The movie Eight Men Out was on TV tonight, and I watched it. Again. This movie is the story of the 1919 World Series and the Chicago White Sox, later known as the Black Sox, who conspired with gamblers to fix the Series. Watching Eight Men Out reminded me of Ted Williams.Read More

I promise this has something to do with baseball, and not just my children. Bear with me.
I have two children. Austin is my daughter. She’s 15 and she’s Ivy League smart, very pretty, and very talented. She is more fun to go to a baseball game with than anyone I know. She yells with joy at every strike and despises the wave. Read More

Of Gonzos Past?
I’m not much of a crier or a weeper. As a bit of a throwback in the sensitivity area, there isn’t much in sports that moves me to the point of tears anymore. The Astros haven’t won anything of significance in well, forever, so I can honestly say, baseball wise, the last time I got visibly emotional about the game was either the Astros/Mets playoff series or Cal Ripken setting the perfect attendance mark to end all perfect attendance marks. Probably the latter.Read More

Wow… nothing like an Astros playoff game to suck your scrotum into your stomach and make you lay in a fetal position all afternoon.

If the Astros are able to hang on and make the postseason, no player will be more important to their chances in the playoffs than Shane Reynolds.Read More

At 9:10 or so tonight, Roy Oswalt will throw a pitch to Marvin Bernard. At about 9:10 tonight, as an Astros fan, I’ll be able to get back to some normalcy, or as much normalcy as pennant races usually allow. As an American, I don’t know when that process is going to start. I’m hoping, like a lot of people, that the baseball will allow me the release of not thinking about the victims still buried at the World Trade Center or that World War III might be around the corner. I have my doubts that it will, but at this point I’ll take what I can get.Read More
