It's amazing the teams I've rooted for have won championships with these characters at the helm:

Les miles
Ed Orgeron
AJ Hinch
Dusty Baker
Barry Switzer

Maybe you're the problem?

I kid... my list is the same as yours, minus Barry.

Astros are winning the AL west. Even with a loss today, it’ll probably be tied in the division, we go sweep the 50 win royals and then have the Mariners on deck. Win 1 maybe 2 and it sets us up nicely with the dbacks to win the west. That 4 game rangers Mariners series will be what saves us.


Lady? Is that you? What an odd alter name for a Lady.



No me! I've got more sense than that!

Good try Astros. Season is over. Pack up and let's continue to stay home.

Nice two hopper to second from Maldy.

He’s last in frame rate, near last in throwout % and his OPS is .250 lower than Diaz.

Baker knows this and still plays him for some fricking reason

He's a champion. I'll leave it at that. Might be hired as manager next year if ausmus passes.

Well, since the off season is starting today, let me be the first to bring up...

I am very much looking forward to robo-umps and being able to challenge balls/strikes. I went to a Round Rock Express game last Saturday and the new system was amazing.

There were 7 challenges to pitches, and all 7 challenges were successful in reversing the pitch call.

I’m stuck listening to the Orioles feed and the Orioles broadcast mentioned how Maldonado doesn’t hit and is the worst pitch framer in baseball and Astros fans are asking why is he playing before quoting Dusty Baker saying Maldonado is a “field general.”

Pretty bad whenever the opposing broadcast is legitimately clowning you.

Not really. Dusty makes it easy by giving them an endless supply of low-hanging fruit to pick.

Jim Crane is the clown. His mismanagement of the organization since November is the sole reason for the shite show. Everything stems from his crappy GM stint and empowering the utter buffoon manager.

Glad we benched Yordan today for a hitter who's much better than Abreu. FODB continues to hit on all cylinders.

I'd say you've jumped the shark. But that isn't good enough description.

You've jumped the Ryno.


No fricking way do we want Tito around this organization. He's Dusty, without the weed smoking.

Crack smoking*

Also Rangers winning. You can officially kiss the playoffs good bye. They deserve it.

I was just kidding. Larussa is the no-nonsense guy this team needs.
