  1. Its pretty messed up that the Astros, in the midst of their golden era, get dinged like that on the tv deal.
  2. Chronicle knows that hate pieces get more clicks than fluff pieces. Its all about the $$ and this was by design.
  3. If we stay reasonably healthy this season we are winning more than 90-92 games. We won 90 last season with significant injuries to Altuve and Yordan to name a few. Add the fact we dont have the human anchor as a manager, we'll be closer to 100 than 90.
  4. The media gets clicks ($) by pushing the cheating scandal. Its been a cash cow for them for years now and Chron is no different. Fluff pieces about the hometown team dont bring home the bacon.
  5. The only media options that fucking matter to me are those of TK, Blum and Julia. The rest can go eat a dong.
  6. That comes to about $433,000 per game. Holy crap.
  7. Sark's player friendly approach will benefit us in the long run.
  8. I so much look forward to a season without managerial fuckery. That's my only expectation in 24, no managerial fuckery. Chas playing 90% of the games at CF/LF, and Diaz playing 90% at C/DH is an immediate and significant improvement over last season..
  9. I thought he opted out of his senior year. What that just some kind of cover?
  10. He died too soon now he's up there with Hank
  11. It looks like India has accidentally hired someone on Surly too.
  12. The trip was awesome.. We did Ernst Tinaja on Wednesday afternoon, dinner at La Kiva which was fantastic. Thursday was the big hike.. We started at Chisos Basin, then Pinnacles to Emory Peak, back down to Boot Canyon and around East Rim and South Rim, before returning on Laguna Meadows to Chisos Basin. 15.5 miles and took is right at 10 hours. Long Draw Pizza never tasted better that night. On Friday we did the boomerang, a canoe trip in Santa Elena Canyon. We had lunch in Fern Canyon and scrambled a good ways back in there, which was awesome. Dinner at Starlight which is always good. On Saturday we hiked Lost Mine and then left for BBQ in Marathon for lunch, and on to Ft Davis for the Star Party.
  13. I was there this past Wednesday through Saturday afternoon. I'm glad she was found safe, but the whole thing was very odd. Lost Mine Trail is a pretty straight forward hike and I couldn't understand how you would get lost unless you tried. My theory is she hiked to the bottom of that valley at the end of the trail and ended up falling in something or hiking down into a hole she couldn't get out of.
  14. I am heading to BB tomorrow with friends.. We have South Rim, Santa Elena Canyon, and McDonald Observatory on the agenda.. I have a question about Ernst Tinaja.. I have a 2wd Ford Expedition.. Is this sufficient to drive on the road to access this trail? I took the same vehicle down Old Maverick Rd last year, no issues..
  15. I'm fine with Maldy coming back as long as he doesn't start more than 40 games. That should be a clause in his contract. he starts more than 40 games, he waives his salary.
  16. No thanks. Unless you want to see more Jake Meyer who will play because Trout is hurt again They must have recently wached ALCS games 6 and 7.
  17. That's whats scarry.. contracts last year were stupid high and for way too long. I want some of these free agents, but not if its going to kill the organization
  18. He's like Robert Horry, but not as awesome. Ironically Horry looks like the other Will Smith
  19. Iron sharpens iron. Hopefully the Rangers win means we are more aggressive this offseason. With Diaz and Chas playing everyday we are immediately better. We start the season with a 6 man rotation, then get help from Luis Garcia at the ASB.. I think we need a top end starter, but this can be obtained at the deadline.
  20. I forgot to mention he was able to manage his team to a 49-32 HOME record. Sign me the fuck up.
  21. Counsell would be great. Proven track record and checks alot of boxes. He's old school, ok with analytics, and has won at a decent clip as a manager.
  22. Its the cycle of rage the internet is having fun with. Float a terrible candidate, let everyone rage for a few days, then repeat.
