Also Altuve went to the White House (Correa didn't) but he looked miserable and didn't really talk to Trump or shake his hand so now I fully approve of him winning MVP.

I rather them take a day off then to stand around awkwardly.

I was laughing at Springer though. He kept darting his eyes at Trump and I think Trump caught him staring.

I saw Kyle Tucker was moved to minor league camp. Even with the stacked outfield I can't imagine he'll be there that long.

Brandon Bailey has a pretty fantastic blog about his experience at Astros training camp in case you're interested:

Does anyone here want tickets to tonight's game against the Brew Crew? You can have them for free and they're pretty solid seats.

That's my bad - I looked out the window and say the Brewers logo on the Jumbotron - thought there was a last ST game today.

drat - y'all are harsh - was just trying to give away some tickets to a game that doesn't exist to strangers on the internet I don't know.

Damn, this is good coffee.
Along the same lines, is anyone interested in buying some tickets for the game against the Padres next Saturday (04/07) off of me? My stepmother-in-law got them for me for Christmas not knowing that I'm already going to WrestleMania that weekend. Asking $220 for the pair; section 113, row 14, two adjacent seats somewhere between seats 1-6. Still waiting on my in-law to actually email me the ticket PDF since the sheet she gave me on Christmas day was just the confirmation email, but I'll send over proof once I get it.

If it makes any difference, the giveaway that day is replica World Series championship rings :cool:

Hilariously it didn't even seem like Verlander had his best stuff today

Also the Astros blew some opportunities, like coming out with only one run with the bases loaded and no outs and Altuve/Correa/Marwin coming up

Next is Keuchel vs Fister which :lol:

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
I really hope Keuchel shows out this season (I think he will). I am trying to find a video of the McCann single but the internet is failing me this early morning.

Astro buddies, my life is so much better now than it was around playoff time last year.

With my divorce behind me, and a new girlfriend who is just as big an Astros fanatic as I am (my ex-wife was not a sports fan at all), we've committed to watching every possible game together. Can't wait to ride the season out with you guys.

BTW, those of you who know my grandmother passed, here's a photo of her "rocker jacket", which has patches on it from every band she ever saw live (she didn't cheat and just get a patch, she got them AT the concerts):



It is the mascot of the 2018 Astros Watching Season for me.

She was still going to concerts as late as her mid-70s. She started developing health problems in her late 70s which kept her from going, but she was doing it right up until then.

I thought I was being real clever by getting NordVPN and the MLB.tv package.

Nope. Can't access mlb.com on my PC when the vpn is turned on and can't figure out what to do, so that's a lot of money out the window for nothing.
