    Last year, I believed this. Would be pretty ballsy with this tight of a race.

    Works for me. If we don't get some offense going we are going to see Oakland pass us like we are driving a used Ford Pinto.

    This is obviously just spitballing but I'm guessing cartillege problems in the knee that get scoped about a week after the season ends or so. Seems like the kind of thing that would be manageable and that you could play (with pain) thru, but you wouldn't want to do it too long and you'd only want to do it at the end of the season, after rest, for as short a duration as possible.
    Seems to be too long an issue to be a bruise, and 2 short to be a major ligament type deal that would likely require surgery.

    I am thinking more and more this may be the case. To say "Altuve may play the rest of the season with knee discomfort..."

    What possible reason would the team have to say this publicly, other than giving our competition a false sense of security?

    Terminal A or Terminal C?

    BTW, the best Popeyes I've ever had in my life was in Terminal C, but they moved it

    And here’s I’d assumed when they said slight leg discomfort we might need to amputate. Messed up thumb is better than a peg leg I think. I kid I kid.

    At this point I’m more likely to believe this guy than anything coming out of the Astros camp. They have downplayed damn near every injury for some inexplicable reason.
