My last 3 games at MMP have been 9/24, when we got swept by KC, ALDS Game 2, and last night. Been real fun spending 3 of my last 5 Sundays watching us flounder. I think my in-person record for the year is something like 4-11. I'm not setting foot in that stadium again until the College Classic in March. Don't care what happens tonight.
Just saw a stat that we've had 28 sellouts at MMP this year. We're 7-21 in those games.
How can a team save its absolute worst baseball for its biggest home crowds? It boggles the mind.
I think it starts out as a stretch of bad luck then becomes entirely mental. It absolutely has to be mental at this point.

The only thing that would be a bigger deal than this would be a Cowboys/Texans Super Bowl... and thats probably never going to happen.. The Cowboys suck

Let's not jump to any hasty conclusions. There's always two sides to every story. Well, in this case, I guess there's three.
Good points. Its important to cover every angle and not go off on a tangent.

Thanks for the response and for what it's worth, I think it reflects positively that you felt shame and embarrassment at the scandal. That's a well-adjusted, emotionally healthy response to something as dastardly as what the Astros were doing and did-- proven beyond a shadow of a doubt fact.
But because of the way others responded, you are still justifying Astro fans, such as yourself, minimizing the insidiousness of it all.
I do think that eventually the booing and the hate for the cheating will be dulled and it won't be acute, but I hope it is never forgotten.
Insidiousness? Really? We banged on trash can to tip pitches for a half season in 2017, a tactic that was dropped in the opening games of 2018 because it didn't work, proven by the fact the Astros had a better road record than home record that season.
Chuckie is absolutely correct. People are pissed that the Astros have pushed in their stool for 8 years on the field. The media was especially concerned with the fact that St. Yankee kept repeatedly getting bitch slapped by Houston. Case and point is Ranger fan having Astro balls drug across their face once again this past Sunday and all of the sudden the cheating bullshit comes out again, 6 years after it happened. Had the Rangers won, we're not going to be crying about Pudge and Juan Gonzales doing roids.
Its the use of the word insidiousness that discredits every point you were trying to make. Baylor's scandal was insidious, as was Penn States. The Astros was wrong, but they have apologized, been punished, and paid the price for what they did and then some. Insidious? GTFO

I like watching him in the video of the 1st post.. You can see his improvement as he gets more and more comfortable with the position.

I'm thinking if Chris O and JC had a baby, it would be JBrooks.

Ok so we have comps to Rochon, Ced, Arian Foster, and JC. Lets go ahead and throw in Earl and Barry Sanders while we're at it.

Was telling 3putt the other day at the game that Altuve would be in MVP talk if he played all season. His numbers are pretty fucking good for half a season.

I crack up at everyone having to have an offroader these days. You would thing DFW is one giant mud ranch with no pavement whatsoever with all the lifted trucks and wranglers.

Everything is better when Yanier catches. Team W/L, pitcher ERA, passed balls.. he is clearly the superior player..

At least Cleveland getting those players is better than Arlington claiming two or three pitchers
Arlington could have absolutely used those pitchers. I guess Cleveland came first in the waiver order; not sure how all that works

Waivers isn’t a major transaction. That’s what you don’t get.
Its big enough to let a player and/or his agent know.. Somebody dropped the ball for ESPN to find out first.
In other news, I picked up Jasson on my fantasy team based on you hyping him up.. We shall see.

What a totally unbiased source.
Waivers isn’t the same as being released or traded or sent down and that author has no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. No team would sit a player down and say “we’re placing you on waivers”. That’s like sitting them down and saying “hey you’re probably not going anywhere but there’s a chance you might. And even we don’t know where”. Not surprised an idiot like you ate that up.
So the media finds out major transactions before the players? OK. And of all the shit you have eaten up the past few years, the idiot comment is pretty rich.

But Bader didn’t learn of his fate in a traditional way. Instead, the 29-year-old revealed he found out he was being waived by catching a glimpse of a television.
“I was in the lunchroom. Saw it on ESPN,” Bader told reporters following New York’s win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, per YES Network video. “I guess it popped somehow on there. So, that’s how I found out.”

Yep. Big overpay just for someone to carry Altuve's jock.

I think we beat Rice, but excitement is subdued from the field goal post not being centered with the south endzone tunnel.

Garcia returns at the ASB? What about LMJ? Thats 7 arms if they're all healthy, and that's a big if.
