"It was a tough battle, and I would have liked to win, but at the end of the day I am proud of what our team accomplished. We will work hard in the off season and get even better, and hopefully be back here next fall."
If I had a dime everytime someone said something like this whenever they lost a championship.
I don't know what's worse, the sports interviews themselves, or the sports reporters who treat their canned response as though it's breaking news.
I just don't understand MLB's logic letting someone play the World Series, but then suspends them to start the next season.
It was discussed ad nauseam earlier in this thread.
Go back and read.
tl;dr: He would have appealed it - as is allowed in the CBA - and would have been able to play while awaiting the appeal - as specified in the CBA - and the appeal wouldn't have been heard until after the World Series.
My local Academy got another shipment of World Series shirts today so I finally got one and they are still flying off the shelves. I hope they are tracking world series merch sales because I think it will easily be in the hundreds of Millions$
is this even English?
Eh. We were out there. My parents have had season tickets for more than a decade. I've been a fan my whole life, my earliest memories are going to the old dome and watching biggio and bagwell. That's actually how my parents knew I needed glasses, because I couldn't read the ads on the outfield walls or the scoreboard. I go to a couple games a year. I followed what they were doing with drafting and rebuilding. But literally couldn't watch them because of the whole fuck up with the rockets and Comcast sports network TV deal. I listened to them on the radio till this year when we resubscribed to directv.
But winning always brings out the bandwagoners, doesn't matter what city or sport.
Nice. Awesome pic. I really hate I couldn't make it over there.Well, that was an experience...
One of the many pics I took
Yes?
Also, I fucked up. It's swangas and vogues.
Houston has a lot of Astro diehards despite not winning a WS until the other day.
The only downside to their success of the past few years is that free tickets from vendors are a lot harder to get :D
no more 10 game for 20$ packages that got me through summers!
Based on the eye test of this 2017 season and the front office decisions, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that your takes were DEAD FUCKING WRONG!!!
OH-HOHOHO, OHHHH-HOHOHOHOHOHOHO~
