It's not even that. It's just baseball. You want to win the division, the division leader makes a big move so you counter with your own. Any other team in any sport would try to do the same. I don't get how it's obsession.
I also don't get the personal shots they take at me over there.. I've never done anything. Dingleberry, Fat Ketch, etc. I could lose a few pounds but geeze.
I am not so sure it was a reaction to "match their move". More of a holy **** moment. The Mets took on a ridiculous amount of money for Max. An amount the Astros' level-headed guys never expected. Once 50 M was in play from the Mets, JV became realistically attainable.
