What would be really funny is if Oswalt suffered from the fielding ineptitude of either "corner outfielder," and I use that term loosely, and Oswalt would bitchslap the guilty party as they came off of the field.
-
I've got some scotch and a cigar for tonight, and I shall be watching. I'm gonna try to get 'em a win. I promise.

That would be Jimmy D's slump-buster ugly jacket. It's got some powerful mojo in it. I too am confident that the good guys will prevail tonight. Had chicken for lunch just in case, however landscaping tonight is out of the question... allergies are too high right now.

only if the hitters get to do the same to him after yet another Oswalt Inning

But it wouldn't be as funny, in my opinion. As a former pitcher, I'd have liked to have slapped the hitters/fielders around sometime. Of course, they probably would have said the same about me when I would lose my control and start walking men.

I think the last time a prolonged slump was busted, there were marshmallows involved.

Michael, Michael, he's our man, if he can't do we're screwed.

i'm on it

10th pitch for carlos makes it a walk.
good at-bat, even though he did try to kill bourn twice.
-
Lee almost killed Bourn with the foul balls.
-
up to pence to score bourn from 3rd. all lance needed was a sac fly. shit.
-
1st pitch to PENCE! was a fastball that drifted over the middle of the plate, and he watched it for a strike. My guess, swinging strike 3 on some shit off the outside corner.

wrong, weak ass hit back to the pitcher.

Is there an award for the most times tapping back to the mound?
-

Berkman's timing is way off. He was so far out in front of that pitch he could have hit it on the follow through.

whoops....
Lincecum has 10 Ks in 4 2/3 innings so far tonight. Make that 11 Ks through 5.

strand bourn at 3rd, d-backs lead off with a double.

Roy has thrown a bunch of changeups, but no curveballs so far tonight.

Just threw a good one to Parra.

Yeah, I'll shut up now.

Quintero is going to be gassed come the bottom of the inning.
-

Scotch and marshmallows? That IS a sacrifice.
-
Roy's on first saying "that's how you do it, bitches".
-
Roy with a 12 pitch AB single. (JD: May be the Astros best at bat all year). Q running on the 3-2 pitch, about 6 times, looked like he needed oxygen out there...

When is his free agent year? He's hitting .400+ at Minute Maid.
-
Damn, that was a poke.
-
wow, that went really far
-

arizona has him until 2014, which is an option year.
5 yr/$28M (09-13)+14 cl opt

Damn, Manzella...hang on to that ball. The throw was there.
-

He was safe either way.
-
He was safe either way.
No, he was out if Manzella doesn't drop the ball.
-
Holy Shit, Q! That was awesome
ETA... and Feliz with the snap catch. Beautiful
-
Nice job by Feliz, too, giving him the nonchalant approach.
-
HAHA! Q is sneaky
-
No, he was out if Manzella doesn't drop the ball.
He didn't tag him on the foot, it was on the lower leg, after he hit the bag. At least that's how I saw it.
-
3-4-5: .191, .209, .209
ouch.
-

The throw beat the runner, the tag was there. If Manzella doesn't drop the ball, he's out.
-

No. the ump was already signalling safe when the ball rolled away from Manzella. He missed the lower leg like Rifraft said.
-
Berkman just took a pitch right down Happy Land. He's way off.
-
So let me understand you stupid MLB.TV IDIOTS, I can watch 5 STUPID-ASS COMMERCIALS in a row just fine, but I'm having problems with watching the game because my internet connection is too slow? Screw y'all. Admittedly when I do your bandwidth check it comes up with 200ish KBPS, but speed tests on other sites show in the thousands. Screw y'all. Idiots.
-
Cluster. Fuck.
-

No he wasn't. The ump signaled safe because Manzella dropped the ball. The tag was right on the bag. It beat the runner. He's out, if Manzella hangs on to the ball.
-

Who cares, it had no effect on the game, except RoyO had to throw a couple extra pitches. Now, explain what the fuck Q was swinging at with the first 2 pitches, before getting called out on strike 3 on the outside corner...
-

He may have been out but that's not what the ump saw. He had called the runner safe before the ball got away. NM.
-
Nice AB, Humberto. Swung at two pitches you couldn't hit and that were balls, and then you took strike three.
-
Now, explain what the fuck Q was swinging at with the first 2 pitches, before getting called out on strike 3 on the outside corner...
First pitch was a high fastball. Second pitch was a change up. They set him up pretty good.
-
Anyone care to throw out an inning and game score. I know it's not nearly as exciting as some conversation about a tag that occurred innings ago, but I'd really friggin like to know...

