Why the hell is the roof closed?? It's 80 degrees! Is it raining or something down there?
And Esch, your facial hair looks spray painted on.

Rain forecasted for tonight.
My amateur forecast from Williams Tower: smog. Lots of it.
-
Fuckstick Doug Eddings stationed at 3rd. Lets see if he can make himself part of the game.
-
Roy walks Duffy to start the game.
-
Roy walks Duffy to start the game.
Roy is definitely keeping the ball down...
-
which Wilson sister is this?
-
Jack. The other half is a Brave.
-
I only have a radio and you guys; was Burke's catch as good as Milo made it sound?
Of course a good catch often results from a bad jump
-
roy did a changeup up and in at 72 mph to start off bay
fastball at the knees 93 mph
in the dirt
fastball at the knees 94 mph looking
bat didn't leave bay's shoulder
-

bad jump. should have been a can of corn.

Bingo.

At least he doesn't make it behind HP this series.
-
I have no idea from Milo's call about the one that Burke didn't catch... what happened?
-

Couldn't really get a good idea of his jump on the replay, but it wasn't especially shallow or far away. I'll have to assume he got a late start.

That's 2 for 2 with bad jumps then.... that's not a good way to start the season

JD said that Burke complained he didn't get many balls hit to him on Friday and Saturday.
-
What the heck was Luke thinking there?
-
Scott had no business pushing that.
-

he wasn't
-
which Wilson sister is this?
Ann Wilson plays for Pittsburgh, and Nancy is a Brave.
-
Great....get to watch the Opening Day game on tv, at least, but we get to cut away from baseball....already....to interview Clay walker during the game.
Nice guy, I am sure, but.....WE HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR BASEBALL, NOT CMT!
-

Looked like that to me. Also looked like he had it through one and a half rotations, but dropped it on the last half-roll.
-
Scott had no business pushing that.
Cheo was pointing at the bag. I'm guessing that means "stop right here, maign!"
-
oswalt gave bay the heat up and in and he was hacking right through it
next one in about 4 inches further out from the first and he whacked it right at everett
-

Moreover he jinxed it by predicting a win, thus causing the Pirates' first hit which came seconds later.
-
What do ya know?
Burke doesn't try to pull the ball, and he gets a ground rule double.
Nice.

that was a nice swing, real nice
-
And Ausmus takes one for the team... set up now for a sac.
-
Ausmus has a 1.000 OBP. Bat him 2nd.
-
Bad Roy! Bad Roy! Always get on top of the ball when bunting. No blue star for you.
-
Biggio doing everything he can to just get the ball in play...
Low and outside coming?
ETA: Crap.
-
crap, no runs on a leadoff double...
-
Roy's curve seems to be in midseason form.
-
Roy has thrown a lot of pitches: 75 pitches through 3.1 innings.
-
He'll go six, I would think. He is settling down, now. The bats need to put up a run or 12 pretty soon, though.
-
Roy has thrown a lot of pitches: 75 pitches through 3.1 innings.
That was a very efficient 11 pitch fourth inning, so that helps. I would hope to get seven from RoyO.
-
Roy has thrown a lot of pitches: 75 pitches through 3.1 innings.
Gameday says 52.
-
What the heck, its the game zone....
Adam's bat seems to be in midseason form.
-
You are correct, I was reading it incorrectly.
I feel much beter now.
-
crap #2, another DP
-
Berkman is grounding the crap out of the ball.
Duke effectiveness?
Right hand Berkman not quite tuned up yet?
A little of both?
Sorry, I haven't gotten to see baseball in a long time.
-
Wait, what the hell did that guy said that Patti gave him shit? I missed it.
-
It just hit me, after I finally got a look at it, just how scary the outfield defense looks right now.
-
I didn't hear a four letter word either.
-
He said 'I don't care what ESPN says...'
-
He said 'I don't care what ESPN says...'
Ah haaaaaaaaaa. That makes a LOT more sense. It wasn't like Patti to make the in-game interviewees feel bad.
-
Wait, what the hell did that guy said that Patti gave him shit? I missed it.
I missed it. I wonder if someone said something in her earpiece....she really shouldn't be working that 1-900-whip-it line during interviews.
-
Wow.
Luke is HOT Luke right now.
-
HELL. YES.
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke.
-
No doubter by Scott. Full extension.
-
That makes running through the stop sign a little easier to bear
-
I guess he didn't want to watch for the base coach again.
Burke has a pair......of doubles.
-
That makes running through the stop sign a little easier to bear
Boy, did he hit the snot out of that thing. How deep was that?
-
The last two pitches have been belt fucking high right over the middle of the plate.
-
Eh, if it was the 18th inning Burke woulda muscled up a bit more and put it out. Ah well.
-
Did Craig suggest the bottom of the lineup might be productive tonight?
-
Boy, did he hit the snot out of that thing. How deep was that?
Brownie says 430.
-
Boy, did he hit the snot out of that thing. How deep was that?
Milo says 430, so somewhere between 300 and 500
-
Easy to say after the fact, but Doug probably should have held Burke at 3rd there.
-
I know hindsight's 20/20, but Doug shouldn't have sent Burke. He got hung up between 2nd and 3rd too long.
-
echo in here

