Fracas on the field between Pujols and Backe during BP?Wonder what that was all about.
For those who care, DirecTV has the my20 feed on 667.
Is that for those that don't get the Houston locals? Because I'm in Houston and my20 is one of my local channels on DirecTV.
I was shocked to find it there. I usually never get these games.
All of them have been on one of these alternate channels so far. Maybe its a new thing since they left the channel 51 foil covered antenna.
Mustache Dude is getting on TV every night. His mustache looks like an upside-down longhorn.
i have it on 673.
Who wants a mustache ride?!
I'm at work, so I'm stuck with Milo and Do-ray. Can anyone tell me if Sampson's up in the zone, or were they just hitting good pitches in the first?
He pitch was up to Duncan, the other hits were just well placed, not hit all that hard.
Dammit, Thunder pants is struggling.
that was impressive. why do we make the other pitcher look like cy young?
Me personally, I could never hit the curve ball.
Am just catching back up to the game and was wondering why Sampson was pulled (and when)?
He had the flu yesterday and he couldnt keep the ball down. Or dinner.
On watching Moehler throw, looks like Sampson was contagious after all...
I take it we can't get two hits in an inning to save our lives?
pravata can't lay off the duece.
Anyone have any details on the "fracas" between Backe and Poo-Holes in the pre-game?
Motherf'ing Blum!

Care to elaborate? Can't get radio here.
Both sides, the Astros side, and the Candyass side http://www.spikesnstars.com/
What the deuce was that all about?
Any idea what the delay is with the umpires?
Here comes CoRussa.
There was a white sign on the scrolling panel behind the plate.
Yes!!
props to the residents of dumbass cove for thier constraint.
Dumbass Cove is technically down the 3b line. No name yet for the right field cut out.
Genius Bar.
The Shoals of Stupidity.
Pinhead Point.
sharp move by Tejada on the 3-6-3
I'm getting pretty tired of that man.
Backe should have dotted his eye.
Was it as pretty as it sounded?
Very nice play by Tejada.
Was in the car on the way home from work and Milo was pissed that Perez was stopped at 3b on the Bourn triple. Opinions?
He would have been dead meat. Perez, not Milo.
Whoooohooooowhoooooarhhhhwhooowhoooohoooo!What about that sounds pretty? I'm assuming you're listening to Milo.
Milo already is.
Any chance anyone could mention the score or inning, or has everyone gone Milo?
Wait, how can the runner stop at third on a triple?
Sorry. Really tired. I thought double and typed triple.
Game Over, Astros lose 6-4. Pooholes with 2 bombs.
I was just piling on. Actually, Bourn could have legged out a triple on that if there wasn't a runner. He took a wide turn at second.
Shumaker corraled the caroom quick.
If anyone has a tape of the game I'd love to learn how Perez was running during Bourne's double. The RF got to the ball quickly but fell, and when I looked up expecting to see Windmill Romero generating some power over there I was shocked to see him hold Perez up. I ask how he was running because I noticed in ST that although Perez has an above average glove he is not a hustler. On a routine ground ball he'll make Carlos look like Jesse Owens. I'm wondering if he started out loafing expecting to make home easily.Tejada's play might not have been graceful, but it was a beauty nevertheless. He Miggrated back behind 3B territory where you seldom see a SS roam. He somehow captured the ball back there and lept up firing. Glaus must have been doing the Tomas Perez shuffle down the line because Tejada's throw beat him by a step. Tejada chewed up some turf back where he fell and I spent a fair amount of time marveling at the distance between that spot and where he typically sets up for a RHB.Finally, McTaggert reports that LaRussa "issued a warning to Towles prior to the incident between Pujols and Backe." What the fuck is that? Why should LaRussa be talking to an Astro at all much less "issuing a warning?"
He's been a good manager, even though one of his teams was eaten up with illegal substances.
