Let the irrational Trout trade proposals begin!

The Stros are way too loaded to be playing like this. I don't understand this.I would love to have Altuve, Correa, Springer, Gomez, Keichel, McHugh, and more. What is happening in the space city?

Their hitting has been very average so far and their starting pitching has struggled so far.

Wonder when they will call up Moran to play 3rd and for Gomez I think injuries are catching up to him.

Let the irrational Trout trade proposals begin!

I live just outside of LA and ESPN LA's radio DJs were already throwing out stupid Dodger/Angel trade proposals for Trout.

The best they came up with was:

Peterson, Urias, DeLeon, 1st rd pick and/orTrayce Thompson to Angels

Trout to Dodgers

 

[navamind]

ahahhahahahahahahaha

I just don't get why people think the Angels might trade him. Are people *that* stupid? And that would be a damn good package from the Dodgers, but still.

I need an Astros fan to take me up on a 1 week avi bet on the Indians/Tribe series that starts today.

I've been able to secure a bet for every Indians series thus far with the exception of the Mariners series, which is understandable because 98.2% of Mariners fans sit down to pee.

Don't let the Astros fanbase have the same reputation. . .
