I heard a vicious rumor.  Two previous teams have swept the Divisional & League playoffs.  Both went on to lose the World Series.  Nonsense I say.  The 💩 stops here.  The Astros will prevail.  Here’s my thoughts - the Astros sweep Philly in four straight.  A feat never done before, nor likely ever to be done again.  Do it Astros.  Put an exclamation point on an outstanding season.  Eleven straight victories over the best MLB has to offer.

It's not a rumor. It's true. I think they could sweep Philly. Gonna depend on the weather when we get up north. Pitching will be questionable in the colder Temps. Good thing we have our roof. I don't see us losing to a WC team in best of 7.

Its a tall order for anyone to beat the Stros best of 7. Depth matters but underdogs can and will win at times. No one thought SD would beat the Dodgers. That said I think we simply overpower Philly.     

Speaking of underdogs, I guess Philly would meet the criteria.  But here endeth the unlikely.

Yepp, Houston won the WS in 2017 as the underdogs while losing in 2019 and 2021 as the favorites.

I blame this loss in Aggiesarewe.  He abandoned his team when they needed him he most….

It's my daughters fault and she is already hearing about it.

Plan on burning her pork chop and ribs.

Party starts at 2pm today but I told her I was leaving by 4 to go get set up for game 2.

Ole Mattress Mack got to be feeling better after Saturday night.

He has 10 milli riding on the Astros. The payoff if they win.....? Only the largest sports bet ever pay day a mere $75 million.😯

Gotta tip your hat to the man. He made his futures bet back in May!  The great odds he got is why such the BIG payoff.

    • 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.
