Well gently caress - facebook memories reminded me that in 2016, on Altuve's birthday, I went to a Yankees-Red Sox game....and wore a Yankees hat. I am a sinner.

Bird in a Blender posted:I've seen all but 4 teams, Tampa, Atlanta, Texas, Houston. Although some teams I saw in old stadiums, but I still count that. Like I saw the Pirates in Three Rivers, and Yankees in the old Yankee Stadium. I've taken a hiatus on baseball trips since my kid came around, but I'm hoping I can get back to it next year. I really want to get those last four off my list. Tampa - Trash stadium in lovely part of city, skip. Atlanta - white flight stadium - skip on principle Texas - the original white flight stadium - looks like a gas grill and everyone knows real men use charcoal - skip Houston - a temple to baseball and America's team. Home of Jose Altuve (PBUH). Come visit, enjoy the friendly fans, visit the bars and restaurants in the vibrant downtown area and see America's team play good ol' fashioned baseball.

Intruder posted:MMP also has a lot of parking lots around but they're the same parking lots used during the day for other stuff. Street parking is free after 6pm so I generally get to the stadium an hour early, go pregame at a nearby bar, then head in for first pitch while watching someone drop $20 to park slightly further away than I did Imagine driving and not riding a bike to Minute Maid Park - pay $0 to park right next to the LF entrance next to Union Station.

mcmagic posted:It should also be noted that Astros fans are such loving morons that they really believe that a professional athlete is too shy to have his shirt off in public. (It's either that or they are liars who are OK with cheating) lol imagine going to your grave believing a fake tweet from "Carlos Beltran's niece" and a Jomboy zapruder film. I'm also thrilled the Astros drafted Gilbert - the biggest rear end in a top hat in College Baseball will be a great addition to the squad. We've been lacking in that since they let Correa walk.

Criminal Minded posted:I'm a Cards fan who moved back to STL recently. I was talking with a coworker and telling him how the fear among Cardinals fans I knew in the mid-2000s was that the Cubs would realize, and leverage, their enormous financial advantage and make life very difficult for the Cardinals simply by paying for top talent like the Dodgers have. To some extent they did, but they did so right in time for league ownership to collectively decide that they don't give a poo poo about anything but minmaxing profit. Bullet dodged, for us. This is fine, but also the Dodgers basically built their team from the ground up. I'm not sure they've made a big free agent splash signing other than Freddie Freeman since Friedman took over. They traded for Mookie and Trea Turner and were able to sign them, but not sure that's the same thing as just "simply paying for top talent" since they had to develop the prospects and players that enticed the Red Sox and Nats to make the trade (I still don't quite understand what the gently caress the Red Sox were doing though) Sab0921 fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Jul 26, 2022 |

Intruder posted:I thought the Astros might make a run at Contreras but Maldonado's been relatively hot lately (.244/.306/.489 in his last 15 games) so I wonder if they just stand pat since they value him so much defensively. And obviously you take a near .800 OPS from your glove first catcher, or even .700. As long as they don't think he's going to drop back down to a .150 BA .500 ops hitter again The Astros have like 15 major league caliber outfielders. Brantley/Tucker/Meyers is fine.

TBH the Astros should just trade for Soto. Send these guys Meyers/McCormick/Siri/Dubon and then like a pitcher or something - bingo bango the Nats should be thrilled.

mcmagic posted:The trade that I suggested to get Soto to the Yankees is WAY better than this and for some reason I don't see anyone making GBS threads on you as much as you deserve to be shat on for this. Actually I think you'll see the Bellinger for Soto straight up that's right above what you quoted makes the most sense. Bellinger has 1 MVP and Soto has 0 MVPs so I'd rate that as a win for the Nats.
