  1. I like the version with former Halos scout David L. Lander and Harry Shearer, that uses the Guess Who, Who, and Yes.
  2. That sure felt like 2011 WS game 6. Stros only need 2 wins in Houston, because I don't see the Dogs sweeping games 6-7.
  3. Did Giles choke, or throw too many pitches? Stros should have acquired an extra reliever.
  4. The relief under the tax threshold is now there. A couple of nickel and dime moves here and there is fine. They shouldn't have to make it their main staple for 2018, as long as Arte is willing to get to right at the tax threshold.
  5. Verstappen listened to too much Jim Rome. "If you're not cheating, you're not trying."
  6. That's what happens sometimes, when you have a loser lifelong criminal for a dad who probably thought he was another Clyde Barrow. Still doesn't excuse ANY of this, but could have contributed to it.
  7. I was only off by 21 runs on runs allowed (predicted 688 vs actual 709). But alas, I was also 39 runs off on runs scored (749 predicted, 710 scored).
  8. Still LOL at Dipussy and gang seemingly acting like they found Johnny Bench, when Taylor Ward was available to draft, generally 2-3 rounds before he should have been.
  9. Wish I could like this one ten times.
  10. We can only hope that Pujols doesn't have yet another off season surgery. That way, if he can have a normal off season, maybe something solid can come from it for 2018 at least?
  11. The close by LF/LCF fence in Houston says that you may be right; especially if the slider isn't totally on like it was yesterday.
  12. This would be real close to the tax threshold. Upton's offense is critical. It would upgrade the pen, and adding Chatwood helps the rest of the rotation getting used to pitching regular innings. Concern with Cozart is if his recent success is an outlier. 2017 Moose would be great to have, but was the offense explosion also an outlier?
  13. Hackilton's contract was a bigger deterrent, because he contributed pretty much ZERO, outside of a game winning HR at AW tailgate night in 2013.
  14. Talk about wicked stick handling and having the right timing! Nice win the night after their first regulation loss!
  15. And the stock market is also getting hit by the Dogs WS game 1 win.
  16. Especially letting Greg Robinson go, and bringing in perennial All-Pro OL Andrew Whitworth as a leader on the OL No bueno having a bye while being on a bit of a roll, but their next opponent (Giants) also has a bye this weekend.
  17. Dave Smith had a LOL gag segment when he was on 830am much earlier this decade, where he talked about his all-time NBA team with his co-host (last name Allen) and only had white players on it.
  18. Same for Tustin, didn't get below 80 last night until the wee hours of the morning. Did the DeLorean suddenly transport me to Phoenix?
  19. Ugh on re-signing NoStuffCo, who never, eeever found the stuff he had in Aug/Sept 2016 Chavez is a maybe, but only if he never, eeever starts a game and only gets $2 million max for 2018.
  20. The post-season creates many unlikely heroes. Hence, 1990 WS MVP Billy Hatcher and 2006 WS MVP David Eckstein
  21. Arte seems to be real huge on loyalty, hence the 10 year Sosh contract and the lack of new contracts with opt outs. Can't say that's all bad. Loyalty is a good thing, and maybe contributes to better team chemistry?
