Just kidding. Game's in like 4 hours.Come back then.
i used to live in garden grove-- chapman and seacrest, about 3 miles down from the crystal cathedral. i used to play basketball at faylane park with some white boyz who were always smokin' shwag weed and talkin' like black boyz.
Garner sits Lee tonight.

How the fuck long ago was it that Colon was an Indian, destroying Astro hitters with laser beams shot from his eyes?
TRIVIA TIME - Do not look this up.How many 100+ RBI seasons did Mickey Mantle have?
Between 3 and 5?
No way. You KNEW that?
Game's on time warner austin on Channel 12 in case anyone is lost.
Pence is like a spastic gazelle with one leg longer than the other.
Lee is antarctic cold.
Glacial. Or Glacier. Since Iceberg has already been taken.
Goddamn shorts used to be short, didn't they? Def Leppard looks like they're wearing panties.
Yeah, my kids freak when we show them old NBA games. You forget how bad it was til you see Larry Bird in those shorts.
Fuckin' Michigan "Fab Five" ruined it for all of us.
Much better than the What-a-chicken.
How many times are we gonna be subjected to the Gary Matthews catch this series?
Robert Reid was really bad, too.
He could have been a stewardess for Southwest...
Really missing Everett about right now.
What a bunch of space cadets. That freaky loss last night is probably going to mess them up for the rest of lunar cycle...
I looked at the trap, Ray.
Milo and Gamezone makes no sense. The Astros really are playing, right?
They may be on the field, but they don't seem to be offering much resistance.
Milo makes no sense.
Why. Does anyone. Throw Pence. A fastball.
Ladies and gentlemen. We have a new game.Crizushed.
That truly happened? It all sounded so... speculative. On the radio.It's really tied?
Manzo and Scioscia (sp?) are jawing at each other, according to the Dave/Ray and Milo.
"Lagering"? Are they shitting me?
Scioscia: Doug, you don't need to hold up Lee at 3rd on a HR. Manso: Could be close. Shut up and let me do my job.
Why do you ask?
Who is worse in the field--OP or Lee?
Worse death--Hydraulic press or firestorm?
We might as well restart that whole Hitler vs. Stalin debate while we're at it...
What's next: hopifying?
is that what made that guys eye pop out of socket in Casino when Joe Pesci was torturing him?
Stalin made the trains run on time.And made a fucking KILLER Irish Coffee.
The Terminator was in Casino? I totally don't remember that scene.
Can he pitch?
That was a vise.
Like drinking or paying for sex or staying up til 1:45am watching the Astros on a weeknight.
Yes, each of these things will make your eyeballs pop out.
2991
So was it actually a hit or was it an overwhelmed scorer?
Another baserunning gaffe.
Please describe.
Berkman hit by Colon's 0-2 pitch. Bases loaded for Lee, 1 out.
Monica took off her blouse. It was red with pinstripes and a teddy bear on the back. She had a tattoo that no girl her age should have - Vote Nixon. Craig put his hand inside her pocket...
Of course Biggio hit that. Who wouldn't?
I'm calling a 6-4-3 for Lee.
I think Milo just told me that didn't happen. But I'm not sure.
did anyone listening to the radio hear what brett/dave said about munson?
Do you have no TV coverage tonight? need PBP rather than just a bunch of us doing color?
Sac fly (shallow) by Lee scores Biggio from 3rd. tied 5-5.Loretty pops up.linescore:5 7 15 7 1
(I can't help but think of Nick Tortelli from Cheers whenever I hear his name.)
Thanks. Now, neither will I.
That being........?
is this game being played in the Rocky Mtns?
sorry...heard something about him getting into it at the plate with another player - he said they didn't see anything last night, but heard about it through the media today. i wasn't able to hear who they were talking about.
It's weird. The Angels seem to be frustrating as hell to play against... but you have to figure they'd be frustrating as hell to be a fan of when things aren't going perfectly. With virtually no power in the lineup, their little dinks have to keep falling in or they'll just strand a bunch of runners.It makes me feel good to pretend that that'll happen for a significant chunk of time this year.
You don't think that the Astros pounding their vaunted pitching staff isn't bugging the shit out of them?
Oh hey, good news! We just lost another player. Scott goes down.
That was a baserunning fuck up by Burke.
What happened?
damnit my 92 year old grandmother's hips are in better shape than Scott's.
Burke! RF!Palmeiro! LF!Biggio! 2B!Lamb! 3B!Loretta! SS!Congrats, boys, you're looking at the actual worst defensive team in baseball.
Bot 5 (is that all?): Matthews c.o.c. to LF. Kendrick nearly clipped by ball 2, later he smacks one to Lamb, 2 down. Hillenbrand c.o.c to CF. 1st clean inning for Jennings. Limey putting Shiner 98 on the endangered species list. 5-5.
Limey putting Shiner 98 on the endangered species list. 5-5.
I'm glad we're winning. I fucking hate AL baseball.
PENCE!!! has very quick and strong wrists. Remarkable.
What was it? FB? Curve? 12' arc?
How the fuck is a ball to the fence not a double?
Slow runner + Guerrero's arm = OUT
I'm sorry, are Gleek and I alone here? Honest question, do you enjoy watching baseball in the double digits? Teams needing 10+ to win a game?
when did the word get out that vlad guerrero and jose guillen no longer had strong arms?
