    Really showing your youth by not putting Chris Burke on here (or the Ausmus one that tied Game 4 in the 2005 18 inning thriller).

    Would love to see Vasquez but isnt Maldy Framber's personal catcher and the one that helps him with the mental stuff now that Correa is gone?

    Yeah, that’s the other one I was thinking about posting even though the Mets went on to win that game

    Pretty sure Framber was dominant in his start with Vasquez when Maldy was dinged up.

    I've actually been a fan since about 77.

    I was trying to remember HRs from the 80s and 04/05. I would add those home runs to the list as they helped propel us to our first WS. I would not add Kent's HR or any of the Beltran HRs as they didn't ultimately get us to the promised land that year in 04 (such a shame).

    And certainly not a HR that was part of a game we lost. That makes absolutely no sense.

    That’s not what I’m saying.

    I guess you like the Astros more than the Rockets… that’s what I’m saying…

    Dodgers lost a game to SD in LA. Game 1 was great but we have work to do and focus on Game 2 and beating the Mariners in 2 out of 4 games- protect the home field - be relentless - don’t assume they’ll lay down - these guys will claw back and do everything to win. That Yordan yack won’t have the same impact if we can’t close out the series . Go ‘Stros !

    I used to like the Rockets back when Moses Malone was a phenom.

    Worthwhile? Better Sport? U are just using subjective words to show your bias for the Rockets. All i know is the sht stain Texans is worth more than either of the two Houston franchise even though Texans have been consistently dog sht for years.

    1.98 Billion

    https://www.forbes.com/teams/houston-rockets/?sh=721ac536202b
    2.75 Billion

    https://www.forbes.com/teams/houston-texans/?sh=705a6e771ced
    4.7 Billion


    Rockets are consistently solid, but have yet to win a ring in 2 decades. The Astros have been consistently good for a good stretch, reaching World Series twice the equivalent of the NBA finals and actually won one in 2017. Meanwhile the Texans is still looking for the manual on how to create a champion caliber team

    In terms of current success, it's Astros > Rockets > Dogsht Texans.
    Different stroke for different folks.

    U could say basketball is superior to baseball in terms of entertainment which is just an opinion influenced by your preference, but no fking way is the tanking Rockets better than the Astros team currently. Saying so otherwise is just flat out being delusional and disrespectful.

    I heard rumors there was another NFL team in town, but I never saw any evidence of it.

    That's cool. If an average dude like that catches a cool ball he deserves something. I have no clue what it's worth but surely they could work something out. Maybe tickets for the rest of the Playoffs. That said, Yordan may not care. Pujols didn't

    The guy is saying what I hope I'd say. But the lifetime of legal wrangling about easements would require me to convey the ball to Yordan as a loan for as long as he wants possession of it. This way, no one can take it from him nor can he be pestered about donating it to some charity who will auction it off.

    People are different. I'm a collector by nature (coins mostly), so it's hard for me to grasp not caring. But I'm aware some do not.
    My ICON is my prize. It is the obverse side of my rarest variety with this being the 11th known. It's the 1796 NC-2 which means nothing to 99.999% of the world.
