Great family too. Im sure the joy they felt in this moment was immense.

I love stories of guys realizing their dreams thru hard work and perseverance. I hope he sticks around for 5-7 years at this point.

Pretty crazy how hit and miss MLB drafts are. In the 2013 first round that Appel was the #1 pick, only 3 guys out of 27 - Tim Anderson, Kris Bryant, and Austin Meadows - have even made the All-Star team.

The stud of the draft was Aaron Judge, a compensatory round pick at #27.

The real story here is that the Astros were going to take Appel #1 in the 2012 draft, but the scuttlebutt was that he rejected their offer of a $6 million signing bonus.

So they had to settle for Carlos Correa instead. Long story short, Appel being greedy (or at least demanding more money) got the Astros Correa.

Obviously we landed on the better side of that getting Carlos.

if my kids were around, I'd say how deplorable this behavior is, but they are not. Let him have it.

A real pinnacle of my life as a sports fan came in 1997 when my brother and I yelled at Shawn Kemp so much during a Rockets-Sonics game that he pointed at us and yelled that we should fornicate ourselves.

Haha! 1/2 joking on my end. I keep it clean and clever, all in good fun. I had a similar story, sitting on the floor for a suns game and jawing at Bo Outlaw. I was just a youngster but he made his disapproval known.

And we were able to trade Appel for Ken Giles, so we had that going for us too.

It's entirely likely I would have never thought about Bo Outlaw again in my entire life if it wasn't for this post.

1st DRS - drives to the right side?
1st SB - stolen bases!
3rd RBI - runs batted in!
3rd WPA - watching Paul Atreides?

Ready for a great homestand. Need to take care of business with these struggling teams.

New York trip was awesome. Most everyone was nice and interactive. A few loudmouths, but it wouldn't be NYC without that. The Mets fans didn't have much energy in booing the Astros. A bit for Altuve and Bregman, but it really died off after each announcement at the plate. Nobody hates the Astros like Yankee fans, and it was glorious to see. Let's give them more reason today.

Tomorrow's lineup should look interesting with 3/9 of our starters out.

Altuve 2B
Tucker RF
Bregman 3B
Yuli 1B
Diaz LF
Meyers CF
Dubon SS
Matijevic DH
Maldy C


I bet it goes more like
Altuve
Diaz
Tucker
Bregman
Yuli
Dubon
Matijevic
Meyers
Maldonado


Dang, almost had it. I switched Dubon and Matijevic before I posted.

If Diaz and Dubon collide today, Dusty's going to have to activate himself and Gary Pettis.

Didn't Roy Oswalt play outfield in a really long extra inning game or something?

Edit: yeah, he did:

Roy O had to play left field for the Phillies against the Astros about a month after the trade when Ryan Howard got ejected. He records a put out against what seems to be Jason Castro.




I remember as a teenager when Fernando Valenzuela had to play first base for the Dodgers when they played the Astros in a 22-inning game. They had to move Eddie Murray to third because Jeff Hamilton ended up pitching.

Brief YouTube clip of it. If you watch the slo-mo replay, you can see Billy D was ready to wreck shop on that punk-ass Sciosia at the plate, but the throw was wild.

That game had it all. The Dodgers used 9 pitchers, including Hershiser throwing 7 scoreless innings of relief, and John Shelby going 0 for 10 at the plate. Jim Clancy, my least favorite Astro of all-time, got the unlikely win for the good guys.
