Let's play two on this lovely Mother's Day/Derek Jeter Day:



Game 2 at 6:30. It wouldn't fit.

Currently 14 games over which was the high water mark they could never push beyond in 2015.

Earlier I was reading the article from 2014 in sports illustrated "Astros 2017 world champs". Really interesting stuff about their approach to building a team for the long term. Anyway, it ends with them drafting Brady Aiken. Which I'm sure is a sore subject in here. But my question, why did he not sign? I remember it happening but didn't follow it closely at all so I was just looking for more details. Also has there ever been another #1 overall pick to not sign?

Basically, he was damaged goods, and the Astros found out, if I'm remembering correctly.

The Astros reduced their offer after they found out his ucl was damaged, Aiken got mad and didn't sign.

Its gonna be a good day. My childhood hometown team with my favorite player's number being retired against my current hometown team. It's gonna be a pizza and beer on the couch kinda day.

The only time I ever root against the Astros is when they play the Yankees.

Game 2 is going to be terribly annoying with ESPN being the only broadcast on "Derek Jeter Night."

~Jetey is so special
~Jeets was such a leader on the field
~DJ is the face of the Yankees franchise
~Derry is so dreamy
~oh I guess the Astros have hit 4 grand slams this inning
~Did you know DerJet had 1 career grand slam? Oh was it special.

I hope we drub em.

How did they not find out he was damaged before they spent a draft pick on him?

If I'm not mistaken he eventually had tommy John surgery as well.

I hope they send Jessica Mendoza down for an interview/blow job with Jee-tah and she never comes back.

Pretty sure that you're right. The Astros were made out to be a great villain in the whole situation, and it turned out they were right.

Teams aren't allowed to conduct physicals prior to the draft. Aiken's camp claimed it wasn't an issue and the Astros disagreed. The next time he pitched in a game several months after the fiasco he threw a handful of pitches and then had TJ surgery.

Dayan Diaz is back as the 26th man for game 2.

Also, Arlington has gone from last place to 2nd in 2 days. AL West
