Talk Zone / Chacon
« on: May 27, 2008, 10:34:57 pm »
Did anyone expect this kind of performance from Chacon when the season opened?  He's been a big surprise to me.  Nice to see him stepping up when some of the other key arms are struggling or hurt.

Talk Zone / A-Rod on Boras
« on: December 17, 2007, 02:30:29 pm »
"When I realized things were going haywire, at that point I said wait a minute I've got to be accountable for my own life," Rodriguez said. "This is not going the way I wanted it to go, so I got behind the wheel."

Too bad Beltran didn't have the same snap. 

Although, things might have been going more to Beltran's liking, than is the case with A-Rod.

Talk Zone / The Boo Birds
« on: August 27, 2007, 04:07:46 pm »
Booing the home team is never acceptable.  Booing the opposing team is rarely acceptable.  That being said, I won't loose any sleep tonight knowing that Purpura is standing in the unemployment line.  As Purpura once said about his struggling players, potential eventually has to manifest into positive results.  And believe it or not, the folks who were evaluating Purpura's results are more qualified to do so than OWA's finest. *gasp*

Hot dogs, baseball, apple pie, and Chevrolets.

Talk Zone / John Patterson
« on: May 20, 2007, 03:29:22 pm »
What happened to this guy?  A couple of years ago, he looked phenomenal and seemed destined for great things.  Now, you never hear much about him.

Looks like he's on the DL with the Nats at the moment.

Talk Zone / Lazy Horse
« on: May 01, 2007, 11:22:52 pm »
Just got home from the game.  Make no mistake about it, Carlos Lee makes Jr. and Manny look like Charlie Hustle, particularly on ground ball outs.  I can see the Astros are taking on a much different attitude than we are used to, and I don't like it. 

What a schalacking.  Should have stayed home and watched Brokeback Mountain or something.

Talk Zone / Biggio's bat speed
« on: April 05, 2007, 04:02:17 pm »
For you douche nozzles that have convinced yourselves that Biggio's bat speed is gone, check out his HR vid clip on astros.com. 

Looks good to me.

Talk Zone / Mike Lamb's defense
« on: September 29, 2006, 11:30:04 am »
Lamb deserves a little pat on the ass for the phenomenal play he made on Wednesday night.  Just watched the replay of the barehanded grab. Helluva play for anybody.

Talk Zone / Garner on Lidge
« on: August 16, 2006, 03:00:26 am »
"Brad Lidge is no longer my closer."

Well it's about fucking time, Phil.

Talk Zone / Huff's presence in the lineup
« on: July 13, 2006, 11:46:35 pm »
It's amazing how Huff changes the dynamics of this lineup.  Nice performance tonight by the new guy.  Let's hope that this is a sign of things to come.

No need to rush back to the lineup, Morgan.

Nasty, nasty stuff today.  Watching this kid blossom is going to be fun.  Nice job by Lamb, too.

Talk Zone / Manny is a flake
« on: January 06, 2006, 12:43:28 am »
"There will be no trade, I'm staying in Boston, where I'm familiar with the system and where I have a lot of friends, especially David Ortiz," Ramirez told ESPNdeportes.com while in Miami on personal business.

Could this douche bag be any more indecisive?

Talk Zone / Couple of thoughts...
« on: October 23, 2005, 12:36:02 am »
Couple of thoughts after a game that was very winnable:

1.  Have the Astros completely forgot how to defend against a stolen base attempt?

2.  Why hasn't Ensberg been moved down in the order?

3.  Why does Willy no longer steal bases?

Talk Zone / Padres
« on: October 06, 2005, 07:16:37 pm »
The Padres are such pussies.  I was hoping that they would at least make it interesting.

Talk Zone / Lake Jackson/Freeport area -- place to watch the game?
« on: October 05, 2005, 11:03:37 am »
I have to be in Freeport today on business and was wondering if there's a good place in the area to catch the game.  Any Brazoria county folk know of a good hangout?

Talk Zone / Steve Lyons on Purpura
« on: October 03, 2005, 01:42:22 pm »
Did anyone catch his comment during the broadcast?

After mentioning Hunsicker, he said something like, "Boy, did Tim Purpura ever bring a breath of fresh air to this Astros organization in 2005!"  

I almost lost it.
