The pregame is in HD goodness on channel 95 on DirecTV. Hopefully the game too.
Just texted gleach down in the Diamond Club. Told him to tell Barry to go fuck himself, from me.ETA: gleach says to watch for him being escorted from behind the plate.
My god I love high-def.
Did he bring his giant plastic novelty syringe?
HD!!!! I HAVE ASTROS IN HD!!!! ON MY TV! IN THE HOUSTON ASTROS TELEVISION TERRITORY WITHOUT THE EXTRA INNINGS HD PACKAGE DESPITE THE FACT I ALREADY GAVE THOSE FUCKS $149 FOR EXTRA INNINGS AND $10 A MONTH FOR HD!It's like watching the game with the lights on for the first time.
why the fuck did you buy EI?
Bonds sucked so bad on that play even Milo noticed.
PENCE!!!
My God! It's full of stars.
You hang it, he will bang it.
Y'all aren't watching Idol?
Sigh. I wish I had HD.
Milo is completely fawning over a couple player wives in the booth promoting a softball game against the ranger wives.Much nervous laughter from the ladies.
Yes. Yes you do.
Which ones? If it is Mrs. Everett, I don't blame him.
She's one. Do I need to google some photos?You can watch her play softball Sunday if you get there early.
She is stunningly beautiful. Mrs. Lidge is not as hot, but very engaging and cute.
Does anyone have a link to a pic?
Very nice. I think I'll go open a bottle.Of Dos Equis. Close enough.
It's all good** Miller products excepted.
here's the only one I could find. I'm guessing it just isn't that flattering of a picture.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/society/3947864.htmlit's amazing how much AE's infant daughter looks like him
Mrs Ensberg is the other.
Fuck off. Miller Light 16 oz 12 packs are on special for the same price as a regular 12 pack. Can't beat it.
That's all I got too.
Mrs Everett makes her look like a ancient Kazakh whore.
I'll give you 16 oz 12 packs of my dog's piss for free if you like.
Mrs. Ensberg?
JACKPOT!
With a stick you can. I've seen me do it.
Wally Bell's strike zone is in widescreen tonight. But Q is right because he's giving Morris his curve on the inside but not Woody despite them looking remarkably similar. Strike 1 and strike 3 to Woody were about 3 feet apart.I fucking hate Wally Bell.
Mrs. Ensberg probably just stares at any balls you throw at her.
You lied to me.Neither of them are that hot.
Only fair. Mrs. Everett has some of the best hands in the nation.
Thanks Ron. You can fuck off too.
Mrs. Everett looked pretty good to me.
Don't listen to Alkie, he doesn't like Giada either.But, don't listen to me either... I drink Miller Light.
Damn Alkie, what do you want?Jennifer Everett is a babe.
Is it just me or is Bill Brown scoreboard watching on May 15th somewhat humorous? Talk about planning ahead.
Gordon's Dry Gin and Noilly Prat vermouth, I'm doing an experiment
Yes, that was more than a little forced.
Is that the "best value" from the recent New York Times article?
Google image search for jennifer everett is distracting me from this game.
Yes. I also have a bottle of Plymouth. Coming so close on our gin discussion I thought it was a sign.
If you want a real experiment, try about 2/3rds of a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew, top off the bottle with vodka (brand is at your discretion, you can't taste it anyway) and mix in a package of powdered Kool-Aid (I used grape back in the day). It's mindblowing.
I'll take your word for it, and stick to my single malts and the occasional gin and tonic.
Ok, pravata, pass whatever it is you're mixing. I'll have some.

It's mindblowing. I discovered it freshman year in college from the senior starting ahead of me on the football team. We staggered through Greek Week walking up and down fraternity row drinking that stuff. It will definitely do the job if you're looking to lose all memory of a day. Or two.
FUCK WALLY BELL.
For a cheap vodka, I suggest Viaka. Very nice.
Gin discussion?
popov
I know my cheap vodka. Try viaka.
My favorite vodka is Cristall, but it's hard to find and not cheap. I have a little bit left in the freezer. Maybe I should break it out.
Q wants to do something here...if only to mess with the ump.
Fuck took me long enough to find the Giada picture. Exuberancehttp://web.mit.edu/trjordan/Public/Silly%20Pictures/Exuberance.jpg
Hey there, you're closing in on 3000 Mr. Pops Of the Year.
HAHA Milwaukee's bully melted down again.Walkoff HR to win it for the Phils after the Philly bullpen surrendered HRs to Fielder and Estrada.
I'dlike to say....screw Mo. He's got nothing.
See? Not hot. Scary.If you saw her in a fucking bar, and didn't know who she was, you'd go "whoa, dude, what's wrong with THAT chick?"
Lets go Lamb.
Ever try Boodles? Cheap, and in a cool square bottle to boot.
Good grief that was a terrible call.
Is it just me or is Deshaies calling out Wally Bell by name a lot tonight?
Exactly what is the definition of a strike?
Patty Biggio looks like a normal, very pretty woman.Debbie Clemens looks like a dancer. Who might have been a man.
