Tilman killed the Rockets chance of winning when he decided to be a f***ing cheapskate in the middle of Harden's prime just after a conference...
I hear Daryl Morey may be available after this season. ;)
This sucks. I expect the Astros will get the baseball equivalent of the Colangelos who is owner/commish-approved but will run the team to the...
Current Astros (minus Cole) are still better than current Yankees imo (though for the rest of AL, they're 1 and 2). If they do get Cole or...
Which is funny because Morey would have been forced out the league the way Hinkie did. Can't be tanking Astros-style on one of the largest markets...
lol of course Trevor Bauer would chime in. Won't surprise me if the media starts running with the Astros are also doctoring pitches that he tried...

At least the Astros know he will pull a Kawhi. As long as Cole and the Astros move on quick so we could focus on the rest of the off-season.
I'm not harsh on the offense as others to where the Astros NEED to spend money/trade for an elite hitter. They'll still one of the best offenses...
And going in that series their two best pitchers were Tanaka and Paxton (ERA+ of 100 and 116). fml if the Yankees actually get good starting...
Baseball is a funny sport, wouldn't surprise me if the Nationals don't even make the postseason next year like what happend with Boston (NL East...
