And if we don't sign Springer, we get nothing for him.

We were never going to trade Springer this year. On August 31, we were only 2,5 games behind Oakland and pretty locked in to the playoffs.

[David Dennison 18,661]

So the 2022 opening day roster could theoretically include only two people from the championship team. Anyone else besides Altuve and Bregman locked up?

Pretty sad. It already feels like the end of an era. Such a fun, great run, even with all of the cheating bullshit.  Memories of a lifetime.

All of that said, I think Click can put together teams that will compete for playoff spots and it has been proven anyone can win the World Series if they make the playoffs (side note, I still hate the idea of expanded playoffs).

I figured he would wait and see where we are and I’m sure he was like “fuck this shit”. I can’t imagine just now doctors are determining he needs TJ. But I’m no doctor so maybe they do wait 6 weeks.

what a fuck.

Did you even read his statement before posting this nonsense?

[Rockethorn1978 6,061]

Do you believe everything that’s posted?

[runthebone 7,932]

Why would he lie? 

[Scraps 13,542]

Fucking Calhoun

[Guadaloopy 10,926]

If Bregs has his head on, he’s on first.  Feels like this team has given up.   

[Scraps 13,542]

The springer/altuve fc's tell me they haven't given up......they just suck

I pretty much knew we were in 'em 2015-2019.

2020 has been bullshit on top of cold reality.

Hey... at least we didn’t go into a flat spin after winning like the Red Sox or the Nats.  

[DaysOff 7,853]

So this is more like an umpowered glide?

“I can’t see too good. Is that...5 scoreless innings from the bullpen tonight?”

 

[runthebone 7,932]

All these Astrodome games, man

[Wulaw Horn 18,983]

I mean, yeah this season has sucked. 
but, whether we’d have won the division or been like this shitty season has been we’d still be playing the A’s best 2 out of 3. The record is cleared to zero. It’s all the same. It’s random. Best 2 out of 3. Everyone is equal. 

[Scraps 13,542]

Except we suck

[runthebone 7,932]

As long as we find a way to take out Fiers before we get eliminated...

Sure. We’ve sucked this year. But it’s baseball. Anything can happen in a 3 game series. There’s nothing that says there needs to be any rhyme or reason to it is my point.

I love a strike him out, throw him out DP

Sparks and Ford are killing it today 

[WBT 20,422]

George is getting upset!!

If this is his last home game, an inside the park homer is a pretty cool way to go out.

even better

[elfenix 34,172]

springer outside the park dinger!

[Guadaloopy 10,926]

I absolutely HATE that this is probably George’s last game as an Astro at MMP.  
 

[Guadaloopy 10,926]

That’ll work, Correa.  

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Over .500!

[elfenix 34,172]

astros win!

[WBT 20,422]

Astros win, series win!

We end up 20-8 at home but we've just been godawful on the road.

[Guadaloopy 10,926]

[runthebone 7,932]

We used to be so run differential.

[Ichabod 184]

Finally saw my cut out today. Mission accomplished! 

[Jshep34 2,304]

Thanks for the memories George. Remember being at his debut at mmp when they misspelled his name and first hit at mmp was a slow roller down 3rd base line.

Me too. That might have been my only game of the year. Or maybe 1 of 2. But we heard he got the call and we were like- gotta go. 
he had multiple chances to be a hero and didn’t as I recall. Was waiting for the big stage for that as the MVP. 

[runthebone 7,932]

You guys are acting like the entire season is over.  We have been saving our road wins for the playoffs!

 

 

 

 

 

I mean, it could happen.

The season at MMP is over.  That always makes me a little sad.  

[Guadaloopy 10,926]

Watching the end of the Padres/M’s game which reminds me that I hate Kyle Seager’s face.  

[Guadaloopy 10,926]

Magic number 3.  Just finish at .500 and guaranteed in.

At least we got a championship before the rebuild. Lots of "what ifs" like 2019 but at least we finally got our chip in 2017

lol.
