Mrs. Marvin is already dressed and ready for tomorrow night. I think she's going with a throwback hat to pay the Phillies back for that last playoff series.
A year earlier than that, but speaking of throwbacks…

Did he hand the ball to Orbit and instruct him to throw it back at your head?Marvin said:The Porkchop Express said:I might have to bust out my picture of me at 18 throwing out the first pitch to Scott Servais.Marvin said:

Did he whine and ask for it to be overturned?
He yelled "Hurry up!" at me while I was walking out to the mound. He was already a D8bag at age 24 apparently. He didn't even catch the game, fellow legend Eddie Taubensee got the call. Highlight of the evening was hearing Mark Portugal call Gary Carter a p&ssy for whining about not getting enough swings in batting practice before the game.Marvin said:The Porkchop Express said:I might have to bust out my picture of me at 18 throwing out the first pitch to Scott Servais.Marvin said:

Terry Puhl will throw out the first pitch before Game 1. Craig Biggio will throw it to Jeff Bagwell before Game 2

hot take: roger clemens is in no way, shape, or form an Astros legend.
As a professional writer, he should be more clear in his tweets.texasaggie2015 said:
That doesn't mean Chandler asked the question. He's said that before. He means JV was asked, not that he specifically asked him.

Yordan just casually bit a ball right handed in BP that probably would have been gone if he pulled it instead of hitting it to center. Now he’s crushing them over the fence left handed. He’s ready.

Is that something he normally does? I'd rather him not be doing trick shots before the world series...don't want him to hurt himself.texasaggie2015 said:Yordan just casually bit a ball right handed in BP that probably would have been gone if he pulled it instead of hitting it to center.

Play 4 or more years in Houston and add about ~12 to his career WAR. That is probably when you start entertaining it.CoachRTM said:

What realistically needs to happen for Verlander to get enshrined in an Astros cap? Especially if we finish off this year with a Championship and he wins another Cy Young.
Tigers : (2005 - 2017)
2006 - Rookie of the Year
2007 - First no hitter
2011 - Second no hitter, unanimous Cy Young winner, AL MVP
2012 - Cy Young runner up / World Series appearance (loss)
2016 - Cy Young runner up, 2,000 strikeouts
(6x All Star)
Astros : (2017 - 2022)
2017 - World Series champion, ALCS MVP
2018 - Cy Young runner up
2019 - Third no hitter / World Series appearance/ Cy Young winner
20/21 - injured
2022 - Probably Cy Young winner / World Series appearance/champion (tbd)
(3x All Star)
I mean, I think it's still tilted in the Tigers favor, but 2 World Series championships in the Astros favor isn't something to look past. 1 Cy Young/MVP in Detroit is probably equitable to the 2 Cy Youngs he will probably have as an Astro.
He wants to play till he's 45...he does it and does it in a fashion similar to Nollie I can't see him retiring in a Tiger jersey. That would give him roughly the same amount of years here that he had there (hopefully with a crapload of hardware).CoachRTM said:

The Astros could become the first team to run the table in the postseason and win a World Series since the 1976 Reds. I spoke to Johnny Bench and Marty Brennaman about that club and to some Astros who are trying for four more wins. https://t.co/lFFAak5IkM

To be fair, it *is* possible for a journalist to cover a team without inserting themselves in the story (e.g.: McTaggart at mlb.com). Something Chandler has yet to learn.texasaggie2015 said:Just clearing up any confusion. Your obsessive hate of the dude is kinda weird if you ask me.cone said:

I hated that he didn't show up on days he wasn't starting. I am sure that was in his contract, but what an anti-team, all-me, move. I think about that every time I see JV in the dugout on his "off days".Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:
