    Going through old pics because of the death of my grandmother / mom and came across this -- 1996, my son's first Astros game.

It’s a consistent theme in the awards this year. Did Showalter win in NY because he’s a better manager than Snitker? Obviously not, the Braves won the fucking division. He won because what preceded him has been such a shitshow that he looks like a genius in comparison. Not how it’s supposed to work. 

People dunked on Dusty for never winning a world series yet here's Buck with ZERO playoff series wins in 21 years. 

Who gives a fuck we got the only reward that matters!!😝

It’s a consistent theme in the awards every year.

 

Go look up who won AL manager of the year the first time we won the World Series

(fyi, feels good to say that—“the first time”, e.g. more than one)

Spoiler

Paul Molitor and the Twins… who improved on their 2016 win total by TWENTY-SIX games to finish with a whopping…..85 wins in 2017.

He won the 2014 ALDS with the Orioles and a couple of WC games in 25 years but I get your point. 

Showalter must be a great manager because teams win as soon as he leaves.

I bet he has a well above average spin rate on his slider.

Would rather have Stone Cold Steve Austin

I’m looking forward to his 0.00 playoff era

Yeah the same as yours and mine cause he will be on his couch

Boston was so disparate for pitching, they gave Michael Feliz a shot last year.

2022 surly thread : why does dusty hate stanek ??? Fire dusty !

2023 surly thread : why does dusty hate stone cold Austin Davis ??? Fire dusty !

Congratulations to him.  He changed the trajectory of the franchise in 2017, and he made an amazing comeback this year.  If he doesn't come back, then best of luck unless he goes to a douchebag team.

Verlander fucks

Mmmm....not good from the spin rate standpoint but doesn't give up hard contact.

They should have been tied for 2nd, imo

at some point in august mcclanahan was jv's top threat and didn't even finish top 5.

Well I certainly hope no one was actually holding false hopes of him giving the Astros a “discount” but if you were, that’s certainly out the window.

Showalter was a dick to me when I went in the Nashville Sounds’ clubhouse in 1979. I was nine years old, looking for autographs. And he flat out told me no and glared at me like Mean Joe Greene did to that kid in the beginning of that Coke commercial, only Showalter did not suddenly soften and toss me his game worn jersey. 

Tl;dr Buck Showalter was a dick to me 45 years ago and probably should be banned for life like Pete Rose.
 

I mean, dude was about 30 and a .280-hitting 1b/DH with warning track power at best sitting there big-timing little kids. 

And haha that Sounds team had two future MVPs in Mattingly and Willie McGee, neither of whom were dicks.
 

As for Buck, his name should be xxxxAlter because he never made the Show, not for the Yanks or anyone else. And he’s from a Florida panhandle shithole that isn’t even on the beach. 
 

Tl;dr II: Showalter ain’t shit. 

 

 

Kids suck so I don't blame him

Get that open star Astros logo bullshit chains away from our players. Drayton McLane and his open star logo, Junction Jack and the pinstripe jerseys can all go to hell. Only rock the H-star logo. Drayton’s shit is associated with playoff losses not championships.

Pretty disturbing that JV hasn't spoken to Crane since the last time they spoke.

And that's fair. He's also a douche to have the umps check Musgrove for a foreign substance to distract from having the Mets' collective britches yanked down in the playoffs. A thoroughly unlikeable guy.

Counterpoint - he was open-minded enough to take feedback he received related to uniform fabric and make the necessary recommendations in an effort to ensure the comfort his players. He can’t be that unlikable.

Anyone else purchase game 7 tickets through Astros.com and still waiting on the refund?

They canceled Elton John tickets in early October.  Weren't doing refunds until 11/18

Pedro Leon off to a hot start in winter ball. He’s only had 10 ABs but he’s slashing .400/.400/.800 with a double,  a HR, a steal, and an assist. And he’s Cuban. Jake needs to  👀

It was cancelled 10/17. I don’t really count that as “early October” but yeah, a month gap is a bit excessive.

pretty sweet gig to hold on to all that money for that long in today’s interest rate environment.
