Did I miss the Race for the Lid?

16 wins when Judge tests positive, and Manfred shuts the season down.

I think that was my first post exactly. I changed it before posting, though.

Great minds think alike! If we’re right, I’ll buy you an Astros mask.

Not sure if Craig’s 28 wins it?

I guess it was the closest in price is right rules. Historically we haven’t named a winner in sub.500 seasons, but they are in the postseason. Maybe we should extend the competition.

I defer to BudGirl.

If 28 is the closest, 28 should win it.

Congrats Craig.

Sad to see the exchange between Craig and Joey.

He expected the season to get shut down but who can say anything this year, except:

BEAT THE TWINS

Send a request to ETA’s wife giving him the win.

Oh man, I didn’t even remember that. This year sucks so much.

That’s a great idea.

We should send an Astros hat.
I’m happy to spring for it.

Maybe it’s just me, but that seems a bit inappropriate.

I agree. I know Joey loved the Astros, and the heart is in the right place, but that just seems tacky and tone deaf.

Fair enough.

I was thinking of a hat and a heartfelt letter from the community here but I defer to the group consensus.

that was my thought as well.

Again, I know you’re heart is pure on this, just seemed off key. Perhaps I’m overthinking it. I’m sure Jessica would appreciate heartfelt thoughts from his friends here.

I agree that it was well intentioned, and I think all of us sending or doing something (e.g. if they request a donation in lieu of flowers) is a great idea. Astros gear is just a bit patronizing, IMO.

I posted our feelings twice on FB. Those of you who use it can also.

I agree re no hat. A letter would be nice.
