San Antonio falling apart in the first. Down 4-0 to Chula Vista.

JaneDoe · « **Reply #3 on:** August 29, 2009, 06:34:30 pm »

Texas is having a difficult first inning. Gave up back to back homers and made an error at 2B for what could have been an easy DP.

Losing 4-0 with no outs in the first inning.

Bench · « **Reply #4 on:** August 29, 2009, 06:37:26 pm »

And the poor second baseman just dropped a pop up. Poor kid.

SaltyParker · « **Reply #5 on:** August 29, 2009, 06:38:38 pm »

3 errors in the first inning. 5-0

9-0 now. 1 out.

It's bad enough to be losing, but DoRay have to spend several minutes gorvelling over the majesty of that home run, how they might not be able to measure it, how only 2 or 3 guys in the NL could hit one that far, etc. Sickening.

Upton just turned 21 this past week. That was like his 37 or 38 career homer. I think he's gonna be pretty good.

Paulino scratched from his start tomorrow because Coop brings him in tonight. What a clusterscromp.

On a lighter note Miggy goes out to short left to catch a pop up and even after he caught it he held out his hand to call Carlos off.

Jose Cruz III · « **Reply #44 on:** August 29, 2009, 09:01:04 pm »

The reason he has made so many throws on Pence, Brownie, is because Pence is the only guy that is getting on base.

Man, this team has gone from playoff contender to bad to piss poor to actually-unwatchable.

A Chargers/Falcons pre-season game shouldn't be the sporting event we have on the big screen in August.

So what's everyone drinking tonight?

Jose Cruz III · « **Reply #46 on:** August 29, 2009, 09:03:42 pm »

Brownie just suggested Garland is holding Pence on because this is his contract year and he might get a better contract if he shuts out the Astros tonight. Shaking my head on that one.

Kaz singles. 1st and 2nd 2 out Coste up.

Jose Cruz III · « **Reply #47 on:** August 29, 2009, 09:07:06 pm »

OMG. Reynolds caught the grounder, rolled in the dirt, threw side armed while laying on the ground, and still got Coste by 10 steps.

Coste must be as slow as Eusebio.

Today was the first time this year that I've found myself happy that football was returning. I'm usually late to that party anyway, but I'm usually still not there until mid-way into the first half of the first real game. And now I find myself googling what Billy Volek has been up to for the last few years and reading insane conservative critiques of Ted Kennedy published the very day of his funeral. America has been better off without Bork, get over it people. With the current Supreme Court you'll be getting what you wanted anyway.
