It's fine on DTV's feed, fwiw

Thanks, I know comcast sucks, but I just wanted to see if it sucked for me specifically or for the broader population. Gotta get out of this apt where I can't get a dish!

Astros 1-0.

austro · « **Reply #6 on:** August 21, 2009, 08:36:09 pm »

Pence singled (or something), stole 2nd, and was driven in by a Keppinger double. I don't even remember what inning that was, the Macallan is that good.

Now we have Bourn on 3rd after a Berkman single, 1 out, bottom of 6.

subnuclear · « **Reply #7 on:** August 21, 2009, 08:37:37 pm »

Bourn's steal on that pick-off attempt was pretty cool.

austro · « **Reply #8 on:** August 21, 2009, 08:40:52 pm »

Lee walks to load the bases with one out, and then Blum pops out to 1st. Here comes Pence!!!.

Pence with a mighty pop up to shallow CF. 1-0 end of 6

Fortunately, Roy looks good tonight. But I'd sure prefer a lead of more than one run.

Thanks, subnucular(Texas pronunciation). My non-exploding iPhone wannabe Blackberry piece of shit can't get to anything but the Gamezone at the moment, for whatever God damn reason. I'd blame Bush, to appease Chuck, Musical and Limey, but ol' W's in Crawford and sorta out of the picture now.

Who's playing? This Shiner 100 I'm swilling is an odd mixture of Sam Adams,Bock and Aunt Jamaima. "Drink up, huh?"

Roy yanked for a PH after 7.

Patty interviews the Fan o' the Game and the lady said they, "came early ... got Cooper's autograph but wish it would have been someone else. "

offense is on a roll with the bases loaded tonight..... oh wait, that's par for the course, isn't it.

Tejada can sure hit into a double play well.

He and Lee are in something of a Double Play Hero competition.

12 year old. It's my go-to Scotch. I've got some Oban waiting for me, but I'll save that for a couple weeks from now for the old-man-just-took-his-youngest-daughter-to-college retrospective.

Friends, welcome to the National League. This is without a doubt my favorite kind of game.

Nice. I splash out with 18 every once in a great while. I once had the 25 and it was outrageous. I like Oban, too.

Scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to Nanette Fabray...

I aspire to 10 year old Glenmorangie. Is that a bad thing? If so, I'll work my vat back to Cutty.

I find nothing wrong with Glenmorangie at all. It's another of my favorites. As you can probably tell, I'm more of a Highlands guy.

Years ago Cutty did some "blends" that were aged in port or sherry casks. I thought those were pretty good, although I can imagine that purists were revolted.
