Surprised to see Martinez in there, he'd said he had trouble running on that foot.
-
Pence and Bourn each with a run in the 1st. Game tied at 1... (weird, isn't it...).
-
Will this be our opening day 2012 lineup?
-

Except for Castro, could well be. The only question marks are Myers and Barmes, right?

I doubt they are just going to give Castro the job. Q has done enough this year to make Castro earn the job.

Maybe, but it was entirely likely that he'd have started 2011 as the #1 catcher.

That's true, but Q has hit better this season than ever and Castro will have to hit better to get 3-4 starts a Wrekin my opinion.
-
Uggla hits a two run homerun. 3-1 Braves.
-
Will this be our opening day 2012 lineup?
Schafer in CF
-
I think that Schafer is going to have to hit better in order to win the job.
-
Come on, Paredes. This ole shit ain't going to get it done.
-
F you alby.
-
Your 2012 Astros
-
Myers hung a yacker to dipshit.
-
Cocksucker might have been on 2nd had he not admired his work.
-
Well, fuck. I just walked in from work and turned on the TV to see The Smirk drive an RBI single to LF.
-
Myers is pissing himself out there.
-
dipshit, cocksucker, 'The Smirk'...
so many to choose from.
-
Crap.
-
Fuck. Stop hanging that hook. Finish it.
-
Get the bullpen up.
-
Myers didnt show up today
-
Does Myers know we're trying to win this fucking game? Fuck.
-
Myers got any one out yet?
-
Myers got any one out yet?
Uh, no.
-
Bronx cheer after we get an out.
-
Uh, no.
He's due then.
-
He's due then.
He's got one. His ERA so far this game is 108.
-
Ugh!
-
His ERA is 135 now. Which is good as it's down from infinity.
-
Might be a short GZ tonight, folks. I'll be here all night, but I might be alone or with JCIII.
-
That's okay. I can live with Brett spotting 'em 5 early, as it'll make an Astros win that more crushing on the Co-ards souls!
-
I'm here, but cooking. Give me some time.
-
I was hoping for a slightly better start. Brett fucking Myers.
-
Might be a short GZ tonight, folks. I'll be here all night, but I might be alone or with JCIII.
I stuck it out until the bitter end last night. I just sort of ran out of steam in the posting department.
-
So my rabid Yankee fan friend just texted me. He is actually rooting for the Yanks to LOSE so that the team from north of Connecticut will miss the playoffs.
-
I'm here, but cooking.
...Walt?
-

I understand. It's actually more fun to ignore JCIII.
-
...Walt?
No, catfish. Is walt any good?
-

Whatcha making?
I made teal gumbo tonight. My son went hunting this last weekend.
-
Catfish sounds good.
-

I hope those choking fucks blow it. I have never been sold on their pitching, and with the injuries, their staff sucks right now.
-

I'm working. At least I'm not vomiting from watching this shitshow.
-
You know, it would not bother me one bit for him to plunk Twinkie
-
Fuck Twinkie, a backwards K you piece of shit.
-
Catfish sounds good.
Sometimes, there is nothing better than fresh cafish.
Sadly, this was store bought, but still pretty dern good.
-
Whatcha making?
I made teal gumbo tonight. My son went hunting this last weekend.
Now that sounds great!
-
No, catfish. Is walt any good?
That de-criminalization of noodling has really broadened the old recipe horizon, huh?
-

Sorry, I've just been watching a lot of Breaking Bad lately.

Carpenter is a cocksucker.

Damn. Well, a man can't live on raccoon alone.
-
I understand. It's actually more fun to ignore JCIII.
Ignore who?!?
-
Now that sounds great!
It is.
I actually cooked it last night, put it in the fridge all night and in the slow cooker all day. Give the flavors time to meld.
-

I'm here too. Reading more, posting less.

Ya know, when I make gumbo, it seems all of my son's friends decide they need to come over for dinner and spend the night.
I have to save up for gumbo as they don't seem to want to pitch in.
-
Ignore who?!?
Jose Cruz III.
-
Sorry, I've just been watching a lot of Breaking Bad lately.
Never seen it. Rain the abuse on me..........now...
-
Jose Cruz III.
Who?!?
[you gonna catch on this time, or are we gonna have to keep doing this for a while longer...]
-
Jose Cruz III.
Sarc meter I presume needs checking.
-

They seem to go for the worm first....Did I say that out loud?
-
Jose Cruz III.
Sarc meter broken, Mr. Happy?
-

Never got around to starting that series. Very much looking forward to season 2 of the Walking Dead though.
-
OH! I found a guy in the market the other day who was selling the prettiest little round eggplants. I don't particularly like eggplant but these were so nice I had to get some. As I'm standing there fondling them I look down and see that this fucker has several bags of fresh okra under his table. I'm like, What the fuck are you doing with that?! He says, I grow it. Fuck me, I say, let me have a bag of that. I couldn't believe it. It was like sixty cents. I found some okra, too small really to be of any use, in a Chinese fruit stand in the city and it was like four dollars for a little tray of it. So this fellow at my local market is going to get to know me as a regular customer.
-
Oh... Fuck. My sarc meter hasn't been the same since I got clean.

