    I’ve been worried about this for a while. Back in 2010, Hermine wasn’t even a hurricane when it made landfall near Brownsville... but it ended up passing directly over us in San Antonio and even those winds were memorable. All the talking heads on TV have been patting themselves on the back all week, telling us that Laura won’t be another Harvey. I mean, that’s true... but it fails to mention that hurricane-level winds are possible as far inland as Lufkin and Alexandria. That’s a big deal.

    Assuming this all goes as we now expect, hats off to the folks at the NHC. So many other mets were aggressively pushing this west based on the Euro for the past couple of days, and those NHC guys didn’t really budge. Even when a metro area of 6 million+ was potentially in the crosshairs. Balls of steel.

    That was his call of the Burke walk-off in 2005. F Atlanta.

    Bags!

    Doesn’t appear that they were irreplaceable.

    I’m not sure why some of you expect people to be “permanently” turned off to the GOP. W had an approval rating in the low 20s on Obama’s Inauguration Day. The Republicans had ruled over a decade that included the worst terrorist attack in modern history, a bungled war that turned into a quagmire, a natural disaster that rendered a great American city unlivable for months, and the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression. After Obama got the car back onto the road, our country promptly and eagerly handed the keys right back to the GOP. They won the House in 2010, the Senate in 2014, and rounded it out with the trifecta in 2016. Remember, Bush left office with an approval rating 15 points lower than Trump’s has ever been. Maybe this administration will turn people permanently away from the Republican Party. But I’m not expecting it this time.

    Still amazed at how much credit the NBA world gives to Masai for having the “courage” to pull off that trade. is it really courageous when all you’re giving up is a modern version of Willie Anderson? He would have been committing front office malpractice to *not* pursue that deal.

    That should get the postseason bats rolling.

    This made the transition directly from Urquidy to James particularly painful. It was like going from first class on Air France to Greyhound economy.

    Who can forget Biggio always baiting the pro-pediatric cancer brigade by wearing that Sunshine Kids pin?

    “Apex predator” Carlos Correa is hitting a cool .111 in the series.

    My recollection is that we framed that more like, “Thank god Kenny G is gone.” I don’t remember people celebrating the Osuna part.
  13. Welch
    Most amazing part of this story is that this must be the only time any Astros fan anywhere has ever uttered the words “Thank God we got Osuna.”
  14. Welch
    Not much to this story. Either our assistant GM is a dumbass for celebrating domestic violence, or he’s a dumbass for liking Osuna the closer.

    Same here. Always dreamed and hoped id see them win just 1. Thats why im so happy for the die hard fans of Astros. I know what this means to them, thier families. There are family members that i wish were here to celebrate and enjoy 2017 and tonight. I was eight when I got to go to Game 6 of the ‘86 NLCS, and I didn’t think anything would ever top Billy Hatcher’s homer in the 14th. Now it seems like these guys top it multiple times every year. What a team.

    Dude was right.

    I’m okay with this as long the weather sucks from now through the end of the playoffs.

    What an absolutely shittastic performance by Greinke. I understood the whole “wait all season, can’t judge the CFM move in July before the annual injury” argument, but we can judge it now. Gave up Chuck and four prospects for the right to pay Greinke ~$3M more per season. Yay. Still, Astros in 4.

    Game 1 strategy for whoever we play in the ALDS should be to lose by 20.

    I get it. I just think that the gravity of the situation deserved a little more than bureaucratic i-dotting and t-crossing. If my house is on fire, I don’t want my smoke alarm to quietly send an obscure notification to an app buried somewhere on my phone. I want it to wake up the whole block.

    It’s the reason I lost all respect for His Holiness Robert Mueller. He hid behind “purview” and “bailiwick” and “I’d refer you to the report” for six hours, fully aware our POTUS had opened himself (and the country) up to blackmail. All because he reportedly didn’t want to get dragged into partisan crossfire. This whistleblower has 100 times the patriotism and courage that Mueller has.
