  1. 100% THIS Fox News and the right wing propaganda machine has so thoroughly brainwashed the collective political consciousness and worked the corporate "liberal" media so effectively since the early 90s that the dipshits who call themselves centrists have convinced themselves it's The Left that is wildly out of control and obsessed with pushing LatinX trans women in sports and not the insane right-wing Christofascists returning us to the 1850s. The only thing that matters now is being a principled pugilist not afraid of being called a socialist/commie/marxist/pedophle. That's the GOP's only gameplan and the way to beat them is to smash them in the fucking face. That's what the people respond to.
  2. This cat's got it. He's exceptional and I look forward to the old guard Dems being replaced by younger, vibrant, engaged fighters like Zohran.
  3. Kirsten Gillibrand is a fucking CUNT and should immediately resign for this insane slander and defamation of Mamdani. With Democratic party "friends" like these..... https://nitter.space/barbarismcrit/status/1938309709842550831#m
  4. I had the same concerns as well because usually those one-run games are a function of randomness/luck and that worm could easily turn on us, but hey let's just ride the wave while it's hot and hope it continues. There's also a good argument to be made that the team's record in these close games isn't just a coin flip because they are only two games ahead of their pythag W-L and two games ahead of their third order W-L record (which accounts for strength of schedule). I think it's time to give credit to Wulaw and admit this is just a really damn good baseball team and poised to get better when our best power hitter returns.
  5. On that note, Brown and Framber have a combined 2.31 ERA thus far. In 2019 Verlander and Cole finished 1-2 in CYA voting with a combined 2.54 ERA. LFGOOOOO
  6. Big h/t to the Htown media goat Charlie Palillo for these stats that really are amazing: In one-run games so far this year, the Astros are 17-7. For the entire 2024 season the Astros were 18-27 in one-run games. That's fuckin insane and inexplicable, but I will happily take it. In extra innings the Astros are 5-1 so far. They were 6-10 in extras for 2024. Also: in games where we have scored 3 runs or fewer, the Astros are 18-26, over .400 winning %. That sounds bad, right? It's actually amazingly good. Last year's record when they scored 3 runs or fewer: 12-55!!! For context, the Phillies are 11-22. The Cubs 10-22. Mets 10-21. The Dodgers and Yankees are both 8-22 in the same game scenario. GOT DAYM!!
  7. these games vs Philly aren't helping pad our run differential
  8. What a great strikeout pitch by Okert on Schwarber
  9. When do we call up Brice Matthews? Before the ASB or will they keep him playing regularly in AAA? This organization does love Dubon and if you call up Matthews, he either pushes Dubon back into a utility role of the bench or he rides the bench and doesn't play regularly.
  10. The horror. The horror.
  11. that fucking guy again repeat of Monday night
  12. 4-0 in extras and 13-7 in one-run games
  13. Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of Seattle's high-water mark in the AL West standings with a 10 gm lead over the Astros. That Astros team was seven games under .500 at 33-40 after getting shut out on 7 hits vs the White Sox scoring twice with two hits. This season doesn't even compare to last year and last year's team didn't get to .500 until June 26th.