Eggplant and okra. OK, you finally sold me.
-
There is a mediterranean grill down in Clear Lake that has the best eggplant/chickpea dish.

Breaking Bad is excellent. Walking Dead... I found it tough to judge fairly, because I've read the comic. My wife and I both thought some of the acting was a bit overwrought. I am looking forward to seeing what they do with Season 2 though.
-
So, now that you got you some okra, you can make some gumbo, chuck.
-
What did Bud offer everyone to get that playoff game set up?
and why won't it be in a neutral park like MIL?
-
Yankees up 6-0. Red Sucks winning 3-2.
-
Crap, Myers lets every hit.
-
Well fuckety fuck fuck.
-
Yankees up 6-0. Red Sucks winning 3-2.
Thanks for cheering me up.
(sarcasm alert for MH!)
-
And now PENCE guns down uggla at the plate.
-
Man, if for some reason you don't want to fry okra you can roast it and it's amazing. You can also deslime it that way and add it to stuff and bring a little of the roasted flavor.
-
Gleach and Allison on tv....
-
The crowd gave the Wallet a nice hand. He's been a pretty damn good owner.
-
Modern Family time.
-
Eggplant and okra. OK, you finally sold me.
I couldn't believe it. This is a fairly large fruit and vegetable market. There's meat in the back but I can't bring myself to go back there. Anyway, I would say there are about 50 stalls or so. Most people have a lot of the same stuff and most of it is about the same quality. Sometimes you'll see someone with some particularly pretty tomatoes or some particularly nice red onions or whatever, but it's largely pretty static. As you wander around a lot of the vendors will try to sell you. You're not hounded like you're in a middle eastern medina but they will try to entice you a lot of the time. Not this guy. He was just sitting there calmly watching the people passing by. I'd seen his eggplant on my first go-round and I returned to him after picking up some other items elsewhere. When I saw the okra I started freaking out. You NEVER see this! I say. No, not often, he concedes. Where the hell do you get it? I grow it, he says, allowing himself a small smile. When I have it I bring it in. Well, keep growing it, dude, I say, nice work.

I love okra. Raw in salads is good. Sauteed with onions, bacon and fresh tomatoes is better.
-
So, now that you got you some okra, you can make some gumbo, chuck.
That's what I'm saying. The gumbo I made a while back was pretty damn good without okra, but now it will be 10 times better.
Roasted okra? Fuck me, I wish I had some left and I'd go down and try that right now.
-
I love okra. Raw in salads is good. Sauteed with onions, bacon and fresh tomatoes is better.
I love it too. But I just never see it out here in NorCal.
-

Raw okra is seriously under-rated.

Nice hustle down the line, Pujols, you tickturd.

No kidding: I started tearing up. Even though okra is easy to get here, most of the time, and I have even grown some.....my wonderful aunt had some of the best okra I have ever eaten, and I saw her for the first time in 18 years this last Saturday. Sweet story.

To roast it, cut it up in bite size and roll it around in equal parts balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Salt it and roast at 450 for five minutes, the toss and put it back in the oven again. Do that again so you've cooked it 15 minutes and it's ready. If you're going to put it in something else, use water instead of vinegar.
It's like crack. You can eat it hot or cold.

The Braves skipper has really mismanaged his bully thjs year through grinding young arms.

I was full. I may go to the store, now.

Fuck, JD. Gotta swing, Dude.

Astros wildfire support commercial....and it gets cut off?

None of you fuckers mentioned that its a no-hitter - would be a fitting end
-

There was a hit before I could say anything....I think...
-
Nice video of J.R. Richard.
-
My mom's side of the family has their own okra variety. Started by an aunt in Oklahoma. They've been growing it and sharing the seeds for years. It's good, grows big and fast and always tender yet crisp though not stalky.
-

+1
-

I believe Altuve got a hit.
But a shutout would be a fitting end.

Would you be willing to share?

I would farm the fuck out of that.
-

I'll get some seeds mailed to me.

