That's almost as bad as "best shape of their life" headlines. If anything we need to be more selective with our aggression.

Anyone that says the early 90's wasn't the greatest time is lying. Everyone wants to go back.
I don't NEED that jacket but boy do I want it!

I honestly lump the 80s and 90s together.
Guys - I went to the Homage website to look at the start jackets already out, and all of them are sold out except the Angels! Hilarious!
Thanks to the Angels, I know those jackets are $165.

I still have my Aggie Starter jacket in a closet somewhere. May be time to bring that baby back out!
Count up the MVP trophies for those guys, then for Yordan and get back to me.Lonestar_Ag09 said:The Porkchop Express said:It's because of his health. He missed 48 games last year. Guy can't be Top 5 if he's unavailable for 30% of the games.astros4545 said:

The Rangers' FBL league that me and another Astro fan infiltrated last year has reopened. I am hoping to take Joey Gallo in the first round for a second straight year. Hopefully with the #1 pick this time.
Then I will pick every single player on the Rangers roster so I can go to thread and gripe about how the Rangers' struggles are killing my fantasy team, with accompanying screenshots to avoid the ban.

The Astros start Grapefruit League play tomorrow. Here are four things to monitor - https://t.co/t99Z1Kfz8G

Spencer Arrighetti will make his Grapefruit League debut on Monday. He’ll start against the Tigers in idyllic Lakeland.

Careful there Porkchop, you just pulled an Obama and told the enemy what you're doing on a public forum so now they will know who to blame!The Porkchop Express said:

Astros manager Joe Espada on his first Grapefruit League tomorrow: "I’m looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to the anthem and the whole entire stuff. I think it will be a first. It’s a moment I’ve been dreaming of for a very long time. I’m excited about it."

Good for him. Nice to hear how excited he is.
But surely no Rangers fans come to an Astros thread!All I do is Nguyen said:Careful there Porkchop, you just pulled an Obama and told the enemy what you're doing on a public forum so now they will know who to blame!The Porkchop Express said:

Speaking of which, I still haven't gotten an explanation from the mods of what rule I broke and got the ban hammer for. But if I post over there again, the full year ban still stands. So weird.
Every time I read Spencer Arrighetti's name, I always think his last name is spaghetti.
Hope spaghetti can contribute in 2024!

Other than the year long ban you should post a 5,000 word essay on how Ranger baseball is the epitome of class and you've decided to change allegiances. I'll write it for free. Do you get banned for positive posts?texasaggie2015 said:

If we win the WS or beat them in the playoffs this year… I anticipate a lot of bans for trolling. Myself included

Y'all care way too much about the Rangers.
Yeah, I want it on record that I'm anti-trolling after the whole fiasco last week

Agreed. Talk some **** on "neutral ground".
The team that beat us 4 times at home to deny us a trip to the WS?Ag_07 said:

Agreed. Too many Astros fans treating them like rivals already, and 1 successful year isn't enough for them to earn the spot as a rival.
I'd rather stay focused on being better than LA, the Yankees and Braves.

The one that had one spurt of good games and a very fortunate WS matchup after a half century of irrelevance, still has half the titles and just slightly more than half the pennants the Astros do, and isn't projected anywhere near the top of the AL West this year, yes. Props to them and all, but I'm way more mad at the Astros for blowing that than I am feeling like it was bitterly taken away by someone else.
I'm a little more worried about the Doyers and Yankees this season.

Yup that's the one.
I wanna see them return back to earth as much as anyone but grown men trolling their fan base on a message board is kinda sad.
Just my $0.02 though
Huh….we haven't played the sips in years and they're our rival.
The Astros play them a ton and are in state. Theyre 100% a rival. Just because you're better than them doesn't make it not a rivalry.
Ou/osu is one sided but still a rivalry, Georgia/Georgia st etc etc
