  1. Hey Dan - why don’t we look at the different rivers in Texas and see where sirens could save lives in addition to the Guadalupe? It only takes over 100 dead for Dan to do the absolute fucking minimum.
  2. Yep - I view the Kikuchi and the second Verlander trades as incomplete to this point. The 24 team probably doesn’t make the playoffs without Kikuchi but he didn’t even start a playoff game.
  3. I’ve been looking back at the Astros deadline deals and we gave up the controllable years for Teoscar, Hader, Wilyer and Siri for guys that didn’t really make a difference in the ultimate outcome. In some cases, they were actually detrimental (C. Gomez and the fucking rat). The Astros obviously won some deadline deals as well and incredibly didn’t give up anything of value for the first Verlander, Yordan, Grienke and Pressly trades. As they approach the trade deadline this year, I hope they don’t look at any of these deals for a JAG. If the guys a real difference maker, then go for it, but otherwise I would rather they keep what’s in the system. Also, I doubt we have enough value in our system to get any player who would play assuming some of the Astros on the IL come back.
  4. Jake can’t go to the DL yet. First he has to be misdiagnosed by the Astros medical staff and they can put him on the DL a few days later when he sees an actual medical doctor who doesn’t prescribe leeches.
  5. It’s TACO Monday! Bessent is indicating this week’s deadline will be moved to August 1 via the sternly worded letters to be sent by TFG.
  6. Whitcomb still can’t field a position.
  7. Also was Elaine’s friend on Seinfeld who he didn’t want to give anymore kisses hello.
  8. It hasn’t passed the House yet. The Senate version differs and still needs to pass the House to go to TFG for signature. I believe it gets passed in the House.
  9. Also, to bring up Matthews, does someone need to get released? Brice isn’t on the 40 man yet.
  10. I had a 2020 Taco with the 4 cylinder. It’s underwhelming but will last forever.
  11. Yep - 107 and 106 mph EV last inning for the Phillies. Hopefully Gordon can get through 5.
  12. I actually believe this year’s version of Pena is closer to what you will get for some of the early years of his next contract. He has been on a multi year project to rebuild his swing and it’s all coming together. The Astros have a lot of money coming off the books after this season (Abreu, Montero, Framber and Pressly). With the state of the farm system, they can’t let Pena walk for nothing. When the Astros let all of the other free agents leave, there was always a replacement plan in place. At this point, they will need to sign free agents to keep this going.
  13. That’s true and his stats at sea level are atrocious.
  14. At some point, you have to sign some of your players. There isn’t a Jeremy Pena waiting in the minor leagues this time unless you are a believer in Matthews.
  15. Framber keeps escaping. Let’s get him some runs.
  16. So he can give up the lead again? The Angels are hitting him hard. Use the bullpen and the day off tomorrow and get out of here with a win using the getaway day lineup.
  17. We’re making this guy look like prime Steve Carlton.
  18. Does Promo Code “Conviction” result in 34% off?
  19. To give Paredes a half day off
  20. Selling public lands is back in the Senate version of the bill and it impacts 11 states (excluding Montana).
  21. And Framber is dealing
  22. Paxton’s last primary in 2022 is interesting. He ended up winning the runoff with the younger Bush. Arguably the Gohmert voters in the primary are likely Paxton voters and those votes would have eliminated the need for a runoff. If I was placing a wager, I would put it on Paxton, but 57% of the 2022 primary voters wanted someone other than the lazy-eyed philandering pen thief.
