how the eff can you discuss anything rationally if you actually love this team right now? being a fan itself isn't rational. loving something you have no control over is ridiculous. it's absurd. we're all total asses for caring enough to let it affect us in any way. i'm just soooo effing tired of hearing about "next year" in this city...and i don't want statistical formulas to tell me i should feel better about the fact my mother effing team can't stop mother effing losing.
Go drink a couple Founders Oatmeal stouts, slap the lasses arse and think about Correa and McCullers not being old enough to even drink.
if i smack ass i'm not thinking about baseball, fam. and i say that telling you there are just a few things in life i love more than astros baseball.
he moved up my favorite pitcher list big time with that comment. Roy O. is still number 1. He'd have shut that ish down last night. And we would have chipped in to buy him another tractor.
Absolutely nobody should be focusing on next year. It's about what went right or wrong this year. And what they need to do over the final 16 games. And if you love this team, there is a middle ground. You knew that tearing them down was the "right" thing to do, even though it made them a laughing stock. That's being rationale. And now that it's actually working, that may validate that they did the right thing. Of course, unexpected success followed by unexpected failure hurts a helluva lot more than any other possible alternative. This has been a huge optimistic let down.
I've been taking this out on Twitter the last few nights but you jackasses can't unfollow me. I guess you could put me on ignore.
The scary thing about baseball is that even if you think you're set for the future reality sets and you realize every year is a new year and anything could happen. You have to take advantage of opportunities now because you never know when they happen again. Astros as choking right now and who's to say they'll even be in contention next year. An injury here and there can set you back years. It's sad to see this team have this opportunity only to let it slip through their fingers.
I was LITERALLY named Most Optimistic my senior year of high school so this finish to this year can LITERALLY kiss my ass.
welcome to my world, fam. ex-effing-actly. that's why i'm soooo tired of hearing about 2017 and next year. i've seen teams in all different sports look set up for success. we were talking about the 49ers building a dynasty about 2 years ago. where'd that go? i've seen that too many times to buy into that. bird in the hand and all that...
...he played that well...about how I'd want anyone to play it. Be ready to pounce on 3rd if it eeks through, scramble back otherwise
This is why i don't like Hinch, 3 and 2, you have 2 very fast guys, and you don't start them running? Of course, double play, Hinch is a very bad manager, that is scared of the moment. We have the team, we don't have the manager.
