Ok, here's my next question; how many lead-off HRs has Roy Oswalt given up in his career?
Roy Oswalt Opponent Against: .253 .299 .381Roy Oswalt Opponent Against with Bases Loaded: .121 .188 .172

I thought this was interesting:Roy Oswalt Opponent Against: .253 .299 .381Roy Oswalt Opponent Against with Bases Loaded: .121 .188 .172
When the going gets tough...
Did I hear them right that JRR threw out the first pitch?
Roy's a stud.
Bob Gibson: .174 .191 .257 Sandy Koufax: .250 .353 .491 Randy Johnson: .231 .272 .342 Roger Clemens: .234 .260 .376 Nolan Ryan: .207 .274 .318 Tom Seaver: .206 .236 .316
Where the fuck is everyone?
Supper?
I'm here. Who else do you need?
I'm lurking...like always
what's the on field delay about.
I didn't realize so many people were reading. It looked like the GZ tonight was pretty much Amy swearing and me looking up stats.How bout them Astros!!
Was it a foul ball? Was it a strike? What language is Bruce speaking? Does Phil like white or dark? Is Brad wearing pants? They're sort of trying to figure out the answers to all of these questions.
At first, I figured...you know, I bet all the great dominant pitchers have similar stats.With bases loadedBob Gibson: .174 .191 .257 Sandy Koufax: .250 .353 .491 Randy Johnson: .231 .272 .342 Roger Clemens: .234 .260 .376 Nolan Ryan: .207 .274 .318 Tom Seaver: .206 .236 .316
So, since this is the gamezone, let me throw out the rant you will never hear about again.I can't view or hear the game.My 16-yr old...the kid that I had arrested for stealing a 4-wheeler from the neighbor's HUNTING LEASE!!!!I...I HAVE to go to counseling because I am a bad parent. I get home and my wife offers to give me a drink after complaining that a liter of vodka a day is too much, and I ask how strong she is going to make the drink, and she fills it to the brim and then some...I digress...She fixes me a drink and then tells me how the kid has wrecked my truck, my baby, my 12 year old, extended cab beauty, and he misses work (at the freaking dealership where he works as a mechanics' helper) so he can drive around thinking about his problems......and you complain because I don't post enough to keep you entertained?
...and you complain because I don't post enough to keep you entertained?
Damn dude, that sucks. Wrecked your truck?
Good job Bradley! Single to right-center.
That's what Milinary School is for. Every time I fucked up, my dad threatened to send me there. He figured I'd have too much fun in the Army and that making hats would learn me good.
Is that where they teach the kid to make hats?
You had your own kid arrested?Pour another drink brother!
Hence the second part of the same post, yes.
Damn strait I had him arrested.Not the first offense and he said he was innocent. (I had a call from someone who thought he might be involved so I called to clear his name)When he confessed, and I knew he had lied to me, I had the neighbor press charges. If they don't learn when they are charged as a minor, they could be really hurt in the future. He was lucky he wasn't shot at the deer lease.It hurt. Badly.
Every time I fucked up, my mom threatened to take me to Cloth World.
Damn, she's tough!
That was hilarious!! He totally gave up on the curve, thought it was a ball, then it dropped in for a strike! HAHA!!
How bad?
It was the Cloth World over on Busch Blvd. I still have nightmares about that place.
BTW, what are you drinking?
Nothing, but I wish I had some Shiner.
You're in MD, correct? Can you get Shiner there? If not, maybe Melvin can score you some.
But the tamales were of the crappy DC variety.
I can honestly say that I don't ever want to find out what that means.
Virginia. I've seen Shiner here, but it's not easy to find. I know when I first moved here and worked on Capitol Hill we threw some kind of reception or fundraiser and served tamales and Shiner. But the tamales were of the crappy DC variety.
You should hook up with Fredia for some Zwolle tamales.
Does Fredia live up here?
I think that she lives in Zwolle, LA.
Amen brother!
Come on Luke.
She moved to Austin.
Wingnut does it again!!http://www.kupl.com/events1.php
I'm stuck in Dahlgren, VA right now, but fortunately have access to a military exchange that carries Shiner. Listening to the Stros on XM while finishing off that last Shiner tonight almost made me feel close to home.
WTF is Wingnut? I understand AE, but don't understand the reference.
Baggy
You want me to cry?
How bad do you want it?
Not that bad probably. But that list means someone around here must sell it retail.
Bruce is becoming intimate with Rex Jones tonight. Another foul off his shoulder.
What were the announcers saying about Bin Laden?
He promises to let Greg know first when they catch Bin Laden.
Roy's gotten through six throwing 76 pitches and in control 6-1. So much for the pitch count crybabies on the TZ who whined about Roy starting on only three days rest, which is what they all did all the time less than 20 years ago.
I don't believe in god, but I go to bed every night praying that they'll go back to a 4-man. This has nothing to do with Wandy. I've said it for years.
Wonder if Lidge will pitch tonight.Woah.......Aaron friggin Boone?
smoked high cheese, sit down.
Good job Roy, he's done. 100 pitches, 70 strikes.
