    It's funny how it worked out because Crane came into MLB with all that baggage from his company. He's been fantastic and I can't say enough about him and his family. We have a relationship with the family and they have been really cool. I've got pictures of my brother trying on one of their family members championship rings in the Diamond Club seats. It was a Yankee game and I was at home watching the game and having a text battle with them talking trash about Fisher, Gattis, and Marisnick who were all struggling and I was pointing out all the guys in AAA raking. They gave the ring to my brother... took the picture and sent it to me. I guess that was there way of saying they know what they are doing, lol.

    I've been a hardcore Astro fan since I was in T Ball in the very early 80s. I've been to hundreds, if not thousands of games. I've seen it all, had my heart broken (sup 1986, 2015, etc) and filled with the most amazing joy I've ever felt for any team in 17. I've seen thousands of players and have had many favorites, but Bregman is honestly putting himself up there as my favorite ever (Sorry Billy Doran, my Astros buddy). The enthusiasm, the love of the game every night you can see, the social media, the personality of I just dont give a **** let's have some fun in this dugout. It's truly awesome to watch. I just wish we could keep this core of baseball only group together. I'll enjoy it while I can as I can guarantee we'll never have a team with so much personality but professionalism on and off the field. We are blessed.

    I might have been tempted to pull a Putin and just accidentally walkout with that championship ring. "I thought I had taken it off. my bad."

    I couldn't resist. I could have put up the text log but that probably would have been going too far. :)

    I doubt the thought even crossed his mind. All the free tickets and stuff have probably been worth more than the ring.

    Not sure exactly what you mean here. If you mean extensions, then perhaps.

    I doubted Jim Crane. I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. Great off-season.

    The last sentence stands out to me. Is he speaking in general terms or does he know of specific players being targeted via trade or otherwise?

    Long shot, but not a bad payout at 200-1.

    Not gonna lie, Marisnick is one of my all time favorite pro athletes and near the top of my “Guys I would trade places with in life” list. Dude is a joy to watch in the field and seems to have tons going for him off the field. “Game worn Altuve Jersey” is professional comedian level improv.
