We need to hook them up with something next spring training maybe some Booze or BBQ. Just need to thank them for what they have done to the asstros all season.
What a great couple of days of results. Chances of being the 2 seed and having the entire healthy lineup ready for the playoffs means we have a chance to make some noise even with the bullpen issues.
Like a poster before said, I wonder if we get Scherzer back as a relief option. That would at least give me hope that we could piece together 9 innings in a tight game between Scherzer, leclerc and Chapman.

I read an article about how much Scherzer claims he "knows" his body. He is a true competitor. If Max thinks he can go for the playoffs, I say let him go. Maybe he has enough to come and play Closer.

I'd really like to keep Perez in the pen. A veteran lefty with length who gets ground balls will win you a game in a 7 game series.

I got to listen to the 7th through the 9th on the way home from coaching son's baseball team today. I swear, I was more nervous during that drive home than at any point during the day today while coaching

What's funny is that I was nervous as hell when Chapman came in all Wild Thing like he usually does but we won. Then I turned my attention to the bottom of the 9th in the Houston game and the KC pitcher was making me even more nervous. He would get an 0-2 count then start bouncing pitches off the plate, in front of the plate, in the other batters box. Dude was wild.

Absolutely. But I don't wanna get greedy.
Baylor stinks and was the toughest one to get. Biggest long shot. Oh well
No, but they do have Bobby Witt, Jr., whose dad pitched for the Rangers, Maybe spot start him - go all Ohtani for one game?KT 90 said:Do they have another former Ranger to pitch tomorrow for the Royals?Danny Vermin said:

Anyone doing wellness visits to the other thread?!
If we W today and they L, it could begin a week's long meltdown.
If the Astros don't make the playoffs, there are several condescending, self-righteous Facebook friends I'll have to pay a visit.

1) This is all Dusty's fault
2) If it's not Dusty's fault, then it's Maldonado's fault (which is still Dusty's fault for playing him)
3) This team has quit

6 straight ALCS, 4 WS, 2 titles. And they still have a chance to do it this year. But they whine like somebody's amputating their limbs without anesthesia.

I was thinking about being an insufferable ***** on the trash talk thread, then realized, why the hell am I wasting my time on these insecure a-holes? Not worth it.
In all seriousness though, they deserve every bit of grief with the way they act. Can't stand that fanbase.
The Astros are all they have. The Texans have always been a joke, and the Rockets are in the middle of a rebuild.94chem said:

I'm a bit of anomaly. Diehard Rangers fan, can't stand the Cowboys - grew up in central TX but was a Packers/Oilers fan as a kid. Moved to Nashville in '82, and I was pretty fired up with the Oilers moved to TN - my childhood fave moves to where I live, doesn't get much better than that.agent-maroon said:FIFYLeagueCityAg said:The Astros are all they've ever had.

Maybe my memory is skewed, but I seem to recall Bud Adams was begging Houston for a new stadium and they flat out refused, leading to the move. And almost immediately afterwards, Houston builds a new stadium & gets a new team.
If that timeline and recollection is correct, IMO Houstonians lose the right to b*tch about losing the Oilers, because they could've kept them by building the new stadium they wound up building anyway. It always appeared to me that they thought Adams was bluffing, called the perceived bluff, and then whined and cried when he did what he said he would do. Likewise, if they wanted Adams & the Oilers to go away to make room for a new team/ownership, they lose the right to whine because they got exactly what they wanted.
Rangers/Astros related because I see a lot of the same illogical behavior on the part of Astros fans. Sorry for the derail.

Agree on all points. Spot on assessment IMO

He didn't beg. He threatened to leave. Which was at least the second time he'd done that. The city was also still paying the do the bonds from his previous threats. I guess the idea that Bud Adams was mistreated must've been the story they trotted out when they moved. It was really more the city got tired of the bully tactics so he bailed. His daughter sounds like an equally pleasant person.

So it was situation B from the previous post:

Bud Adams wasn't even close to being the only sports team owner to make demands for city funding, but rather happened to be located in a city that thought they were too good to have to provide any. Just look at Oakland's teams to see the latest example of this.

ALL their issues stem from the Cowboys. None of them can look at this without their blood pressure spiking 50 point.
Exactly. There are only 3 NFL stadiums that were built without any public funding.
Now if Houston had been awarded their new team and put them in the Astrodome - and the new team was blissfully happy there - then I can get behind the fanbase's animosity towards Adams. But they didn't. They built the new stadium that he wanted (around $193 million of the total amount paid by public funding). So again, if they wanted to get rid of Adams, mission accomplished. If they didn't want to run him & the Oilers out of town, they should've built the stadium for Adams that they wound up building for the Texans.
Anyway, back to baseball....

Yep, within a few years doing what it would have taken to keep them just showed how dumb they were about it all. It was just stubborn dumbassery that cost them a franchise. And they still have ****ty ownership.
