Who's on the Astros bandwagon now?

Man that Angels bullpen sure does suck.

Not to break this up, but I can't even really feel happy about the win yesterday. The new Astros owner is such a douche bag and swindler. He has made some moves here and said some things in the last year that are real eye-openers. The worst in my mind is that he actually price gauged at the game yesterday. Really. A 200 loss team this asshole has the nerve to jack up prices on seats (and no doubt concessions) and then tells fans to fork up 10 million dollars themselves if they want a better product on the field. Then he basically tells Jim Deshaies, one of the best TV color commentators, and Larry Dierker (big fan favorites) to go fuck themselves and not let the door hit them on their ass on the way out. Makes me really start to not even care about them anymore. And that sucks because they're basically my favorite team of any sport I watch. I don't even mind that they're going to be bad this year and maybe next year too, cause they're going about the right way by cleaning all the garbidge and going really young instead of sucking really bad because they still have shitty contracts like Carlos Lee still on their pay roll.

Anyway, /rant ISHYGDDT

Don't give up man. It takes more then an owner. Like Angelos isn't the best owner. He's really hated in my city. Not by me though. What he did do right was hire a guy like Andy McPhail who built up our minor league system and went young. And then replaced him with Duquette of the same philosophies. Now we may never hand out a 120 will contract but these guys will make smart moves and get value for what we can afford. Like a hardy, hammel ..Bedard for Jonesy and Tillman. Happen to be working out. Buck wasn't a bad signing either.


Just hope your owner is smart enough to put smarter people in control. You can compete with a small payroll. Maybe not 27mill but still.

I've always liked the stros btw. From the caminiti, biggio, bagwell, bell days. Middle 90's.

Minute maid is a beautiful park as well.

[bone3421]

[Big Joe]

^ is it protocol for texas fans to cry around here?


I don't get it.

 

[bone3421]

why do consider posting crying?......did you have some typing mishap that now makes you thing of crying when you read text

 

[bone3421]

is your time going to be spent by making statements then accusing people of crying when they offer the counterpoint????

if so why even bother.....seriously

do you have any facts (i am going to say no since you couldnt even see the facts that romeo posted)....you are familiar with the stat WAR right??

[bone3421]

i dont like them either but numbers typically equate to facts.....so they work for the argument

and why dont you quit crying about smoke...jeez

 

[Big Joe]

My time will be spent here anyway i see fit lol

And what facts did he state?

Yes i know what WAR is.

And finally, what facts do i need? All i ever said was i personally feel Texas will have a down year. Call it a hunch for all i care. I know their roster. I get they have talent. I don't believe in them. I don't need facts to defend an opinion i barely care about lol

 

[bone3421]

then why are you crying about???

i guess we just were thinking you might want actually have a conversation on a forum...thats fine though you can just stick with the blind statements and then call the counterpoint crying


the facts he stated are plain as day....young helps the rangers be better just by leaving since he had a -2.7 war and hamilton was rated worse than tori hunter...like romeo said so that is 2 facts off the top of my head
