It sounds like the Mets are buying Drew Gilbert for $52.5 million. LOL. What am I missing? For that amount they could have gotten Messi via transfer.tjack16 said:The New York #Mets are sending the #Astros about $54 million in the Justin Verlander trade, one executive said, if Verlander's $35 million option in 2025 becomes vested.

Verlander is owed about $93 million, meaning the #Astros would pay Verlander about $29 million for 2 1/3 years
I think the Astros did okay here.

93m owed
54m from Mets
39m for 2.3 years should be the number. Still good get for the Astros but not $29m good.
How dumb are the Mets
There is no fan base more fun to mess with than Ranger fans. Never seen such sensitive, butthurt fans as a whole.Legal Custodian said:
Man, nothing better than to see the obsession Astros fans have with us. Overpay to get a good 40yr old pitcher and the first thing they do is come here to seek approval.
But I get it, you had to push the chips on the table. With an aging team and the 30th ranked farm system, you had to do it. Major props shooting your shot.
It is simply a guilty pleasure of mine. Definitely not an obsession.

and we keep rolling must really suck to be overshadowed in the one decent year the rangerretes are having.
Don't forget the great Kenny Rogers perfect game. Back in '94, when Framber was less than a year old
Obese Framber looked good tonight
Like effing clockwork

Gunna be the best 1-2 punch in the postseason. Then Javier is the best #3 in baseball. The duo of best rookies in France & Brown. What insane depth for a team that lost 3 starters.
**** farm system though and not enough all starz to take this team seriously

Lol
The experts have been saying this for a number of years now yet this **** farm somehow has players down on the farm to fill whatever need arises.Chrundle the Great said:

lol rangers dildos crying about the threads on premium. Mean ole stros fans.
The crying Continues on the ranger thread about the mods such little crybabies what a weird and bizarre fan base
Did a rangers fan steal your wife or something. Such an odd team to obsess over.
They are now the Red Rangers as their fast ugly fan base is the same as red raider fans
Now claiming success getting the premium thread nuked wow what a bunch of thin skinned women

I honestly can't tell if you're a troll or really just obnoxious...and this is coming from an Astros fan....
In general, all sports fans are pretty damn delusional. How can anyone truly believe that the general population of people who root for your team are somehow "better" than others who happen to root for a different team....
You realize all the crap Rangers fans say about Astros fans...Astros fans also say about Rangers fans, right? And the crap Aggies say about Longhorns....Longhorns probably say about Aggies?
And this will be really hard to grasp.....but you probably also claim some kind of superiority over the Longhorns because our fan base when....wait for it....probably the largest percent of the fan base are Houstonions or at least Astros fans....
All fan bases have asshats, is what it is.

Nailed it. Sports fans are pretty much the same everywhere. Except those garbage Astros fans.htxag09 said:

And to REALLY not care about Astros team or fans, you guys sure do discuss them a lot.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Your pitcher threw a no hitter last night, against Cleveland, and y'all immediately came to the trash talk thread. What does that say about Astros fans?
We can multitask?Mr Gigem said:

Sure, that's a valid point. Can you also agree that Ranger fans obsess just as much? Sort of like a few days ago when YOU recommended that one of your thread buddies post on the Astros thread to jinx Javier's no hit bid?
The above poster is right. Both sides claim superiority and indifference, and both are wrong.

Ok, that response made me chuckle I'll give you that.htxag09 said:We can multitask?Mr Gigem said:

And to be fair I admit to reading the Astros thread, but I wouldn't peruse the Astros thread that much if it wasn't for the boobs. So keep doing that whoever it is that posts 'em.
Both sides obsess. Every rival fan base does. Insert the Horn Meltdown Thread as Exhibit A. It's silly to say one does and the other doesn't
I read the Astros thread all the time, and occasionally comment with texasaggie2015 and Farmer. I just don't ever troll
So true. It's all dumb. When Astro fans hold the two rings over the Rangers fans' heads, I'm like "okay so do you just bow to Yankee fans when they're in town since they are 25 rings ahead?" Sports banter is nothing more than the meme of the Spidermen pointing at each other.htxag09 said:
