    Home is where the heart is, and I’m sorry to tell everyone here but it’s not Houston

    I lived in California for two years, and cannot stand the people there. I wasn’t making $300 million though

    When he said that he wanted to go home with nothing left in the tank. He meant California not Houston

    I don’t understand wanting to go play for the Angels, close to home and filthy rich, but no chance at winning.
    He can be rich wherever he goes

    Can't we get rid of ZG and Reddick and keep Cole?

    The Astros will let him walk. They don't want to be a dynasty when they can make more profit by just being good. Why try to be the greatest?

    He’ll cost a lot, but he’s incredible and probably has, what, 5-7 good years in him? I’d hate to have to face him on the Yankees or Dodgers. Ugh.

    If so he’ll watch the playoffs from his couch for the term of that contract.

    I lived in Texas for 25 and dealt with racism on a daily basis in high school (try being brown in Texas on 9/11), being in CA for 7 years I find the people more accepting and it to be a much better place to raise a family (you can actually do things outdoors without suffering from a heat stroke). I now live in the city that Cole grew up in, and I can't see myself leaving.

    I couldn’t stand the fact that everybody in Los Angeles thought they were somebody when they were not

    A lot of that, its fun to call them out though. Newport is different,but can be pretentious as well though.

    I spent about 8 years off and on out there while in the Navy and couldn't wait to get back to Texas any time I could get away. I wasn't making 300 million either.

    Whatever happens... I do not think Gerrit Cole will ever have another season greater than what we all just witnessed.
