Extremely disappointed to find out Fiers is staying in a division that doesn’t allow us to demolish him every now and then

Would you trade Osuna for Fiers

Yeah, if only because Fiers is a marginally less lovely person. I guess he could throw BP and save Brocamonte’s arm.

I was listening to Matt Thomas yesterday leading into the trade deadline (where I heard the Fiers news, then I guess it turned out to be false) and there was a caller who said the following

- The usual we don't know what he did line
- That he heard that Osuna had cheated on his girlfriend
- Therefor it's likely she was calling him "every name in the book"
- As a result of this he might have "just" slapped her or something, and that's not real assault
- The caller had once grabbed a cheating girlfriend by the hair and swung her around which also isn't real assault according to him

:psyduck:

Like I said in the last thread, I’m willing to bet money that the fan reaction to Osuna’s first appearance at MMP is going to be absolutely sickening. It’ll make the standing O Yuli got in the WS look like a tasteful disapproval.

:sigh:

When visiting other parks, I get really really annoyed when I can't take public transit there. I hate driving to games with a passion. It's why I'm not looking forward to my final four parks, Atlanta, Tampa, Dallas, and Houston.

Houston’s mass transit is kind of a joke, but there’s tons of garages and surface lots within a 3-6 block walk of MMP. There’s a single rail line going down Main St. that you could take and then walk the last 6 blocks if you didn’t want to park close to the stadium.

You could also eat before the game at Ninfa’s on Navigation (one of the better Tex-Mex places in Houston) and take their free shuttle :haw:

I’m really thrilled that the Osuna trade is going to spawn a never-ending deluge of articles like this one, cementing the Astros’ place as the new Evil Team of baseball.

In a week’s span I’ve gone from being really pumped about another possible WS run to feeling ashamed to even wear Astros shirts in public. Thanks Luhnow!

I think if a player helps your team you go sign him. Flags fly forever.

Counterpoint: Teams shouldn’t sign possible domestic abusers just for the slightly better percentage of winning a WS.

She's going to get some... problematic Tweets leveled at her, isn't she?

My sister, an even bigger diehard Astros fan than me, made a negative comment about Osuna’s signing on an Astros Facebook post last week and she’s still getting harassment from at least a dozen different guys 5 days later. Pretty nasty poo poo too, like one guy repeatedly calling her a “social justice oval office” over messenger until she blocked him.

So yeah. Mendoza’s in for some tweets.
