We are about to go on a sick run and make a push for the playoffs. Going into September 4-5.5 games out. Get Readddddddddddddddy!!!!

I was not aware that inanimate objects such as the Crawford Boxes could be affected by drugs.

Now we know what happened.

ROY NLCS MVP and Lance Word Series MVP... In all honesty, I think a little run is in the works. Maybe I'm wrong but I have some type of feeling... A couple years ago can't remember who but they posted a similar feeling and it was the start of an unbelievable run!!

After missing the Astros games, you can always tell if the Astros won by the tone of the callers on the post-game show. They either think the Astros are going on a huge run or Purpura needs to be fired/Drayton needs to spend money and bring in more players, respectively depending on if they won or they lost.

Then I am 20,005,805 years old. Glad to see that the offspring of Lance and Roy are still playing baseball.

I'd be satisfied with 3rd place and some good development from the younger guys. Anything more than that and I'd be happily shocked. Also, speed is bad for you.

Chip Caray and his Magic 8 Ball. DoRay's call on a Lee line drive that went into the stands. "If that ball had been fair it would have been for extra bases and two runs would have scored." Yeah and if my granny had a snout she'd be a dolphin.

Lucas, oblivious to Roy's stated intention not to pitch much longer than his current contract, asked him if he thought he could match Glavine and 300 wins. Roy paused and said, "I'd have to pitch for a long time".

As long as you have $7.00 (tip not included), it's always happy hour in the Crawford Boxes.

See- when I posted the same thing a week ago after the two game streak I even admitted I was a delusional idiot deserving of being mocked.

That said I like your spirit. Need to sweep the rest of the homestand to have any discussion.

I'd like to finish ahead of the cards for the first time since 02.

The difference is that the original poster of this thread is merely a delusional idiot. Mocking is too kind.

CrawfordBoxes · « **Reply #22 on:** August 07, 2007, 04:51:53 pm »

I look at it this way. We have to sweep this home stand...Possibly go 6-1 and respond with similar damage in our 7 game binge vs Chi/Mil in Sept. Just get hot at the right time and who knows!!!!

This place ain't a cheerleading squad. Cut this shit out or be ready to get run.

You're not upsetting anyone... You're just acting like a fresh-out-of-the-box Clark.

CrawfordBoxes · « **Reply #28 on:** August 07, 2007, 05:19:30 pm »

I'm not a clark, I've been around since '05 I believe maybe '04...Can't completely remember but I've been lurking since even before that. Just making a simple post on an impression I'm getting. I just think a run of some type is in store...maybe not a playoff birth but a strong finish down the stretch.

MusicMan · « **Reply #29 on:** August 07, 2007, 05:23:20 pm »

You've made several posts on this hunch. You've been mocked, ridiculed, and warned.

In the words of Adrian Balboa, "You can't win!"

Acting like, not are.

Posting like a 13 year old after eating 2 boxes of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs (all part of this complete breakfast!) is usually not looked highly upon.

It's just that you're young and brash and hence very unminding of the BBGs. Not that they haven't had their fill of fun with the Astros this season already.

A little run? It would be a run of Major League proportions for these Astros to make the playoffs.

I wonder if there is a lifesize pic of Drayton in the clubhouse with tear away clothes?
