And we're off on another leg of the Roy Oswalt Farewell Tour. Unfortunately the first stop is in Arlington.

Great job, Craig. Why can't the Astros come up with classy giveaways like that chip and dip frisbee? Damn.

Craig! Great job! That's the hatred I've come to know and love (and expect) from you. Damn! I used to use a frisbee to clean and carry pot! And my son is in one of the commercials that you mute, but I don't blame you. I'd mute it too if he wasn't in it.

Seriously? Which commercial? I could probably make an exception if I knew there was a connection to someone here.

Wanna hear something hilarious?

A few of my Ranger fan friends actually DO consider this a legit rivalry.

And they fucking HATE it when I point out they're either going to fade like a cheap t-shirt in the wash during the summer or tank to the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs.

You only have the entirety of baseball history on your side.

He's the little kid in the Astros jersey who says "when I got my first Astros baseball" in the goofy redneck teeevee Astros commercial.

The only issue I have is you picked the one possible scenario where I will cheer for the Rangers.  Other than that, agree on the merit of your argument.

Oh, see that's cool. The kids are good in that commercial. I also like the little girl at the beginning who says she's been an Astros fan "Forever!" It's the old-timer and the endless repetition that get to me.
