  1. Click is a good capable front office personnel guy for a majority of the big league teams who doesn't see eye to eye with his current owner, so it makes sense for there to be an amicable parting of the ways, with a nice pat on the back, and a world series ring, on his way out the door. I would be surprised if this hasn't already been in the works for weeks or months.
  2. Those nine hits were spread over two of the three games also. Team needs to be way more consistent. DFA for errbody.
  3. Seeing the clip of Bagwell makes me wonder if he and Biggio still have some type of contractual agreement with the Astros? Personal services, team goodwill ambassadors, or advisory of some type? Caveat is I have no idea about these sort of things work, but seems to me like it would makes sense from both sides to pay those guys a nice salary to stick around the club and just be bad asses.
  4. Interesting article on Wilson Contreras to the Astros at the trade deadline: https://sports.yahoo.com/report-cubs-astros-had-willson-212041812.html Click was the odd man out in the voting process it looks like.
  5. I wonder what became of the last out ball in Tucker’s glove?
  6. Game 5 was the most stressful game I’ve watched since I can’t remember when. Amazing how high your heart rate can get just sitting and watching a game. It just ratcheted up with each pitch.
  7. The first thing you need to ask is Click gone? I would expect that to happen pretty quickly after the parade. No sense in prolonging it if that is the deal.
  8. Rod Babers pointed out that the Texas offense becomes more vanilla as the game progresses from a multiple set / pre snap movement / misdirection standpoint for whatever reason. Maybe they practice the scripted plays more and have them memorized, but struggle with the offensive play calling when it’s on the fly and situational, maybe it’s too complicated when it’s off-script, who knows?
  9. Fun season. Let’s do it again next year.
  10. Good deal.
  11. Framber owns the Phillies order after Harper. One more inning.
  12. Bijan going off
  13. Mancini at first.
  14. I think Astros pitching vs Phillies pitching tonight favors the Astros more than a crap shoot game 7 quasi bullpen game favors Houston. LFG tonight. Bats show up tonight and this deal is over.
  15. The Death Star is fully operational
  16. From blustery rainy Katy FIGHT!!!
  17. The roof will be closed to selectively allow Astros homeruns but not phillies homeruns. And also, the crowd will be impossibly loud with the roof closed. How can the phillies even play in such an environment?
  18. I'd love to spend a rainy friday morning in Zurich. Maybe just get a coffee and a pastry and chill.
  19. Man what we need is some phillyfan phone video of the McCormick catch, and stadium volume level going from 11 to 0. That's the type of tears I need to slake my thirst this morning in Houston.
  20. I 'member this one time at band camp...... (kidding of course. I was also a band nerd, hope it goes well)
  21. Fredsanford.gif. wow. Great game.
  22. Gird your loins boys.
