T1: Angel with a 2B, Spaz gets as out (2nd out of inning), and Carlos sends him home with a HUGE jack. HOU 2, MIL 0

OregonStrosFan · « **Reply #2 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:24:42 pm »

Wallace follows up the El Caballo shot with an attempted check swing excuse me double by left field line. Hall scalds one down the left field line, Wallace scores. T1 (2 outs): HOU 3, MIL 0

Ron Brand · « **Reply #3 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:26:18 pm »

Zang, a 3-run first for the Good Guys.

Didn't see out #3, and since I'm only able to hald-ass watch the game, I'll leave the PBP to the professions...

Middle 1: HOU 3, MIL 0

Ron Brand · « **Reply #5 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:28:44 pm »

I can't do PBP all the way through, I've got to cook dinner for the heathens. I'll do what I can.

Counsell with a slow-hopper to Sanchez who uses that lightning gun to get him out by five steps.

Gomez flies out to Thunder Pants, just shy of the track and here comes The Peen.

Myers goes full count and then Q takes a foul straight back off the mask like a punch from Sonny Liston. Damn.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #11 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:35:28 pm »

Myers dazzles Penis Nose with an outside FB that he swings through for Strike Three and at the end of 1 it's 3-0 Astros.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:37:52 pm »

And how many times do you see the catcher who just got clocked lead off the next inning? Not enough, as Q lines a single to right.

Hey Marcum! You suck!

I tell you what, Q is hittin the ball and workin the opposite field.

JD saying that the hitters 'get hitterish' against Marcum because he doesn't have good stuff.

Bourn grounds into the impossible 4-6-3 dp, on a fairly slow grounder at that. Very quick flip from 2B to SS.

Holy shit. Fielder absolutely scorches a shot past Wallace into right, where Thunder Pants comes up with it, pitches it above his head, bats it past his back and Fielder ambles into second while Pence puts on a juggling clinic.

Hee Haw with a comebacker that Myers drops looking Fielder back but he is able to get the out at first. Kotsay up, one down, Fielder at second.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:48:24 pm »

Fuck. After Myers gets him to miss badly on a FB up he takes a slow curve to LF for a single. Runners on the corners, one out, Betancourt up.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:49:15 pm »

First pitch bomb to the wall in RCF that only Bourn could track; he does, but Fielder scores on the sac. Two down, Frenchie Lucroy up.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #23 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:50:45 pm »

Not sure if it's a fast gun or not, but Myers has been at 90-91 instead of the 88-89 he's been at earlier this year.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #30 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:58:17 pm »

FOTF atones with an upper deck shot to dead left. It's 4-1.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #32 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:00:20 pm »

Despite the penetrating stare of Hunter Pence invading his dreams, Marcum Ks Lee on a low FB. Two down, Wally up.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #33 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:01:56 pm »

Wallace uncharacteristically fooled and chasing a changeup way outside for strike three. 4-1 Astros, Meisters coming to bat.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #34 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:04:37 pm »

Counsell drills the changeup into CF for a leadoff single.

Breaking ball waaaaay outside skips by Q and Counsell moves to second.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #36 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:06:48 pm »

Gomez slaps a good breaking ball to SS but Sanchez can't get close to it. Runners on the corners with Penis Nose up.

Gomez goes to second; Q a little too in love with the throw from the knees and almost short hops it into CF but for a good play by Hall.

Fuck.

Fielder with a popup that many left fielders would have reached but it's a single, scoring Gomez. 4-3 now, Hee Haw up.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #43 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:12:15 pm »

McGeehee lines out to Bourn. Two outs.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #44 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:13:11 pm »

Astros desperately need Myers to go deep in this game.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #45 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:14:27 pm »

Kotsay lines a single to right; Fielder to third. JD said earlier that Fielder went first to third on a single one time last season in ten tries, if I heard him correctly.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #46 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:15:12 pm »

Betancourt pops out to Bourn ending the inning. It's 4-3.

No you didn't. Koscuisko doesn't have a VFW hall, Poth does. Koscuisko has a parish hall and a community hall. I watched game 1 of the 2005 world series there during a cousin's wedding reception. Great place for a wedding if 800 people are coming.

Many of my family members had their weddings there. Lots of of fun memories, at ready those that I remember.

Astros somehow managed to score three runs in the top of the 10th (last run driven in by Lyon, however improbably). Now we're moving on to the bottom of the 10th.

ftr, i also remember going to a wedding at the poth vfw hall and had a very close call with one of poth's finest afterward. i also think i went to some mega summer barbecue outside maybe the catholic church in kosciusko. does that make sense or would it have been somewhere else? man, those small texas towns.

It's not like driving to Seattle, dude, Alaska is way the fuck up there. And it's not as if there's a Bucee's every couple of hundred miles through the Yukon Territory.

My grandparents used to take a 4 month vacation every other spring and drive to Alaska. They started in Texas, went to Florida, drove up the East Coast, across Canada, stayed in Alaska for a month or so, drove down the West Coast and back to Texas in their motorhome. I always wanted to go with them, but couldn't get my parents to let me miss school.

No, I'm not paying any more than $1.19 for a pint of water. Above that it's just gouging.