Don't get one up to Miggy...It might get interesting
Know how I know you're gay?.....cause you're named "Taylor Tankersley"
Lee has found his stroke. Lance needs to find his.
OK.
So does Scott.
Dude, he is an Alabama alum. Gotta hope he does well. Just not tonight.
We play a one gamer with Philly on Sunday?
I know and like Alabama baseball coach Jim Wells, with whom I worked at LSU. Usually, though, we don't pull for Alabama, especially now with Nick the Whore on staff.
OH, speaking of which, I FINALLY found a place here in Houston that does authentic Norteno style food. Place is called Taqueria Mexico on Bellaire Blvd.
Maybe Lee needs to stroke Lance and Luke.
I was hoping he'd end up bagging my things, but a kid with a plain gray hat did instead.
So, the pattern is, the Astros score and then the fish score the same amount in the top of the next inning.I say, fool them by scoring again in the 9th.
Somethings we really don't need to know.
You coached with Coach Wells?Nick the Whore is our Saviour
It's amazing that the Astros have been scoring so many runs with effectively one guy doing all the consistent hitting. I can't wait to see what happens when the offense balances out a little.
I was a Grad Asst. Jim Wells is a helluva guy. He didn't ever need to work from a financial standpoint.Nick will be there until a better offer comess along.
Lidge alert.
Lidge has something to prove. He will dominate tonight.
EastTexAstro---wanted to congratulate you on your superb call last night:
I thought about editing that, but decided that there really wouldn't be the need among the elite in the GZ.But I'd forgotten that you are around here today.
Thats cool. Do you still coach college ball?You are probably correct on Saban. But something had to be done. And he might just be the one to back off the money folks so some football can be coached.
Ausmus has can-o-corn power.
Well, Amy and Alkie have disappeared, so I figured someone had to pick up the gratuitous swearing and thinly-veiled homosexual references, respectively.
Oh, I'm still here. Amy's out finding some Shiner.
It was the tequila...
I thought maybe you two found each other.
Geez---are they gonna boo every Lidge pitch?
I had definitely ruminated on the implications of Alkie and Amy disappearing at the same time and found it too disconcerting to bear.
I'm rooting for every Lidge pitch. The more he is able to pitch (effectively) the better the Astros will be, in the long run.
I thought you mentioned vodka... I'm not sure I would mix tequila and vodka.
Yeah, I'm not sure how much my wife would care for Amy.
Me too.
First my parents called, which they know they're not supposed to do during the Astros game. Then my browser locked up and I had a heck of a time getting it shut down and restarted.
Sorry, I'm waiting for Ausmus to get divorced.
Oh, you never know. Three's company.
My wife would probably like Amy. She swears a lot too. Though I don't think I've ever heard my wife say "Ahhh Shitfuck!"
BudGirl and I have dibs. Sorry. Get in line.
Will you marry me?
Taken. With four kids. I'll let you know if it doesn't work out.
I think Brad could probably handle at least two of us.
Sorry to be a wet blanket here, but this kid Owens sort of reminds me of a RH Billy Wagner.
Go Bidge!! #2944 and 642
Hell, you don't have time for Brad. I'll take your place in line.
He has a weird motion
You know, Alkie looks like a shorter, ugier, more nearsighted, less athletic, whiter, nerdier, drunker, less sophisticated, poorer, but nice Ausmus.If he were to ever mess up and get the boot form his current wife...
My three kids can corrupt your three kids....
Another DOUBLE!!!! I really hope he gets in the top 5 all time this year.
R U f3m in RL? W4nt 2 cyb0r?
Keep your kids away from my kids.
I have absolutely no idea how to translate Vulcan.
For the love of god Twinkie, start hitting!!
At what point do we ask if Lance is hurt?
But I do know where he lives during the season. Ain't that far from us.
I think that might be a language that people over 16 don't understand.
I have learned something. The only people who think threesomes would be cool...are people who haven't yet been in one.
I have learned something. The only people who think threesomes would be cool...are people who haven't yet been in one.This isn't aimed at you, JaneDoe. You need not respond.
Maybe you to have one with women. Those rock.
JD just nailed it....Lance needs to get fat in Cinnnncinnnnatttii. A steady diet of shit soup is the cure for what ails him.
Maybe you to have more words in sentence.
He wants you to stroke his hard drive while he plays with your floppy disks.
Ease up. He's still rewinding the dunk while translating Vulcan.
The dunk was like a 1080 degreer on best sports show commercial.
Let me take a moment to thank the Astros for making the game tonight less than a nailbiter so that this rather disturbing discussion could go on tonight, including my less than appropriate rant on my eldest.I would also like ot thank the OWA admins for allowing this place that we can be disturbing.Thank you, also, to the many who read a my rants and did not come down on me too hard. It was quite theraputic....or however you spell that damn word...
I dont' know who put the liquor in the well, but I think I know who found it.
We need the old scoreboard graphic and sound effects. Does anyone have the video? I don't mind hosting it.
Who's the guy with Lucas on the postgame (FSN Houston)?
Glenn Wilson. He's repeating everything Greg says. It's annoying.
Thanks. And I agree.
