  1. I'm taking my kids (2 & 4) to their first baseball game next Sunday against the Padres! We got the free tickets in the nosebleeds through the Astros Buddies program, but I doubt the kids will want to watch more than a couple innings. There's only so many snacks and treats to keep them occupied.
  2. Wow, lame throw by Pena and Singleton couldn't scoop it.
  3. Pena setting himself up to hit for the cycle today
  4. Wow, 2 for 2 with 2 RBIs and a run for Mike! Corey Julks eat your heart out!
  5. Holy shit, Maldy with a hit, but he's so slow, he's thrown out at 2nd lol...
  6. Yordan flashing the bunt for the first couple pitches to try to draw in the infield is pretty funny.
  7. I think all of John Mayer's stuff falls in this category, but this is my favorite song of his:
  8. Yeah, that's a pretty salty lineup. Swap Chas for Dubon though, he should be the full time CF. I wonder if other execs around the league look at this situation and think they could trade for Chas on the cheap this offseason, since the club doesn't seem to have faith in him. I'm surprised they have Brantley in Left instead of Yordan. I figured Mike would come back and DH a few games before getting out in the field. I'll be interested to see how he does, hopefully he's the missing piece this team needed to get over the top!
  9. Altuve hits for the cycle! Awesome! 420 FEET!
  10. Altuve starts off the next inning and needs a Homerun to get the cycle, right?
  11. Those drink prices have got to be insane
  12. Astros still have to play the Mariners and Rangers 3 times each, and they have to play each other 7 of the last 10 games of the season. I think that they will beat each other up, and as long as the Astros can go 2-1 in those series, they should be good to at least make the wild card. The schedule coming up has a lot of easy games, Tigers, Padres, As and the Royals twice, so there is plenty of opportunity for this team to win a lot of games and the division. It's going to be a wild ride all the way to the end, but that likely means they won't be able to rest anyone important for the last few games. In the past, the Astros haven't had anyone close to taking the division for the last 1-2 weeks of the season, and it has allowed them to go into the playoffs well rested, but that probably won't happen this year. That could hurt them, but it also makes winning the division more important to get the Bye and have a much better pitching rotation to start the playoffs. Philly made the World Series last year being a 6th seed, so if they get a Wild Card it's not the end of the line, but winning the division would be pretty sweet for a lot of reasons, and to fuck over the Rangers and Mariners.
  13. Hey, it only took him 110 games to figure out that Pena doesn't belong in the 2 spot!
  14. It's crazy how close the top 3 are, and yet the Angels went ALL IN at the trade deadline to be a sub .500 team lol
  15. Nice win and a great performance by JV, very happy to see that. Bullpen could have been better, but whatever.
  16. Woooooooooooow, this Red Sox team plays defense like little leaguers.
  17. He probably saw the lineup that Diaz was on the bench and punched a wall.
  18. The Harden/Morey thing is sad. If Harden said he wants to go to the Clippers, but they don't want to trade for him, what is Morey supposed to do? You can't force a trade to happen, and the number of teams interested in him at 35m for 1 year is probably zero. Once a team fails to perform up to expectations and they want to tank the rest of the way, trading for his expiring deal and buyout might be attractive, but that's several months away.
  19. "One thing about Diaz is that his bat is forcing him to learn a position he doesn't play" Yes, it's the BAT that's causing him to do that. If only he could bat .170 he could be the starting catcher.
