Urquidy, 30, began his career in 2019 with the Houston Astros. For the first five years of his career, Urquidy was a valuable depth piece for an […]
What a game from the short handed Celtics!!! I'm very surprised to see all the Ime Udoka hate from Rockets fans. I thought he was a decent coach. I'm very happy with Joe Mazzulla as coach and Brad Stevens as GM. The Celtics are in good hands. It's crazy how it seems like half the league has been traded over the past couple of days. It's amazing how many fans hate most of their players, their coach and GM. My favorites are in bold. Wha...
It’s starting to look like none of the parties will have a choice. The Astros have a logjam in the infield, that isn’t news. They have been open to discussions on both Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker, that also isn’t news. However, we are now 6 days away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring […]
Here’s a place to discuss NBA Trade Deadline Day. Will the Rockets be busy? It’s been a busy trade season, against the expectation of most observers. The Rockets, being hardcapped, will have difficulty making a trade, but it’s possible. Will Giannis be a Rocket? Will the whole roster be replaced with new, better, players? Stay […]
MLB News Roundup On the eve of the Detroit Tigers’ arbitration verdict with star pitcher Tarik Skubal, the team decided to go out and make a splash, further bolstering their rotation by picking up the best free agent pitcher on the market.

With all the focus on the offense right now, particularly what C.J. Stroud will do in 2026, it seems like a good time to take a look at the defense. Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans and defensive coordinator Matt Burke built one of the best defenses in the NFL last season. Along with secondary […]
Note: I’m writing this preview before the Houston Rockets take on the Boston Celtics. I’m also writing this well ahead of the NBA trade deadline, which is Thursday at 2pm CT. So if you’re wondering why I’m not talking about how the Rockets have traded for prime Hakeem Olajuwon or whatever, you have your answer. […]
The numbers say the Houston Rockets are a top five offense. The eye test says something very different. The Rockets shot 41 percent against the Boston Celtics, and on top of that, they were dominated on the boards by the Celtics, leading to an ugly 114-93 defeat. The Rockets were outrebounded 57-38 in reversal of […]

HOUSTON — At the Celtics’ team meeting on Wednesday morning, two-way player Ron Harper Jr. saw his name on the whiteboard. It quickly dawned on him: for the first time in his four-year NBA career, he was going to start in an NBA basketball game. “I knew I was getting a start,” Harper Jr. said, […]
Way back in November, the Rockets delivered a bit of a wakeup call to Boston. After the Celtics started 0-3, they won three straight against New Orleans, Cleveland, and Philadelphia and had started to figure out what their identity was going to be. Houston had other ideas and beat down Boston in a 28-point blowout […]
Just when it looked like the offseason might be over, Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg came through with a huge move that vastly upgrades the Detroit Tigers’ pitching staff, and gives them a strong second starter who can help lead the rotation beyond 2026. The Tigers inked long-time Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez to a […]

Baldy names 49ers’ top offseason priority to close the NFC gap “Defensively, you have to get a lot better,” Baldinger said. “Seattle’s defense is the number one defense in football (in points allowed).

Last offseason, it felt like the Texans had a very strong group heading into the regular season. You had Joe Mixon, who, when healthy, is one of the best running backs in the league, penciled in as the starter. You also drafted a young, promising rookie in Woody Marks out of USC, and added a […]
Admit it… Some part of you wants it. Some flames never die. Some memories gradually fade into the abyss. Others are visceral. You could reach out and grab that moment. Your instinct is to re-live it, because psychologically, you never stopped living it in the first place. James Harden. The Beard. Based on demographics, the […]
I believe Houston needs to move on from their CF. Astros fans, here I am again, the voice of reason. A few weeks ago, I floated the idea that it might be time to trade Jeremy Peña. Now I’m back with another uncomfortable but necessary conversation: the Houston Astros should seriously consider trading Jake Meyers […]
The deal now gives the Astros, or any new team, two years of cost certainty. Earlier today, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reported that the Houston Astros have come to a contract agreement with 3B Isaac Paredes on a 2-year, $22.7M deal. This deal having a second season with a club option (unless he finished Top […]