Only the best stuff

I remember listening to my portable transistor radio walking around the neighborhood for Richards's first start, which was against the Giants. Big Man struck out 15 and won 4-3. Great memory. I was nervous because he walked a lot of hitters.
-
Okay boys, you spotted 'em a touchdown. No time to kick the crap out of 'em in the second half!!!
-
You will be my hero.
Dang, mine too if I can get in on this.
-
Sasquatch commercials would be much better with more bloodshed.
-

I'll get some seeds this winter for spring time planting.

I agree. Sasquatch lets those fuckwads off too easily.
-
Patton pitching vs. Sawks
-

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou...
-
So if I get these seeds to you guys and you don't grow the best fucking okra you ever had, it's not the seeds, it's the grower. Just saying.
-
I'll get some seeds this winter for spring time planting.
I'll start the new garden area this weekend. Seriously.
-
Sasquatch commercials would be much better with more bloodshed.
It would be better if Sasquatch was rampaging through the Turdinal dugout, body parts flying onto the field.
-
So if I get these seeds to you guys and you don't grow the best fucking okra you ever had, it's not the seeds, it's the grower. Just saying.
I am willing to shoulder that burden.
-
So imagine, all those dudes are gonna buy that Ford truck 'cuz Brett Michaels says it rocks!
-
Brett Myers. Now he's done.

Those are the guys with the GnR tickets.

I promise. Those seeds will be given the most fertile environment I am able to provide.
Even though that sounds bad.
I do know my Bible sir. "On the night of their betrothal, the wife shall open to the man as the furrow to the plow and he shall work in her, in and again, 'til she bring him to his fall and rest him then upon the sweat of her breast."

I was celebrating Altuve's hit like a Kansas City faggot at a Liza Minnelli concert. That's how bad things are with this fucking team. I cheer the team's not getting no hit as the Thirds win the wild card. Ridiculous.
-
Venters just walked bases loaded with two down, up 1 in the 8th
-

How was Liza? Was she splendid?

Let's keep Pujols away from 100 RBI's

Gets the K to get out of it.
Braves starters have made it into the 7th only 3 times since August 26.
-
Raw okra is seriously under-rated.
You tried it?
-
Tarp comes out in Baltimore with Sox up 3-2, mid 7. Are you fucking kidding me??
-
Do NOT let Pooholes get that fucking 100th RBI.
-
Do NOT let Pooholes get that fucking 100th RBI.
This. And keep him below .300.
-
How was Liza? Was she splendid?
Fabulous.
-
Don't remember seeing that Astros 50 commercial before - I remember going to the last game before they took down the scoreboard and crying at the end - anyone know what year that was?
-
Do you have a garden going at the Shack?
Not yet. i need to build an irrigation system that pumps water out of the river. Then I'll start a garden and plat some fruit trees. This summer was too dry and hot to grow anything without a pretty intense and well regulated watering system.
-
Fabulous.
Oh girl.
-
Don't remember seeing that Astros 50 commercial before - I remember going to the last game before they took down the scoreboard and crying at the end - anyone know what year that was?
Crap, no. I was there but I don't remember the year.
-
You tried it?
Of course. How the hell would I know otherwise? As a kid we'd have okra all the time but it was invariably either boiled or fried. As I got older and figured out there were other ways to treat it my life improved considerably. You want to know who knows how to use okra? The Japanese, that's who.
-
How was Liza? Was she splendid?
She was fierce!
-
She was fierce!
I thought she was pretty hot. In like 1972.

Well most people just act like I am speaking Mongolian if I tell them okra is good raw. They certainly would never try it.
-
My dad canned (in mason jars) some real good spicy pickled okra.

Great. The Jakes get the Phils if they get in. I hope that they get swept.

Is it just me or is carpenter's nose bright red?

My guess was '88. It happened to be correct. Oh the good old days of cig signs n light board representation of pistol violence.
-
Damn. Altuve walked.
-
I wouldve been 4, so that sound about right. Mustve been down visiting from Tulsa (my secret shame is that I'm an okie)

I was there for a Oilers game when they had already tore it out and I thought it was the '88 season but I wasn't positive.

Hallucinogenics were pretty popular back then I guess...
-
Haven't seen a Brown Hand Center spot in awhile. It's been Jack in the Box and messing' with sasquatch ads.
-
So Biz gets liquored up and admits he's an Okie. Something good's come from this night after all.
-
Worse, I'm stone cold sober

A little surprised they didn't turn into Dick DeGuerin ads.

