If Ring of Fire is not played for Cash, I will hurt somebody.

If Ring of Fire is not played for Cash, I will hurt somebody.

Not quite:


I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling on the wall
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I got the call,
I'm stuck in Minute Maid Park, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to Un-i-on...

When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with bums.
But I hit a pitch in Round Rock just to watch it fly
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy Aramark bar
They're probably drinkin' Miller and eating shit burgars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a leavin'
And that's what tortures me...

Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Minute Maid Park, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

But will El Caballo get his BA over .200 tonight? We ought to have a pool as to when he'll hit his first home run.

His first homer will come tonight, but it will be overturned by instant replay.

The irony will be that he'll run instead of admire this lazer shot only to be told to get back to the homeplate area, it's a foul ball.  He'll decide he ain't running any more the rest of the night because of it.

Jesus. HPU is trying to inject a little offense into tonight's game, his strike zone is the size of a Juicy Fruit wrapper.

Well, fuck. Lee jumps for a ball at the wall but it is just over his glove and it drives in a run and becomes a triple for Parra.. IBB to get to the pitcher, two out, 1-0 Serpientes.

Berkman stumbles to a weak grounder and flips it to Myers to end the top half of the inning.

If it isn't mole or mole removal related, how likely is it she's spent any time researching it?

You don't need a sommelier to tell you that it comes in a box and will get you drunk.

I was staying at the Wynn in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and the place took great pride in that they employed 18 sommeliers.  Sure enough, when I ordered a bottle of barbera at one of the Italian restaurants, the sommelier himself brought and opened the bottle and described the type of grape and year and soil and all the other things one is supposed to hear while impatiently waiting for one's glass to be poured.

As he was filling my glass, I asked him how it tasted.  Unfortunately, he hadn't had a chance to try it yet.  But still, I'm glad there were 18 of them available to open my bottle for me and read the label out loud.

Wha' happen?

Two great catches on back to back players.  One over the shoulder running into the right-center alley.  The next, on a low knuckling liner where he slipped as the ball curved behind him and made a sprawling catch.

Post by: Ty in Tampa on May 05, 2010, 08:54:30 pm
Back-to-back plays. The first full-out running catch of a deep fly angling towards right center. The second, he reversed his break to his left on a hooking liner and dove to his right to make the catch.

Apparently, the Astros played Enya music in the clubhouse with the lights turned off so they can pay homage to the BBGs and break this streak.  I'm not sure if they should continue doing it or if they should feel like they've done their best sacrifice and they're no longer in need of such pain.

One win in the last 9 games, and I had to miss it because we had a situation with a foster kiddo. Maybe they'll repeat it tonight for me. Even with the Enya... sorry Footer.  :-\
