undercover in a retirement community to blow the lid on Medicare fraud and scripts smuggled in from Canada?
  23. I think the issue has become the same for baseball and basketball. What are you trying to do when you select your post season teams? Pick the best teams, reward teams for the success of their season, and/or reward teams for playing a competitive schedule?
  24. Fair to whom? Dennis was a career 52% shooter who at 6'7" primarily went against bigger players.
