As opposed to not being able to see the games at all? Sure!

Use it at the office and on the road. Not as good as EI, but definitely does the job!

Can I get a divorce for mental distress? My husband just came in and ranted on and on--Why didn't the Astros get Adam Dunn and sign him longterm, put him in RF, and put Pence in CF? Then he went on to bitch about how they passed up on the comeback player of the year--Jim Edmonds. Missed the entire bottom of the 1st inning.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #7 on:** August 11, 2008, 07:26:20 pm »

Hey everybody, I was out all day. Are the Astros gonna pick up Bonds? Or maybe, since he's a black hole, d'ya think they could trade Ausmus for Dunn? I bet Drayton had a nice pep talk for Lee before he went in for his surgery, right? I'll hang up and listen...

Not good on that play. Sharp liner to left, Wiggy comes up to throw out the runner from second, but the ball rolls up his arm. He makes the throw anyway, it gets cut, and they nail the batter at 2nd for the third out.

Crust on top, not on bottom. Sort of a biscuity top rather than a rolled pie crust. Was a little lazy I guess, but I actually prefer the taste.

There's video of Carlos and Mary Lee pre-surgery. Carlos says he might take Roy Oswalt's advice and just cut the finger off. I appreciate the update of how the surgery went, just don't need it from JJdJOdO (w/video). He's a joke.

Blum to PH for Backe.

foul, ball, single to LF, Loretta gets the stop sign, but Bourn runs through 2nd anticipating Loretta to go home, throw comes in to 3rd, Bourn retreats--he's a freakin' dead duck on the water, then Loretta takes off for home, gets tagged out. BS baserunning by Bourn. Someone screw his head on a little tighter.

Backe's final line: 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 6K

I haven't been watching him closely today; is Bourn running better?

JaneDoe · « **Reply #101 on:** August 11, 2008, 09:06:32 pm »

Hawkins in to pitch for the Astros.

Dave Roberts PH for Sanchez.

called strike, foul, ball, ball, foul, swinging K. 1 out

No, seriously (for once). Last few times I've paid attention, he was still favoring his ankle. He clearly flubbed rounding second on that hit, just curious if he looks like he's running like he used to.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #107 on:** August 11, 2008, 09:14:25 pm »

Well, when he had to have it Backe definitely threw a good game tonight. Seemed to be pounding the strike zone pretty well.

JaneDoe · « **Reply #108 on:** August 11, 2008, 09:15:56 pm »

Billy Sadler RHP (0-1, 4.56) comes in to pitch.

Matsui

ball, called strike, ball, swinging strike (why are you swinging at that junk?) fly ball to LF, caught up against the wall. 1 out.

I could really use some good dark chocolate right now. Like the 80%+ stuff.

Actively avoiding spoilers. Fucking NBC doesn't think the west coast needs to watch anything live.

ball, foul, swinging strike, foul, ball, rolls one to Bowker who tosses to Sadler. Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd.

The NBC decision is a little odd. It's not like the west coast doesn't work in live events in different timezones all the time.

Mums the word from me on results.

The worst part is the broadcast still has that little "LIVE" in the corner - even though it's 3 hours delayed. It seriously pisses me off. Plus, all the live stuff doesn't start until the 10pm est / 7 pm pst hour anyway, so it would be easy enough to do the same broadcast on both coasts. Forget access hollywood for a couple of weeks.

Erstad comes in to play LF, batting in the 9 spot. Wigginton moves to 3B. Valverde in to pitch, batting in the 5 hole. Loretta out of the game.

Just want you to make an extra buck, so you'll be more inclined to act American and buy a round for us regular folks....apologies for lame employment of stereotypical Englishman joke.

Besides, think of it, sir--a chance to redirect those annoying stick horse cowboys into coming up with cheers that might insult the Germans, in the process perhaps making them cry!
