    A crappy hairband.


    You are 49, you really should know this.

    Assuming we make the playoffs and assuming Verlander is healthy

    Is this pitching capable of leading us to a title?

    Verlander, Blanco, Brown, Framber

    Abreu, Pressly, & Hader?

    What's the lineup? Altuve, Bregs, Alvarez, Tucker, Diaz, Pena, Meyers, Singleton, Chas???

    Only the Phillies score more runs per game at home than the Astros.

    We need another starter. I personally like Fedde or Quantrill.

    We need at least one solid late inning relief pitcher. Maybe another middle relief.

    The batting is fine. We don't need a bat, although I'm sure they'll consider adding a veteran bat at 1B for insurance. Think of a move like 2022's Trey Mancini.

    Yes, I'm almost 50.

    I've never heard of this band. Sorry.

    I've definitely heard of better ones.

    Red Sox lost.

    Astros are just 1 1/2 behind Boston and KC for the last WC spot.

    Twins losing 3-0. We could be only 3 behind them.

    Seattle just got tied up 4-4, 5th inning.

    It’s ok to know of shitty bands of your youth. It doesn’t take away your cool guy badge. At that time, hairbands were huge. Did we actually like any of them? No. We had to go back to Zep, floyd, Yes, Rush, Tull etc to find cool music. The late 80’s and very early 90’s were horrible for mainstream rock n roll.

    That's crazy, you post like you're 67.

    Anybody else shocked he's only 49?

    Nobody in the major leagues is averaging 5 runs per game.

    I would like to know the last time that's happened.

    Research says 2014 when the Angels led the league with 4.72 runs per game.

    In 2022 only the Dodgers averaged 5 runs per game.

    The only hair band I could even tolerate was Whitesnake, but that's because of Mr. Coverdale's insane vocals.