As my grandfather would have said, That's your own damn fault.
My grandfather's name was Woodrow Wilson Echols. Until he was six he was simply called Brother, and his siblings called him nothing other than Brother until their respective deaths. Schooling apparently started at six in those days and in order to have a name of some official standing he was tasked with naming himself. He chose Woodrow Wilson. But that's not the odd part. I recently found out that he was not the only person of that era with that same name. Isn't that strange? Two Woodrow Wilson Echolses running around in the 30's and 40's.

A lesser man would have opted for Cool Cal Echols

My dad's first choice for me was Nolan Ryan Daniel but for better or worse my mom excercised the veto
-
Mother. Fucking. Worthless. Braves.
-
Crap, Braves. I bet that they lose in regulation.
-
I don't need another reason to hate the fucking Braves.
-
JD is off the hook tonight.
-
going to the bottom of the ninth....tied.....
Go Braves!!
I just don't know if I can do that.............until I look at the damn redbirds on the screen.
GO BRAVES!!
-
JD is off the hook tonight.
Didn't know I was on it...
-
Did you have a crush on Basil Rathbone, too?
He was no showgirl. Bad hat, though.
-
Jackoff Carpenter is hot with that snake tonight.
-
Didn't know I was on it...
Oh, you're definitely not.
-
Oh, you're definitely not.
Yep, that sarc meter is still on the fritz...
-
Shit. I was already looking forward to never having to watch corporan again.
-
Yep, that sarc meter is still on the fritz...
I told you. I got none no mo.
-
Braves in bottom 9 looked like 90% of 2011 Astro hitters up there...
Whoever this Medlin guy is, still pitching, 2 out, 0 on in top 10.
-
Stop nibbling, Pendleton.
-
crap
-
Might be starting to be worthwhile to check yanks/rays
-
bottom 10, Bourn due up 2nd for Braves.
-
Come on, let's break up the whitewash.
-
Well, well, Evan...
-
Might be starting to be worthwhile to check yanks/rays
Really got one now, 7-6 yanks
-
Might be starting to be worthwhile to check yanks/rays
Thanks for the tip.
-
Next guy singles on the next pitch, Damon up
-
Fuck Pujols. We denied him 100 ribbies and a .300 BA.
-
Down to one last out for the season.
-
8-0 FINAL.
-
Fuck. I can't believe we're done.
-
Shitfuck.
-
I do not like The Void.
-
It wasn't a very fun season.
-
It had its moments.
-
It wasn't a very fun season.
No. But no more Astros baseball until next spring. That sucks.
-
Well, well, Evan...
I knew he'd get his 30th tonight.
-
No. But no more Astros baseball until next spring. That sucks.
Well, I always enjoy the regular season, no matter how shitty we are.
-
Fuck!! Larry didn't slice it enough
-
I miss Astros baseball. Already.
-
Well, I always enjoy the regular season, no matter how shitty we are.
This.
-
YES!!
Rays tie it up!
-
Holee shit, rays!
-
The Yankees broadcast crew is going crazy. I've never seen anything quite like it. If you've ever listened to Doray when the Cubs do something good you'll have an idea.
-
Nothing seemed to portend that shot
-
Beautiful!!!
-
YES!!
Rays tie it up!
Holy crap. 2-2, 2 outs. WOW!
-
WOW.
-
So, if rays win, what are odds bud calls in a postponement to delay playoff to give sox pitcher an extra day of rest, if the club can pull out a win tomorrow?
-
So, where's Das with the Baltimore weather report? Are they gonna resume tonight or what?

There must be a free Lynyrd Skynyrd concert in Tampa tonight because there is fucking nobody there. Hell, even the stadium in Atlanta appears full and those fuckers don't even show up for playoff games.
-
Pence just knocked in an RBI. Phils up.
-
Well, this season has just sucked all the way around. It's obvious the Yankees are going to win the whole thing and then they'll announce that the Astros are moving to the AL.

Stupid fucking Braves, man.

I'm assuming that since they've already given us the schedules for next year the Astros won't wind up in the AL until 2013. I hope.

