Ags on the big screen and Astros on the iPad until the Ags inevitably collapse and then it's me refilling the bourbon glass and Astros on the big screen.
Also a Notre Dame grad will be there who is a huge obnoxious Ranger fan (do they come any other way) so hopefully no fights break out tonight.

Making big moves in KC

I like the cut of your jib, Captain. I will be doing the same. I'll break out the Stagg Jr. if both win. I have seen enough first game collapses by the guys in maroon to temper my hopes…

3rd quarter. Withe the way college football plays, the baseball game will be over by then.
People will really be like "baseball is boring" and then spend 3.5 hours watching like 11 minutes of actual action in football with two hours of commercials and a bunch of guys staring at the sideline between plays.
KC is panicking. In the last 3 days they have gone from tied with Cleveland to 2.5 games back and suffered Pasquantino's season ending injury.
Pham is a clubhouse mess and KC is a tight clubhouse with everyone publicly saying this is all for Salvy to get him back to the WS. He's played for 10 teams in 10 years and his 5th team in 2 seasons. That's for me trouble.

If both win I may break out the ER17. I still have a 2013 bottle with a couple of fingers left. Last time it got opened was when we won the 2022 WS.

What happened to him??
He said "some cognitive things". May be a TIA or something.
I'm worried there's a Gallery Furniture offer in the near future that if Mac survives a quadruple bypass, all the furniture you buy that day is free.gambochaman said:Mathguy64 said:

Alex Bregman is “sore,” Joe Espada said. Bregman is day to day, but feeling better than yesterday. His elbow is bothering him “more on the swing than throwing,” Espada said.

So we have Junk and a Kikuchi?
We HAD the Junk, now we just have the Kooch.
Yuli Gurriel to Royals. MLB.

How has he been this year? Don't want to face him in the postseason, he can get hot. Didn't even realize he was available
Who are the Royals going to sign next, Rickey Henderson?
He signed with the Braves this year and they traded him to KC. He's been at AAA Gwinnett all year hitting .292 at age 40.EastCoastAgNc said:CFTXAG10 said:Yuli Gurriel to Royals. MLB.

I didn't think you could do minor league trades after the deadline anymore... Wonder if they can use him in the playoffs or if he'll be past the cutoff?

How is this legal? Yuli was in the Atlanta AAA team. He wasn't DFA'd.
It's a loophole.EastCoastAgNc said:The Porkchop Express said:He signed with the Braves this year and they traded him to KC. He's been at AAA Gwinnett all year hitting .292 at age 40.EastCoastAgNc said:CFTXAG10 said:Yuli Gurriel to Royals. MLB.

Minor league players who are not on a 40-man roster can be traded after the Major League Baseball (MLB) trade deadline as long as they are still in an organization by August 31. This is to ensure that players who are traded are eligible to play in the postseason for their club.

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but wonder if the Astros considered this at all...
There was a reason we traded for Trey Mancini in 2022.

Yeah that worked out great... Must be why yuli played the majority of the postseason and Mancini didn't

As if he hadn't tanked his value enough during the first four months of the season. Hope he heals up soon, but we cannot play him 30M again ever. If someone else is dumb enough to do that, best of luck to them.
A little over an hour to game times. Let the fall fun begin.
A take on an Old Fashioned
2 oz of your choice of bourbon or rye. This is 112 proof Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye
1/2 of of blueberry flavored simple syrup.
5 dashes orange bitters
5 dashes cocoa bitters
Stirred over ice and strained into a low ball glass
Add a Luxardo cherry. The real thing. Not some fake dyed maraschino thing
The first was smooth as butter. The second is even better.

Lineup for tonight.
Royals have 2 guys. Witt and Salvy. Don't let them beat you.

So at one point are we concerned Bregman is more injured than we originally thought?
I think I'm already there

Pregame: Joe Espada said Bregman is still day to day with his elbow soreness. Said his elbow bothers him more when he swings than when he throws.
— Joshua Koch_Humble ISD (@jokoch09) August 31, 2024
“It’s more when he brings his hands up and more in the set-up”
Bregman is out of the Astros lineup again today. @brianmctaggart
That's not good
This is pretty much what was expected.
It's day to day and he may miss a few games at a time. Pretty consistent from the start.
