What's on the Menu (Topics Du Jour):
- LaRussa, burning with "desire" and "drive" or just burning from jock itch?
- Clemens, shame on you dirty old man!
- Michael Bourn, is it time to take a seat for a while and let Darrin Erstad have a few starts here?
- Cheito: Is that spanish for "can't hit better than Brad Ausmus"?
- Shawn Chacon, legit #2 man for the Houston Astros or is it too early to tell?
- Andy, ask Noe why ESPN wants to trade Oswalt to Boston for a bag of magic beans?
- Lookee 'dar: Keeping up with traded away Astros, especially Lidge, Qualls, Scott and Burke. Jim Molony of MLB.com claims the "Lights Out Lidge is Back!" (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080501&content_id=2621320&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb) How does that make you feel, Mr. Know-it-all-baseball-fan-for-the-Houston-Astros-who-wanted-him-traded-for-a-bag-of-used-balls!
- The existence of Baseball Gods (BBGs): myth or real? If real then why do they hate Houston so much? This is also known as the "Limey Sucks!" topic.
- Cecil Cooper: a propensity to throw players under the bus... is this a good idea skip? Aren't buses too expensive to do that?
- Hunter Pence: Has this guy ever seen a slider he doesn't like? Hmmmm... sliders!
- Quien es mas macho: Miguel Tejada or Wesley Wright (formerly Rodney Allen Ripley (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/andyzipp/minimes.jpg))? Lance Berkman wants to know.
- Uniform Talk: There is a SnS TZ demographic that cares very much for what uniforms the Astros wear. These are the same forum members who love to watch "Project Runway" and comment on "who is in and who is out". Of course, I watch it because of the Heidi Klum factor. "See you later, decorator!".
- "Select" T-Ball: Is this going too far?
- Houston Astros 2008, Top Defense in the League? Is this a backhanded compliment and why?
You can use this forum, this particular thread to pre-submit your items of interest for the show if you feel you just cannot call in. Like going to a New Orleans Jazz Festival type of excuse. Yeah, right! During the show, you can use this thread as a real time thread like Gamezone to berate Andyzipp's radio appearance much like you do any and every show you've ever listened to and managed to cast vitrol towards in your life. Andy would have it no other way.
But please, if you feel the need to call: 713-439-1560, do so... they, 1560 the Game, actually encourage it! I guess there is no accounting for taste!
BTW - let us know, what do you think would be the best music intro for our SnS segment. Sort of like the players having an intro song when they come in from the bullpen or come up to bat. Gimme your best suggestions here and I'll list them for Zipp and Dave to consider:
- Come on, Let's go - Los Lobos
- Shakin' Shakin' Shakes - Los Lobos
- We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
- Mandy - Barry Manilow
- Burning Down the House - David Byrne
- Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
- Hell - Squirrel Nut Zippers
- Nobody's Perfect - Hannah Montana (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGwChXz9KoU) (doubles as the Roger Clemens theme song)
- Charles In Charge Theme Song - The Blanks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wEpqbMoUaU)
- Riot Act - Elvis Costello
- It's A Long Way To The Top - Dropkick Murphys
- If You Want Blood - AC/DC
