I was in this fundraiser type thing where people donated items and it was $10 a spot.  There were like 80 items donated and then everyone randomized and you draft what you want starting with person in slot 1.  There was some good shit in there, and also some stuff that wasn't that great.  

I was right in the middle and had selection 41....i had the chance to get a Tyler White autographed jersey and passed on it lol.  Also there was an autographed ball of his in the items as well and that went like slot 78.

Here's the thing that makes me absolutely livid about this... Cheating happens all the time in baseball. At all levels. All levels. The MLB itself cheats the game by juicing the ball. Players juiced t

It's not the end, I agree. The Astros are still sacks of giant shit, though.  Shame on them.

Very sad to see that the Astros are basically dipshit cheaters from the top down. Hey, at least the Black Sox are happy that someone else is wearing their crown of infamy.

Good chance that our second pick, Ty Brown, wont sign and will go back to Vandy. The others will sign for sure, think the OF from Tennessee already has agreed

I love being wrong...he’s gonna sign

Yeah. Why did you think otherwise?  Next year’s draft will be shortened as well. Probably 10 rounds. If you’re a college player especially , you better take the money while you have a chance.

A dude “in the know” told me that it would be a surprise if he signed especially because they didn’t know if slot would be enough for their first pick. Was promised a chance to start at vandy (had been their closer) and thought he could go much higher with a good senior season. With you on the take the cash part for sure

This was his quote right after getting drafted

Least surprising story ever 

A federal judge on Friday said he would unseal a letter that allegedly shows that the Yankeesengaged in a “more serious, sign-stealing scheme” than Major League Baseball revealed publicly in 2017.

They wouldn't have used a pick on him this year if they weren't sure.  Can't afford it with the loss of picks.

The Castillo trade didn’t because Luhnow got fired. But he told me Dusty and Click were both getting hired, posted that here as well. Just passing along what I hear

For those who don’t venture into into the MLB thread.

so it's still the Astros' fault.  LOLz.  Baseball had such a history of labor harmony and the absence of bitchassery before 2017, right?  In the end, the haters still want more.

Play some games and they'll fucking get it.

I remember watching that  when I was a little kid but I didn't remember Dusty Baker as the last out or Joe West as 1b umpire.

JOE WEST!!!? Goddamn.

Also as dominant and untouchable as 7 career no-hitters will always be, he could have easily finished his career with double digit no no's. He lost five in the ninth inning.

Came across this today.  It makes sense with the game being against the Dodgers but I had never heard Vin Scully's call.
 



Thanks. I needed that.
everything about that is great.
-lol at Reggie Smith coming off the bench in the top of the 9th to face Nolan in that situation after not being able to start because of a batting practice ball bouncing up and hitting him in the mouth.
-man I miss the Dome.
-I love the orange hats.
-I love Ashby's orange catcher's gear
-lol at the 27th out being our current manager after grounding out to the 11th manager in team history
-lol at Joe West getting booed in '81 (after typical Joe West "look at me" shenanigans... giving the most emphatic palms down on a check swing you'll ever see).

12 career one hitters. Crazy 27 year career

HOUSTON -- Astros owner Jim Crane informed team employees via video conference call on Tuesday that there would be no furloughs and that club staff would continue to be paid through Oct. 31, with the highest-paid employees -- those making $100,000 or more -- taking pay cuts.
