i have to think the trade talks have hurt quintana mentally

no real other explanation for this start for him

teams were already weary meeting a high asking price now quintana is underperforming

hahn better not sell low

if he cant get solid value its not worth selling at a discount just to make a trade
 
supposedly the rays were the team that was most interested in pujols when he was drafted

one of their lead scouts quit because they didnt pick him

he went in the 13th round to st louis and here we are today
 
seems like these world series hangovers are a real thing

the last 4 winners all missed the playoffs the next year

last time a WS winner made a return trip to the playoffs as defending champs was the 2012 st louis cardinals

2013 red sox

2014 giants

2015 royals

all missed the postseason

i dont think the cubs miss the playoffs but it goes to show that winning a world series is hard and nothing can be taken for granted because baseball can be weird
 
astros now 41-16

best start in franchise history

and its the best start by any team since the 2001 seattle mariners who started 45-12 that year

i see them trading some of their prospects for a starting pitcher and maybe some bullpen help -- you would hate to see some of these prospects go on to have a great major league career elsewhere but if the players in return help finally win a world series then it is worth it

its been over 50 years

its time
 
Bartolo Colon is officially washed, and of course the Larry Holmes disease fully sets in when he pitches for us. Coppy needs to cut his ass
