    Nutty putty cave incident is beyond terrifying.

    Yes, dammit, I know.

    Can we talk about something else? :)

    The Astros are 19-12 when Jose Abreu isn't on the roster.

    No, but Astros can drive in more runs.

    As best I can tell, the Stros were 12-18 when Abreu started at 1B

    It's ok, just means you're not dumb enough to ride a hobbyist submersible guided by a gaming console controller nearly 3 miles to ocean floor.

    James Cameron, our greatest pioneer (insert South Park song here) who has been to the bottom of the ocean more than any other human, he said:

    Ha! Brilliant film maker and writer however. I'm more of a Jacq Cousteau guy, I really enjoyed his show as a kid.

    Cousteau was a huge part of my childhood. Same with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. That's a woulda/coulda/shoulda thing that I wasn't serious about until I got older and it was too late.

    Perhaps -- but maybe more so... 1) Jabreu's Guinness suckage has exited and 2) Pressly has finally accepted his demotion.

    The recent success has come with both those factors despite the team being more injured (JV, Javier, and Tucker) than previously.

    Heaven help us if Verlander and Bloss -- or anyone else -- have major injuries.

    My closest call was in a cave near Cayman and as I got to the exit tube on the ocean floor, which you could barely fit through, I couldn't move. I was just stuck. Couldn't go forward. Couldn't go backward. Diver Stress. Body control did nothing so I started kicking and doing everything in my power to exit the death trap. It sucked. Nothing worked. Breathing rate was getting faster. Conditions had turned on me. The line of divers behind me was stuck in a long line too, and my stress was making the water extremely turbid. Not a good situation. Anyway, the diver behind me tapped me to calm me down, did some work, and suddenly I released through the cave exit. He told me on the surface that my line was tangled on the tunnel ceiling, and he had to untangle it. So yep, that happened.

    But last I heard is that we cannot expect McCullers/Garcia until well into August? Was that erroneous?