Roy's wife is a lot cuter than Everett's.Also, she's cute enough and all, but...that's the best Ausmus could do?
As I tell my 19-month-old every 10 minutes, "that's not nice".
Goes to show Bradley isn't superficial. Gives the rest of us hope.
Also, she's cute enough and all, but...that's the best Ausmus could do?
The other option is tha he is gay and she has pictures. I do not wish to think that.
The other option is tha he is gay and she has pictures.
I bet the best part about Clemens leaving, for the wives, is that now they dont get hit up to by debbie clemens craft fair quality, bedazzled crap.
Jesus Christ, YOU'RE holding out for Brad Ausmus too? What's with this fucking site?
She is the late night infomercial of the player's wives.
A couple of Astros have wives who are, well, let's face it - they're not exactly knock-outs, are they?I guess these are guys that are more interested in OBP than SLG.
She's already all NY, all the time: http://207.97.200.184/index.asp With Swarovski Crystal Flair!
I'll be honest, I never understood why women liked Brad Ausmus more than, say, any other MLB player.Like, I see why women like Brad Pitt, for example. Brad Ausmus doesn't strike me as being all that.....whatever it is women find so hot. I mean, more than any other pro athlete.
No, they're interested in someone who won't leave them, who will take care of their children while they're away, and who probably won't file suit when they catch them cheating.
It's the dreamy, intelligent eyes with the rugged enough features so you think he's straight.And that he'd never leave you for that angelina jolie hussy.
Brad Pitt is no Ivy Leaguer (for what that's worth).
You'd think Roger'd give the bitch some spending money. Damn.
Really? Because I bet you $1,000 he not only WOULD, but probably HAS tagged that hussy on a road trip.
I've yet to meet a woman who would give a shit.
Depends on whether you're talking about marriage or a fling. I'd take Ausmus for either though.
In the Clemens house, you earn a living.
I didn't say he wouldn't do the hussy, I said he wouldn't LEAVE for the hussy. I'm not naive enough not to recognize that a fair share of professional athletes who appear to be wholesome are pigs. though i would like to believe that some of these guys are decent until proven otherwise.
What the hell is Koby doing, then?
Mo could never do what Caballo just did.
This link doesnt make Everett's wife look like an alienhttp://www.pinkribbons.org/images/astros-wives-plate-paint-final.jpg
but it does make Mrs. Ausmus look like one.
Luke took his safety swing.
I used to think the same thing til I heard the story about Baggy's girlfriend. The only thing that makes me think some of these guys aren't total jerks is that I've heard from two totally credible sources that Craig Biggio never goes out drinking on road trips, is the first to report back to the hotel, and wouldn't dream of cheating on Patty.Good for him.
Good evening Mr Pence.
A fastball in, oh Armando.
It never fails to amaze me how brazen and entitled some totally recognizable figures are with their infidelity.
Ugh. A curtain call for Pence in May?
Excuse me while I do a little Pence!!! dance!
It IS amazing.The story I heard was from my best friend from grade school. His wife (now) is a hair artist (or whatever the fuck they're called) in the Galleria area (barbers make $10/hr, hair artists make $250/hr I was told). Baggy's girlfriend is one of her clients. Comes in and pays with cash Baggy gives her. She just sits and gossips about fucking Baggy the whole time (and has no reason to lie about it, I'm told).I mean. YOU LIVE HERE, ASSHOLE. At least give your wife THAT respect.
Exactly. That is why Armando sucks.

WTF is up with Milo doing his "little kid talking about Junction Jack" voice?Urge to kill... rising.
Wally Bell! Is out! He's gone! Apparently dead drunk. Somebody said.
LALALALALLALALALALALLALALALALALADon't want to hear it.If I were female and wanting attention, I might want to say somrthing like that, too.
I liked it.
Wally Bell had to leave the game. Well he is in the Astros dug out talking to Rex. The Astros players are trying to shove him done the hallway.
I can't believe nobody has dropped a "Where's Wally?" yet. Maybe it's before y'all's time.
ya mean "Where's Waldo?"BTW--My husband just changed the channel, dammit. Did Wally stay out or come back in the game?
BTW--My husband just changed the channel, dammit.
The Giants' boards must be flooded with angry Fucking Joke Stadium! comments... in lisp, of course.
BTW--My husband just changed the channel, dammit. Did Wally stay out or come back in the game?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where's_Wally%3F
The Giants players pulled him back out on the field. He is back behind the plate.
Real Giants nerds bitch in FORTRAN...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where's_Wally%3FWe call it Where's Waldo in these here parts.
Why don't YOU want to hear it? I didn't either.But I did.My friend's wife has a quality bullshit meter. This wasn't some ho that came in, this woman had no reason to lie about it. I had a long talk with a certain member of the broadcast team one spring training about the players on the '00 team and their 'girls in every port.' It made me think even more that I had nothing in common with pro athletes.
So, no, in my very limited experience Biggio does not hang out drinking with the guys.
