AP Yahoo’s recap

This recap is a delayed live report from the Crawford boxes, where me and my youngest son (16) spent the afternoon sitting next to several healthy young ladies, so there might be a slight distraction factor. I did my best to visualize all the action, and I even glanced at the field occasionally. Oh, and I knew this would be a good game as soon as I walked into the park today, as I was met by TZ mainstay BudGirl, who gave me a big hug and filled me in on all the action I missed from the three games prior. They don’t make young ladies like that in my neck of the woods, those who understand & enjoy baseball on her level.Read More

We’re Gonna Chase Those Crazy Baldheads Out Of Town

After a mostly disappointing first half, the Astros play seems to be picking up quite a bit lately. The hitters are mostly hitting now, and the team is getting pretty good starting pitching on a consistent basis. I don’t think they are going to be an easy mark for anyone any longer in 2007.

Ask the Rukkakes. They limped in here on a 6-game losing streak, looking to get well against the woebegone home team. Not quite, ehh fuckers? The Phillies, pretend contenders, are rolling in Monday having lost three of four against the steM, and looking to chew up the Lackey ‘Necks from Union Station. Not so fast, assholes. You Phillie-fucks look like meat to me. Then here come the steM, after that. Fuck them. We’ll kick their asses, too.

We’ve just made the turn, into the second half of the season. In the first half, the Astros probably dug themselves a hole even they can’t get out of, despite their recent history. But they are beginning to play well with some consistency now. It may be the best we have to look forward to for the rest of 2007 is to be a spoiler to contending teams the rest of the way. If that’s the way it has to be, so be it. Bring them fucking on.Read More

Short(ish) recap of a long game

I thought I’d have about 2,000 words in me for this one, but work’s not letting up, so we’re going to come in a hair under this week. The poop snowball is really rolling downhill now, gaining velocity and mass, as the Good Guys got swept out of Milwaukee in 11 innings yesterday.Read More

Astros at Brewers – We Now Return to Overhand Baseball

Posted on June 25, 2007 by Craig in Series Previews

Miller Park

The Astros somehow managed to pull out a win Sunday in Arlington, despite a monumental bullpen meltdown. The Rangers’ radio announcers helpfully pointed out that the Houston bullpen has now blown more games than it’s saved. Anyway, the Rangers still put the Silver Boot up the Astros’ ass to win the pretend rivalry for this year. I’m sure someone somewhere keeps up with how the “rivalry” stands overall, but fuck if I know. Or care. At least interleague play is done for another year and we can get back to real baseball.

The Brewers are turning the Central into a sausage-fest this year and will probably win the division. Not because they’re very good … they just aren’t bad. Which unfortunately makes them better than anyone else in the division. Exhibit A: the bumble-fuck Cubs are four games under .500 and are still in second place.

The Brewers have won 9 of their last 11, and Prince Fielder is leading the league in homers (26) and RBI (61). Ben Sheets and Jeff Suppan both have eight wins.

So I’ve bitched and moaned about how I never get to see any Astros games because the fucking Rangers are always on Fox Sports. I figured at least I’d get to see a few games this series, but no, I only got the Friday ass-kicking. I’d have a better chance of seeing an Astro if he got demoted to the minors or joined the rodeo circuit.Read More
