Astros at Tigers – Time to Turn the Tigers into Butter

Posted on June 26, 2006 by Craig in Series Previews

By Craig Elliott

The Astros managed to win only one game in Chicago, after blowing 15 leads and giving up 10 grand slams. At this point the bullpen is melting down faster than a Willy Taveras thread on the Talkzone. The ‘Stros are still 5 games back of the Co-Ards, despite St. Louis losing six in row. But those Jake losses were also to the White Sox and the Tigers.

The Tigers have the best record in baseball and are just ahead of the cocksucking White Sox. Detroit just swept the Co-Ards, and they’re 16-7 in June. Third-baseman Brandon Inge leads the team in homers with 16, but Magglio Ordonez and Marcus Thames each have 15, and Chris Shelton has 14. Kenny Rogers has 10 wins, and Todd Jones has 20 saves.

When:
Monday, June 26, 6:05 p.m. CDT – FSN
Tuesday, June 27, 6:05 p.m. CDT – FSN
Wednesday, June 28, 12:05 p.m. CDT – FSN

MLB Extra Innings – Monday’s and Tuesday’s games will be on the Fox Sports Detroit affiliate, and Wednesday’s will be on Fox Southwest.

Where: Comerica Park

The Tigers are 23-14 at home, while the Astros are 13-20 on the road.

Astros Pale Hosed in Chicago

Posted on June 24, 2006 by mihoba in Game Recaps

Flash back to October, a big home run by a slap hitting White Sox outfielder, only this time it was a grand slam as the Astros lost the first game of the weekend series 7-4. Read More

Astros at White Sox – Rounding Third, Headed for Homo

Posted on June 23, 2006 by Craig in Series Previews

By Craig Elliott

The Astros just don’t seem fully involved in this dumbass interleague shit, having dropped series now to both the Royals and Twins. And now they have to face the two top teams in the softball league – Chicago and Detroit. But hey, Roger Clemens is back! Go buy a #22 T-shirt, damn it.

The White Sacks are a half-game behind Detroit, and they just swept the Jakes. But the real news has been Ozzie Guillen’s ongoing freak show act and meltdown. Don’t be surprised if during the All-Star Game, Guillen orders a beaning and doesn’t get it, so he tries to send another team’s ace to the minors.

When:
Friday, June 23, 7:35 p.m. CDT – FSN
Saturday, June 24, 12:20 p.m. CDT – Fox
Sunday, June 25, 7:05 p.m. CDT – ESPN

MLB Extra Innings – Friday’s game will be on Fox Southwest, Saturday’s will be on Fox, and Sunday’s will be on ESPN.

Where: US Cellular Field

This weekend the White Sox will be sponsoring Fag Night, where 10,000 lucky fans will get a free reach-around from Ozzie Guillen. Plus one lucky homo will get two autographed balls (his own balls, of course), a shit-stained copy of the Chicago Sun-Times that Pierzynski wiped his ass with, and of course, an inadequate mumbled apology from Bud Selig.

Sox fans should also watch for exciting upcoming promotions, which include Hugo Chavez Appreciation Day, Shake My Goddamn Hand Night, and a Venezuelan Pinata Fiesta, in which blindfolded fans try to bean Ozzie while he screams and calls them faggots.

Astros rally to win, Rajah on deck

Posted on June 22, 2006 by mihoba in Game Recaps

Adam Everett pounded a pair of run-scoring doubles, including driving in the tying run in the seventh after an 11-pitch battle, to lead the Astros to a 5-3 victory in the middle game of the interleague series against the Twins at Minute Maid Park. Read More

Twins at Astros – What Do You Mean You’re Packing a .22?

Posted on June 20, 2006 by Craig in Series Previews

By Craig Elliott

The Astros just lost a series to the Royals, and are seven games behind the Co-Ards. But never fear Astros fans, because it’s time to buy shit! The Orgy o’ Roger is pulling into the station, and there’s someone in your family who doesn’t have a #22 jersey yet. Or at least one of the neighbors.

The Twins are at .500 but they’re already 11.5 games behind the Tigers. They’re on a seven-game winning streak, and have won 9-of-10. They just swept the Pirates, right after sweeping the Red Sox. Catcher Joe Mauer is leading the majors in batting at .380.

When:
Tuesday, June 20, 7:05 p.m. CDT – FSN
Wednesday, June 21, 7:05 p.m. CDT – FSN
Thursday, June 22, 7:05 p.m. CDT – FSN/ESPN

MLB Extra Innings – All three games will be on the Fox Southwest broadcast. And Thursday’s game will be broadcast worldwide live on ESPN, so that even African tribes and Euroweenies can see Roger pitch. Even if it interrupts their little soccerball tournament. (Though I must say I enjoy Limey’s World Cup updates; when the finals roll around, I’ll know who to cheer for.)

Where: MMPUS

The Orgy o’ Roger will finally arrive at Minute Maid in a stunning burst of pure marketing energy. Yvette won’t be able to go on-camera because the brilliant radiance of her Inner Marketing Synergy will cause her to actually glow. She’ll be cooled off by 22 interns, who will fan her with rhinestoned pink towels from the Debbie Clemens collection.

And, hey, look, it’s also UT Night when Roger’s pitching! Why, what are the odds? 22:1, I guess.
