Pettiness is not a good look for you. 

Really dims the international man of mystery vibe.

A Few of my Colt .45/Astros personal memories from ancient past:

• Attended Grand Opening of Astrodome along with LBJ & Ladybird in attendance• saw “the Mick” hit 1’st Dome Run in an exhibition game on opening night 4/9/65 • Saw Stan Musial in his swan song year at Colt Stadium • Saw Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Curt Flood, Others in Dome• saw Sandy Koufax pitch 1 hitter  in Dome as Maury Wills stole a base in that same game • Listened on KPRC to Colt .45 pitcher Ken Johnson pitch a no-hitter & still lose the game • Saw Jimmy “the Toy Cannon” Wynn  hit a few home runs • At Candlestick Park I saw SF Hall of Famer Juan Marichal high kick fast balls galore beating the Astros & Houston pitcher Turk Farrell • At old Colt Stadium on a hot muggy mosquito-infested night saw SF’s Willie Mays & Willie McCovey play home run derby as they kicked the Colt .45’s butt 

Saw: Nellie Fox•Joe Morgan•Sonny Jackson•Bob Aspromonte•Bob “the Flea” Lillis•Jerry Grote•John Bateman• Jim Gentile•Jim Umbright•Larry Dierker•Roman Mejias•Nolan Ryan•Mgr.Leo Durocher • Broadcasters Gene Elston & Lowell “he breezed him one more time” Passe & so many others.

What do you mean “see” Jimmie Foxx?😳

I received a cigar from Jimmie’s  daddy upon his birth. They were all close personal friends of the family, of course.🤥

GMG!

  I hate this dude.   

 

I just hate the idea of technology running a game... and you know there's going to be a story about 5 years after robo ump's debut that some programmer modified strike zone code during games for $.

I hate that ump too.

if Bregman wasn't an Astro... i would hate him. can't argue with that.

Bregman's a douchebag, Gurriel is a racist, and Osuna is a woman beater and their management supports all of it. https://deadspin.com/report-astros-assistant-gm-yelled-thank-god-we-got-os-1839243880

Is there a more hate-able franchise other than maybe Yankees and their fans?
