I'm in. Who's with me.

Is Kate Upton ever going to set foot there in 2017?

by **tGreenWay** Fri 1 Sep 2017 - 1:18

Helluva day. Not my favorite, TBH. I know it was inevitable, but I wanted JV here for the length of his career.

Who else do I have to pick from?

by **Rocinante** Fri 1 Sep 2017 - 1:53

I'm in. JV did his thing here and the franchise couldn't deliver.

Washington, we have Scherzer.

Rosenthal: With Verlander, Astros go all in for their city

In. Went to bed early and woke up to this bombshell.

Besides taking $$$ off the books how are the prospects?

by **steveschneider** Fri 1 Sep 2017 - 6:57

So by the end of next year we will have dumped Sanchez and Victor Martinez contract just leaving us with Cabrera and Zimmerman.

by **NigelUno** Fri 1 Sep 2017 - 7:56

Other Teams Pursuing That wrote:Who else do I have to pick from?

Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, and Yankees.

Totally in. Astros have always been a second favorite from afar, as I was born there and lived there when I was little.

And they could also finish with 120 losses.

I'm gonna go to 10 games next summer. I'll bring in my own rum I'll scalp a great seat for five bucks and watch Major League Baseball. Had to happen. I'm a tigers fan. Stuck with them. Fuck.

That's the spirit. Went to a Phillys game this summer. Saw some awful baseball, but I still enjoyed drinking beer in the park.

You could move to Miami and see every major baseball team for $5.

And watch Stanton play HR Derby during the game.

The Astros will resume their season tomorrow with a doubleheader against the NY Mets.

BTW you should donate to Harvey if you are able to. You can always go the Red Cross disaster relief route, or I know some guys on the ground who are taking supplies directly to shelters. You can PM me for contact info if you're interested.

by **Wally Fairway** Fri 1 Sep 2017 - 10:07

I would love to see the Astros win the World Series and JV get a ring - hell he deserves the chance to throw some playoff baseball. And that wasn't going to happen anytime soon in Detroit.

My guess is that the rebuild will get the Tigers back to the playoffs

in 2023

Please do not donate to a storm. A) it is not a thing that requires money. B) it's kind of a dick.

Do donate to relief efforts though. That is a good choice.

Travis, you were always so funny!

LWS you posted in July. Why did you take part of the summer off?

You were mean and hurt my feelings. pale

Seriously, just didn't feel like posting during off-topic season. I stopped by here when Don Rickles died because I knew he was a board favorite. Or maybe when Chris Cornell died too. But for the most part I just took OT season off.

I pick the dodgers Nigel.

Must see JV tonight.

Astros vs. Ms at 10:10 on MLB Network.

Depressing to see JV in an Astros uniform.

How about that, Justin Verlander has some run support and a BP that can protect a narrow lead. 3-1 for his first win.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Wed 6 Sep 2017 - 10:01

Ha, and it was Cam Maybin with the gw 2 run HR for Houston.

Yep, I always loved his energy and he was a one of those players that can come up with a big hit at the right time.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Tue 12 Sep 2017 - 23:31

Lucked into realizing JV was on the bump again tonight in a late start after getting the kids to bed. They are in Anaheim. It's 1-0 Houston in the top of the 5th. JV has allowed 1 hit (I think). He's retired J Up in both ABs.

Houston has lost 4 in a row.

I didn't know JV had kids, but it was nice of the teams to delay the game until he could get them to fall asleep.

I get enough sarcasm from Bob's posts, please don't think you need to handle things in his absence.
