Yes.. Wearing a Astros hat.
We still had no idea what was going on with this post. Guessing you're talking about work zoom/teams calls and you're wearing the hat?
Is parking at Toyota Center an option? Heading down there in about 20 mins.

Someone has lost their damn mind.
Im not knocking your opinion, but what could you possibly be basing your opinion on to say gilbert is better than Chas?
Dude woke up this morning and though "you know what this parade is missing; my pontoon boat…"
Anyone have any badass pictures from game 6 for a computer background?

Bogaerts, Correa, deGrom, Rodon officially opt out @MLBPA_News announces

With how awful Mancini did since being traded, is there any thought that he might want to stay 1 more year for the $10M mutual option? He could increase his next contract value especially if he is the primary 1B here.
you want more of that?bearkatag15 said:

Its legit
I bought mine from there navigating from the main chron website
I could be wrong, but are we sure those are the posters and not just copies of the papers? $10/$30 doesn't seen like a lot for 3 glossy posters. I seem to remember 2017's being a lot more expensive (and not available right away).
Also, it's under "Astros Packages" not "Posters"

It's a possibility. But he may also test the waters and sign a 1 year prove it deal for slightly more with someone else.

I didn't realize Rizzo was eligible for the QO. Could hurt his value on the open market

Was wondering the same thing, but I'm not sure he's worth 10M at his current level of play the last 4 months

signing degrom would instantly make us the favorites for 2023.

I didn't sleep much last night. Got this hat right when the store opened. So proud of this team!
Wait....people still wear masks?
He's better than the last 3 months showed. Yes I'd be very interested in ManciniRagnar Danneskjoldd said:you want more of that?bearkatag15 said:

He's not. But what are the odds he continues on of his worst stretches in His career for next season?
A little history lesson for those of you too young to have followed the 86 Astros:
You saw how the Phillies were mentally finished after the Alvarez HR (and the insurance run) because they KNEW, WITH NO DOUBT, they were not scoring 3 more runs off of our bullpen. That's how dominant that bullpen was.
The 86 Mets absolutely knew they could not beat Mike Scott in a potential Game 7 and they had to finish in Game 6 or be done and they won it in 16 innings. That's how dominant Scott was that season.
Sure took a long time to exorcise those demons. And many years of Astros fans saying "if only we could have pulled out Game 6...."

To me, this title is sweeter than it would have been last year.
2022 was a DOMINANT team all season.
Without a doubt, we can say the 2022 Astros are the best team in franchise history

You're likely right, but I wouldn't come within 50% of $10M for him for next season. Dude was awful for the astros, hasnt really been very good at all since he came back from cancer.bearkatag15 said:He's better than the last 3 months showed.

I'd rather keep Yuli for less.

As much as I love the Astros I think being downtown with that many people could sour my mood from this Astros win.
I'm not going this year because of other commitments. But every second of 2017 was glorious

Yuli was the worst everyday first baseman in the league.
Mancini has been above average the last 2 years. I'd prefer upgrading with a lefty, but Mancini isn't a terrible option.

The key is to work downtown right along the parade route and get into work before it gets too crazy.

True. And also, not signing him

Don't worry then
Mancini will get much more than $10M
Yep. Contract parking and walked over to the office at Pennzoil Place. When the parade is over, I'll go back to my desk, get a little more work down and wait for traffic to die down.Gordo14 said:Frok said:RO519 said:
