You guys are gonna go nuts when you hear about vacation days.
Yeah. They have vacation days that they can use for waiting in lines and going to parades. Just ahead of a season where people burn lots of vacation days.
Doubtful.

I would accept breakfast tacos if you will deliver.

Yea and all of them think its worth waiting in line for 12 hours for an autograph. People are completely unable to recognize time value. You see it when anything scarce is up for grabs, especially if there's an opportunity to make a few bucks flipping it.
I agree with what you are saying...and it's not anything I would do, but then again, I spend a ****load of time at my deer lease that a whole lot of people would think is a waste of time. You spend a ****load of your time demanding all women wear burkas and finding something wrong with anything somebody else does, which others may view as a waste of time value.Sea Speed said:swimmerbabe11 said:

That's not the real trophy….just sayin
But I can judge others while doing something else. For instance, im waiting to start my duties as a chaperone for my oldest kids field trip today.

This is gold.
My god. Wgaf if people think waiting hours in a line to say hello to Tucker and have him sign something is worth it. Good grief
Volunteering at hole 11 today, right next to the trophy. Might have to sneak over when there's no line
And just to put all the why aren't you working peeps at ease, volunteering through my company. Out here with a couple VP's

What about all those people who spend hundreds/thousands of dollars and waste time at World Series game when they can save that money staying at home and learn French during commercial breaks?
People are so inefficient these days…..

James Click is gone
NM. That is surprising to me. Thought he would jump at the chance to stick around.htownag10 said:

Well he deserved more than the 1 year offer Crane was giving him. That's why he's gone
Someone must have been willing to snag him for a multi-year deal.

Assuming you think he was instrumental in the Astros success. I'm in the camp that believes he was not but I agree it's obviously an unconventional opinion and I guess we'll soon see.
This reminds me a lot of Hunsicker and Drayton. They both had the same goals but just couldn't get along.
Both sides and whoever can spin it however they want but it was really a mutual parting of the ways. They just didn't see eye to eye.
We still got a World Series out of it so that's all that matters in my eyes.

Yeah the one year offer was really a courtesy offer...ie "I am not going to outright fire you a week after the team won the World Series, but I am going to make you an offer that makes it clear that you are not part of my long term plans for management of the team." We can disagree about whether he deserved more. I can't point to any moves he made that were slam dunk wins for the Astros.htownag10 said:txags92 said:NM. That is surprising to me.

Pretty hard to question Jim Crane at this point I think.

I'd imagine I'd it were 2 years he would have stayed but also shows "hey you have 2 more years to prove yourself or you're out"
Scott powers let go too. Makes sense. He was brought in by Click
Crane already has someone in mind. Wasn't there a guy in Seattle who just resigned that Crane has a boner for?
Montero resigned for 3 years $34.5 million
I don't know what the hell happened on this thread, but I can confirm that he can be found working at the crack of dawn in the butthole of the world.schmellba99 said:I agree with what you are saying...and it's not anything I would do, but then again, I spend a ****load of time at my deer lease that a whole lot of people would think is a waste of time.

My kid got Tuckers Autograph at Fanfest back when he was a nobody, wait was 15 minutes.
Of course he also got Tyler White which is worth nothing.

Rizzo staying with the Yankees. Sound like Rosenthal making sheet up about the Astros again.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Where is Hensley slotted to play?
My guess is Hensley replaces Diaz as the utility infielder. I believe he's deemed a second baseman.
My guess is Yuli comes back on a one year deal and I'm good with that.
He's still good at contact and scooping balls at first.

Just looked it up. Hensley started 31 games at SS in Sugar Land last year.

Dusty loves him and he seems to have a good awareness of the strike zone at the MLB level so I bet he replaces Diaz since he's a free agent and really hasn't done much.
