Aaron Judge in a big spot in Houston

I regret to inform you that tonight is a Scott Foster game

You didn't feel that way about Rockets-Spurs?

(Don't answer that.)

Kirk hits into a crushing double play, who could've possibly seen that coming

It looks like Jarren Duran would be really good at this ballpark

Well, in fairness I guess he *could* — but then he’d get raked over the coals like Rafael did. Just sorta damned if you do, damned if you don’t when it comes to discussing big-picture stuff, in season. Awkward.

Right but he can’t say that in his position. Got to try to maximize what he has

On a personal note, my last 30 hours have been hell because I went for a rage run after that Mizzou/Arkansas game and quickly moved some Amazon packages inside without thinking, and Truman broke one open and ate an entire bag of dog treats.

He is built different, put him in

Put them in. It’s time.

The team at No. 2 in the Wemby draft was Charlotte, which has broken .500 once in the past 10 years and hasn't had a 50-win team this century. I wonder what they think about the suffering of five lean years for fans of a franchise that had just won five titles with a Top-10 all-time player

My outlook on all this has forever changed after the sanctimonious, holier-than-thou nonsense about the Astros since November 2019.

Yeah, I'm happy to roll with the punches and say "whatever happens happens, that's life" when you all do

"So glad to see this building alive again."

This is just insane mental gymnastics. There are NBA markets that have done almost nothing for generations, meanwhile this one has had five lean years coming off one of the most dominant 20-year runs in the history of sports

the arc of life is long and it bends away from Houston

It’s absolutely wild to watch the mental gymnastics people do — in sports and beyond — to minimize the role of blind luck in life. It’s massive. Some people, and cities, just don’t have it. #HoustonSports

(This is no criticism of Dunots, I know he gets it.)

(Because they lucked into two Top 2 picks, one of them maybe the most generational prospect in sports history. Almost immediately after a 20-year run with a Top 10 all-time player that they also lucked into.)

Somehow I didn’t think of a Biden 46 jersey, that’s on me, I’ll try and be better next time

Arson Judge would’ve homered

Best moment involving Kyle Schwarber in this ballpark since he bunted

#IYKYK

Team USA should paint the batter’s eye darker IMO

James Talarico is playing for Great Britain? SMH

Skubal is washed

To clarify, from what info I have, I actually don’t think the Rockets would’ve taken Henderson in this alt reality. Either someone else or a trade. But regardless, much worse than Amen I would think

World Series back on

Great to see you!

However down you might feel about the Rockets, just imagine if Portland had picked Amen Thompson and not Scoot Henderson.

Things could definitely be worse

To me it all traces back to the complicated fit of Amen-Reed-Şengün long-term. I hope to be wrong but am growing skeptical that you can maximize all of them together

And if you can’t, we don’t have a Wemby or Cade to overcome

I am not opposed to starting Reed Sheppard, but the fan obsession with that is disproportionate to this team’s problems

Nothing is more #HoustonSports than Kevin Durant, one FT to tie the game with 30 seconds left against the Warriors, and it's a brick.

I didn't think the shot clock would reset after a jump?

As punishment for all Steph Curry did to the Rockets, it's only fitting the NBA gave the next one to Houston
