This for my justices slingin' thangs, rib breakin' kings / Truck, necklace, robe, gavel and things / For the solicitors seein' them dissents spin and grin / That robe with the lace trim that win.
The Mets - my dad moved to New York from India in 1968 right before the the 1969 miracle Mets and he still talks about that poo poo all the time.

On a sidenote, I'm at a conference in Austin right now. I have seen infinity Astros shirts/hats etc.. and zero Longhorns anything. This owns. I love having bandwagon fans.

I kind of want to make a av with the trophy in it but I'd never turn down a Chirurgeon Springer av

One time when I was very young I went on a cubs scout trip to Houston; we got to go to the Astrodome field and Biggio and Bagwell talked to us. Such a long time waiting then til now.

It's good that they de-modded you. In my head, this home run was still on its way up and hit the glass. After watching (for the first time in 12 years - I never once saw a highlight of this and the only time I've ever seen it was at the drat ballpark), it's good to know Springer's game 5 bomb was harder hit than this.

I ordered my stuff on the 4th and it still shows as "NEW" status so I guess there was a big glut between the 2nd and then

Apparently Jay Bruce wants to be either an Astro or Ranger and also wants to play for a contender (so he wants to be an Astro)

I don't know that I would even want him personally. You get similar or better production out of Marwin, but he can also play any infield position and will be cheaper, and you have Tucker waiting in the wings to fill out the outfield either next season or in 2019

Yeah, I'm not sure it makes sense for us to pick up that contract when we're almost bursting at the seams with capable OFs.

Maybe if he were cheap. He could platoon with Gattis to give a lefty/righty option, but it couldn't be too expensive or too many years

Jay Bruce seems like a worthless signing...don't even bother.

I'm not sure we need anything on offense, or even rotation wise. We need bullpen, period.

Intruder

We need a DH, but I'm not sure anyone is out there worth signing that's better than the internal options except for super expensive dudes like JD Martinez

DH, LHRP, and Wade Davis
