The Jomboy crew have begrudgingly praised the Astros for years. If you can put aside your hatred from their trash can and buzzer analysis, their Talkin Baseball podcast is really good. They are pretty impartial on it, saving their Yankee love for the Talkin Yanks podcast.

I'll take about 55 of these this year

Here for Yordan bombs

[tx 3 putt 78676]

With the early injuries, Abreu is going to step up and fully embrace playing for a ring this season

it's their frustration leaking out during their astros takes that amplifies the enjoyment of it for me.

Julks and Diaz are both candidates for the "Where the fuck do the Astros keep getting these players" award.

We got Diaz for Straw b/c we were willing to take Maton off their hands.  They said- for getting rid of this fuck we will go ahead and give you an even better prospect- since he's a net negative. That's the way @LCHorntold me the story anyway.

Pull out the candy, cause it's time to shine

Down South, we just balling mayn
Steady sliding on chrome, in the turning lane

Only putt would pregame the day before a game and then not pregame the day of the actual game

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Lets keep this historic opening day win streak going tomorrow. We've won like 1000 opening days in a row

[Planet Houston 4950]

I’ll be there. We will win. It’s science.

Glad to be back for another season! Haven’t been on the board much this off season. My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer right after the World Series and passed away a couple weeks ago. My aunt, her sister, fell and hit her head a couple days after she passed and has been in the hospital in Houston with bleeding in her skull. My uncle died few years ago and they could not have children so I’m taking care of her too so to say that the Astros will be an almost daily welcome distraction is an understatement. I’m ready for the games, the cheers, the bitching and everything else you surly SOBs bring to this board. Let’s go! #ReadytoReign

Go Astros!  Keep owning the Yankees and win another Championship in 2023.

[HtownHorn 15234]

So happy for Julks, hometown kid playing for the Astros. I can only imagine him going to games as a kid watching late career Biggio and Bagwell and saying I will be out there one day. This is why we all love this sport so much. The dreams of youth and the relationships built between a father and son.

Have the 40 man roster moves been made ?

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

It will be another successful year because the Old Man is still kicking it.  Lifetime 'Stros fan--I bought him one of those MM WS bricks. 

'Stros know what they gotta do.

Enjoy the ride.

Opening Day!

[n64ra 1150]

It's finally here! Repeat boys!!

[Gourmand 7778]

Bovada has Kyle Tucker vs Ohtani and Tucker vs Devers for most regular season HRs. Both lines at -120 for all players. Who ya got?

I'm thinking Ohtani over Tucker but Tucker over Devers. 

[tx 3 putt 78676]

I’m already fighting back tears ! 
 

Tomorrow’s ring ceremony will be even tougher

Sorry to hear all this. Hang in there and enjoy the Stros in your downtime. 

Since we are sharing with our Astros family, I’ll share that this will be the first season of my life without my dad. He passed away on New Year’s Eve. I got to take him to a WS game last year, and we celebrated a lot together. Let’s win another one so I can pour one out for him in November.

Sorry to hear @Planet Houston . I'd give anything to have my dad, grandfather's here to celebrate the Astros

I know it’s a long shot, but I have four for opening day and have a conflict. Trying to get what I paid for them from the Astros. $150 each
