Living in Austin, this being a spring game, the Spurs still playing basketball or the Dallas Stars still playing punch each other in the face with a stick, means we in the great burgh in the hills *WON'T* get to see it.

Enjoy it, you bunch of.... oh nevermind! *sigh*

No.  The Astros claim New Hampshire as part of its catchment area and so it's blacked out per MLB rools.

...which would make EXACTLY as much sense as having El Paso in the territory.  I was closer to something like 29 other teams, and yet the Astros were blacked out.

I believe El Paso is further from Houston than NH.

That's what I'm saying.

It was 778 miles from my house to MMP.  You tell me, with a straight face, that I'm going to DRIVE in for a game because, gee whiz, it don't seem to be on the tayvay this evening.

FACT: my cousin, who grew up in El Paso, is a Snakes fan.  Why?  Because we got 150+ Dbacks games and about 35 Astros games.

Lidge looked good, except when he was throwing rib high sliders that got raked like they were beach balls.

Pence just made a real nice catch in CF, got to a ball in deep left center field.  Crashed into the wall for effect to0 and held onto the ball    I am pretty sure Palillo just Peter North'd his miniature microphone.

and like the ole axiom says... Anytime a guy makes a great play in the field, the next inning he works a walk that opens the floodgates.    Pence put this team on his back and has willed them to a 5 run inning thus far.   Still no outs and with Hunter leading the charge we might score 19 or 20 runs this inning.

and now Pence DOUBLES down the line and drives in two more.   This kid is a cross between Mickey Mantle and Jack Bauer.

Pence scores on a bloop double, it is now 11-3.   Pence is now on the bench working on the cure for cancer.

Brilliant comment from that site:

 
Quote:

Carlos Lee in Left, Hunter Pence in Center, Luke Scott in Right by the All-Star break. The Astros should trade Burke, Lane, Hidalgo and Everett for Bill Hall to play short stop for them. That would make The Astros a Championship Calibur Team, even if we have a weak 3-4-5 spot in the rotation.

Seems like every person I've met  from El Paso who's older than 40 (disclaimer: extremely small sample size) has been at least a casual Dodgers fan. You ever see much of that?

Having grown up in El Paso (I'm 39), there is some truth to what you say.  When I was eight or so, my family got cable t.v..  At that time, cable t.v. meant the three major networks and a handful of independent channels from L.A..  Those channels of course had coverage of the Angels and Dodgers.  Also because of the hispanic culture, just about everybody had a cousin, uncle, or grandparent that lived in L.A..  Purely anectdotal (sp?) but it sure seemed that way.  So it was perfectly natural for there to be a Dodger fanbase in El Paso.  All of this was pre-snakes era.  When the snakes took over ownership of the Diablos from the Brewers,  the transition to being snakes fans was natural.

Can I say something about our man Hunter Pence? I gather that most of you have not seen him play in person. I myself had not seen him in person until yesterday. So you should also be surprised to discover that Hunter Pence throws like a girl. It gets there, mind you, and fast, but he indeed throws like a girl. He can rake, though, and is skinny as.

He looks like he's about 17 and looks like he's having the time of his life, which I'm sure he is.

Yesterday at the Braves' place in Disney I found myself in front of a couple of fuckwit Jakes fans. Yes, yes, redundant, etc, but these guys were at an Astros - Braves game both wearing full Jakes regalia. Picture that drunk fucker boo-hooing all over youtube after the Astros hung the For Rent sign outisde of Busch a couple of years ago - just a fair bit more sober - and you're surprisingly close. Both of these guys behind me had this Rob Fleming obsession with listmaking, so I had to endure innumertous "Top five pitchers who aren't Cards?!" sorts of enterprises. One of the guys loves Biggio (calls him big as in 'large' ee-o), hates Berkman, is confused about where Big-eeo plays because he was sure he played CF but by golly he's not out there now, is he? Etc.

I eventually had to get up and leave. But before I did I was privileged to learn their predictions for the NL Central this year. The Astros will finish fifth and in last place. That's right - fifth place, last. Behind the Jakes (naturally), the Cubs, the Brewers and the Pirates.

There's a fucking technicolor snapshot of the Best Fans in Baseball if ever I saw one.

If anyone else is at any of these games this week or next let me know.