1-0, top 7. DBacks lead on a long long homerun by Upton.

Thank you. Was able to see the HR, but haven't seen squat for innings now...
-

I was hoping someone would explain what Q was thinking swinging at 2 completely unhittable pitches, before watching the hittable one go by.

You need an iPhone.

some screwy things going on with the strike zone this inning
-

He was thinking he could hit the first two, but not the third.

I need to take a chill pill, this MLB.TV thing has me steaming...

Touche.

awesome oswalt at-bat against kelly johnson. last two pitches especially. LET'S GET
SOME ONE GODDAMNED RUNS
-
C'mon offense!
-
Here we go... rally caps!
-
Let's hope for some fuckin' runs!
-
ha ha. dbag announcers praising kennedy for "outpitching oswalt"
-
Here we go... rally caps!
I think I'll go with some Tito's Homemade Vodka from Austin, Texas. That and the rally cap.
-
MatsuiMatsui for Roy? Really?
-
The BBG's shine again!

Clap - Clap Clap-Clap-Clap Clap - Clap Clap-Clap

i have a question. if you take some ordinary vodka, not rot-gut but not too special either, and run it through a brita water filter a few times, will it knock out the impurities and taste better? always wondered that, never got around to wasting a water filter to find out. is that how tito's does it?
-
Why take the bat out of your hottest hitter, when the shit of the lineup is coming up, save Keppinger?
-
dbag announcers questioning bourn bunting to tie the game up with "your most productive hitter" up.

It depends on the impurities. You run the risk of filtering the taste out too.

C'mon you overpaid, overweight fat tub of shit. DO YOUR JOB for once this season!

Looks like I picked another good night to work. Good luck, guys.

that's the way to be encouraging.

I've been nice all season, and that hasn't worked.
-
Well, fuck.
-
Shitfuck. Shitfuck. Shitfuck.
-
FUCK YEAH!!!! CARLOS LEE HOME RUN!!!!!!
-
That was some cruel shit there, Joey.
-
FUCK YEAH!!!! CARLOS LEE HOME RUN!!!!!!
I hate you a little bit.
-
the fuck and shitfucks didn't tell you joey was messing with everyone?
-
They didn't show up first, Joey's post did and then it was like his post disappeared and came back with the fucks and shitfucks in place. The Blackberry is not an exact science, it seems.
-
I think I'm for PEDs now.
-
That was some cruel shit there, Joey.
sorry guys, maybe i should have said this:
YESSSSS!!!! CARLOS HUSTLES DOWN THE LINE AND FORCES THE SHORTSTOP INTO A BAD THROW!!!! RUN SCORES!!! TIE GAME TIE GAME!!! FAT ASS #2 COMING UP
-
I love the outside corner that HPU is giving the pitchers.
-
I think it's time for those voodoo necklaces to be removed.
-
oh man, you guys not watching this game are missing out! astros may not have the talent to solve the witches the dbag keep pushing to the mound, but by god they're gonna go down fighting if they go down at all. berkman & pence especially just had tough as nails at-bats, not giving an inch, fighting off tough pitch after tough pitch until they finally just caught one they couldn't handle. still, gracious in defeat they were, tipping their caps to the pitcher and taking their seats in the dugout. somedays you're just not the better team. i salute you astros!!! they may not contend this year, but you gotta be optimistic for the future with the moxie they're showing.
-
I guess it's getting hot early this year.
-
Neither Manzella nor Q should bat in the bottom of the inning. Go for broke.
-
Game-changer. I am now watching the game instead of following on my iPad.
BTW Aamco, I know what subliminal message you're trying to send with your choice of backing music.
-
God damnit Mills. Manzella shouldn't be hitting here.
-
hilarious how the dbag announcers keep talking up bourn as being the man to fear in our lineup, like he's some big slugger instead of just the only competent hitter we have.
-
Fourth whitewash of the year. Shitfuck.
-
blum punches it to left, parra with a diving catch. trapped it i think, but great catch nonetheless. poor oswalt, got outpitched tonight obviously

It wasn't trapped, it was a good catch.
-

looked like he trapped it just barely in his glove, but mlbtv only showed one replay before going off air. either way, whatever.
