    Partly, it was meant as a parody of all the other Grown Tired of Threads, but additionally, it has a bit of bite to it, don't you think?

    I mean, its been a while since the Astros had a division competitor worthy of contending for the division title.
    Ok, not worthy, but there in the standings where it counts.

    Consider the pitching they added, and this race could be heated. Plausibly, we may not win it.

    I have said from the start of the season they needed another starter to make up for the innings that Verlander AND for a while Odorizzi ate. They do need to go get Verlander it would help.

    Also going forward McCullers should be traded. He is too unreliable.

    So we should expect a half bag of Doritos in return?
    Not sure we need more Doritos.

    Good luck finding a trade partner to take on McCullers for anything more than a low level prospect.

    iirc, 2 out of the past 6 years, somebody finished within 5 games of us (I'm not counting 2020)

    Ump has given Max 4 or 5 free strikes and he still can't take advantage. 3-0 Chicago

    Luis Robert isn’t even in the lineup today lol

    Edit: Neither is Eloy Jimenez. They threw out a Dusty lineup today.

    Are the Rangers TV announcers as bad as I think they are or am I just being a biased hater? Watching on Bally’s right now and they’re almost unlistenable…
