    No, lol. Avoid short series at all costs! Plus, this team needed the break to set its rotation. Their pitching isn't as deep as it's been. Lastly. I have no idea why they haven't been winning at home - but it's almost certainly a weird, unstainable anomaly and I don't suspect it'll be a factor in the postseason.

    The Oklahoma/Dallas Rangers went 50-52 in their last 102 games.

    She's their field reporter like Julia is for us, but harassing is not a good look for our fanbase.

    Emily Jones worked in Houston for awhile. No other comment.

    Yah, a small base of the fans can be quite shtty and ugly. Some people are just not good and have no control. No need to personally attack someone online like that.

    But what I hate the most is when people lump all fans into a group because of the actions of a few dumbasses. Every fan base of those people.

    What was the error that the Astros reporter made? Who was that reporter? Was it Chandler Rome?

    I think all the baseball media needs to be rounded up in a barrel and tossed over... plenty of this is either self-inflicted, instigated by bad/lazy/bias driven reporting, or in the case of the cheating scandal... escalated merely to continue to get web hits/clicks and keep the Athletic in business.

    A dude with a whopping 61 followers is out here telling a fan base to issue an apology.

    Twitter really having folks acting like they're in a position of power and relevance. LOL

    Just a bunch of dumbass fans pissing at each other. No telling if any of her past posts against the Astros caused some of it. In general, the media needs as much s**t as we can throw at them for being such click hungry greedy bastards. That being said calling a woman a Skank is childish and hurtful, but the dumbasses that do it because they are dumb and asses.
