It is funny that we have JV, Cole and Greinke... and there's three recent Astros who will likely be wild card/game 1 starters for their new respective teams (Fiers, Morton and Keuchel).

The only way to settle the Cy Young and MVP controversies is to award them both to Jeff Luhnow!

You know dang well he got full price on all those mattresses because of the "free" clause. The other side of the coin is the additional sales he made by getting people in the door with the promotion. How many people bought a bed to go along with their mattress, or a couch, dining room set, etc. etc?

So even if he sold $10MM in matresses, if the 80% markup is true then he is only out $2MM in inventory.


Yea there is a reason he keeps doing these deals

He ain't in the losing money business

I think we need cover comparisons to see who did it best...

Have the A's still not announced who is starting tomorrow?

I'm hoping it's Manaea so we get Fiers on Friday.

If you quote it, you can see.

Both work though.

Oakland has beaten us 6 of the last 8, would prefer Tampa

and we still won the season series against them because we dominated them early. We can beat either of those teams in 3 games. It doesn't matter who wins the wild card in my opinion

And they can beat us. A best of 3 series is a little bit of a crapshoot.

I still rather see OAK.

If it's TB we need to win the first two since we're historically abysmal at the Trop. I really don't wanna get stuck having to win there.

Our guys rake in OAK.

I wouldn't put that much stock into how we play at Trop. We only played 4 games there and saw Morton, Snell, & Glasnow.

I want the As

Not to mention the fact that Monday/Tuesday games more likely to be evening games

Tamps, easy call IMHO. Tampa started the season hot and got worse as the season went along and they are using their best pitcher tomorrow in CFM. The A's have been hot as hell the last half of the season and record wise have been the best team in the AL. Their pen is basically a bunch of closers who they throw based on who is hottest. And Olsen and Chapman can win games on their own.

When the news broke, everyone was ecstatic," says Verlander. "It was like, Wow. We're doing this. We're going for this thing. The whole clubhouse was so jacked up."


Us too Justin, us too

Reading that quote from him gave me chills.

Bregxit, if that's the way it played out that would be great.

Many times in years gone by I watched the Stros loose out to the Braves

Those were the NL days. We have been reincarnated. Reinvigorated! Rebuilt! Bigger...stronger...faster...a machine without remorse designed to crush all who come for us!

Why change now? Not hassling you. Just curious.

STL would be the team I am least worried about in all of the postseason.

Their best hitter this year (Tommy Edman) has a wRC+ of 123. He would rank 8th just ahead of Diaz, but behind Yuli.

We got some decent revenge on them in 04 & 05. I don't have any animosity towards their current team. I actually like some of their core players.
