  1. I assume they will have her testify against anyone they can who isn't willing to send a few million in crypto to Donald's virtual slush fund. Some people with real deep pockets out there should expect a shakedown.
  2. What's really sad is that when a leopard does eat someone's face in Curtis and they survive, they won't have a hospital to help them recover.
  3. Then fucking change the plan Joe!!! Wtf are you thinking?? You don't have the luxury of starting a caboose full of turds right now. Need some hitters to hit. Let Altuve DH and Cam play RF. Cam is barely old enough to drink, he can wait a few weeks for an off day.
  4. Maybe something that says, "I'm not mad, just disappointed."? I'm partial to this one
  5. I agree with the sentiment, but the people that like Trump believe him when he said he stopped being friends with Epstein in the mid 2000's after the arrest. He didn't want anything to do with him, etc etc. So he was just oblivious to Jeff's evil doings and he's a good guy and wouldn't do anything like that! They love Trump so much, that they believe everything he tells them, like the election was stolen, and ties to Russia was a hoax, and so on. That's why he went with the "this is a hoax" trick with Epstein, which worked for some of his more hard headed supporters, but clearly isn't the higher level magical spell it has been in the past. Hopefully the truth will come out and enough of them will turn on him to make him toxic to the Republicans and radioactive to keep supporting.
  6. Teams can't poison pill a contract any more, and the value of the APY is what's tallied in a trade now. Also, most teams are running with zero cap space, so the few that do have space would be tying up 15-20m in free agent money to Tari, while the Rockets can easily match it after several days. Kuminga didn't even get a free agent offer as an RFA this offseason because of it. Best to sign a 1 year QO and hit the market as a free agent to maximize money, unless the team is willing to give you a big long term deal. I think it's great for the Rockets to have that flexibility and see what he can do this year.
  7. It's weird how the Astros keep pulling gems out of their "league worst farm system" Other teams must be completely stacked with rookies and guys that are still pre-arb.
  8. Is that not blocking the plate? Maybe we should check on that, since that other one was discussed for 5 minutes.
  9. oh shit! Matthews FTW!
  10. Nice AB by Trammel to get on base. Just need another jack from Brice to take the lead...
  11. Wow, Chas almost got a hit there!
  12. Nice job to get out of that jam. Now get a few runs to get Framber another W.
  13. Nice play to save a run there.
  14. This ump has his zone shifted about 3 inches towards the first base line. So weird, it's like he's looking at everything from an angle rather than head on.
  15. Nice snag by Framber. This HPU is not giving strikes on the corners. Gonna be interesting to see if the zone stays tight all night.
  16. I just use pirate sites since it's usually blacked out for me. https://www.streameast.sk/mlb/houston-astros-arizona-diamondbacks-5/
  17. Cheap contract, low risk, sure why not. If nothing else, he can help match salaries in a trade at the deadline.
  18. I think MPJ has been a good (above average) defender in the past, but last year he had some shoulder issues that really impacted both his offense and defense. I don't think last year is the best one to consider for his future defensive value, he was obviously hobbled but kept playing due to necessity. I would think after a full off-season he will come back into form. But I would agree that last year he was pretty bad on D. Cam is not a good defender though. Now whether that is because he was on a shitty team with the Nets, had a bad coach, or just didn't care about defense, I don't know. Certainly there is room for him to grow, and a huge incentive for him to play hard both ways in Denver, but I don't think it's going to have a huge impact. He will the the third/fourth option on this offense and will need to make his money via sharp shooting and being a team player. MPJ when healthy is a better defender overall, maybe only by a few points per possession. However, swapping them and getting Cam who is about ~6% better at hitting 3s may end up being a huge win for Denver.
  19. You're right. I didn't think anyone would give a shit enough to write anything about the shitty Cam. My bad. Cam Johnson will be interesting to watch this season. He will finally have a real point guard who is incredible at creating open looks, and he has a much higher shooting % than MPJ did. What they lose in defense may be greatly out gained in offense. Nuggets fans should be very high on their team now.
  20. They need Obama in jail, so that when Trump runs for a third term, Obama won't able to challenge him.
  21. I love when the Internet finds a new meme to get behind and run it into the ground. SIAP
