I heard that the guy who got fired from the Astros got his job because he was good at fantasy baseball.

I’da fired him cuz he looks like Don Jr.

so anyone who plays in multiple leagues is qualified? Good for finally acting, guy should have been fired on the spot. Good for AJ Hinch for acting like the adult in the room on a team whose media relations staff is regarded as one of the worst.

This is the part that is the most heinous and is going unaddressed. That press conference by Luhnow yesterday was pure garbage.

I was skeptical on the story until more info got out and man what a shitshow.  Apparently the guy knew whom the gal was because she always tweeted abuse activism when Osuna pitched.  

Another great nugget of info.  When asked if he apologized to her he replied "No, not yet." during the interview he did before he was fired.  SHE WAS IN THE ROOM DOING THE PRESS CONFERENCE!!!!

Correct. It's why the "fake news" term referenced above is so important in this story. Their revisionist's history on things can't be forgotten. They didn't initially apologize, they demeaned the journalists and made it a point to say when you want to get rid of something, or whitewash legitimacy, just shout that the reporter, and said report, is/are illegitimate. It wasn't until they had completely no where to go and they were basically called out on everything did they walk some things back, and ultimately fire the over-privileged douchebag. And furthermore, it speaks to the org's real view on all this, and how they really think, by how Lunhow responded and conducted himself.

The Astros are seen as an organization that is head and shoulders above everyone else in player development but last in crisis management, lol.

The "Fake news" thing.  Where was that ever said?

From https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-houston-astros-dig-a-deeper-hole-11572016969:

"A recap, if you’re behind: on Monday, Sports Illustrated published a story from baseball reporter Stephanie Apstein about an incident amid Houston’s ALCS clinching celebration, in which assistant Astros GM Brandon Taubman, taunted a trio of female reporters with loud, profane shouts in support of pitcher Roberto Osuna, whom Houston traded for as he served a 75-game suspension for violating the league’s domestic violence policy.

The Astros first attacked the Sports Illustrated report, calling it “misleading and completely irresponsible” and saying its executive was merely “supporting the player during a difficult time.”

“We are extremely disappointed in Sports Illustrated’s attempt to fabricate a story where one does not exist,” the Astros said in a statement."

Originally wanted the Stros to win but now with asshat assistant GM and Gurriel they can go screw. Wouldn't mind seeing Zim and Sherzer win.

What'd Guriel do?

That Astors exec is being investigated now so if he did anything wrong he will be gone.

Yeah, Yuli hasn’t done anything. You must be thinking of Osuna. I’m a lifelong fan of the Astros and won’t stop being a fan because of this exec/player. Unfortunately, these things happen on most professional teams these days. 

I know what you mean.  The Cubs owner is a fuckin Trumptard and on top of that looks like Ted Cruz's lost twin.  I loved the Cubs well before him, will love them long after as well.

I'm assuming JK is referring to Gurriel's slant-eye in reaction to Darvish 2 years ago.

Bingo.

It's a game of inches!  If the dewpoint was just a little different ... if the wind shifted just a little bit ... who knows?  That was a big game.

Hope they can tie up this series tonight!!!

Yes I did and after reading the story never saw a mention of the term "fake news" in the story which is why I asked about it.

Could be a smart move to fake an injury for Max tonight.  Need two more wins and I struggle to think Cole is not going to dominate tonight. 
Time will tell, I guess.
