Glad that I was wrong about Espada not looking like the guy. Turns out they didn’t even interview anyone else. I still don’t get the delay in announcing the decision, but I fully support it as the right move. He was the obvious choice from a continuity and respect of the clubhouse perspective (Omar Lopez getting a look would have been fine too - maybe that was part of the consideration/delay).
Anyhow, go Stros. A lot of that window is still open.
I mean seriously what the fuck are we doing here. Doesn’t sound to me that Espada is the guy when (1) he wasn’t hired immediately and (2) our GM didn’t even know his fucking contract had expired.
I was relieved to hear the dumbass Angels hired Ron. I can’t believe he was an actual candidate but I was also sure we would end up with him somehow. And Maldy of course.
Brooks’s passing is atrocious. And he was bound to come down to earth on his 3pt%. But check this out. Like him or not, he is an elite defender even on a bad offensive night
I know this is supposed to be the lulz thread. But you’re saying that because younger men can beat professional women in basketball, women’s sports shouldn’t exist? You can go fuck yourself. I assume you’ve never been in a relationship with a woman and certainly don’t have a daughter. Let’s go ahead and keep it that way.
Well, y’all have said it all about Altuve. It’s beyond incredible and we are insanely lucky to have this guy leading this franchise. And anyone who thinks he just cemented himself as the greatest Astro last night is insane - he had that wrapped up long, long ago. Nobody else is even close, including two HOFers.
This is awesome:

Posting here since I know it’s getting more eyeballs than the Vegas thread. Especially @henrygandorf - I’m landing in Vegas shortly and need a place to watch the Stros. I’m thinking Circa Sportsbook but open to recommendations. We are at the Palazzo (hopefully not in THAT suite, if you know you know) - traffic is so terrible that going off strip to Circa is just as fast as going to Beer Park or to other spots on the Strip.
Mainly looking for the place where I won’t fuck up a W.
