End 1
0-0
-
I had an open tab with Astros.com open in it. All of the sudden, the game started playing in a new window. First time that's ever happened for me. Brewer's broadcast, for some reason.
-
Either Lance Berkman or Brian Moehler now for Faith Night.
I'll bet Lance gets inserted as a pinch-hitter tonight and everyone cries like a baby.
-
Micheals homers to the concourse in LCF. Astros lead 1-0 Bottom 2nd
-
What a catch by Braun. Good grief.
-

Think so? I guess Yanks can't ask for him to not play
-
Johnson up with a 12 game streak.
still at 12
-
Is Lance even in the dugout?
-
he took batting practice
-
What a play by Weeks and Parra.
-
Holy shit what a play by the Brewers! And the fucking home crowd boos. Sick
-
Dear God, it's the Thirst Inning. It's what we DO!
-
Sure seemed like Happ should have beaten it.
-
That was awesome. I don't care who you are.
-

He was running hard right until he got to the base. He then stutter stepped, probably trying to avoid a collision. No problem for me. Sure as hell no reason to boo.

Was the boo directed towards him or the ump (because the fans thought he should have been called safe)?
-
I'm sure it was directed at the ump, but still. If you're a fan of baseball, then your first reaction after a play like that should be "WOW".
-
No excuse to boo anyone on that play.
-
Roy's Phillies debut: 6 ip, 7 h, 5 r, 4 er, 2 bb, 4 k, 2 hp. He threw 86 pitches (54 strikes).

Agree.
-
I think I'm going to miss that ridiculous Puma sound effect
-
I'll miss Lance but not the Puma. Fuck that shit.
-
Big Johnson!!
-
CJ!!
-
Wow! Johnson, wow!
-
CJ extends his hitting streak to 13 games with a 3 run shibby!
Astros 4, Brewers 0
-

I agree for the most part, but that rawr always makes me laugh.
Entertaining game tonight.
-

I'm pouring out* a bottle of scotch for our fallen homiez Berkman and Oswalt and the great Astros teams of the aughts in general. They will be missed.
*down my hatch
-

Holy crap, hadn't even thought about that, or the real side benefit: THE LITTLE PUMAS ARE DONE!!!!!

And Patti Smith is interviewing the furries right now.
-
OMG no! Not the little pumas! So sad...
-
That guy was pretty serious for a Furry.

J.D. suggest they take their act to the Big Apple. Take the subway.

Humor has no place in the Furry's worldview. Otherwise, they might get a little self-conscious writing their Harry Potter furry fanfic.
-
Berkman is a Yankee?
-
Haha. YOU COULD TAKE LANCE BERKMAN TO SCHOOL!!
-
Haha. YOU COULD TAKE LANCE BERKMAN OR A PLAYER TO BE NAMED LATER TO SCHOOL!!
Patty fixed that one on the slide...

Not on Astros.com

JA was awesome.

Anyone hearing that Pence is going to the Detroit Tigers?

You tease

Not teasing. Just hearing rumors. Wondering if anyone else had heard anything.
-
Phil Cuzzi is a fucking idiot. But you already knew that.

Don't see that anywhere. Where did you hear it?
-
Great running dive and catch by Bourn to send the Prince to the bench!
-
Michael Bourn's glove: where triples go to die!
And folks say that Yordani is a better defender than Bourn? I have a hard time imagining what that would look like.
-
Michael Bourn is a fuckin' ballplayer.
-
Don't see that anywhere. Where did you hear it?
Friend. Its probably just a baseless rumor, but I've never known them to say anything untrue. That was why I asked to see if anyone else had heard rumblings.
-
JA was awesome.
Thanks, man, but I ain't dead yet.
-
i am pretty sure carlos lee shouldn't be calling michael bourn off a fly-ball...ever.
-
Gotta PH Berkman for Lee next. 1 pitch, taking all the way, then replace him with Bourgeois. Gotta give the man a curtain call!!!
-
did JD just call lopez' fastball the "french tickler?"
-
You don't blah blah blah that weak shit blah blah Jeff Keppinger.
Also, horrible horrible home run call by Milo.
-
Free Chicken!!
Kepp hits the fowl pole! Homerun!
-
Also, horrible horrible home run call by Milo.
that's understood and expected.

What did he say?
-
Bummer.
-
What did he say?
He basically gave up on it early and called it foul. Then seemed to change his mind after about 5 seconds of inane babble. All the while really not giving us any hint that it was actually home run distance.
-
That's a wrap.
-
Astros win 5-0.

you have never seen anyone as good as Yordany.
-

Imagine Bourn's speed and glove, and then graft on the best arm you've seen. That's Ramirez. Why he isn't getting ML time is a mystery to me.
-
Here's where that Pence/Tigers talk probably came from -- Phil Rogers.

So he's the anti-Pence?
-

Well, he has the strike zone discipline of Pence.

he would make Bourn's great catches look easy. he is the smoothest, greatest OFer i have ever seen.

Quite the compliment, coming from you.

Where is he these days?

According to the article Matadorph just posted, being demoted to A to begin work as a pitcher.
ETA: NOTE: OF Yordany Ramirez was sent to Class-A Lexington after Friday's game; he will begin work as a pitcher in the Astros organization.

they never called him up. never understood it.
-

Me neither. Charlton Jimerson, who the hell was that guy from the Marlins?... Yo can play, and he's not nearly as impatient a hitter as those other CF call-ups, at least from what I've seen. Maybe he can pitch.
-

He would catch flies out in RCF and just dare runners on 2nd to take 3rd. And then gun a one-hop laser to 3rd. By this year everybody had their scouting reports and they didn't even bother to try, but Ramirez would still uncork a laser every now and then just to remind everybody what he has. I saw throws to 3rd from RCF beat guys by two strides.

Reading this gave me a chubby. I would have loved to see him play.

Reggie Abercrombie. That's the dude I was thinking of.

Jim and I weren't kidding: this guy can play defense.

Not only is he a fucking idiot, he's a brash asshole who I expect to blossom into a complete dicknose.

Not only does his face have a nose that is made out of dick, his dick has a nose too, and it looks like a mini dick with an even tinier nose with a little bitty minuscule dick.

And none of them works.
