Is it so far fetched to consider the stros still in the running for Darvish? I know it would ultimately bump Morton from the rotation but what about the 6 man rotation? With Keuchel “possibly” leaving after next year and Morton in the same boat, does it not make sense to create the “super rotation” especially if he could be had without going to 5 or 6 years?

We met some good people tonight. I probably heard more than 300 various “f*** the Astros chants”. As I am typing this, we are on the d train listening to a chant of “f*** altuve”. I don’t think I have ever heard anything like that in Minute Maid - or even the dome. If the stros win tomorrow, we may guy try to come back on Wednesday because t I would honestly rather sit in the comfort of my living room than hear more of that. It kind of made me sad.

Thanks y'all. Had the cheesesteak "wiz with" and it wasn't bad. My fiancé is a Jims on 5th fan so that's where our steaks usually come from. She says pats and geno's are for tourists.
The game was pretty hard to watch. Beltran isn't exactly fleet footed anymore but we all know that. It just looked like they lacked hustle.
The guy 2 seats in front of me took a ball off the face and he has some cool stitch marks. Ball went right over the net - the lower part - and I am definitely for extending the nets now. I worry about the kids. We were all paying attention and the ball caromed off a rail.
LOTS of Astros fans in the seats. About 10 people I spoke to were headed up to Cooperstown.
Now back to my corner to lurk and hope for some trade news.

I don't post a lot but I am currently stationed in Turkey at Incirlik, and last week was pretty crazy. Early Saturday morning we lost power to the base and didn't have it for about a week. Everyone basically moved into the few buildings that were run off of generators. We still flew missions in support of the current fight - almost without a beat. It was pretty awesome to be a part of.

Didn't get to go to the game today. I had to do the work thing. I really wanted to see lyles throw too. I'm staying at the same hotel as the team and they've been really nice.
On a side note - on the C-130, if the apu generator switch is in the "on" position, the aircraft will not let you supply power with a ground power unit. Now you know
And knowing is half the battle.
Seriously though, the few days I got to see this team, I think they're going to win in bunches. They seem streaky to me. They were aggressive on the base paths and I liked that a lot.

Paredes credited with 2 errors today. This game was a lot sloppier than yesterday's - for both teams. 3 errors for both teams. Wallace, paredes and Krauss all homered. Oklahoma just outslugged Albuquerque. This game reminded me of the analogy usually associated to golf - learning how to win ugly. But it can't be all bad if you're scoring ten runs. Everyone in the lineup except Jaramillo had hits today.
Seaton went 4 and a third and I think did better than his line shows. He kept the ball down well (11 groundouts - 0 fly outs)
I got a bunch of pictures if y'all want to see em I'm gonna put them on the Facebook. (I don't know a better place to put em. My name is scott barrier and I think the Facebook says I live in Spain still)

Went to the game tonight here in Albuquerque. OkC getting the win over the isotopes, here's what I saw with my untrained eye -
Cosart went 5 strong giving up a run and 3 hits. Got into a jam in the 4th and worked his way out of it pretty well. The curve was ptty nasty tonight and he hit 97 a few times. Stayed around 93 94 most of the night.
Musick went 3 allowing only one hit. Works really fast.
Paredes got a horrible read on a hard hit ball running in about 3 steps then realizing the ball was cruising over his head -
Going to the next 3 games so if y'all are lookin for something specific let me know.

Well after a week in Albuquerque I really like this town. The food has been great I just wish I was drinking right now (once a year I stop drinking for thirty days just to prove to myself that I don't HAVE to drink)
I hooked up with a lot of decent golfers from the base and will be playing some of the nicer courses in the area. This was after I won a hundred bucks off of the rest of my foursome too.
Also going to see Band of Horses on Wednesday night, with a really hot girl I met the other day. - a friend of mine is stationed here and his band was playing and in between sets they had a burlesque show. This chic was working with them but not dancing. She was selling raffle tickets and basically lookin good.
Looking forward to Wednesday and just want to say thanks to everybody that gave me some info. I constantly come back here looking for things to do.
Also going to see some of the isotopes games soon.