I hope the Cards get swept out of the 1st round, partly because LaNebrius left Carpenter in to throw a complete game shutout so that jackass fucktard could rub it in on the Astros that much more. Fuck them and fuck Hunter Pence for playing all 14 fucking innings of that game, I hope he makes ridiculous running and fielding mistakes that cost them the NLCS. I hope the Tigers or Rays or whoever plays the Dbacks (ugh) in the WS. Fuck Bud Selig and his kick-em-while-they're-down fucking ulterior lying agenda. What, all those fucking years of sticking to slot didn't curry any favor with you, mop-head? And fuck Jim Crane for (apparently) fucking caving in, how dare you fucking betray the fans and the 50-year tradition of this franchise just so you can own your very own baseball team, fuck you.
And who the fuck is Jake McGee? Rays, WTF? Fuck the Yanks.
-
Fuck yeah, O's!
-
Orioles tie it up with 2 out in the ninth!
What an amazing night of baseball. Except in Houston, of course. But, wow!
-
2 outs, none on in B9 for the Orioles B9. Pappelbon on the hill. Double. Last batter - 2 outs, 2 balls, 2 strikes, RBI double. Tie ballgame. Meanwhile, NYY has runners on 1B and 3B in T12 with no outs and can't score!!!
-
I'm not sure what's worse... Losing 106 games, or having an 8 1/2 game WC lead collapse in the last 3 weeks of the season.
....
AHH! Papelsmear blows it!! Let's go O's!!!
-
Fuck you, Papelbon, you punk!
-
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
ORIOLES WIN! ORIOLES WIN! ORIOLES WIN!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
-
Oh man, Crawford is going to get roasted now.
-
WOW AGAIN!
Crawford is going to catch hell in Boston forever.
-
RAYS WIN!
-
Unreal.
-
FUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
-
Dear Lord, that was beautiful.
-
Wow, what a fuckin' crazy 5 minutes there! Man, that is... something.
-
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
-
Fantastic! I love that Papelbon gets to think about this all off-season.
-
Thank you BBG's for a great night of baseball.
(on the east coast)
-
WOW AGAIN!
Crawford is going to catch hell in Boston forever.
Yeah, that was a lame attempt and throw. It was like it didn't occur to him that that could be the season right there.
-
Fuck me what a night. This is the best sport.
-
Yay AL baseball!
Wait...
-
I realize that tonight was extraordinary and I know Selig isn't the brightest, but how did it take so long for him to figure out that ending the regular season on a weeknight is a good idea?
-
With any luck, Lidge will now be released from the stocks and Papelbon (and his Wagner-esque stubbornness about pounding fastballs down the pipe) can take his place as the reliever "ruined" by a late-inning hit.
Come to think of it, Lidge should get a chance to go back up against The Big Smirk in the upcoming playoff series, shouldn't he?

I was driving home from work last night and finally managed to pick up the Astros game on 740AM. Milo was yammering along, as usual. Then another old guy started talking. Then Milo. Then the other old guy. It's about a 12 minute drive from my office to home, and I didn't know if the Astros were even playing or not until I was about a minute from the house. I appreciate that Milo enjoys interviewing Wally Moon, but holy shit, at least an occasional score/describing a play would be nice. Instead I listened to Milo waxing poetic about the old days the entire ride home only to discover after listening to 10+ minutes of blathering that the Astros were already down 6 to nothing.
Needless to say, I was a little miffed.

That happened while I was driving to work. It would've been nice to get some nugget of information within that whole interview but it was pretty much Wally saying that he'd seen Stan Musial and Red Schoendienst lately and he wanted the Cardinals to win, and Milo echoing what Wally said and then pimping the book. It sounded exactly like what you'd think it was, a couple of octogenarians stumbling gamely through pleasantries and it took up the whole freaking inning.

How many more years for Milo? I stopped betting against him a long time ago.

If we go to the AL maybe he won't be able to find us.

Won't work. Milo no longer travels with the team. We'd have to move the club.

Great article from Posnanski on last night: http://joeposnanski.blogspot.com/2011/09/baseball-night-in-america.html#more

If we move, he stays longer to make sure he checks off every park.

I totally forgot about his obcession with that ball park thing. I haven't heard him in years.

back to the game for a brief moment: i really believed that Myers would shut them down. that game was as disappointing for me as any this year.
on a brighter note: Matt B. finished at 10-4, 3.25.

Matt B. had a fantastic year. Myers' last five weeks turned back into that rotten pumpkin at 7 pm Wednesday.

I had the same feeling. I was stunned as that first inning unfolded.

Tracy inexplicably left Matt in one game to absorb a 10H, 7 ER beating in one inning. it made no sense, and the Colo papers questioned his reasoning. that one game really affected his final stats.

Is Tracy a prick, or was his bullpen really that bad off?

You and I both probably did our share of taking one for the team on days when we didn't have it. I still have the scars of a fine six run pasting in 2/3 of an inning. However, I'd think that only extenuating circumstances would cause that to happen in the big leagues.

...and single-handedly fucked my fantacrap season.

I kind of got the feeling Myers might be in for a rough one when I realized that I could guess what pitch he was going to throw next. (fastball in, curve away. fastball in...) And of course, leaving many of them right over the middle didn't help.
