    Oh so you don't mean by literally just making a bunch of noise (screaming, breaking stuff - etc.) because I KNOW the White Sox would win that one

    No I have no idea who's good in baseball

    I know a girl that dated one of them and she said their parties are crazy

    Yeah, Dusty should hit about .280 or so, figure about 22 home runs as well.
    Why would Houston have a chip on their shoulder? For getting caught cheating and stealing like a six year old with his hand in the cookie jar. Yeah, the Astros really got screwed man.

    Dusty Baker is a good leader of men. He is a guy who lets his players have fun and enjoy themselves. The Astros players are a close group, very cocky, but you can’t deny or not appreciate their genuine love of the game. These guys eat breathe and sleep baseball, all of them. As far as chip on their shoulder, they have ungodly talent these guys are fawking studs and then the media and the league wants to act like they only won games bc they cheated????

    I’ve watched a lot of baseball and these guys are extremely gifted whether they know what pitch is coming or not.


    Yes, Massive chip on their shoulders. I’m no Astro fan but look out.

    Their bullpen blows.
    Their closer was 3-12 last season.
    How does a closer lose 12 games? That’s difficult to do.

    Their top three relievers are:
    Colome
    Bummer
    Cishek

    Colome is a bottom tier closer.
    The other two set up men are hamburgers.

    Dude, get a clue.

    Iglesias.
    Sure I've seen him pitch a lot of times.

    But he doesn't pich for the White Sox.
    He pitches for the Reds.

    Dude not only did you get the team wrong, you got the league wrong.

    Please stop posting baseball.
    Your'e lack of knowledge is going to cost somebody money.
