Just after M's traded for Kevin Mitchell, slugger. Added to Junior, Buhner, Edgar. M's hired Billy Plummer, the lousy third base coach, as Manager. 1992. I was so excited, I got the 16 game plan! To build on Lefebvre's winning season! Well, Kevin hit out NINE homers, NINE! Dealt the next season. And...

Not that many mid 80s win team are in the thick of things, generally, it takes say, 90 wins. Agree with all of what you said. 90 wins is definitely the lowest bar you need to aim for and yet the Ms seems to set that to be the high level of their bandwidth target. Looks like they are happy with 82 (...

M's shelled out over $100 million each, what, 5 years? So Ryan choked in the playoffs, we all know about Castillo. Just a thought. I'm not convinced that the biggest budgets necessarily lead to great success. By the way, in the 4 games with Texas, M's pitchers gave up just 8 runs, with half, by Cast...

Of course, Castillo lost it all with the division on the line. And the flat Stros don't much look like a playoff team. But in all reality, the M's were fortunate to be that close that late. Not that many mid 80s win team are in the thick of things, generally, it takes say, 90 wins. But after all, th...

Stros won but they're Flat, M's are still alive!

Right, it was Black Jack. The greatest M's game I have ever seen. The 8 1/3 inning no hitter by Randy against the A's, broken up by Gallego of all guys, was damned exciting. I had nearly front row seats just past the first base line, shallow right field. He was The Guy I'd make a special effort to w...

Spectacular finish, like I say, this down to the wire AL West division race is unprecedented in M's history. JP is the MVP, great season. By the way, what was the count before that hit? Any of you guys going to the last 3 games, just curious? Count was 1-1, I believe. If they're still in it Sunday,...

We were in the right field stands when Edgar drove in Junior to get to the next round, I thought the stands were going to collapse! Off of Black Jack McDowell? Did Randy pitch in relief in that game? When he came in the atmosphere was electric! Even when we saw him warming up in the bullpen, it was ...

Stros are either gonna explode, or fall flat.
