  1. Full Game highlights: Sengun highlights from last night:
  2. So what would a Walker trade look like? He has 2 years 40m left on his deal at age 35. When he signed his deal, it was reported that he had a limited NTC as well: "Christian Walker's three-year contract with the Astros contains a limited no-trade clause that will allow him to block a trade to six teams, a person familiar with the deal said." There were a lot first basemen moving around last offseason, but several of those were 1 year rentals. I would expect the 1b market to be at least warm this offseason, so there may be a good opportunity to send him out and take on a player/reclamation project with some salary they want to offload. I hope they don't end up paying down like 20m of that deal in dead money to get rid of him.
  3. I doubt even Susan Collins is concerned about it.
  4. I remember back when the shutdowns started under Obama, and everyone was trying to blame him for not following the rules of proposing a full budget for Congress to negotiate and pass as a way of funding the government. It was all his fault because he didn't follow the process, and this same argument was used against his administration for years which lead to many shutdowns and CRs. Of course, none of that applies now to a Republican president, because reasons...
  5. Hell of a sequence by Yamamoto to get out of the jam.
  6. Getting interesting now...
  7. Chuck Schumer is so fucking worthless, how does he keep getting elected as Minority Leader? The guy can't communicate, he's senile and he's the only known dinosaur that is also an invertebrate. Someone called Hakeem Jefferies "AIPAC Shakur" and I think that's hilariously accurate. He's worthless too, now I see why the Dem establishment picked him as the next Speaker. Dems need to champion issues, not the process and rules. The issue isn't that you are not agreeing to a CR, the issue is that the American people don't even know what the fuck you are holding out for.
  8. We need a thread to predict what new country will be first to have US boots on the ground. I know Iran would probably have the best odds, but after that it should have some interesting options. Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico and China probably round out the top 5. Maybe some latin or South America countries, dark horse possibilities of Gaza, Ukraine and Russia. I would go with Venezuela for good odds and a realistic chance of happening. I bet we would be welcomed by their people as liberators to free them from Communist Marxism!
  9. Pablo on LeBatard's show discussing the whole ordeal and Mark Cuban. I appreciate Pablo's ability to recall all these dates and events, but I really wish he would make a chronological infographic of all the interactions and money exchanges to help illustrate how stupid this all is.
  10. That probably should have been a sac bunt to tie the game when there were zero outs, but whatever. I don't think either of these teams are getting past the Blue Jays, but it would be nice to at least tie it when the runner is on third.
  11. Jram with the rare infield triple to start the inning.
  12. Skubal at 96 pitches coming back out for the 8th is a ballsy move, but it's the playoffs, can't hold anything back!
  13. Is that not blocking the plate anyways? Foot planted behind him directly in the baseline to block the runner.
  14. 2 on, no outs after that broken camera delay. Time for something to happen...
  15. I think what this team really needs is a good locker room guy that can rally the troops and support Joe. The Astros need to hire Maldonado as their bench coach, and his presence will turn this thing around. Machete in the dugout would be a huge morale boost! Make it happen Dana!
  16. I thought the Republicans had a majority? Can they not convince 218 of their own to vote for a bill to fund the government? Also, I thought this administration was all about saving money and getting historic revenue from tariffs. How did they run out of money again?
  17. Well, they also traded Derozan for an MVP caliber player in Kawhi... And really, they won game 7 in OT after tying it with one of the flukiest shots of all time, and then had the good fortune of the Warriors to be decimated by injuries just as they made the Finals. But hey, if the Astros win another ring because Ohtanis arm falls off, I won't complain. Either way, Espada is in over his head.
