Who remembers when we played games on good ole channel 51?


I'll show my age by remembering watching the Astros on HSE (channel 37 on cable). Even had Dierker in the booth before he became manager.


I remember when there wasn't any local TV for 45's games.

Colt 45 games were televised on Sunday when playing out of town.

Back in those days and even through the 70s, local TV didn't exist. You had the NBC Saturday game of the week as a national game. Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek.

And in the late 50's and early 60's you had Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese doing the Saturday national game of the week.

We didn't need Polanco and we don't need Bregman. I'm fine with our current roster and just rolling with new guys fighting for spots in the outfield

We have Doubon as an infield/outfield utility player. Not exciting, neither is Polanco
Only reason I want Bregman to sign somewhere is to get the draft pick for him. Otherwise, I am fine if we and everybody else sit out the rest of he and Boras' game.

Probably true, but still a hell of a shot to take unnecessarily imo...try to build a relationship not be interested in delivering the first blow

Over/Under on the number of starts he makes? 15.5

I just don't think he's holds up. And when he's out there he's ineffective.

Nothing but the locking Breggy plays musical chairs, the most likely scenario is Houston. Especially when the one publicly rumors guy we were going after that not Bregman just signed elsewhere.

Bregman going to LAD would break MLB. And he would immediately become the most hated player ever in Houston. He would get booed unmercifully if he ever came back here for a game. It would be ugly. And I don't think he wants that on his legacy.

Kinda rooting for him to go there so the Dodger fans have to grin and bear it. I would actually hope he gets off to a blistering hot start just to watch those idiots squirm.

Yep. It would be hilarious to watch Kershaw play nice. He's still a loudmouth idiot over it. Like his team wasn't doing it to.

They just won't admit what we all saw. They lost that series because Roberts over used his pen and Darsh was tipping.

He'd thrive based on whatever method they have now for cheating

Only if they have a hidden stash of 2019 baseballs they use for the other team to pitch with.

We lived on the road into Big Bend National Park but my dad and I spent a week every summer going to 45's and then Astros games. The only TV baseball we got was Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese once a week.

This guy says altuve is one of the best second baseman then knocks his arm for left, says we have to flip parades for a left handed outfielder if we get Alex

Hmmm....

Another national reporter claiming another team has him as a top priority and this time they have a higher offer on the table.

Bregman knows he doesn't have the power for Comerica Park.

Also the tigers offense is trash. Likley would just pitch around Bregman if Bregman is playing well

Dana brown isn't trading parades and any talking head that says such has zero credibility
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Any word on City connect details yet?

This season will be the 50th anniversary for the tequila sunrise uniforms, so here's to honoring those in some way.

Stand firm and don't budge on our offer. While I'd love to have Breggy back, our biggest needs right now are OF and middle relief (IMO) - even though we'll have to settle for scraps if Crane doesn't want to exceed the tax threshold. And I'm ok with that.

I like how the Red Sox and Tigers are the "favorites" yet their offers are worse and at a standstill
