Typical of my fantasy team luck these days. I sit Alex Rios because I didn't like the matchup, and he scores 16 points. In the meantime, I start Jerry Hairston, Jr. In CF, and Donnie Baseball fucked me over and didn't put him in tonight's lineup. Shitfuck.

will mills ever let a lineup go a whole week

He's trotted this one out a few times recently.
-
Altuve doubles and Lee drives him home with a clutch two out knock.

Consider. The. Source.

Bud slowly building up on the cheese velocity.

Abreu has a really good eye and has for his entire career.

Is throwing first pitch strikes considered impolite?
-
Damn that Abreu feller is a tough out.
-

Apparently. And going full on most of the hitters is no way to stay in a ballgame past the sixth frame.
-
Bogusevic with a too rare hit to lead off the top of the second.
-
Billingsley already at 30 tosses with none out in the second. CJ singles Bogusevic to 3B. Runners at the corners with nobody out for Castro.
-
Castro has a good at bat, working the count full before walking to fill them up for Norris with nobody out.
-
Castro gotta drive a run in there, not walk.
-
Norris strikes out. It's Schreefer's turn.
-
We better get a crooked number in this inning or it will come back to bite us in the ass.
-
Honeycutt already out as Billingsley is around 50 pitches with one out. Here comes Altuve.
-
Bases drunk with nobody out...1 run. That's not good.
-
Blown opportunity, but we get one. 2-0 Bottom 2
-
JD Martinez has a huge loop in his swing. He reminds me of Jason Lane. Late on a good fastball, lost on a good curve.
-

I was wondering why that looked so familiar.

With 2 outs sure, but with none out to load the bases? (And asking, not critiquing).

I don't particularly like his upper body movement in general.
-

With the pitcher up next, a punchout keeps the double play in order, and you waste the man on 3B with no outs. It worked out as Schafer drew a walk, but the number 8 hitter has to drive that run in. Not that he should swing at bad pitches, but he had a couple of good pitches to hit.
-

With the pitcher coming up and the bases loaded, you have to get a hit. The walk scored a run, but it created a problem. However, the big disappointment was Altuve missing two strikes.

Bud shaking his head after retiring Billingsley. I imagine he wanted to end that inning with fewer pitches.
-
The three Jeffs? Bagwell, Kent and Burroughs?
-
Oh, Castro. You gotta swing at that.
-
Fuck Castro, how can you take that pitch with RISP?
-
Gwynn Jr looks like Marvin Gaye.
-

That's two iffy AB's w/RISP. SIX LOBsters thus far.
-
This is a strange fielding inning. A rare 2U and an even rarer 1U.

Need a grounder to Carlos for the 3U.

How tall is Norris really? Kind of looks likea midget out there.

A player gets credited with a LOB when he reaches base on a non error or DP?!?

Is it just the angle or am I jut drunk?

Yes.

Crapapples. My guy Ethier doubles to LCF, scoring Herrera. 2-1 Bud running up a pitch count too.
-
Finishing the night with some Balvenie 15 single cask I got as a going away present - not bad stuff at all.

Frustrating the pitch to Ethier with a base open.

Nice. Someone really wanted you to go away.
-

You may be drunk, and from what Bench and Chuck say if you're trying to locate housing in NYC you probably should get yourself drunk if you're not already. That said, dude looked pretty darned Lilliputian in a couple of those shots...
-
Can you blame them? Got a boz of cigars from em too.
-

The six LOBsters was a reference to the number for the whole club, OSF. On the road, that's not good. Billingsley has been wobbly, but we've not really hurt him yet.
-
Looked positively wandyesque to me.
-
That's two iffy AB's w/RISP. SIX LOBsters thus far.
It's not a LOB when you walk, and there certainly weren't three runners on, either time. But hey, if it fits the Castro sucks theory, don't let facts get in the way.
-

Them things will kill you.

Had one the other night - enjoyed it, but don't think I can really appreciate.

Got it, thanks! [And agreed, they've been crap with RISP so far...]
-
Or, in other words, 5 years worth of cigars for me.
-
Not a whole box - 6 or 7
Still, that's 90 bucks worth of cigars. They must really want you gone.
-
We're letting BIllingsley back into this ball game.

Come to Dallas in the next 10 days and you can help me smoke them.

You've been in namby-pamby Portland too long. I shock these people in Napa with my political incorrectness all of the time. It's fun.

I'm fine with being an ass or being politically incorrect - not the issue. I'm not fine with giving Mrs. HH a reason to kick my ass... Its a self-preservation thingie...

Bud at 79 pitches through 3.1 innings. Not good. Several full counts already. He really needs that changeup.

Seems like he's just plain 'off' tonight. Nothing really working well for him...
-
Way to go mini-Bud
-
Damn. Gwynn, Jr. Does look like Marvin Gaye.
-
Wish I could be "off" and hold the best team in NL to 1 run through 3.7
-
Ah shitfuck.
-
Well fuck that
-

Misc. FYI... Scully just said LAD has already fouled off 22 Norris pitches so far. Pretty amazing...
-
Just saying, might not have happened if we didn't have a pocket sized 2B
-
Bud's luck finally ran out. Crap.
-
Get the guy at the plate, Bud.
-
These west coast games suck - FYB and FYN
-
Another full count. Change planes, Bud. Let's get this over with.
-
Bud and Castro are not on the same page.
-
Bud's not going to make it out of the 4th at this rate.
-
Yet another full count.
-
I come home and my wife and daughters are on the couch, watching Pretty Woman. I'm not sure that isn't a better choice than this fucking train wreck.
-
Bud is no more than two inches taller than I am. There is no way he is six feet.
-
Ron -
First of all, I am confident there is more than one zTV somewhere in your house.
Two - if you really think PW is a better choice you are a lost fucking cause
-
So what does that make him? 5'2, 5'3?

