Whoever designed those hats should be fired yesterday.

I don’t care for them, most people are buying to resell online 

[TonyTexas 10482]

Make your travel plans. 2024 schedule. Open at home with 4 game series with the Yankees.

Cool to have video evidence of area dumbasses.


I actually work with one of those dudes

yeah right? what the fuck y'all lining up for in the heat outside MMPUS when the Stros are playing in LA tomorrow night?

[Scraps 13542]

Damn Cubs series in middle of week in April. That hurts how many people I was going to get to go to that.

Weather should be nice though.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Here’s an at-a-glance snapshot

 

[tx 3 putt 76370]

See you boys at wrigley …

it’ll be chilly and no ivy on the wall 

[Scraps 13542]

Yes which is better than hot as fuck.

[tx 3 putt 76370]

Four starts for urquidy, probably two in sugarland and two in CC 

[TonyTexas 10482]

@Scraps To put a pin in our discussion last week about our geographic rival, we play a home/away with the Rockies again next year and have 3 games at home vs Arizona. So it appears the alternating rivals thing has gone away.

Yeah i had no clue what it was going to do moving forward with the way the schedule is now.

hopefully they make them run the bases, maybe a few times

[TonyTexas 10482]

Is that the entire offensive and defensive lines for the Texans?

[UTexasFight 9380]

Yeah wish the cubs were a few weeks later …and/or not right before the Mexico City trip

Had hoped to do both.

wrigley and Baltimore are early front runners for my two road trips 

I really want to do Toronto but we always seem to play them at the beginning of the month which is challenging for my work. 
Plus it seems un-American to make a team play in a different country on the 4th.

Reading the schedule during the season is unamerican

Over/under Monday morning when we hear the words "shut down" and/or "discomfort" for at least one of them.

that's reserved for Brantley

[kevwun 15647]

They make up new words for Brantley because can't swing a bat without shoulder pain would be too obvious.

At first I was like, "cool, Julks chose the Oiler hat", and then I remembered the Oilers were never in Houston during his lifetime.

Wouldn't be shocked to see the Orioles pass us by the end of the decade.  Bump this window back to 2009 and the Angels jump all the way into the top 5 with one player.

last 5 WS champs ...

Im curious how Dana is going to trade rape the White Sox for Giolito and Luis Robert

I’ve seen some proposed trades that we send pena to the angels. I wouldn’t be against it, if they trade pena that team is an instant WS favorite

nah man it's the Braves who are going to be our dynastic contenders. The unsung savant of the Luhnow era was not Mejdal or Elias, it was Mike Fast. He's had his fingerprints all over both the Astros (2012-2018) and the Braves (2018-current). I wish Crane would bring him back but it feels like some bridges were burned in one direction or another. 

[tx 3 putt 76370]

the price goes up ...
