  1. I’ll never forget them not selling concessions after the 7th. Couldn’t even buy a water for 12 innings of baseball. Ended up worth it
  2. Well I guess that makes me feel a little better…but like not really lol
  3. The Astros payroll is paying 71.3 million. 30% of the 237 million dollar luxury tax cap to 4 players with minimal to no contribution to the 2025 team. Jose Abreu (30M), Rafael Montero (11.5), Cristian Javier (12.8) and Lance McCullers (17M) Throw in their 2 back end pen guys at 19M and 15M plus the backup catcher at 6M. 111.3M…46% of the cap on 4 non contributors, 2 bullpen dudes and a backup catcher Wooooooof…knew it was bad but had to examine the damage. Good news is, there is a fuck ton of room next season. I wonder if there is a play with a current free agent to take a back loaded deal with less AAV next year and more moving forward, also seems to make a Framber extension a bigger possibility. Will be interesting to see play out
  4. Too much uncertainty for us to have a definite plan of action. Just multiple contingencies for shit that is out of our control. In the mean time, operate as usual which is full and complete compliance and follow through with all of the entities rules we have to abide by. If something happens, we will have a contingency ready for it. We are set to handle this better than most, if not all, others in the market. Lot of stupid fucks running collectives who will FAFO
  5. I was Referring to the second tweet but looks like I misread lol my bad
  6. Turns out Name, Image and Likeness is actually Name, Image, Likeness and Gender. This ruling is fucking stupid and will assuredly be walked back with the new admin (Will the DOE even exist lol). They want to make a rule about universities doing equal distribution....sure whatever, I can understand the premise with Title IX as it stands. The truly ridiculous part is them saying that third parties have to provide equal NIL as well....dude, lol, fuck no! Why would a private business have to equally distribute, what equates to advertising dollars, to both genders in sports. "Sorry, you can't make your mustard with Bijan unless you make one for Madisen Skinner too", ya, sure Chief let me get right on that. The toothpaste is so far out of the tube and they have absolutely zero idea how to put it back
  7. If it could be lower it would have been This picture was absolutely taken at Pluckers. Not a chance in the world it was taken elsewhere
  8. Possibly, but its so outlandish that it almost has to be true
  9. Absolute legend. When the Brewers and Stros played in the NL central I would find myself listening to the Brewers broadcast. RIP
  10. Also the school that MM was considering is absolutely shocking and has no fucking business blowing (Seemingly) their entire NIL budget on a fucking corner. Their donors would have been much better off paying the HC buyout this year or saving it for next year
  11. Not at a Musk level though...at least that's what I gather from this last ten-page abortion I just read
  12. Don’t think @immamac or myself will ever have a better Burnt End than Gunnar. He was great and his family is fucking awesome! 🤘🏻
  13. Finished it and I enjoyed it. Not as good as the first obviously and don’t want to spoil shit but the way it ended was a crazy decision
  14. Transfer portal fanfiction was not on my bingo card but here we are and now I gotta know….do Rando and Payton end up together in the end? Does Payton get his happily ever after? Does Rando? In your brain, do they kiss? If you’re gonna start the story you gotta finish it (sidenote: Fuck you George RR Martin)
  15. I would imagine Pressly will be traded once the FA closer market gets sorted. That will open a significant chunk of change. Going into opening day with that outfield is untenable
  16. Santander is the next plan. 2 more OF, a RP and a back end starter
  17. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I like using the term "Big Dog" as a term of endearment for strangers or people whos name I forgot..I think the alignment chart looks something like this
  18. The portal needs to calm down, @Helobious only has 2 hands and a full focus on DTs. I’d say he can start using his mouth but then how would he let people know that he’s Hispanic? We may have to see how dexterous his feet are before all is said and done
  19. Counterpoint to Verdugo…have you ever seen his face? It is immensely punchable and I don’t think I can watch that for 162+
