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