Yeah, it was a joke. Wally... Waldo... work with me here.Sorry, I forgot that the natives are getting restless. (Me posting in the GZ should have been my first clue.)
I don't say it is wrong, just not a perfect source to me.
Shaune Bagwell's gynaecologist
if she bragged about her sexual escapades with a famous and married man, she is definitely a ho, doesn't matter how much she pays your friend's wife with baggy's money. ho........fo sho.
Ok. I don't know why you'd lie to yourself like this, but ok.
Pascal is much gayer than FORTRAN.
The cows on the foul poles are simply embarassing.
Programming language smack is what's pretty damn gay.
Explain.
He does not like Astros baseball or baseball in general as much as me. It drives me crazy. He even gets jealous of it. And he just loves to turn the channel all the time.
It's definitely way too nascar for my taste. Found a bone in a nugget last time I had chick-fil-a anyway. If they gave me a free sandwich right now I'd probably toss it in the trash.
Bidge down on a slider in the dirt. Awesome.
Even my husband the Cubs fan wouldn't try that shit.
Did you let them know? Very rare to find a bone. They would have given you a sammich...or something. Chigk-fil-A is a pretty good company.
Brad and I think you are just jealous.
at my last workplace, the nearest place to eat lunch was a chick-fil-a... I'd eat there 3 days a week most weeks... I still love them, but something like a bone in a nugget (even if it was an out-of-the-blue, one time thing) is enough to turn me off of it for a while. and no, I didn't report it to them...
Explain what? The only computer in the house connected to the internet is in the living room. If I wanna talk to you guys I have to watch in here. He (like any other man) owns the living room remote. If I go in the bedroom and watch the Astros, he bitches that I am not spending any time with him.
Let me ask you ladies a question. You seem like nice people.Were there just no nice, straight Astros fans around for you when you chose a mate?
Does he like being the girl in the relationship?
Well, at least it was something naturally occurring in real chickens. That's actually kind of encouraging as fast food goes.
Free baseball!
OH, yeah, he did a good job of masquerading as one. Took me to about 40-50 games a season, watched them with me, etc. Then we got married.
Yeah, I know what you mean....before I got married, 40-50 times a year my wife and I would...nevermind.
What? Mow the grass?
Have you enlisted some of his friends to hold an intervention? That is grounds for man card revocation.
Of course Mr. Doe probably gets more action than the rest of us put together, so don't knock him too hard.
Waiwaiwaiwaiwaiwaiwait.You husband changes the channel while you try to watch the Astros games because he's bored by it. Start over. Explain.
That is the wife's job.
Late in the season during playoff drives, sure. Otherwise, who knows? He sure gets to watch Grey's Anatomy whenever the fuck he wants to.
ouch.
Why don't y'all get a DVR? That way he can watch 7th Heaven whenever he wants and he doesn't have to interrupt your Astros games.
that was a game the team won, gave away, had no business tying, and then won. Great game.
Holy fucking crap. We beat SF at home.I don't believe it.
0-fer with our 1-2-3 hitters. But still win. Nice.
What I like about El Kabong, is that he was a horse, riding a horse.
I guess that makes Carlos a true cleanup hitter.
Gotta love PENCE!!!"I didn't know that, but Houston's got to eat."
What was this? I missed the post game.
Equus, Act II, I believe...
a sus...PENCE..ful game?
"I didn't know that, but Houston's got to eat."
Excellent. May want to add another l--sus...PENCE..full
He may be the first actual Astro with an HoF post...
PENCE!!! Now has more homers and RBI's as Ensberg, in 1/2 the ab's.
Ensberg has homers?
Yep, all 2 of them.
3. The GS off the AA guy, the AZ series vs Medders, and the inside fastball today.
Ensberg did not hit those. PENCE!!! did.
Postgame reporting that Sampson will pitch tomorrow night instead of Albers. No explanation given yet.
the writing is really up there. he has struck in his last two AB's (tonight and sunday) and looked bad doing it. i guess am Ok with lamb's less than stellar glove than having 14's less than zero bat.
Hey prav--Could you try sending that PM again? Thanks.
Do you have me on ignore?
NO WAY.Not that I know of--how can I check?But, I would not be able to read your posts, would I?Are you putting a space between Jane and Doe?
Do you have me on ignore?Ok that worked. But every time I've tried to reply referencing Monty Python... Ive received an error code
Maybe my husband is playing with the remote again.
Iceberg's batting .215 with 1 K every 4 at-bats, zero power and is now not getting walks (0 in his last 18 at-bats). His OPS is superior only to Quintero, Everett and the pitching staff. He's hitting worse than last year - which sucked arse and was worse than the year before.He's done.
Lamb is the 3b. Live with the bad throws and wooden glove.
check youtube for the australian philosophers song. I keep getting an error code.
ok did not know it was called Bruce's Philosopher song. I thought the title was Drunken Philosopher's song. Never got the Bruce reference.
Yeah, everyone is named either Bruce or Sheila in Australia. Not sure why none of this got through.
Yeah, it takes a couple of weeks after grading finals for my brain to function again. It is still stuck on neutral, just coasting.
