Welcome home community leaders! The 2021 championship season starts today. I hope the pandemic and shortened 2020 season hasn't made you fat lazy slobs. We've got 173 of these threads to get through before our boys hoist a trophy. The 2021 Astros are joining Goldberg baws

Houston authorities are looking into the murder of several cereals.

This is where I’m starting this season with the pitching staff.



Achilles heel on to 80-81 win season.

After Lindor signed his massive contract last night, I think that puts the final nail in the coffin on Correa coming back. Maybe they use that money they’d have earmarked for Correa to sign Trevor Storey to replace him. Who knows? I don’t particularly care for the mediocre tunnel we’re about to have to ride through.

I AM excited that they are playing a season that’s more than just a small sample size. That abbreviated nonsense last year was a joke and should be erased from the history books. Even bought the MLB package for the first time. Want to watch Springer a bit in Toronto when he’s not hurt and I think the Padres are Houston reborn with what they got over there.

I’ll be here cursing Ryno most of the season. It’s not a DAT without Chicken Little around.




Happy Opening Day everybody!

I think you are correct. And if that is what it would take to keep him, I am perfectly fine with that. And I love Carlos. But let someone else get saddled with that albatross of a contract.

It's opening day finally! I know Fiers is out right now, but curious to see if the A's make sure he doesn't face the Astros again this year.

Odds Tuve comes in bats swinging to go yard on the first at bat a la Springer style?

Bless your heart. Your entire post was quitting , giving up and crying about pitching, Correa etc...and watching other teams play. But I'm the chicken little. Those numbers don't crunch. I deal in facts, not emotions.

No baw, I was there long before the pandemic...


But glad to be back with all of you. It should be an interesting and fun season with lots of unknowns. Here are some of my questions/talking points as we hit opening day:

1) Can Miles Straw be a reasonable everyday starter in center field? My early answer is an emphatic "NO" and I predict he will have us longing for Reddick by the end of April.

2) Is Yuli broken forever? I think the answer is also "No". I am not sure he will have a "monster year", but I think he will be productive enough again to justify our love.

3) Will the young bullpen arms that we saw grow up before our very eyes last year hold up over a full 2nd season? I am very optimistic here also. I hope Dusty doesn't overuse them and have them run down by August, but I like the bullpen and think it will be a strength.

4) Is it winnable? My gut tells me in the long run the answer is "no", but it is April 1st and that means that hope springs eternal for everyone, so count me in for the ride!
