  1. We're 1 SP and 1 LF bat away from being about the best team we could realistically be this season. If Urquidy and Brantley come back and if they are themselves, that is probably every bit as good as any acquisition you could make; with no additional cost. If there is a >50% chance of them coming back, I wouldn't pay too high a price for anyone. We have a surplus of OF talent in the minors. Parting with one of them (Leon) would be okay. After that, I'd not give up any of our top-5 pitching prospects. It's hard not to want to get in on the action and make yourself better, but you gotta protect the future.
  2. The Angels are fucking themselves for the next 10 years (again).
  3. The fan in me wants them to deal for an ace and another legit bat. I really liked the Cease and Robert idea. Montgomery from the Cards would be a nice get at pitcher. I don't know his contract situation and too lazy to look it up. However, the Astros may be looking at this trade deadline as "adding from the IL." If they get Yordan, Altuve and Urquidy back full time, that would pretty much be the equivalent of getting a good pitcher and good bat via trade without having to give up anything. I hesitate to mention Brantley too. Is he ever coming back?
  4. I saw yesterday some reporting that we are efforting Cease and Robert from CWS. Cease is on a one year deal. That would be cool.
  5. My son was at the Space Cowboys game today and got Yordan to sign his cap.
  6. I hate a bunch of things that most people seem to like and I love a bunch of things that most people seem to hate.
  7. I am a generous and consistent tipper. However, where there is no actual service given, like at a fast food place or counter service, I get very annoyed with a tip jar or a question on the POS machine about adding a tip. For what? Entering my order on a computer screen?
  8. We've been bit hard by the injury bug this season. Altuve, Yordan missing significant time; Brantley missing all the time. Bregman and Abreu underperforming. Montero turning into a pumpkin after he got his money. Losing two starting pitchers (three if you count McCullers)... We are probably exactly where we should be given all of that. With Urquidy, Altuve, Yordan and Brantley back, I think we're a contending team.

    Of course

  10. That hurts, but our biggest issues have been on the offensive side. Abreu sucking was not part of the plan.
  11. Because of the injuries, we need a SP. Because of the suckitude, we need "the answer" at 1B or CF. Core of the lineup is good; bullpen is good. Probably would be giving up way too much future capital to get those two pieces to make a legit run this year. So, likely scenario - we're going to need our stars to be the stars they have been (looking at you Abreu and Bregman) and we're going to need some luck/overperformance on the starting pitching side.
  12. Is Altuve the worst baserunner in the league? Can we get him to just stand on the fucking base and never try or even appear to try to steal?
  13. I was on Matagorda Island last summer with my family, including several kids. I know what is out there because I have seen it personally many times. I keep my head on a swivel. I thought I saw a flash of grey once about five feet away from me. Then I saw the entire body silhouetted in a wave. It was probably 5-6' long. Not sure of type. Immediately called for everyone to get out of the water. Had I not seen it and we'd stayed in I am sure one of us would have been bitten eventually.
  14. Well I haven't. Not only would it risk my wife possibly biting off my dick, but she would be extremely pissed off and might actually divorce me over it. She has no sense of humor, especially about shit like that.
  15. Well I guess I misread the room on this one. I thought we were all assholes here. I thought we were in the trust tree. My bad.
  16. I'm super fucking busy right now. Wife knows this. I'm just rushing from one important thing to the next all day, every day. I have zero time for any bullshit whatsoever. Yesterday we were at my kid's psych appointment and I'm frantically typing work-related emails on my phone while we waited for the doctor. She looks over and tells me, "I need to tell you about a few things this week." I stop typing and look at her and tell her okay. She then proceeds to start telling me about a bunch of events, in great detail, like the end of school parties at my kids' schools, that I'm not going to, have no responsibility for and give no fucks about. Once I realized that every single thing she was telling me was utterly irrelevant to my life I could not help myself and made the "just get on with it" hand gesture. Rookie move. Frown. Tone. FML.
  17. That our team is so good it is impervious to shitty managing?
  18. Can Dubon play left? If Brantley ain't coming back and we want Yordan to DH primarily, then that seems like a good way to keep him in the lineup.
  19. I worked at the Furrow Building Materials store on N. Lamar in the late 90's. A guy just grabbed something off the shelf and walked out the front of the store to a waiting car. Like a dumbshit idealist, I ran out and got between him and the car door and told him, "You can leave, but you are not leaving with that." He handed it back to me, got in the car and drove away. I would not do that same thing today.
  20. Some people are assholes. News at 11.
  21. I don't believe this.
  22. That didn't help. I still don't get it. Old black men eat shit that's weird to other people? Why does Russell Westbrook sneaking a bite of something show that? I've also never heard of black walnut ice cream.
  23. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That was someone else. Unfortunately.
  24. Would still be a trap.