If you aren't listening to the radio, the "Microsoft Windows Startup Sound" just played through the feed....

Somebody rebooted Milo?
-
Uh oh. Two on, no out for the Canuck
-
make the hard ones, boot the easy ones.... someone is thinking too much
-
to bay
fastball inside corner
fastball down the chute, fouled back
fastball at the knees, barely inside, ball
slider inside, 85, ball ... just missed
fastball inside- ground to morgan, 5-4-3
-
Gamezone showed pitch four as a ball....in the strike zone.
Nice DP

It was close...inside corner no call
-
to the roach
curve 75 on the outside corner, strike looking
high heat, 95 ... can't catch up
high heat, 96, fouled back
dirty 66 hook in the dirt, k swinging
-
Good job Roy. No runs.
-
It was close...inside corner no call
I saw the pitch. I just thought it was funny that gamezone showed what I saw.
The only low strikes called tonight have been off the curve.
-
Worst pitch Adam has swung at all night and he dinks the double.
-
duke wanted no part of the vending machine
-
Fuck.
-
I just felt the aftershocks of the first Lee cut.
Dadgum double play. Great play by Castillo
-
golphed a laser right at 2B. Damn.
-
Woah....
Ensberg almost swung the bat.
-
3-0 and Morgan swings. Holy crap.
-
Woah....
Ensberg almost swung the bat.
I assume you mean on the pop up.
-
Not exactly a pitch to drive on 3-0, Morgan.
-
ROy started off a little wired until he found the zone.
Duke looks like he hasn't gotten his endurance ramped all the way up yet.
Still, this has been a pretty good pitching game.
-
Roy has country on his lost Ipod. I'm not surprised by any of that for some reason.
-
I assume you mean on the pop up.
I meant the pitch before.
Mo is being agressive....
-
Enos Cabell and Jeff Bagwell.
Damn.
-
roy is zipping tonight; 90 minutes and the 7th already
-
Bagwell.
Damn.
I was surprisingly unprepared to see Jeff Bagwell in street clothes during an Astros game. Brain. Bleeding.
-

Not suggesting that he is, but at least he can take some damn strong drugs for his shoulder now.
-
Do we even have any Gators or Buckeyes in this game? It's getting obvious that these fellers want to make it in time for the title game.
For some reason.
-
at least basket ball season is over after tonight
-
That figurine does NOT look like Bagwell batting...
-

I told someone at school today that I had to get home to see the game, and they asked if I wanted Florida or Ohio to win. For a moment, I had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.
They were equally as shocked that I was going to watch a baseball game instead of the championship.
-
That figurine does NOT look like Bagwell batting...
You've emphasized the wrong word.
That figuring does not look like Bagwell BATTING...
-
That figurine is supposed to be Bagwell? Looks more like "Generic Baseball Player 2C". No ZZ Top starter kit, no Iron Man batting glove, and the stance looked about 8 inches too high.

