Mills rests Altuve and his three-game hit streak.
-
I really like Chicago, but Fuck the Cubs.
-
So, I wonder will be playing 3B for the Astros next year. Am I giving up on CJ too soon? His career looks to be going the way of Truby to me. Seeing him batting 5th is sad.
-

Same here, RB. I spent seven weeks in Chicago in rehab and really took advantage of the city. It was in the late summer time and early fall. I went to Cubs games, White Sox games, Blackhawks games and a Bears game.
-
ditto, RB.

We lived in one of the western suburbs when I was in high school. It was a fantastic place.

Chicago in the summer is on of my favorite cities. I also like how all the bars there are different college fans' turf in the fall

Truby mostly burned out; I fear CJ is just going to fade away.

I didn't see much of yesterday's game, but in the one CJ AB I saw his bat looked *really* slow.

Clint Barmes says, 'Fuck 'em too.' Or maybe, "Trade for me. I can play."
-
Is it just me or are the astros wearing the brick jerseys less this year?

Drayton's cut back on the Colorfast Tide budget.

I may be going there for the first time next month. I am thinking of seeing if I can stay an extra day and visit Wrigley. I hate the Cubs, but have always wanted to go to a game in both the Chicago stadiums.
-
Chances are good that you'll see someone kick their ass, which will be nice.
-
Ah hell. It's been days since I heard that fat bastard.
-
Hey, RB.......Eye.....Rack......
-
I like driving in Chicago.
-
I like driving in Chicago.
We just did cabs and trains. Is it as enjoyable as driving in Boston?
-
Actually, if I ever won the lottery (that I never play), I would visit every MLB park in one season......a girl can dream, can't she?
-
Ivy is a weed.
-

They regard lanes in a similar manner.
-
What the fuck? Is Bourn carrying a midget on his back? Is he playing in back of 2B? That's not a big park.
-
And now Lyles has lost the plate. Shitfuck.
-
Ivy is a weed.
There has to be a great Soriano/Mary Jane joke here....but it just isn't coming to me.......
-

I think driving would be part of the fun, but if you want to charter a jet that's ok too.
-
It's a good thing Hoppy Soriano is a shitheel fucking piece of shit drama queen.
No, that's not it...
-
Third double of the inning. Lyles hasn't got a whole lot of control today.
-

Probably more driving and trains than air travel.
-
Wallace is getting beaten to death out there.
-
This inning is going to hell in a handbag rather quickly.
-

The burden of being the only watchable player on the astros is a heavy load.
-
On the plus side, this shouldn't eat too much of his innings cap.
-
It's been a while since this team was markedly inferior to the Cubs.
-
That AT&T commercial is really beginning to grate on my nerves.
-
I saw some Fucktard in a fukudome t-shirtat buffalo grill this morning. There was a point to this anecdote a one time. I'd try and explain the inherent terribleness of said yuppie character waiting in line at such an establishment, bit that would probably involve a good bit of self- loathing, which is really too much for a Sunday afternoon. I take solace in the fact that I was not, at least, wearing a fukudome t- shirt.

That grinning fool makes those WWII caricatures of Tojo look maudlin.

While this team may have a worse record than the Cubs, they can never be inferior to those cocksuckers.

Garza looks like he should be eating tin cans.

If we valued erudition as much as snark, this could be in the running for potw.
-
The lure of snark is strong.
-
CJ has actually been hitting a little better over the last couple of weeks but a look at B-R shows that he's slugging a little over .300 in the last month.

He was way behind those fastballs.

I would have preferred CJ get the day off over altuve.

Lyles looks really good in his uniform. Just sayin....

I really don't want to read Brett Dolan's insights on the screen. I'm happy to be watching TV so that I don't have any contact with DoRay at all.

That's what Jane likes about those rookies: she gets older; they stay the same age.

That AB was fucking awful.
Didn't even make contact with the bases loaded.
-
Jane Doe: Jordan Lyles' Slave.
Nope. Just thinking how much better he looks in it than say, Carlos Lee or Wallace. Just looking at body type.
Don't think he is that attractive....too young....just a baby.
-
At least the Astros didn't trade their best prospects for matt freaking garza prior to having an abortion of a season.

I've been thinking that all game. When I look at Altuve I don't exactly see a guy who's screaming I need a day off.
-
When was the last time you visited the blue bell factory in Brenham? That was the shit when I was in 2nd grade.

Maybe, but how does he fill out a penguin costume? Hmm?

I'm wondering what they'll do to Altuve on the rookie road trip. Make him dress up as a munchkin from Wizard of Oz?
-

Not as good as Burgess Meredith......
-
Greg Lucas, you madcap!
-
Nice play there by Lyles to get Soto.
It's 3-1 but it feels like 11-1. Should I just give it time?

Small people are so fun to dress up:
Oomph loompa
Smurf
robin hood
Keebler elf
Santa elf
Tom cruise
-
Always nice to think that those delirious fucktards go through the roller coaster of emotion, oohing and aahing on every pitch like it's Game 7, and that when they end an inning just like this last one it takes some clicks off of their clock.
The dry turd of reality is that they're too stupid to realize what's going on, they just want another Heileman's.
-
Jane! Jordan's up!

I was at wrigley a couple weeks ago, and I can honestly say I'd prefer a warm beast heavy to old style.

Ed, please keep Bourn. He's pretty irreplaceable.

