Breggy marketing


My buddy's BBQ cook off team is sponsored by Breggy Bomb.. they won the ForthWorth NASCAR cook off 5-6 weeks ago during the race.. Bregman was fired up they won for his team! They did a promo at little Woodrow's downtown w him 4-5 weeks ago also ..

Update: my buddy said Bregman wanted them there today to cook after the parade but they did t make it into town.. not sure who did the cooking .. I think they sponsor more teams than his

Where the eff is Framber?


Stroking a half empty bottle of champagne, imagining the size of ring hes getting in 5 months.

Shohei is a much better candidate than Cease and I would have him either 2 or 3. Framber was very consistent but iMHO somewhere in the 4-6 range for votes.
Very consistent? Isn't that absolutely what you want from your top pitcher? What better statistic for defining the CY is there besides quality starts? Wins depend so much on how well the team behind you is hitting, while pitchers not throwing quality starts are not going to have as much chance at wins. Framber set the all time record for consecutive quality starts in a season. He deserved to be in the top 3.

Good stuff
Hope his bbq sauce is better than his salsa because the salsa is not good.

48' hours later and I'm still watching every Astro WS highlight, interview , and video that's been posted. I have a problem. And I don't care. Who else is with me?
Still doing the same and sad it's over but damn happy with how it ended!

For hoodie I went with this. I am taking a NYC trip with a lot of students over Christmas break so I'm excited to wear it around Times Square.

I think JV comes back and here's why
It'll be handled by Crane alone - Click or new GM won't have much of a say - Crane will tell them work around it.
Crane doesn't want to be the guy that let JV go like Nolan, especially with some big milestones that might be achieved and the WS window still open.
JV is chasing stats and can only get that with a small handful of teams that have a bullpen that won't let him down, offense that will support him, and stellar defense that will back him up.
He and his wife already have tons of money. You think he doesn't see George, Carlos, and especially Cole sitting at home bathing in dollars but thinking about what they gave up and think about that.


I'd love it if JV said "I need it put in the contract, no more B team lineups when I'm on the bump, I get full lineup control on the days I pitch."

I don't know about the actual sauce and spices .. I'm sure my buddy doest use them for their cook offs, they are professionals and don't tell people their secrets used for winning cook offs .. they may cook some briskets for the people at the cook offs though using his spices.. I'm pretty sure they do this .. just not on the stuff they turn it .. those guys have been perfecting there secrets for years

Going 6 IP with 3 or less ER means you can have a 4.50 ERA. This whole "quality start" deal is not exactly a super level stat. He was really consistent, ate innings and stayed in games. Dude was a workhorse. But in most measurable statistics he's not in the top guys.

Anyone heard anything from Reggie Jackson? As an Astro front office guy and World Series legend I was hoping we'd hear more from him - or I missed it.

After the no-hitter

"That's a big-time act there, coming off what we went through last night, in this town," Jackson told me after the historic outing, in a one-on-one conversation in a side hallway in the visitor's clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park. "You lose tonight and you kiss it goodbye. That's a two-game win tonight. Two games."

I want them again but I don't know man. Did you see their FA list -- it's like half their pitches, Turner and a few others? Going to be a very different team

If we're counting Euro-style where the ground floor is 0 and conveniently exclude the top, looks like there are 11 covered levels, which is one for each win in the 2022 edition of the MLB Posteason for the World Series Champion Houston Astros .

Well can we all agree that this is absolute bull*****



Leaving Framber off that list after literally setting the record for most consecutive quality starts would be like leaving Judge out of the MVP top 3.


Not even close to the same thing.

I think the AL awards are about as mysterious as a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie. Absolutely zero suspense here:

Rookie - Julio
CY - JV
MVP - Judge

The manager of the year between the leagues could not be more different. NL went chalk all the way and AL went just the opposite.

NL Roberts, Snitker, Showalter. All had the best teams all year long.

AL Tito, Servais, Hyde. All guys who were with good but not great teams. Only one really overachieved. One you could argue cratered when it mattered most and the other didn't so much manage his way to a division but watched the other teams crap the bed.

Wife and 2 daughters cannot get enough. What makes it even more hilarious is they use a lot of same actors over and over in completely different movies. I just sip my bourbon or eggnog and laugh.

I'm just curious if the Astros parade was as good as the Mariners…
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Passan says what happened today in Houston is not technically a parade but more of charade.

I only watch them for one Lacey Chabert. I would rule 1, but every damn pic I try to post is filtered out.

Didn't somebody here choose to watch House of Dragons over the Astros because it increased his odds of having some alone time after with his wife?

Wonder what increases the chances more... House of Dragons or Hallmark movie.

You know once you have ridden the same roller coaster thousands of times, you tend to just do what you want. I would have chosen the Astros. Ah, young love.

We went from the parade to Dogwood to Feelgood to Unicorn and back to Woodrow's, then biked through Downtown on the way home. Everyone united for the Stros. On a Monday. I love this city.

Yes. MVP, Cy Young, ROY and MOY are all regular season awards only.

... then by what criteria do they judge MOY?
Obviously not regular season wins. Maybe you need to manage the Bad News Bears to qualify?