Beerveza?
-
I.did.not.need.to.see.mo.fan.love.fest.
I guess since Ensberg's a pussy, he draws unsuspecting men.
-
I bet that guy would love to see what Ensberg could do in the #2 hole.

Nice......
-
I'm not even kind of suggesting that it'll stay like this past this game. This isn't a prediction of any kind.
But, does anyone else feel EXACTLY like they're watching a game from last season's Astros tonight?
-
Ugh. Nancy and the vending machine chatting it up.
Wilson and http://www.nndb.com/people/457/000060277/
Twins?

I was thinking that after Carlos lined into the double play.
Damn Dan, at least let us get to Lidge before we have a heart attack.

There have been some pretty good defensive plays by the Pyroots to kill a couple rallies tonite. Don't get too stressed just yet.
-
Time for an insurance run or three.
-
No, no, not stress or anything. Just a familiar feeling.
-
Baseball is back.
I am watching the game projected up on a huge wall in a conference room and using a "borrowed" internet connection with a borrowed laptop to post.
I am not stressed.
-
No, no, not stress or anything. Just a familiar feeling.
You sure thats not the rhomboid gordita?
-
69 hits to 3000....
-
Milo just mentioned the station 'In College Station, KZNE the Zone, 1150am'
of course they are doing the basketball game tonight.... Luckily the weather is good and I can get KTRH
-
I like that no one will post it....but not one of you has an easy feeling seeing Lidge warming up with a 1 run lead.
Fine. Don't admit it.
-
Damn ETA, you got that about 20 seconds before I did.
-
69 hits to 3000....
Accordingly, he should hit in the #2 hole tomorrow.
-
I like that no one will post it....but not one of you has an easy feeling seeing Lidge warming up with a 1 run lead.
Fine. Don't admit it.
I wouldn't have an easy feeling with Sandy Koufax and a one run lead.
-

I thought it was the fried gizzards I ate for dinner from Chicken Express.
They aren't kidding about the express part.
-

An advantage of the radio - Milo hasn't said who's warming so I didn't know. Now I can start to feel queasy

-
I wouldn't have an easy feeling with Sandy Koufax and a one run lead.
I would. Is he available?
-
Damn ETA, you got that about 20 seconds before I did.
I've been known to be pretty quick.....er...um...
I had it typed in before he got the first pitch. I figured he would be hitting at a .250 click, so the 4th bat after 0-3 looked like good odds.
-

Yep, he's a free agent with 40 years of rust.

Premature posting, don't they have pills for that?
-
Lidge pitching to Mary Jane, Paulina, and Nada....
Burp.
-
Premature posting, don't they have pills for that?
They tried creams, but rubbing it on was a problem.
-
mary jane
fb up swinging
fb knees
backdoor slider for the k.
-
paulino
backdoor slider up, ball
backdoor slider up and in, ball

