MLB 2022 Season: Houston Warship: Go Phuck Yourselves

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Aaaaaaaaand...down goes Cleveland! Who's your daddy, JOSH?!?

Oh, and somebody should probably telll Bob Costas that the Yankees DID win the World Series more recently than 2000.

It's blocked behind a subscription only paywall, but according to the headline in The Denver Post, "Charlotte's Web", based out of Denver, CO has become the official CBD supplier to the MLB.

CBD doesn't get you high.

I don't believe that is how CBD works. I believe it has no THC, and is useable even in states that still have marijuana illegal, like my home state, or can be used by federal employees, like my employer.

Astros take one from the Yanks.

 

[Mirror Tuvix]

The Astros are the "plucky underdog" here as the 9th-highest payroll squad, with the other remaining teams all being top five in payroll.

Ohtani may have had enough of the Angels...

They're wasting his career anyway.

Padres or bust.

Padres or bust.

The best thing about that NLCS is it's two underdogs and I'm fine with anyone winning. I'm rooting for the Padres, but Harper deserves a ring too.

While I'd love to see the Phillies win, I'll also be satisfied if the Yankees lose.

Bruce Bochy is the new manager of the Rangers.

I wonder what coaxed him out of retirement.

$$$

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

So the Rangers could afford to pay him more than the Giants could? I'm finding that difficult to wrap my head round...

 

[Aragorn]

Yikes. Both starting pitchers in the NLCS game were pulled in the first. First time that's happened in 90 years.

Astros: Yankee Slayers.

I think it's more that Bochy wanted to take a few years off, recharge his batteries, and wait for the right job; when his former player said, "Hey, come be my team's manager," he felt he was ready. Happens a lot, really. Buck Showalter always takes a few years between gigs, for example. Tito Francona took a year off before going to Cleveland, same with Bob Melvin before he went to Oakland.

The only managers in recent memory I can recall who have retired and actually stayed away are Davey Johnson and Jim Leyland. Well, Bobby Cox, but he went and fucked around in the front office for a few years after he retired, and he's a wife-beating piece of shit so fuck him, anyway.

This nation owes the Astros a debt of gratitude for keeping the Yankees out of the World Series three times in six years.
