Well done.

Oh yeah...Don Jr Jr was just being 'exuberant'...

Also, when do we reach the point where the onus is shifted to the reporter(s) to publicly forgive? Gotta be soon.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 7:34 pm

More like Min Scherzer.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 7:45 pm

Gary Sanchez makes that play On the wild pitch.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 7:46 pm

More like Gerritt “made Zimmerman look” Swole.

Thought I've had for years: despite the ethnic/height differences, Altuve looks like Timothy Olyphant. Don't tell me I'm wrong.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 8:06 pm

Both have had professional stints in Lexington.

(Olyphant for a day max I think)

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 8:40 pm

Sanchez sucks.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 9:10 pm

That was a poor stretch at first by Gurriel on the close double play. I think it has cost them 2 runs.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 9:18 pm

I think max schezer may be why I don’t like the nationals

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 10:34 pm

Springer needs to run out of the box, should be on 3rd with 1 out.

It was because Tucker had to stay at second because Eaton almost caught it.

I feel like Astros are probably going to lose now and that's OK. Been a fun season and really just kinda ready for it to be over after all the other shit.

Perhaps but I feel like Springer should have been already past first base when Eaton failed to catch it.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 11:19 am

Tucker shouldn't have been standing on second but even though he was, Springer should have been standing next to him. I guess the good thing is he's not in the Acuna/Puig/Cano/et "all" bucket where those sorts of things are A HUGE PROBLEM.

Really excited for MLB's investigation to just fade away into the ether over the winter.

Post by **brian** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 7:15 pm

This is the Verlander I’m used to seeing in the World Series.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 7:55 pm

Got drunk and scorched the earth. Basically not sure if I’m an Astros fan any more and my wife is crying.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:12 pm

Can't wait to see this when I get to my computer. Sorry about your wife though.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:13 pm

It’s been all over text. And fuck her. She should be just as disgusted as me but is mad I’m upset. So fuck her.

I’m no one to give advice about anything but it’s not worth getting upset — you or your wife. It’s not apples to apples but it’s like me with the Lions and Patricia. I’m not gonna say I don’t care but I can’t honestly say I care about them. And I used to really CARE. With a pure heart the way you care about your wife or your kids. Losing that hurts but it doesn’t mean you have to disavow ever being a fan.

I dunno, buddy. My two cents.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:29 pm

Worse case scenario here retires the irony thread.

(Hang in, Giff.)

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:27 pm

Jesus. I know people are bigger now than ever and of course torre and HAnk Aaron are old but yelich looked like a different species.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:20 pm

“If anyone was offended” or “anyone who was offended” is such a bullshit non-apology.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:33 pm

Rosenthal spells it out for Manfred: Drop the hammer on Houston for the Taubman fiasco.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 7:00 am

Am I OK? AM. I. OK?

Fuck yeah I'm OK!

I Overemotionally Kvetched about the Astros, and in an Opinionated Kerfuffle I Offended Kelli. Now I'm going to need some Opulent Karats or I'm going to be staying at the Omni Katy. Fuck yeah!

(hope you're OK man)

I actually hadn't read Hinch's comments on the issue, and he handled it pretty well, even with the low bar set by the rest of the organization.

MLB having a good week off the field.

4th time is a charm.

Yeah, right. Dude should've been out on his ass the next day.

Astros should be firing their entire PR staff* unless they were following orders from ownership. That was about as mismanaged a situation from a PR standpoint as I can recall in recent memory.

* For incompetence in case it wasn’t clear.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 4:55 pm

Giff, may I suggest a status of “Thank God we got rid of Taubman! I’m so fucking glad we fired Taubman!” and when someone takes the bait deny you were referring to the Osuna incident?

Post by **brian** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 5:10 pm

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 6:13 pm

5th time, unlike the 4th time but like times one through three, is not a charm:

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 6:30 pm

Sounds like Luhnow's upset he had to fire Taubman.

Fucking dumpster fire. You knew that team was toxic as anything when Gurriel went slanty-eyed a couple years ago in the post season to mock some Asian player (I'm forgetting who).