Premature posting, don't they have pills for that?
Ya know, Game ZOne has gotten off to a great start this year so far....except for the game zone play-by-play thing that we were supposed to be doing...
-
why was I expecting that
-
nada
fb down and in, homer off the facade in left
-
Sorry about that, Roy...
-
son of a bitch, first fucking game.
-
Lidge strikes again!
-
Got any more gizzards?
-
nada
fb down and in, homer off the facade in left
Felt like it was off the left testicle.
-
Aaarrrggghhhh!!!! Dammit, shit, fucking... oh well.
-
bautista
fb knees
slider in at the knees, ball
fb down, check swing strike
slider out over the plate, double down the left field line
-
Got any more gizzards?
Yeah....I'm getting there.
I had only made it through 8 of the 18.....
-
Now it REALLY feels like last year.
-
FREE BASEBALL!
Enough. Really. It was a silly idea to keep sending him out last year. The dream is over with Lidge. The average "good closer" lasts something like 2.5 seasons. I'm not mad. I'm not hopping around the house or anything. There's nothing wrong with admitting someone can't perform in this role anymore. Just calmly move on guys. Whether it's mental or physical or whatever.
-
doumit (lefty)
fastball knees, just inside, ball
fastball inside corner, 1-1
slider inside dirt, 2-1
slider inside corner, swinging 2-2
fastball up a little, topped it and fouled down 1st base line
slider inside, 3-2
fastball down outside, bb
-
sound on the radio is fading; is the crowd getting Lidge like it sounds?
-
No worries. He's just working on some pitches right now.
-
Oh yeah. Boos raining down.
-
sound on the radio is fading; is the crowd getting Lidge like it sounds?
Worse.
It doesn't even sound like Houston.
Thing is, I don't blame him. I really honestly don't.
-
Yeah, he's getting booed a lot.
-
Thank Ausmus, God is behind the plate.
-
Where is that freaking POCKET????
-
Weird....I didn't put in the emoticon.....new feature?
-
kelly (lefty)
fb down the chute looking
fb 96 in, swinging strike 0-2
slider dirt, 1-2
fb up and in 96, 2-2
JD reports 22 pitches thus far
fb outside, fouled off
fouled just outside the 1st base line ... too close
fb just inside, 3-2 ... brad not hitting his spots at all
fb down the chute and AE saves the inning with a nice catch running back into left
-
wow. nice grab by adam.
-
I'm trying to take the hate the sin love the sinner approach but it's fucking hard, man. Fucking real hard.
-
Weird....I didn't put in the emoticon.....new feature?
???=???
-
Well, I think the Astros should score and reward Lidge with a W.
-
Well, I think the Astros should score and reward Lidge with a W.
He does need a pick-me-up.
-
???=???
These newfangled computing thingees...
-
He does need a pick-me-up.
And what for Roy?
-
Luke tries to do it again.
Close your eyes and use the force....
-
Luke tries to do it again.
Close your eyes and use the force....
Just missed it, and that blood red bat is kewl
-
I need to send them an email and let them know, yeah, extra inning playoff wins are exciting and all, but I need a few easy wins during the season or new heart medicine....
-
And what for Roy?
roy is sol tonight
-
I love extra innings. Such excitement! This is Baseball dammit.
-
I'm beginning to think L to Q to W is more alphabetical....
-
Oh, I hope they play all night. And trade Lidge for a prospect.
-
Did Berkman just ask Qualls if he needed a snack?
-
Oh, I hope they play all night. And trade Lidge for a prospect.
Maybe some GM will be nice enough to give Purp a fourth starter for him.
-
I'm just being realistic. There are plenty of GMs who would be THRILLED to take Lidge as a project and give us a mid-level prospect.
I say take it.
-
Oh, I hope they play all night. And trade Lidge for a prospect.
They'd be lucky to get a prospector. Yosimite Sam wouldn't be any worse.
-
That inning could have gone a little better.
-
Lane's gonna pinch hit for Ausmus and hit one out....
-
Man, it's like a puppy that won't be house trained. But not as cute.
-
Lane's gonna pinch hit for Ausmus and hit one out....
So the Astros lose by 1?
-
Or by two. Trying to be a little optimistic....
-
So...
The Pirates played right into the Astros plans....
Torres will not be available for the rest of the series?
-
thanks for coming. please drive safely.
-
So...
The Pirates played right into the Astros plans....
Torres will not be available for the rest of the series?
....snd maybe Lidge?
-
Glenn WILSON doing the postgame?
Do I see a conspiracy?
-
Glenn WILSON doing the postgame?
Do I see a conspiracy?
Yeah and Wilson said Wheeler gave up the 2 run dinger.
-
Boy, did he hit the snot out of that thing. How deep was that?
It spoiled some fat cat's dinner in the restaurant. Watching the reply, the saddie out there bottled the catch and let it clatter around.
