  1. I am disappointed I did not get more than 1 person named Anthony in the draft.
  2. Emmer seems like the most sensible option you're going to get out of this Republican shitshow, why not give him the Dems votes and get this shit over with? I know it's fun to watch from the sidelines, but is there any real gain to having this stalemate continue? What's the benefit of keeping this going?
  3. I don't have an article about it, I just follow Cleveland and have been seeing what they are doing. They did a second round interview with Vogt today, who was also considered for the Giants job, but that was just filled by the Padres manager Bob Melvin.
  4. The Guardians are supposedly leaning towards hiring Stephen Vogt from the Mariners as their new manager. They did also want to interview the Astros hitting coach Troy Snitker too. If Terry Francona isn't actually retiring from managing, the Astros should really push to sign him. He's a vet with tons of experience, well respected, and would be a great leader for a veteran clubhouse for a few years. He's 64 right now, and has had some health issues recently that caused him to miss the 2020 season with Cleveland, but he would be a good fit. I think this club needs a vet to finish off this championship window for the next few years, rather than going with a brand new guy who has never run a team before. It's not the time to give a guy a chance to learn it on the job, get someone smart and well respected to right the ship and win one more ring.
  5. SI had an article about Who could be the Giants next manager. Some interesting background on these guys that could be interviewed by the Astros. https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/news/sf-giants-candidates-replace-gabe-kapler-manager-bob-melvin-joe-espada
  6. If true, it will be totally worth it. His replacement can't be nearly as bad.
  7. Yeah well this douchebag used to own your team: but the problem is Texas has a lot of shitty politicians...
  8. They should offer him 6/120 right now, and he might just take it because he's so mopey, sad and depressed about something. Dude looks like he's be listening to My Chemical Romance the whole postseason.
  9. Need a smart President of Baseball Operations to take over for Crane, and let him take a backseat in the planning and strategy.
  10. Ah, we'll get 'em next year. It sucks, but that's baseball.
  11. It will be fitting if the season ends with Tucker looking lost on a strikeout.
  12. Padding those all time postseason HR stats lol
  13. Alright, 9 run inning here we come...
  14. You have to go Diaz here, it's the last game of the season, can't hold anything back!!! C'mon man
  15. At the trade deadline we got Verlander and Graveman, and they got Scherzer and Montgomery, and that has made all the difference.
  16. As dumb as that saying is, it does feel that way, but a lot of it is self-inflicted wounds. Not saying Astros win the series if things are managed differently, but they certainly would have had a better chance.
  17. I really can't imagine watching those first 3 at-bats this inning and not getting someone warmed up in the pen. How many guys need to reach in a game 7 before you get someone warming up? Just maddening how Dusty does things.
  18. Wow, no effort to get to that ball and throw home? Just giving up now.
  19. Ouch, that one hurts. Gonna be tough to come back from this.
  20. France does walk a lot of guys, not sure what the plan is here, but I can't see him coming out for the 5th if he even makes it through the 4th.
  21. I think both sides are just hoping the opposing pitcher throws out some meatballs for them to smack. Who's gonna fuck up first tonight?
  22. Yordan is due for a homer. Need a few guys to get it going early and get the house rocking after last night. 4 Hours to go...
