Good job spreading the money some

One can only wonder how Jon Heyman will take offense to that

Why do we have to start off the season AT Texas? Playing a 4 game series against a dumpy team in a dumpy park. I guess Texas will just get their beating early this year...


Agreed. It's ridiculous. The WS champs should always start at home. I know the schedules are made in advance, but MLB just needs to schedule division games for the first series with the flexibility to flip two of them if need be (the NL and AL champs if they are scheduled to start on the road).

Any of y'all out at Minute Maid tonight at midnight?

I hope not. Personally I feel that stuff with gold looks hideous. So to go shopping for it at midnight would be insane.

I heard the line was insane. Heard that by midnight it was wrapped from the doors at Union Station all the way around homeplate area to the diamond club parking lot.

That is absurd. I want a hat with the gold but I can wait. They will be selling them at every home game all season.

I broke down and got an Altuve jersey and the gold hat. Shipping was free.

Hope they are banking from this. Means more $$ for big contracts

I also like that this is the first one of the group that Boras has. I think starting off on the right foot with him is a huge win for the team.

Not that this guarantees anything with the others but I think it's good news that the organization and Boras have a seemingly good working relationship.

Yep, life is good for Mr. Altuve.

With the caveat that it is only spring, Correa has 0 XBH thus far.


Welp he's got a HR & a double through 6 innings today

These were an incentive for some considering how quickly they ran out:



The patches were "free" but required purchasing a gold hat and jersey.

No way. Do you have any idea how much that would inconvenience the Rangers season ticket holders

Tim Kurkjian tells the story that on the next flight, Brad Ausmus got on the plane PA system and said, "Attention passengers, if you look out the left windows you can see Albert Pujols' ball still travelling."

Some may already know the story, but I thought that was hilarious.

I've heard that before, and quite honestly, it's probably what the team needed given what just happened. Turned it into a joke and had them laughing to loosen up before going into St. Louis and getting Roy a new John Deere.
