I was a kid when we celebrated the bicentennial. It’s really surprising to me to see how uninspired the country is for the 250th. There was red, white, and blue on everything…it was everywhere. Even as far back as 2001 we had a kindred spirit among people with opposing views. I think that the nonstop flow of hatred from the White House directed at allies, foes, democrats, fellow republicans, etc, combined with Trump’s cartoonish branding of anything American with his ironic last name have destroyed pride in the US. His supporters have confuse undying loyalty to a single man as patriotism and most people don’t want to be associated with that type of foolishness. Times were tough in 1976, also. You had high gas prices, high interest rates, conflict around the world, watergate was recent, etc… but Gerald Ford wasn’t sticking his name on every civic building in Washington, issuing dozens of daily attacks on anybody who disagrees with him, and lying to straight to our faces about the state of the nation… then calling us deranged when we point out the fact what he just told a lie. “Well, no one has been treated as badly as the Dumocrats have treated Trump, so…” Gerald Ford had two actual attempts made on his life… he just was just a decent person, unlike Trump. That’s the real Trump effect. The fact that since 2016, America has been polarized into two camps… Trump’s loyalists and the people that they hate… which is everybody else. And vice versa.

I haven't heard of any changes

Little more than just averages need to be examined when Nick Allen has a total of 11 hits on the season and is a career .214 hitter. He went 3 for 3 today with his first homer in 2 seasons to boost his average over 60 points. Yes, money was the issue and Dubon had to be moved to avoid luxury tax, but comparing these 2 guys is a stretch. My uncle says hello, btw.

I understand the numbers and why things are done, but the way I look at it, swap players and swap their money, but Atlanta was willing to pony up for Dubon. The stats show the Astros made the better deal, but it was a gamble just to save some bucks. Maybe this is why I’m not a general manager. Lol

Very true words

Nothing like a fact that hits the spot!

It was a joke, but nahhh, I’m an Angel

I do my know

Last known nuclear stockpiles in Iran per IAEA as of 2/27/2026: [Hidden Content]

Would this explain your position? [Hidden Content]

That is such a BS statement. I’ve seen grown men contort in agony over Biden, Obama, Clinton - worse than any contortion over the clown. And you call names. TDS is a loser’s dodge. A cheap bail.

Just go with wire service reports, Mat, and keep making up your own mind. All talking heads serve the dollar and the dollar only. They don’t care about truth, only spin and eyeballs. Conservatives, liberals, don’t matter. AP, Reuters employ reporters who have a code of ethics. Talking heads have no ethics.

The trade had more to do about the money being saved ($4.7 mil) and able to spend elsewhere.

Yes. But at the time Dubon IMO was the best utility man in MLB. Allen is good but was unheard of at the time. Just saying. Only 4.5 back.

This team is beyond repair smdh. Swept by the Angels 🤦🏾‍♂️

#Astros fans were angry when Dana Brown traded UT Mauricio Dubon for IF Nick Allen. These are their numbers for this season: Dubon: .265 AVG, .317 OBP, .717 OPS ($6.1M) Allen: .297 AVG, .366 OBP, .771 OPS ($1.4M) Its ok to love Dubon and not hate Allen or the deal.

If we don’t get the uranium dust like Trump has said then what have we accomplished besides making military contractors and oil & gas companies richer? Or am I supposed to be happy about that?

Maybe you gave your X wife a good reason not to be happy with you. You brought her into this, not me.

I used to say that but apprenticeships and technical certifications or trade schools show that you can finish something. The military is the same. Do people really need English composition, humanities and intro to science classes for most jobs? I would venture to guess that in a majority of jobs, a person who has done 4 years in the military and was honorably discharged (and probably has a learned skill) should rank higher than a person who has English Lit and consumer math with a sheepskin. Looking at google out of curiosity, up to 41% of college grads are not employed in a job that deals with their degree and 52% at least initially take jobs that do not require a degree. I didn’t dig into how many eventually gained employment in jobs that actually require a degree Obviously some jobs should require a certain level of education such as medical doctors, lawyers, school teachers, certified accountants, HR people, perhaps banking, etc. Other than those, I think the need for college is way overblown.

I think Peña is a huge part of that lineup. I like him better than Correa….sorry. Won this one without Alvarez and Altuve. Walker is amazing. Hope Alvarez comes back soon.

I’m not a fan of the higher education racket but admittedly, not everyone has the capacity to be a self learner and many fields require a degree.

We did not play our best game or series. But rogers played us tough and was here last year as well. On top of that they were a rival with us for years.

Not just in Silsbee. This is the new norm across the state
