Holy shit Martinez looks bad. He looks like he just wants to get off the field as quickly as he can.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

That was a horrible AB for Martinez. I don't mind guys swinging at the first pitch as long as it's something they can really handle. That pitch wasn't.

They're trying to boost his confidence. "We still believe in you!" But at this rate, it won't last long.

Literally, yes.  The Dynamo have more season tickets sold than either the Astros or Rockets.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

The "Glass Boot Series" doesn't sound very Texan-like.

Depends on whether Mr. or Mrs. Brown was doing the voting I'd imagine...  FWIW, she is evidently pretty consistent in her choice of guys... Both were pretty storied hitters I understand...

Depends on whether Mr. or Mrs. Brown was doing the voting I'd imagine...  FWIW, she is evidently pretty consistent in her choice of guys... Both were pretty storied hitters I understand...

I'll tell you what, if I was gonna fool around with another man's wife, it sure wouldn't be that crazy motherfucker's.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Brownie (or Lucas) were just saying it was 'Pewter' now, and that it used to be glass.

They've been calling it the "Silver Boot" all week. "Pewter Boot Series" sounds worse than than "Glass Boot".

Why are those exclusive options?

Yep, that could've been ugly!

Mills' postgame: Lopey, Barney.

At least he doesn't say Happy.

Nice job by Happ. I would of bet big against the proposition that there would be a shutout and Happ and Abad would throw seven of the nine innings.

No one is happier for Happ and Abad or more surprised than me.

The matchup has always been called the Silver Boot.  The actual trophy is a boot that used to be glass, but is now pewter.

Given the Rangers' past issues on their roster, staying away from a tall glass trophy is probably wise.