Why are you always so negative about the Astros, dude?

I crush your little head *crush* *crush*

Thank goodness that inning is FINALLY OVER...

They're full for Ethiier, who can't get it done. 3-2 Top 5 Bud over 100 pitches..
-

This is chuck, not Alkie.
-
We've been at this two fucking hours and we're starting the fifth inning? Fuck.

Of course, Alkie is obviously dead

I've never seen PW, so I have no clue, although whatsherface isn't the ugliest woman I've ever seen.
And yes, I'm watching the game on the TV in the bedroom.
-
That reminds me, Biz, next time I'm in New York you and Alkie and I are going to have to go to lunch. I'm thinking Gray's Papaya.
-
Why are you always so negative about the Astros, dude?
I'm one cranky bitch.
-
I can agree on point 1, esapecially back then. However, IIRC, you don't get to see shit, especially given that we are talking about a pro.

Gray's Papaya is an oasis. You can't beat the Recession Special.

Come before the end of July - I will be a bachelor.
-
Oh, good. Is this the first time they've run this commercial tonight?
-
Gray's Papaya is an oasis. You can't beat the Recession Special.
No, you can't. I like Papaya King too, but I'm an agreeable sort of fellow.
-
I can't believe they let Billingsley off the hook. I can believe Schafer striking out, but Altuve? To that slop?
-
Come before the end of July - I will be a bachelor.
Alkie can introduce you to the best Dominican hookers in the Bronx.
-
No, you can't. I like Papaya King too, but I'm an agreeable sort of fellow.
I don't know what the hell that drink is - yeah, maybe it's got some papaya in it - but it's incredibly refreshing when it's 90 degrees on a funky, steamy night.

Sure, papaya drink. It's good. I prefer maracuyá.

God damn. Fucking Dee Gordon.

Have an epic week coming up - bachelor party in Charleston, followed by solo week in NYC. Yes, I am a terrible husband and father.

So Bud doesn't survive five. We saw it coming from the very beginning. Just not sharp tonight.

Bud FINALLY given the hook... Thank goodness!

I once "met" a very attractive barmaid from Charleston in DC.

By the way, there's no reason to go all the way to the Bronx for Dominican hookers. Unless you just like going to the Bronx for some reason.

Right - should've said -
Because I am a fat fuck, most excited about eating at Husk and McCradys.
Wife is nursing 12-18 times a day, plenty of tiddies around the house.

It was a surreal week. I was there for a video shoot. Maybe I'll recount some of it sometime.
The first time my buddy and I left the hotel that evening we passed by a guy who was trying to get people to come and watch his wife, who was getting fucked in the back seat of a car. We passed on that.

I'm sitting here trying to remember how many times I've been shot at - I think it's just twice - and I've had guns pointed at me a few more times than that, but the one that really sticks out in my memory is the one that didn't happen. My wife and I were vacationing in LA one summer and we'd rented a 5.0 Mustang convertible. It was great. In the land of Mercedes and Rolls and Ferraris, that car turned heads everywhere we went. I loved tear-assing around LA and up the coast in it.
Our hotel was around Highland and Franklin, and we'd been driving around for a couple of days with the top down before I saw a paper. Seems there was a sniper shooting drivers right around that intersection, that we'd been through at least a dozen times and pretty much had to go through every day. I could feel the giant target on top of my head every time I went through that area, it was creepy as hell.

I lived in a pretty sketchy neighborhood in DC for a couple of years. It's the fucking Garden of Eden over there now but back then it was bad. One night walking home a couple of kids jumped out of the bushes and one of them stuck a big ass pistol in my face. I remember thinking very clearly that these 15 year olds could not possibly have any conception of the gravity of what they were doing and that they might very well shoot me because they were too stupid not to. They didn't.
-
It's Rhiner Cruz!
Can't be, dude that's pitching is throwing strikes and has his hat on straight...
-
It's just not cool at all. I'm not cowboy enough, and wasn't back then, to try to do something about it. The only thing on my mind usually was doing whatever it was they wanted that would make the gun go away.
The first time I had one pointed at me I think I was five. We were in the car, dad was driving, mom in the passenger seat and I was in the back seat, leaning over the front seat, looking out the windshield which was the normal posture for 1965 driving. We rolled up to a convenience store for something, pulled up to the front to park and two guys came running out with guns. One of them pointed it at us in the car. My mom screamed, "Get down!" at me, dad ducked, threw it in reverse and jammed on the gas, and I just sat there, watching this guy point his gun at me and then as we backed up he ran off.

The Brocail Effect.

CJ walks. Astros really need to get to this guy before Jansen comes in.

It's that crazy woman with the big ass again.
-
Now Megan Landry, on the other hand...

Ah hell. Jansen's in.

Now Megan Landry, on the other hand...
She's hot.

Tie game!

Marwin walks. Runners on
first and third every base, two out, Schafer up.

The pressure mounts for Jansen as the bases are loaded.

JASON FRIGGIN' CASTRO!!!

Damn. Schafer flies out to center, but it's tied going to the ninth.

Boy, CJ's defense has really improved.

Marwin can't come up with the barehand though. Gwynn's up.
-
Gwynn fans on a cutter up and in. Herrera up.
-
Herrera slaps one just beyond Gonzalez that Schafer can't get to, and Hairston moves to third. Runners on the corners, two outs, Sands up.

The Cowardly Lion is back, and her seats are better tonight.
