new giveaways, 2005 nl champ rings, 8/19 and 9/9

Kind of, yeah. But I'm thinking of it as more of a throw back jersey type thing. More I think about it, I wouldn't mind grabbing one of those...

I agree with this. If you got one of the 2017 rings, you will want one of these to complete your collection. For me, I never got a 2017 ring so I could care less about this ring.

Good article on Fangraphs about Sanchez's quick improvement

This image says all you really need to know about the approach and analytics of the Astros for pitchers:

Fake championship Astros rings...

Yeah, I'm not sure I want a ring to remind me of the World Series sweep...and if you want to get technical the most memorable event from those playoffs was Pujols' shot, which is still in orbit to this day.

But yes, if it puts more money towards Cole I'm all for it.

So is Jordon going to be good to go tomorrow? I missed the game yesterday but heard he took one off the knee. Was looking for an injury report in the recap but didn't mention it.

You are talking Yordan right? I'll assume so. I bet he gets a day off tomorrow. He had another AB after that foul ball to the knee so they thought he was good enough to bat at least. If he would have gotten on base I'm sure they would have pinch run for him

I see just 2 potential overlaps with A&M football. 10/19 vs Ole Miss and 10/26 vs Miss St

I think ALCS game 1 conflicts w/ Bama...his chart is just wrong as he has ALCS 1 and 2 on Sunday

To be fair, I think the bolder horizontal line separating dates is not in the right place. The one below 10/12 should be one line lower.

Nightengale's schedule shows ALCS game 1 on Sat and game 2 on Sun

Go ahead and ask off now for Oct. 4.

My dad wants to drive up for the game tomorrow. In your experience is it better to buy tickets right now (stubhub, Ticketmaster etc.) or wait until close to game time? He wants good seats in one of lower sections between the dugouts.

Yankees next 12 v orioles & blue jays

---

Just at a quick glance, the Yanks have a very easy next 12 but then their schedule evens back out. I feel like ours is just as easy as anyone's from here on out. Might be a race to 110 with all the bottom dwellers in the AL, plus keeping up with the Dodgers.

I agree about overall schedules. Think ours is better.

But 110 is too ambitious (Seattle had 80 win this time of years in 2001). Race for 103 more likely.

Last year's tv playoff schedule for reference. Seems like Friday the 4th and Monday the 7th will likely be day games for Houston.

Good call

It probably is, as the race starts to settle, teams might be content with throwing a game or two to start resting for the playoffs as well as injuries and slumps. But we are currently on pace for 105 as is and we have the 4th easiest schedule to finish off the season (Not to mention our health and additions). Twins have the 2nd easiest, Yankees have the 5th, and LAD has the 11th. Albeit thats not a departure for the Twins from what they have played and is actually slightly tougher for the Yankees.

Orders are starting to be run. I got a hold of some black tumblers if anyone would rather black instead of gray. Just shoot me an email.
