    Lance with a fu-man-chu and the flowing locks would look awesome.

    I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand

    Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain

    He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's

    Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein



    You heard him howling around the kitchen door, right?

    ...
    ...
    ...and his hair was perfect

    The young outfielders haven't shown anything so far this Spring. One hit total between Dezenzo, Cole, Loperfido, Cam Smith...

    Not happening- Astros would have moved him for a really good reliever. They hoped the market would be good, and it was still lukewarm.

    JP throwing 92 mph is a good sign. That's how hard he threw before he got injured. We need pitchers that eat up innings.

    Meh his lower body looks really good. He wasn’t looking to strike people out or nibble. He threw the ball close enough to the zone to get swings but not many were great.

    Cole looks lost at the plate.

    Cam can handle elite velocity.

    Astros coaching looks like regular season ready - as there was poor base running and bad fundamentals.

    Typical recent Astros - pitching was excellent. Weiss showed some movement and good velocity. His pitch placement was excellent.

    Hitting struggled but whatever…

    Wish Click hadn’t dealt Abreu…. The Astros line up would be nasty, and Abreu could be an MVP candidate.

    There's a world where the Astros didn't trade Abreu for Vasquez and we didn't win the World Series.

    Vasquez didn’t win us a WS - but he did piss Maldonado off enough for him to play through injuries very few other players would play through.

    So there's that. Zoom way in to the scoreboard if you can't see those zeros.
