2020 Houston Astros


Recommended Posts

Astros blew a 4 run lead late and lost 7-6 in 11. Pressly isn't suppose to be a closer. Devinski and osuna still on IL. Joe smith opted out for the season. No word on Verlander's progress. Springer should be back starting tomorrow. Injuries killing us, but so is the hitting. Only starter over .300 is correa. Don't even want to say how bad Altuve has been. Bring on the trash can jokes.

My old favorite hunter pence hit 3R HR in the 7th with 2 on 2 out for san fran.

I was hoping they could show some redemption and shut some people up. Their bats are supporting the claims.

Pretty mediocre it seems without cheating.  Been an Astros fan for years, but this makes those past couple seasons seem tainted.  Maybe when all this BLM 💩 is behind us, I’ll watch again!

After missing the beginning of the season and recovering from Covid, Yordan Alvarez returns with 3 R HR in first at bat.

Well that didnt last long. Baker reports that Alvarez will likely miss the rest of the season with right knee discomfort. This comes as the Astros are finally getting going and have a 6 game win streak.

I know 2 former HS baseball coaches that refuse to watch it.  Like it or not, it is an endorsement of a Marxist organization.  How about an anti-gang violence protest?  How about a protest of NFL players that physically assault women?  Nope, let's protest cops because of a very very small few that are bad. 

Media driven hysteria by the people that were once the most annoying students on campus.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
