  1. Is there any validation to the sentiment that the shortstops available in FA next season may not be willing to sign with the Astros because of the bullshit? If Seager/ Lindor ect are going to charge us a premium that may make a case for paying a little extra to the guy that wants to stay here.
  2. I think Crane is a competitor and wants to win. He has gone through great lengths to make this happen and it's trickled down through the entire organization.
  3. Correa is key for this team remaining competitive well into the decade.. Hopefully, he's not asking for a king's ransom.. If he is, the Astros shouldn't overpay and shouldn't shoulder the blame for him walking.. Don't forget this is a 2 way street.
  4. And hopefully preparing themselves for a half empty stadium.
  5. Legalizing drugs would help, but the cartels have diversified themselves into any and every industry in Mexico that yields a profit. Avocados, hotels, oil and gas, ect. Its part of the Mexican fabric. Your only hope is to have a "good" cartel running your territory.
  6. I'm still trying to figure out what Ben Afflek was doing in Norman
  7. If they extend Correa and he keeps getting hurt, I wouldn't fault the Astros.. Kind of like the Texans taking Bosselli in the expansion draft.. Its the right move, but sometimes shit happens.
  8. Yet here you are on Surly.. LOL
  9. 08 F150 with 175k miles, 4.6 V8 2016 Expedition 110k miles, 3.5 ecoboost Mine have been reliable by my definition.. If you have to go 200k and can't go to the shop not 1 single time, then Subaru is the vehicle for you. Consumer reports can really go fuck themselves. Who anointed them the experts on all the shit we buy? And how to they determine the reliability of a brand new vehicle? Do they have a time machine? IMO, Chevy, Ram, and Ford are good vehicles. Get the one you want, and don't let the collection of nerds at Consumer Reports HQ put you in a car you don't like.
  10. Consumer reports can suck it. If we listened to them, we'd all be in a fucking Subaru. I have an 08 F150 4.6 V8.. 175000 miles on it.. I have been in the shop 3 times.. power steering seal wore out, blew out a spark plug on a cylinder, then about 1 year later an issue with the same cylinder missing.. IMO this is reasonable for a truck I've had this long. I like how Consumer reports gives a reliability rating on a brand new vehicle. Subaru has a 99 out of 100, while Ford has a 14 out of 100. Do they have some portal into the future?
  11. How is your buddy compensated if he finds you a place?
  12. Ok.. so go through the chamber of commerce? Just not sure the best place to look..
  13. What methods are you using to look? Websites, ect?
  14. Cholula is not spicy at all, I could drink it on the rocks.
  15. A hippo hunting trip to Colombia? sounds safe.. should be an easy sell to the wife.
  16. Well, my group of 4 is still searching for a place this year.. No luck so far, plenty of frustration.. If you guys know anything about a place freeing up, please let me know..
  17. Where is Altuve here?
  18. I'm hoping one of their horrible decisions is to move the team to London, then have the NFL expand back into Houston. We can start over.
  19. May looks like the toughest month at first glance..
  20. When China eventually buys out Alphabet and Facebook we're all going to wish could still fax.
  21. I would consider Framber and Urquidy to be on the proven list..
  22. Agreed, and you forgot Paredes, Valdez, Javier, and Urquidy. This team has a damn good foundation.
  23. This.. Benintendi, Ozuna, Rosario would be great..
  24. Tampa has had awful attendance relative to their on-the-field success. They consistently filed solid teams..
