I wish there were some way to get Lamb in there too.

I expect us to score 16 runs tonight. Would have been 21 with Lamb.

Dish Network. The Rangers are always on the main Fox Southwest channel, but they usually run the Houston feed on an alternate channel. For some reason I'm blacked out of the alternate channels when they show the Astros. The only time I'm getting games is when the Rangers aren't on the main channel.

It doesn't make any sense that I can get the regular Fox Southwest broadcast, but get blacked out on its alternate. The Little Rock UPN affiliate used to pick up a lot of games, but they got eaten by ClearChannel.

I'm sure if I gave a rats ass about the Oilers, I would feel exactly the same. I didn't grow up here though and really didn't care about the NFL growing up, but I can appreciate why everyone hates him/them.

David Carr is in attendance, sitting next to Geo Bush this evening. Creepy.

The offense is fixed. The gauntlet has been thrown. Or is it dropped? Do you drop the guantlet or throw the gauntlet? Do you run the gauntlet? This doesn't make any sense. Anyway, HEY, HOW DID I JUST GET PICKED OFF FIRST??

Now you see how it works.

You throw down the gauntlet. Of course that assumes that you have located and picked up the gauntlet in the first place. I think the Astros have misplaced their gauntlet. Perhaps Slim Shady brought one with him from Round Rock.

FSN alternate 444 is the Brewers feed. Since you're not in the Brewers "local" market that feed is blacked out for you.

Because you're in the Astros "local" market you get the local KNWS feed if it's picked up by a local station. If not, then you are SOL, not technically blacked out.

Bases loaded, two outs, Berkman lashes one down the RF line. Two runs score easily. For reasons known only to god and Lance, when the ball thrown back into the IF Lance is standing idly somewhere between first and second. Lance gets in a rundown, and Loretta manages to score as the Brewers are preoccupied chasing down Lance. The Brewers didn't even try to make a play on Loretta.

Or, as Milo would explain it, Whooooaaahhhooooaaaahhhoooooaahhhhooooo!
