Staff removed the XOFA gifs from the OP?!? Hope that's not a sign of things to come for the rest of the season.

Looks like it. Maybe we should have posted pics of shirtless dudes, they'd probably be ok with that.

I'll give them that at least they gave it most of the day for those who were good little minions and got on the thread when they should have!!

Here's to a new season.

A nasty back end of the bullpen and a less Dusty dugout bodes well.

Still, gonna be a little mad if the managerial change is the difference.

Upswing

J. Abreu, Playoff Pena, Montero, and Framber rebound.
Diaz and Chas produce at same level as last year as everyday starters.
Bregman has the contract year we expect.
Abreu-Pressly-Hader renders many games over after 6.
Yordan in the 2 hole.
Blanco and/or France turn in quality starts in April.
JV is JV and Altuve is Altuve.
Astros remember how to score runs at home.
King Tuck wants that extension. Now.
It really was Dusty and Espada is the antidote.
Return of Garcia and/or McCullers mid to late season adds even more to a great rotation and bullpen.
Nerds in the front office are listened to again.
Javier, Brown, Urquidy best 3-5 starters in MLB.
Meyers does more than Maldy at the plate.
Dubon, Caratini do their jobs.
Julks, Bielak are Space Cowboys all season long.
100 fewer lineup changes.
Health.

Then 110 wins, 8 straight ALCS, and a great shot at #3.

Joe Espada has me very excited for this season. But honestly, I think it's just dusty being gone.

Final Record 110-52
Division Finish: Winner? Runner Up? 3rd? Winner
How Does it End: Champ? WS? CS? DS? WC? Miss postseason? Champs
Team MVP: Tucker, runner up is Bregman. The guys chasing the $ turn in great seasons.
Team Cy Young: Framber, runner up is Hader. A potent offense without the disappearing act at home frees your #1 and closer to aggressively attack the zone.
Biggest Suprise(s): Pena, he climbs in order as season progresses. Another is Jose Abreu.
Biggest Disappointment(s): Diaz
A Random Hot Take(s): I think Diaz has a solid year but feels inevitable he won't be able to hit at same level as last year as everyday C. Another is the Espada Era starts off with a true bang, Dusty was in fact the cartoon villain portrayed on these boards, screwing up royally a team that should've won it all again last season, and Astros end up with best home record in MLB on their way to an 8th straight ALCS and their 3rd WS championship.

I saw a woman's shoulder and ankles on one. I immediately was shocked and horrified. From now on it must be slacks and turtlenecks for all

They did the same thing last year, but I did push the limit on the OP last year, this year I INTENTIONALLY chose gifs I thought would be okay, didn't show too much (except maybe the girl painting), and they still took them down. I am just going to post nuns from now on.

This does not bode well for any AOFA or TOFA for this season.

No matter what

Dont you remember 2018 season when after winning out first championship we were more concerned with what rangers were posting on their thread?

Oh, that didn't happen in 2018? Just a 2024 thing I guess

Seriously, is there a good alternative Astros board somewhere we could gather if the Ranger fanboys staff starts banning people? I'd like to go ahead and have it bookmarked.

My only observations because I usually only know what they post when y'all tell me on here.

But a quick glance: we really do live rent free, half the stuff they say we discuss I've never heard once, Dusty does suck, Maldy does suck, Diaz should have been playing, they are southern Oklahoma

And

Their season thread OP was one of the lamest most boring things ive ever seen. He practically had to explain the idea and it's supposed to be a recurring thought. This isn't some new thread no one has ever heard of FFS

Including Spring Training, Jeremy Peña hasn’t hit a home run in 358 consecutive at bats

When will he hit his first in 2024? pic.twitter.com/daffBWAgfq

That's not encouraging but spring training results are usually meaningless

Spoiler alert, you will. They hide behind anonymity and don't enforce the rules equitably. It is what it is.

I reached out regarding this issue, mostly just for clarification on what is and what isn't allowed. I also asked that they reinstate the OP so the images aren't blocked.

If they want to ban us posting sexy women, fine it's their board their rules, but I wish they could just communicate that so we all know

You're right tho, if each team's fans just stayed on their respective threads then NONE of this would an issue. They can't let us be, so why should we not return the favor?

Last year I invented a totally fake story about Suzanne Sommers being a huge Astro fan so I could post some hot pics of her after the news came out she had passed away.

Link to their thread was posted on our thread. I clicked it to see what was up. I had no idea it would lead me to the mentally ill board.
