    ouch. I liked growing up there. I guess it’s not for everyone.

    whelp -,Dana Brown is officially on notice ! Kind of a dumb comment to make if still negotiating. Also - if he doesn’t deliver now then he should be let go. This is the kind of deal you have to stake your career on otherwise what good are you as an ineffectual front office person?
    I’ll remember. All I’m saying is you can only talk so much - I hope he delivers.

    Not really. Not at the moment. You cannot keep losing your big-time players without replacing them. Tucker and Alvarez are your present and future.

    They are only expendable if you have something behind them. The Astros don't. You want to extend your windows as long as possible, with no lull in-between.

    If they're not locked up on Tuesday, then they're gone on Thursday?

    Oh you know exactly what goes on in here, 1st innning we go down 2-0 and it was automatic apocalyptic death sentence posting. Granted they all stayed around to b**** and moan so they got to see the come back so there's that......

    The tip he dropped I thought was going to be the out AND then the tapper/dribbler up the 1st base line I thought for sure was an easy out. Ya gotta have things fall your way to have a moment like that and they did....

    Abreu is kind of pitiful. Is he injured? Needs glasses? Forgot how to hit? Can't find a shirt with buttons? Too cheap to buy chains?....

    We don't need minor league prospects "at the moment"

    They were criticized for not doing it, but I think they didn't want to give up any of their prospects - this year is a dry run for the team and next year and once they have a better idea of what they need, they will likely make trades.

    The Orioles are the 2015/16 Astros, more than any other team is.

    Kyle Tucker is 26 and getting better.

    His contract is going to give Crane a stroke.
