  1. Not until end of August or September, I think ... right Van?
  2. Well, I own my place ... but the association rules prohibit this. Several years back when Chicago was in the running for a summer olympics, a friend of mine and I talked about it. She would have moved in here for the duration, renting out her place (because she could) and we'd work out a split. We wouldn't have been able to leave town. KEP!!!!! (this home run all-caps, exclamation points gets boring)
  3. He is on the 40-man as we had space so that was immediate. But he’s not yet on the active roster as I would assume they give players and teams some time to move. I mean it’s pretty unfair to ask a player to be in Miami in one hour when they’re on the west coast. What’s a team supposed to do, play with 24 players?
  4. Hmmm ... I don’t see either of those getting more playing time than cups of coffee next season. Maybe Rortverdt gets a taste in September, but he needs to added to the 40-man
  5. LaLaPalooza starts tomorrow ... so not looking forward to that.
  6. Who would our catchers be? Re-sign Castro with Astudillo the backup?
  7. Who asked the question earlier about why Garver and not Castro? That’s why.
  8. I think it's more that it's an unanswerable question without some direct input from Grienke himself. I mean, we can all throw out guesses, even plausible guesses, so I don't think anyone is really going to be able to even talk about it legitimately, and will only answer ... well ... emotionally, I guess? The shorter response is ... no one, except Grienke and maybe his agent, knows the reason
  9. Do we need to make that move right now, or do we get to wait until he's with the team? (Assuming he didn't get to Miami yet.)
  10. Dyson is a cat dad ... so that notched it just above acceptable.
  11. Okay ... that makes it a slightly better than acceptable trade deadline.
  12. Depends on how much fast food affects your system.
  13. Good morning, Dinger! Had your coffee yet?
  14. Well, we'll miss you around these parts! Enjoy Astros Daily!
  15. That's when being out of market is nice. I'll be listening to the Marlins feed tonight.
  16. Passions, emotions, frustrations, whatever … will be running high throughout the day, throughout the weekend, and maybe throughout the end of the season, depending on what is/isn’t done or does/doesn't happen. Whatever your feelings and opinions are, please, express them, as that’s what we’re here for and why TD exists. How you may choose to express them, however, is a different matter. We hope that no matter how angry or jubilant we get, no matter what we like/don't like, that the discourse still remains respectful and civil. What this means: -Don’t make things personal. Rebut the post without making generalized assumptions as to whom you think the other poster is, i.e. no mind reading, no assumptions as to character of other posters, no assumptions as to knowledge of baseball, no assumptions as to level of fandom. If you are unsure about a post directed at you as to the other poster’s intent, ask, don’t assume. -Don’t label groups of posters into categories and stay away from the name-calling and nicknames meant to chide, i.e. ‘Pohlad Pocket Protectors’, ‘Negative Nellies’, ‘drank the Kool Aid’, etc. -stay away from the ‘Pohlads are cheap’ type comments … like or dislike them, keep it on track - and stay away from the 'See, I told you so' types of trolling posts If some choose to take a less emotional path, or see less to be critical of, fine, they are permitted to express their POV as much as you are to express your anger and frustration. Again, we wouldn't exist if we all agreed and there was nothing to debate, discuss and disagree with. No one needs to resort to personal attacks, disrespectful bickering, uncivil dialog or trolling regardless of your opinions. If you feel something is amiss, please use the report function that is at the bottom of each post and give us time to sort it out. Do not attempt to deal with it yourselves. Lastly, if you and another poster just can’t get past one another, you have options … agree to disagree, ignore or walk away. Ongoing disagreement between the same posters devolves into bickering when nothing new is being said. Take a breath before you hit ‘post’ for one last retort and let it go. Thank you.
