Basically 5 minutes of action with everything ending up where it began!

I just got my tickets for Opening Day on Thursday in Oakland. I live in the Bay Area and always see 5-10 Astros/A's games a season.

I am used to razzing from home fans and usually welcome it. I have traveled alone to Fenway, Yankee Stadium, and Dodger Stadium for playoff games so I feel like I have seen and heard kind of everything.

However, I can't help but feel a little foreboding about being in the stadium environment wearing Astros stuff. I don't expect anyone to hurt me or anything, but I also wonder how far people are going to take their taunting this being the first game back and everything.

I will probably be ready to deflect people with self (Astros)-deprecating responses.

Any thoughts, advice, or comebacks?

Just tell them

Look...The Astros stole some signs. Mike Fires steals teenagers virginities. What's worse?

My father, an attorney, always told me to never ask a question when you don't know how they'll answer. In Oakland, that may be sage advise.

Just ask them how much they enjoyed finally winning the division last year only to be sent home at the hands of the Daddy Astros.

I want de la Cruz to shine just so I can make lots of Coco references this year.

Tell them that the jerk store called, and it's running out of them.

Some defensive gems for McCormick from the minors.

Yea, laughter followed by "We're better than you." That about sums up the A's.

This is a bit of a surprise.

Here is the source tweet. Isn't this essentially what Diaz does? Seems like someone is expendable.

They figure go ahead and add him now and he'll be ready to go when Diaz has his annual 4 month rehab tweaked hammy next week.

I am really confused here. They could have gotten vaccinated a couple of weeks ago. Since everyone reacts differently to the shot why would you take a chance on putting someone down for a couple of days right before opening day?

I wonder if any are allowed to politely decline

not sure the Astros policy with this, but FWIW one of my best friends who plays for one of our biggest rivals mentioned to me that maybe three dudes on their team has gotten the vaccine. The rest declined....

Not sure if the Astros are forcing them to get it or what?

I am sure it is voluntary, but I agree it should have been done during Spring Training. Hopefully they can just get the J&J and be done with it....

Because they just opened it up to everyone. Before you would have needed to be higher risk. Maybe they didn't want to base en as getting special treatment.
