If we don't go 6-0 the next 6 I am going to be highly disappointed. I guess I could live with 5-1 since its baseball and some dumb shit will prob happen.....anything else is a fucking disaster

Back to 10+ runs today?

We've only scored 10 once against the. And I want to say only 6 once against them. Been 5 or less all year long it seems like.  

Maldy and Dubon personal catcher and CF on JV day.  Maybe singleton too if we are lucky?

Mets hired Stearns

[Gourmand 7774]

David Stearns officially joining the Mets as president of operations

[WBT 20652]

f the Mets

That's probably bad news for the rest of the NL though

meh, it takes time to build it right. Mets owner thinks you can buy it and doesn’t have patience. Don’t they lose high draft picks for this season’s payroll ?

It would be neat if they scored a run tonight.

Closest we’re gonna get with JV two personal choices

Yep.  Chas is a big enough boy today I guess. Or something like that.  Fucker better pull Moldy if we are down after JV goes out.  It's so dumb.  And PH uncle mike for Dubon if need be as well.  

[runthebone 8028]

You thought baseball teams have 9 players!  Ha!  The Astros roll with 7!

Yeah, we have better on the bench, but Dubon is a lot better than what other teams run out there in the 8-hole.  I ain't mad at it.  Maldy's another story altogether. 

[UTexasFight 9523]

Brantley played 3 in a row for the first time yesterday so not surprised to see him out.

hopefully by end of season we’ll see him up to 4-5 starts per week if the bat keeps performing

Hopefully not at the expense of Chas.  It really shouldn't be.  Alas.

SM: We know that baseball is a business. Do you think you'll spend the rest of your career with the Astros?

JA: I always say that I love Houston and the people here. This is the only team I've played for. We have one more year (on my contract). We'll see what happens.

SM: Have the Astros approached you about a new contract? Have you started talking to them?

JA: No

Yep, Dusty giving off some Tom Herman vibes. Up for big games, can’t focus on crappy opponents.

If I’m being honest JV is no longer good enough for personal catcher. 

[Scraps 13570]

Astros gonna score 12 tonight so it doesn't even matter

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Even a team as bad as the A's can hit 94 mph fastballs thrown down the pipe. But let's keep throwing them, just to make sure. 

[elfenix 34331]

They'll never expect a bunt

[David Dennison 18944]

I don't get it.

[Scraps 13570]

Damn i wish someone would do that in extra innings

[Rimbo 26050]

what the actual fucklord is going on with this team

[elfenix 34331]

what the actual fucklord is going on with this team

We don't play the catcher who is good at baseball because reasons and we don't bat the centerfielder who is good at baseball ahead of the first baseman who is not for the same reasons