I rarely log on and most of the time when I try to my computer tells me to check my cookie settings - but - props to limey - my iPad has no problems. I came back to the states recently and got tickets to a game from my aunt. She was in Beaumont and normally can't get these tickets but she said I was military and yada yada yada got the tickets - anyways, we are in the diamond club, the kind where you're sitting next to Barbara bush - except I don't really see her at the games anymore. But around the 4th inning I go to get a new margarita and I turn around and see Jeff freekin bagwell about 3 feet from me at a table talking with someone. I proceed to freak out and it seems the only words I can say are "holy shit, and Jeff bagwell" but I tell my cousin and the girl I'm on a date with not to bother him and we make it back to our seats and my cousin "goes to the bathroom". She gets back and says that bags wants to see me. He said thanks for doing the military thing and then he said something about how bad the stros were right now and I started to go into the "Astros are in a better way than they were after 2005" thing and he quickly ended the conversation. I didn't want to ask about him not being in the booth this year cause I didn't even want to hint at rehab and things of the sort. But all in all - pretty kick ass game.

I grew up in Alvin and got to play on Nolan Ryan field in high school. Ryan was in the stands for one of the best games I ever had. It was something retarted like 15 k's in 7 innings. I could do no wrong that night and after the game Nolan pat me on the back and told me i threw a hell of a game.
I also had a ton of Delia's napkins with his autograph but they were destroyed in one of the many floods since i left Alvin.

I guess i'm in the SP category as not being the best but had my time or two in the sun. I played on the Alvin JV team i think it was my sophmore year. we were playing clear lake. I always hated clear lake cause my cousins were from there and the girls were way hotter. i was a left handed pitcher/1B. I happened to get the start that night and noticed Nolan Ryan sitting in the bleachers as he probably still does. not a big thing in alvin as i usually saw him at Delia's off HWY 35 - great mexican food by the way. all i remember from the game was i had never thrown a shutout. after the game sitting on a knee as usual - coach garza tells me i had freekin 15 K's that night. i don't throw hard and just threw a fastball / splitter / change. nothing overpowering but i still love to throw the splitter when i play catch with my dad.
forgot to say - i got a slight nod from Nolan. coolest thing ever.

The waiter walks off and returns with a plate or sizzling fajitas, setting them down right in front of Morgan. The waiter asks if there's anything else. Morgan continues staring blankly at him, dead silent. Finally, the waiter goes to the kitchen and comes back with a plate of enchiladas, which he deposits squarely before Morgan.

maybe i should clarify cause i didn't mean to get everyone riled up. everett is coming back from eight weeks off. i know if i had that much time off i'd be a little rusty. and i'm not trying to say give AE less playing time, cause that's not the answer. but we're playing good ball without him, so maybe ease him back into the starting gig.
"Maybe i'm just not gettin' ya here, but are you saying that you would start Loretta at SS and Bruntlett at 2nd??? Then replace Loretta with Everett?"
no, i'd start loretta at short and BGO at second. i know this is a horrible up the middle combo, but i just can't bring myself in my imaginary role as skipper to not start biggio. late inning defensive replacement of everett and bruntlett.
i didn't mean to hijack the thread and just got off a graveshift so i'm going to sleep and as usual i'll read everything that went on while you guys are sleeping or whatever you're doing.

And (b) in your scenerio above you assume Bruntlett's on the team when AE returns, he may not be.
A. No doubt in my mind either. I'm not garner, I'm an aircraft mechanic. I'd do it to solely rely on loretta's bat as much as possible and everett's glove late in the game. and 2. Bet you're right there as well. Can't argue with you cause i don't see them demoting Burke again, sad as it is

I know i'm jumping in late, but 2005 NLCS, i forget which game it was but im in the military and i was living in Spain at the time, and i get up at 4:00 in the morning. Just in time to see Pujols drive one to left center. Immedietly after my best friend, who ended up screwing my wife, but thats a different story, called to talk crap. that's probably one of the worst losses for me.

CC couldn't be worse out there than Burke. but where would Burke move if a deal went through? or if he was involved, who plays second when biggio is done? Carl Crawford is greasy fast. and i forgot if mark loretta is signed for just this year or was it a 2 year deal?

Whats up, long time reader first time poster. I grew up in Alvin and i've lived in Hawaii for the last year and a half. The Hawaiian winter league is here and i got to see the really unspectacular Koby Clemens and a few other prospects. as far as other ballgames - the UH games are pretty cool and the big beer and garlic fries goes a long way. It'll be nice to have another astros fan on the island.
