  1. At least we’ve been able to show that we can overcome our second half offensive woes. First time we’ve score more in the second half than the first all season, right?
  2. We do have an assistant GM opening.
  3. Don’t disagree on the Latin American contingent, but Click didn’t do anything to drive that. Everything Oz put in place that we’re reaping was in place prior to Click arriving.
  4. Indeed. Neris was nails. Even including him, it’s clear Click didn’t build that staff as was suggested. Again, not hating on Click, but acknowledging he inherited a gold mine.
  5. To be clear, Click only added five arms to that incredible pitching staff - Stanek, Montero, Maton, Baez, and Smith. Montero was the only piece that had a substantial role in the postseason. You can also give him partial credit if you want for resigning Verlander, but that has Crane’s fingerprints all over it. Not attacking the guy, but let’s assign the credit where it’s actually due…and just bring back Luhnow (know it’ll never happen).
  6. Yo Stephanie, Crane has won without Click and Dusty. They haven’t won without him. I like Dusty (yes, I disagree with a lot of the lineups in the regular season), but to credit Click with all of the Astros success over the last three seasons is disingenuous at best. Put the fucking axe down and grab some perspective. George Steinbrenner was a pain to work for because he expected to fucking win. As a fan, you can’t ask for more than that. Being difficult to work for might make him a bad boss, but fuck you if you think he’s a bad owner.
  7. Hook’em, Colton!
  8. As long as there’s no drug testing…
  9. It worked last week, so I’m running it back - Horns 41-24 713 combined passing yards
  10. I don’t know why I’m surprised, but the 44 Farms on Jimbo’s headset is cracking me up.
  11. Finally a debate worthy of our collective intellect.
  12. Yeah, except this wasn’t hindsight for Wulaw. He was essentially jumping on the table to start Javier for Game 3 for this very scenario…it’s more of an “I told you so” than hindsight here.
  13. Wait, you’ve had the sound on during these Fox broadcasts? Masochist. *And obligatory, Elizabeth Taylor couldn’t either.
  14. Love REK, but I’d prefer Beyoncé in some Astros gear….with Jay Z in the stands crying into his Yankees hat.
  15. I regret that I have only one rep to give for this post…although it doesn’t really take the sting out of having to listen to “Serial killer” Joe Davis and Smaltz (not a typo). Couldn’t figure out why I was so weirded out by Joe Davis (other than his takes) until my wife said he has dead eyes. That comment really tied the room together.
  16. I’m slightly less picky. I’d be ecstatic if we end up with Victor or Scoot.
