He put 4 in the zone against Guzman but still didn't get a strike out... but yeah, he is all over the place.

When did people decide it was OK not to pronounce the t if the final syllable of a word begins with t? It drives me crazy. I used to think that it was a Puerto Rican thing since that's the way most New Yorquinos talk, Ma-HA-ehn is where a lot of them live. But then suddenly you start hearing it all over the place. Not long ago I heard some radio story about a bunch of high school kids in Utah and every one of those kids did it. UTAH. I wonder if they call it U'ah.

Nice at-bat there by Ga'is.

One of you burgeoning t-shirt moguls out there needs to make a Stassi T designed like a stussy shirt they used to sell at Yaga in Galleria III back in the day. I’m sure there are at least 7 or 8 40-somethings with fading ying yang tattoos on leathery sunburnt skin that would love to rock one of these to a game complemented by a nice hemp necklace.

Here's another thing that pisses me off. I can't listen to NPR podcasts on my iPod anymore because it doesn't fast forward very well. I have to listen on my phone. The reason I have to fast forward obviously is because those geeks finally woke up to the fact that they could put ads in on and around the podcasts. And I cannot fucking handle ads. So. The guy that NPR chose to read all of these ads, I'm sure he's a nice guy and I'm sure he's nice to old ladies and stray dogs and all that shit, but his job is to speak and he has a fucking speech impediment. I am all for diversity, you know, but come the fuck on. Thith NPR podcatht ith brought to you by Thquarethpace.

I think the tying run must be on deck when he comes in. He entered 5-1 and gave up a run.

They keep talking about all of the Rangers' LOBsters, but the only reason those guys were on base was because the got walked or got HBP. It's not like they were mashing the ball all over the yard all night.

The Astros’ pitchers tried to hand them this game and the Rangers couldn’t take it.  Similar to how the Astros lost the game in New York where the Yankees committed five errors.

So top of the 8th this guy and his daughter (looked about 4 or 5) come down the aisle right to the 3rd base end of the dugout and start screaming "Springer,  hey Springer!! Turn around,  she's got a sign!! Springer!! Springer!!!"

And so on and on and on.  George never turned.  Kemp makes eye contact with them and kind of smiles/nods but his eyes say "um, you're crazy,  he's not gonna look."

The girl was cute as a button so I tell the dude to sit next to me,  the folks who were there left.  Told him wait until they're coming in off the field,  that's the best chance to get acknowledged.

It got them out of the aisle (and to stop yelling at Springer).  She had a poster made with glue and glitter: yay springer yay Altuve yay Reddick. 
Girl: do you like the Astros?
Me, wearing orange jersey/ blue H star cap: yes.  They're my favorite team of all time.
Girl: really?!! They're my favorite too.  Why didn't Springer turn around?
Me: they get in trouble if they look away from the field.
Dad: Ohhhh.
Me thinking to myself: dude,  you're wasted.

The ranger fans around us tolerated this guy well. 
In the 9th I point out to the girl that the guy on second could tie the game and the guy on first could win the game for the rangers. Dad helpfully chimed in "yeah, and then we'd have to really coine back hard . . . Or something)."  All I could do not to slap my forehead.

Mercifully Beltre then hit into the 5-4-3.

Anyway,  don't most parks have ushers to stop that crap?
