I guess all these couch baseball experts know what's best for the #Astros when they traded two prospects for #JustinVerlander so the Astros can win another title.

Let me put into perspective for those that hate trading away uncertain prospects. In #Astros 51 year history this team has won 2 World Series championships. #JustinVerlander was a integral part of both of those teams. I don’t care about the future. We are in win now mode.
