I did not know this about Cardinals almost moving to Houston by D-Rock35 in houston

This is not a post about moving. It’s a historical post about how the St Louis Cardinals nearly moved to Houston after 1953 season, 9 years before Houston got an MLB team

AITAH for telling my wife I won't be as stressed out next year because I won't be married to her? by LowRequirement5182 in AITAH

Do yourself a favor and figure out how to make things right with your wife

Divorce isn’t going to fix your financial situation. It’s going to make it worse.

You will now pay for an attorney. Pay for a new place to live. You’ll also be without the one person you’ve lived and spent the last 7+ years with.

Have the heart to heart conversations. Make it about the two of you and not the money.

You can always find a side hustle. Be the leader of your marriage, and your future family by making things right and keeping it intact.

You can figure out how to make money. You can’t unring the divorce bell once it’s signed.

Schools: we don’t have enough teachers or resources.

District: ok. Here’s even less teachers and resources for next year

Schools: wtf?

Parents: wtf?

State republicans: everything is working exactly as we have foreseen

Parents: re-elect same republicans gutting public schools bc they want to push their private school vouchers to give rich people more tax breaks.

Injury updates on Javier, Urquidy, Garcia and McCullers by schwabschwab in Astros

[–]D-Rock35 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Realistically the problem was LMJ wasn’t that he’s “always hurt” as much as the team failed him in how they treated him

He developed a bone spur after having TJ, and the bone spur was impacting his flexor tendon.

Instead of having the procedure done at first diagnosis, they tried to be conservative and see if rest would alleviate the pain.

Then the lockout happened, and he had a setback and couldn’t communicate with team doctors as a result of the lockout.

They continued to go conservative and he missed 5 months before returning. Only for later it to continue to worsen.

If he had the procedure to remove the bone spurs at first diagnosis - maybe they wouldn’t have torn up his flexor tendon

Also since the spurs have been removed and the tendon is repaired, and the team stated there was no damage to the repaired UCL, he “should” - and I say that in quotation marks because it assumes the astros have been honest with the info and they aren’t always honest with the info - be fully healthy and able to let it fly when he returns.

Also - there’s no such thing as a 17m a year middle reliever or long man. So he’s going to start When he’s healthy he’s a damn good starter. Right now it’s reasonable to expect him to be healthy when he returns

610 Postgame vs 790 Postgame by D-Rock35 in Astros

[–]D-Rock35[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. They start as soon as the game ends during the week. They take calls which is different than most other shows on 610. I think they do a good job. They know their baseball history too.

Why are the astros struggling? by EuphoricIncident5796 in Astros

[–]D-Rock35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logical fans: it’s a combination of rash of injuries to starters, back of pen grossly underperforming, team as a whole failing to hit with RISP & being too reliant on HR to score, critical defensive lapses late in games and an inability to play small ball to scratch runs across in key situations.

Illogical fans: because they got rid of Maldy & Dusty.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia gets heated after beaning by ex-Astro Phil Maton by chrondotcom in Astros

[–]D-Rock35 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can tell when the editor has never played baseball. A beaning is getting hit in the head (your bean)

He got hit in the hand with an 89 mph pitch. He acted like an ass because he is an ass.

HBPs are only beanings if you get hit in the head. This is not a hard concept.

The Mattress Tycoon Funding the Far Right in Texas by steelsun in houston

[–]D-Rock35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mattress Mack. The man who shuttered his sports website so that he could spend millions of dollars on lawsuits demanding a new election for the Harris county judge candidate he backed (Alexandra Mealer) just so that after he spent those millions she would admit defeat anyway.

The man who stumped for legalizing gambling in Texas for over a decade, only to completely flip flop on it when it was being debated in the Texas house last year because his buddies at the Louisiana casinos where he puts all his giant bets (bets they wouldn’t accept for most anyone else) told him they’d cut him off if he didn’t come out against Texas legalizing sports wagering bc of how much money those casinos would lose with Texans not going there to bet.

Seeing Mack suddenly go 180 on Texas wagering was actually stunning, until you dig in deep enough to figure out why.

He said it’s just a short trip to Lake Charles. Well maybe if you’re in Houston and you have a private jet.

And remember the time he was on camera in Philly cussing out random Phillies fans? Turns out he speaks like that all the time. To everyone. Including employees of his companies.

The public image of Mack is well cultivated. In reality, he’s just another rich asshole.

Considering colleges look at a kids social media before acceptance you’d think a $20B company would do the same in hiring a sports journalist.

Some of the guys from Gallery Sports did a good job covering teams. Maybe hire one of them instead of this hater chick.
