You have no major plans to spend decent new money this year with a payroll approaching 110 M. Your young core is not all that good. Your best player will be 39 and either busted for roids and start to decline like all aging players do. You have one of the worst rotations in baseball. You have no bullpen. Your farm system is bottom 10 in the league even though you were sellers at the deadline. This is all done by the architect that is Jon Daniels. Things will not be significantly better next year or the one after that or the several after that. You're stuck in 83 wins or fewer zone unless you spend like NY & LA or rebuild.Ag2012 said:Extending the winningest GM in franchise history who turned a garbage team into a back-to-back pennant winner, and one of the winningest GMs in baseball over the past decade.

Good news for the Astros!!
Lock. His. Ass. Up.Quote:
The Rangers will sit down with general manager Jon Daniels to discuss a contract extension in the near future, reports Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. Talks could begin prior to Thanksgiving, according to Grant, who suggests that the team intends ultimately intends to come to an agreement with Daniels on a new contract. Daniels' current three-year deal expires after the 2018 season.
I'm sure most of the lifelong Astros fans here were huge fans during this time.friscodick said:
Guys, it's a super easy solution, they just need to lose 100 games for a few years and with all the high picks they will surely win a World Series within 2-3 years. I was told by ranger fans it was that easy and that the Astros shouldn't enjoy their championship because who wants to endure a few years of being terrible.

Am I doing that right? Y'all have given the Rangers fans hell for being "Fans since 2010."
Been watching the Stros since the late 70's and we had plenty of lean years and during those stretches you look for signs of hope, young stars emerging but it's certainly not as fun as watching them win.Lt.

I remember making the trip to Arlington in 2013 decked out in all of my Astros gear... I got laughed at and made fun of the entire game. I'd love to see those Rangers fans next season when I make the trip for opening weekend.Lt.

Didn't have the channel they were on with the CSN thing, but went to a few games each season and always kept up with the score. You see, us Houston fans have loved this team since we were kids. Many Ranger fans discovered they had another sports team in the Metroplex around 2009 or so.Ag_07 said:Lt. Joe Bookman said:

Actually yes...Most of us here were around during those times.
This is exactly the post I was looking for.aTm2004 said:Didn't have the channel they were on with the CSN thing, but went to a few games each season and always kept up with the score.

Prime example of this is my best friend, who is from Dallas. Wore Astros gear during college, but became a huge Rangers fan around that time. He'd come down to visit, and had to watch the game. This season, he couldn't tell you if they were even playing that day or not.

If Jose Altuve had a brother named Jose Altuve who'd jacked off another dude in the locker room, yal wouldn't even talk about anything else.
Also, if Jose Altuve's brother, Jose Altuve, did that. He'd be way better at it then Rougned's brother, Rougned.
