Anybody else here tonight?

LonghornCDR · « **Reply #1 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:40:11 pm »

I'm here, and my interweb is so slow that I can't even get Gameday.

Bench · « **Reply #2 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:43:07 pm »

Guess not much is going on tonight. At my place, it's me Milo and a bottle of bourbon. I don't even know what the score is.

mihoba · « **Reply #3 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:44:19 pm »

I'm shocked, I found the game on DirecTV channel 659, so I'll be hangin'

Bench · « **Reply #4 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:46:22 pm »

The Golden Triangle time warner has a "secret" normally blank channel that often shows Rangers games with pure static instead of audio commentary (not a bad thing, though I do actually like Grieve). I was hoping it would be on tonight. No dice.

It's nuthin' nuthin' in the bottom of the second, one out, Pence on (walk), AE up.

The Astros don't quite have a hit yet, but it's early.

JaneDoe · « **Reply #5 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:47:35 pm »

I'm here, but so is the husband, so he is playing PS2 on the TV. I may not post alot, will go to the other room to watch the game. I posted a link to astros.com on the TZ about Backe. He had some soreness after simulated game.

LonghornCDR · « **Reply #6 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:49:12 pm »

Guess PENCE!!! isn't that fast.

austro · « **Reply #7 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:49:39 pm »

Gads. I've never done PBP, but I do have a television. So I'll see if I can help out.

First inning was relatively uneventful, although Methuselah (Lofton) reached 3rd before Albers ended the inning.
Lance got dinged by an up-and-in fastball on the hands, but he seems to be ok.

T2 ended with Rangers' pitcher striking out with men on base.

B3:
Scott grounds out.
Pence walks.
Everett up, Pence thrown out trying to steal.
Everett strikes out.

0-0 after 2.

austro · « **Reply #8 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:50:20 pm »

Sorry, that was bottom of the 2nd, not bottom of the 3rd.

austro · « **Reply #9 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:52:42 pm »

T3. Due up: Lofton, Young, Texeira.

Lofton: B, B, S (looking), B, ground ball to the statue at 2nd, infield hit. I swear that Lofton looks like Willy Mays Hays.

austro · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:53:58 pm »

Young: B, B, B, B.

Runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs.

austro · « **Reply #11 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:56:10 pm »

Ausmus visits the mound and asks (a la Wayne Graham): "Are you afraid to be out here? If so, I'll go get somebody who isn't."

Texeira: S, B, S (swinging on a slider), S (swinging on a slider).

1 out, still runners on 1st and 2nd.

austro · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:59:36 pm »

Sosa: S (looking, fastball low and out), S (foul), B (up and in), lined into the LF corner, both runner score, Sosa on 2nd.

Suck. Lamb just missed it, but it is what it is.

austro · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:01:35 pm »

Cruz: S (slider), B (FB down and out), fucking A: HR to RF, 2 more runs in.

4-0 stRangers.

Brownie and JD are speculating about how long Albers' leash is.

ybbodeus · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:03:07 pm »

Can't stand even being BEHIND in a game against this abortion of a franchise, much less losing to it.

I know; go play Bingo witgh the REST of the nation.

Albers blows tonight!

Cruz is a big, strong kid. Evern so, Milwaukee did real well in that trade.

austro · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:04:12 pm »

Vasquez: B, B, visit by Wallace ("Are you a man?"), B, S, jeez louise: HR to RF.

5-0 stRangers.

I think Matt might need some time in AAA to regroup.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:05:20 pm »

austro · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:06:05 pm »

Stewart: B, B, S, B, S, foul, F8 to moderately deep CF.

Still 5-0 stRangers, 2 outs.

Bench · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:06:05 pm »

Anyone listening to Milo? I'm convinced he just said "Griffey Gonzalez here, Dunn Gonzalez there" and I have absolutely no idea why.

In other news, maybe we'll get to see Moehler tonight!

I think Jennings will take Albers' next spot in Round Rock, but they'll work it out after that.

Kins?: B, B, B, S, S, ground ball to Lamb ranging wide to his left.

5-0 after 2 1/2. Ouch. The good news is that the stRangers pitching staff sucks.

austro · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:08:55 pm »

Yes, I think Moehler is probably on deck. I think Albers' spot is up in this inning, and I doubt that he'll bat.

My television downstairs has gone to shit. No picture. Just a blank screen. But the sound works so I still get a better play by play with Brownie and JD, than you do with Milo.

I guess tomorrow I break down and buy a fancy new flat HDTV thingy.

austro · « **Reply #28 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:14:30 pm »

Biggio: B, S, B, F7. Sorry, I miscounted the outs. Biggio is the third out.

5-0, stRangers, heading to the 4th.

austro · « **Reply #37 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:19:25 pm »

Borkowski in.

Tejeda: strikes out. Sorry, I missed the first few pitches.

Lofton: B, S (slider up), B (slider down), B (FB down), FB down the middle, Pence makes a run back to the hill and the ball bounces off his glove for a triple. Definitely could have been caught.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #38 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:19:33 pm »

Hate to be critical but if it hits the glove like that, he probably should have caught it.

Looked like a good FB outside that Carlos rolled over on. If you swing at that pitch, shoot it to right. Let Sammy kick it around for a while like Harpo Marx.

Christ I hate Sosa. I guess it's safe to say that what the normal person feels about Bonds, I feel about Sosa. Frankly, I have a great deal less contempt for Bonds than Sosa. The only "Rangers Texas Rivalry" hype bullshit that remotely riles me up is the thought of Sosa hitting #600 in Minute Maid. I would rather cut myself than watch that.

Small consolation: Sammy the Hippy-Hoppy Clown hasn't done anything tonight.

Didn't he have a 2-run double or something like that?

Wow. Whoever's doing this is obviously getting bolder and bolder. What will it take for Milo to wake up and realize it's a joke? Elvis Presley? Hell, he may not remember who's dead and who's not.

Spiderman is here everybody! Has a big web of friends here at the ball park tonight!

Will Tony Soprano show up to congratulate Craig on hit #3000?

Bruce Campbell and Associates will be at the game tomorrow night.

There have been several loose attempts to collect these gems, but nothing concrete as far as I know. When you have a cherished grandparent that you know is not going to be around forever you try to spend as much time with them as possible. Same with Milo. We owe it to history to note these as thoroughly as we can.

Is it out of the question that PENCE!!! could hit a 3-run homer with no men on base?

Yes, you're right. I had managed to put that out of my mind.

Speaking of hits... Ensberg just might end up taking a shotgun blast to the brainstem when that happens. Bruce gets pretty damned twitchy around the walking dead...

Sigh. Let's see what they can do tomorrow.

I turned to channel 77 in Austin right before the game started... And for whatever reason, they were just running the above and behind home plate camera with the audio off.

Then suddenly, JD and Brownie were mike-testing, and I heard maybe the funniest thing I've ever heard in my ENTIRE life.

JD: Wow, look at those cowboy hats.
BB: Yup, everyone is wearing them.

JD: No Drayton. He doesn't have one on.
BB: Yeah, he's wearing some DORK hat!
JD: Hmmmm... Its a Baylor hat.
BB: Yeah, not a cowboy hat.

Then they yammered one for a few minutes before someone obviously had a "!" moment and turned the sound back off.

Headline tomorrow: Bill Brown and Morgan Ensberg traded to KC Royals for Announcer to be Named Later.