You're the one with the EI package. I only watch NL. Except for this interleague crap.
Some people just don't appreciate great pitching and defense now days.
Loretta has got to be the slowest man on the team.
That's like being the meanest guy on Death Row.Just who on this team can run?Burke is fairly quick.PENCE! can move pretty well.AE has some speed... or at least he did before he grew a couple of extra ankle joints,And...?
Nothing better than a 1-0 pitcher's duel with sparkling defense. BUT--as anemic as our offense has been, I refuse to complain about high scoring games.
Milo is extra incomprehensible tonight.
Agreed, I think for me it all stems from a very unhealthy hatred of interleague play and the DH.
Ausmus is still faster than the normal catcher.
The DH to me is just so half-assed. Why stop there? Why not just give runs for reaching third? Or half-runs for reaching 2nd? Hey, how about letting the same 3 hitters hit every inning?It's just half-assed. It's lazy.
Hoggle steals 2nd.
A Scandinavian troll doll just tried to sell me a copier on ch 51. Who wants another beer?
You can't see, but my empty beer is raised.
Who needs another beer?
Not that it matters, but isn't it Willets down at second?
Hoggle.
great movie, limey, great movie.
radio folk speculating lidge not available since he's in the dugout
The Jennifer Connolly jailbait years.
That's pretty much the one thing that hadn't gone wrong before this week... a bunch of people getting hurt. And now... ugh...
OK.. maybe I'm too much of a pessimist.We might have just traded him for A-Rod, LeBron James and Optimus Prime...
Optimus Prime made the trains run on time.And he makes a KILLER Irish Coffee.
Optimus Prime made the trains run on time.
I kinda like how they are making this pitcher who they have never seen before actually throw strikes.
Does ANYONE feel ODDLY like LAST night?
Actually, I don't.
I'm sure they'll be taken to task for it in kangaroo court.
You will.
We took this trip to Garden Grove. Smelled like Lou-dog inside the van. Oh yeah. DK was from Garden Grove. Got lost there once looking for a place to eat.
I hope that kangaroo court kicks every one with a base running blunder in the balls. Hard.
Channeling JimR from last night, i'm blaming you when the Angels blow this thing wide open.
You have no idea what you're saying.
You can't channel Jim, and I ain't playin'.
I love that album, good shit.
we could use you to throw at the most annoying angel and start a bench clearing brawl. I can't stand the angels and their david eckstein approach to hitting.
Is Rick White actually pitching well? Honest question, no TV for me tonight.
I had lost all hope for this board until you posted. Thank you.
Hoggle: the most Ecksteiney of 'em all.
Coming from a guy who loses hope every other day that's not exactly saying much.
Gunther waited back a long time on that breaker.
Is this a joke?
It was supposed to be, but come on now, you are the eternal pessimist. It's part of what makes your comments/posts so entertaining. I'd embrace it if I were you.
mercy call for 3-2
do not encourage Dr. Rant.
Thanks, you knew I'd ask. A triple shy of the cycle.
lidge is hurt? Since when?
Astros.com reporting strained oblique muscle, possibly going to the DL after tonite's game http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070619&content_id=2036528&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou
I thought I only saw mercy strikes on 3-0, it's happening on 3-1 now too?
My Clam is on fire! (it's an itchy burning sensation)
Get some Blue Star Ointment. It stops itching fast.
Gold Bond Powder.
...for that Itchy Row.
Duh. Optimus Prime was a train...
Actually, Optimus Prime was a Mack truck. Astrotrain had 3 forms, one of which was a locomotive in the old school (like the 50's, not Pedophile Jack) style.I have a feeling I should not have revealed my knowledge of the Transformers.
Michael Barrett might be able to help.
you had that one saved up for awhile didn't you?
Who do you think will be called up for Lidge?
Bot 8: Still White and he breaks Hillenbrand's bat, Clank tests Berkman but he picks it. Quinlan pops up to the Ump, 2 down (6 straight for White).
Can McLemore return this soon if it was an injury?
Yeah, cause you really don't want the rest of us geeks thinking you may just be one of us.
so zz top is finally pitching like he did in april again?
And hey, Michael Bay is making it cool to be a Transformers fan! By making a movie with lots of explosions, no recognizable plot, and a superfluous love interest. It'll be Pearl Harbor with robots (not named Ben Affleck).
Angels look suddenly ordinary.
Are there time constraints?
When he made Pearl Harbour...
lots of explosions, no recognizable plot, and a superfluous love interest.
You Brits and your wacky extra vowels.
Will PENCE!!! get a shot for his triple?
Think Drayton is rooting against a hit for Biggio right now? I know he wants him to hit 3000 at home.
Holy shit, his name really is Bootcheck. I thought you were joking Limey.
I never joke.
Yeah, once you're sent down you have to stay for 10 days or some such, unless.... injury?I'd have to look it up, and I'm lazy.
Don't keep up with individual performances at RR alot. Why was Sauerbeck released yesterday?
Good night... and good luck, Wandy.
second that.
Mostly because he has been horrible.
i'm just happy they held on and won.
Better than that. Held 'em scoreless after the 4th and gave up only 1 single in the last three.
June 19th, and Jason Jennings just earned his first victory for the Astros.
Thanks for the PBP Limey
He's been hurt for part of the year and awful on the other part. The other half is mental... I think. But he really has no velocity and awful location on his pitches. He looks done to me.
Thanks.
