I'm on Team Springer with this
Quote:
Despite the rapidly increasing appeal, there is discord even in the Astros' clubhouse. Springer considers it "insulting" to compare the sports video games he plays with "Clash."
"I call it 'Dorks,' " Springer said.
"George has never played it," Marisnick chimed in. "He's ignorant."
"I watched them play it for three years," Springer retorted. "I'm good."
This is the Astros locker room:

Remember when we said both Jake and Marwin would slow down because there's no way they could keep up their pace?

Marco Duarte? The guy is pretty much non-existent now.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. Says every rangers fan in existence.

Seriously though. That is why this team is up 9 games on the entire league. It's hitting basically its entire lineup 20-30% above league average of all players.

That doesn't exactly do much for me. One young erratic arm for another. Hopefully he won't have anything to do but pitch in meaningless innings. The good kind of meaningless innings.

Hmmm...

Quote:
In a perfect worldand in an indication of how high they're shootingthe Astros would love to add Mets ace Jacob deGrom, but there is no indication New York would even consider moving their one reliable starter who still has three years of arbitration control. The usual rumored pitchers for saleand it's all rumors; substantive talks don't really take place until next monthall give Houston pause.

That's from an SI piece by Verducci. It's also a pretty good read about some of Lunhow's past trades.

I think Degrom would be a pretty nice add. With the Mets needing bats we may get away with keeping Martes.

I didn't realize DeGrom was 29 years old

Having his worst year, but having a better year than everyone we have been rumored in

K-Rod released. He usually does well with a new team. Worth a shot?

Is Seattle really all that beautiful? I mean can they match the heat and humidity of our hometown? I don't think so.

FWIW I was stationed at Ft Lewis (about an hour South of Seattle). I was pissed when I was told in basic I was going there, but the PNW grew on me. Summers were gorgeous, no rain, 90 degrees and no humidity. Yes please. We went to Ft Polk in LA for a month of training before a deployment in June/July 2009 and we were freaking sucking. Left 75 degrees no humid for 98 degrees and like 90 percent humidity. Dudes were dropping left and right.

Dude thank you for serving. Really. Thank you very much. You are a better man than me.
But give me that dripping humidity over the calm blowing winds of the west coast or the fresh spring snow of the Rockies or the March showers of the northwest anyday.