I'm starting to envision myself positioned on the second tier of that train station. Crouched. Wearing all black, down to supple leather gloves that clutch a titanium sniper rifle. I peer through the scope, centered upon a dancing man, slightly balding, also wearing black. I take a deep breath.
This is not good.
-

IMO his value will never be higher than it is now, and with The Devil advising him he won't be staying after becoming an FA. I'll miss seeing him in the HOU OF...but... get a good haul for him and I'll be just fine with it!

I don't entirely disagree, but I also think a player like Bourn will never be appropriately valued on the trade market.
-

That's Ed's job.
-
God damn this team is without peer at killing a rally.
-

Agree with this x1000. Like I've said before, he's not a sexy trade acquisition. He doesn't hit any homers. I'm bummed that he switched to Boras, and I can understand the arguments in favor of trading him now, but... I think they may be better off keeping him and either trading him next July or getting draft picks.
As far as it being Ed's job... I have to say, I think Boras stands a lot better chance of getting Bourn's true value (or exceeding it).
-
Mills rests Altuve and his three-game hit streak.
I finally get to watch a game amidst this annoying string of day games and of course I still can't watch Altuve play. I'm starting to believe he doesn't actually exist and I'm a glitch in the matrix.

KA-BONGGGGGG!
FUCK THE CUBS!
-
Lee!
-
El Kabong!
-
CJ looks dreadful.
-
I got back from mass just in time. I've seen both of our long balls. Now, come on bullpen.
-
What a bunch of assholes, booing their own players like that. Classless fucks who don't give a shit if they lose year after year, but by God they love to boo the shit out of their own players. Fucking imbeciles.
-

So like I said earlier, I wonder who plays 3B next year. The closest thing they have to a 3B prospect is, what... Jonathan Meyer, doing so-so in Lancaster? Paredes, hitting OK at Corpus but very shaky defensively (both at 2B and 3B), and raw overall?
-
Wallace gets moved back to 3B, Lee goes to 1B, Pence goes to Philadelphia and Domonic Brown goes to RF.
-
My FTC-fan friend who lived up here moved to Katy last week. She decorated her office with her Cubs pennant, her Cubs coffee mug, her pictures of Wrigley, and every single person who came in to say hello and introduce themselves to her did a double-take and asked her, some incredulously, some disgustedly, "Really?"
-

Booing anyone is shitty behavior in my opinion.

Why are we running on a 1-2 count?

Ask her why they celebrate losing, year after year. Not endure, celebrate. Fucking losers.

He put Boojwah in for his speed, Austro.

Wait, you forgot, Bagwell platoons with Wallace at 3B.

I was unaware that was a "use it or lose it" proposition.

Kvalphabet was drafted last year to be the 3b of the future. He's got A LOT of developing to do to get there.
-
I don't have enough expletives. And I'm damn handy with them.
-
God damn it, Lopez. This ain't the first time.
-
Good play on the bunt by Lopez.
-
f this, hope we fuck em up in the bottom of the inning. Fuck the cubs and their slutty fake titted fan that is always in the back of the camera
-
Just fucking throw it in the dugout. Throw it in the dugout and start a real bench-clearer.
-
Nice job boys. Let's go zitz 'em.
-

The Valleycats' radio guys called him "Kwasi", and, since that's obviously what he'd be called if he ever makes it to Houston, I figure that's as handy a name as any.
But yeah, I'm thinking 2012 could bring a cheapo veteran stop-gap at 3rd. Did Joe Crede retire?
-

Four game hit streak. Suck it, Cubfans.

Altuve! The streak is intact!

Kick it around, you fucking Cub. What a bunch of clowns.

Ha ha ha! More cubfuckery!

Stupid sidelines bullpens. Serves 'em right.

Based on the way that clown threw to 3rd, I'm running on him every chance I get.

c'mon now Hunter.

Three pitch strikeout for our FotF. Nice.

FUCKING PENCE! You fucking suck.
Swung at ball one and two.
Moron.

Bases loaded, one out. Pulling a Cub.
They can't trade Pence quickly enough.

AFTER watching him lose the plate completely in the previous at bat. Pence's head is made of stone.

I cannot believe anybody who has watched him for more than five minutes would contemplate a trade involving top prospects.

Is Campana a good hitter? I know he's a lefty, but.
-
ok, they just walk him to set up the double play, then just twiddle their dicks while he takes off for second?
They fell for that throw-down-to-second trick before.
-
Is Campana a good hitter? I know he's a lefty, but.
No, he's a shitty hitter but he's very fast.
-
Is Campana a good hitter? I know he's a lefty, but.
He's extraordinarily fast. There's no way he'd be a double-play candidate.
-
This is some serious shit here.
-
Call the fucking strike, blue!
-
Bullpen catcher goes for the backhand and deflects the sharply-hit ball into the fans. Classic.

fuck

Fuck. Can we give Pence the L? Carpenter didn't deserve it.

What the hell was that? You dance around to celebrate? Fucking cocksuckers!
-

They IBB'd him with a runner on 3rd only. Just wondering why you don't go after the weak hitter there.
-
Crap this team is bad bad bad.

Solidifying the number one draft pick. Way to plan ahead, boys!

Good question.

Hmm. On the Final Takes from MMPUS there are always lots of shots of hot chicks. On the ones from Wrigley, it's guys, ballplayers and mules in halter tops. Weird.

To make up for not allowing that goat access 100+ years ago, now they have to let every barnyard animal that shows up.
