On Field For BP

[CrawfordBoxes]

Despite me being an idiot to half the people here I was just curious if anyone has ever been on the field for Batting Practice. We got 4 passes for on the field BP on Wednesday. My dad was AstroJack during the 1981-82 season and Mike Acosta, ticket sales guy was in need of some old mascot pictures so my Dad compiled some for him and emailed them over to him and he gave us that as a gift. I'm just curious what anyones experience is with this? I know he told me you can't ask for autographs, but I'm more intrested just to meet some of the guys and shake their hands and what not.

[Andyzipp]

Don't ask for autographs, and don't bother anyone in, near, around or headed to the cage.    Stick to the back stop or railings, and don't get your feelings hurt if the players blow you off.

Got to talk to Dierker, Glenn Barker, Bill Spiers, Biggio, got completely blown off by Caminiti, who later apologized.

And please don't start telling them some of your "ideas" about the game.

Forgot...don't cross the lines onto the playing field.

No, do.  Tell Brad Ausmus all your great ideas.

[Duke]

No, do.  Tell Brad Ausmus all your great ideas.

Ask Lee about his approach to hitting.

[CrawfordBoxes]

I'll be sure to boo Lance if he doesn't put 12 balls into the stands.

No you won't because there would be possible reprocussions. There are no reprocussions for your actions when you're in the stands.  You bought your ticket, and you can do whatever you want, regardless of the appropriateness.

you are an immature little child. please take your ideas elsewhere.

[Navin R Johnson]

you are an immature little child. please take your ideas elsewhere.

Actually I was thinking that Crawford would fit in perfect with the folks on the Justice Blog on the chron's website.   He could join the back slapping for getting Purpura fired thanks to their Boo-ing.

Fuck you and your ancient view points.

[Arky Vaughan]

Apparently. Or just unable to type.

This is uncalled for. You can disagree with Jim. I have before. But you crossed the line of decency.

[JimR]

yes, i think so. we'll see if anyone else does. he has not had the guts to clarify it yet.

[Astroholic]

I can't say what I think because..oh you know we haven’t negotiated a contract yet.

[Ty in Tampa]

He's a shitstain little fuck, as far as I'm concerned. Banned sounds good to me.

He is banned from my screen and I am sure that bothers the hell out of him.

[S.P. Rodriguez]

Yep, that earned him a membership to the small group of posters on my ignore list.

little boy, clarify what you meant. i am waiting for you to tell me.

[Outlawscotty]

little boy, clarify what you meant. i am waiting for you to tell me.

If my boy ever responded to anyone in this manner, he would be picing his ass up off the floor.  It would be either me or you doing it, but it would happen.  The world has gone to Hell in an Astros season, or Astros season in Hell, or something.  This punk needs his ass kicked, or to promptly STFU.

Respect for elders is a good thing.  Especially since I'm an elder.  Respect me motherfucker!
