Roy is one win away from matching the most wins in Astros history. However, a 2 run (and still going) second inning precludes his chance at a shutout, and thus, in his mind, a win.

Roy's doppelganger, Lastings Milledge, knocked in the second run.

This doesn't look like a record tying or extra-prospect-getting type effort.

Woohoo! Roy K's the pitcher! Trade him now before his value drops!

Dear Yankees, et al,
The Roy Inning is a myth. Like the female orgasm, you may have read about it here, but none of us have actually witnessed it. Especially Alike.

And that's not a limp. It's the extra giddy up we'll package in the deal.

Kind Regards

P.S. Sorry for your recent loss. To TB last night.

TB is a tough opponent.

This is insane. I saw a female orgasm once during my three years back in El Paso. Fucking thing feel from the ceiling onto my keyboard, scared the shit out of me. Thank god the dog ate it.

I absolutely HATE the guy who does the voiceovers on the Whataburger commercials. HATE. It's a notch above the 'folksy old guy' Blue Bell guy that puts my stomach in a knot. Ugh.

Roy must be having second thoughts about leaving Houston.

Wanna hate him even more? Wanna guess what part of Texas that voice actor is from?

If the Pirates are going to put Doumit in the lineup, it's our duty to run wild. They need to pay the price if they want his bat in there.

Ah, our specialty, the botched rundown.

I see you have a googling machine as well.

I'd have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling senior citizens.

And I get that voice actors' job is to, you know, change their voice if necessary. Was it really THAT hard to find someone to do a Central Texas accent that they had to hire someone from Illinois?

For all I know, Lastings Milledge may be a perfectly nice young man, but I sure hope he doesn't wind up as an Astro. That Met stink never goes away.

Well, I dozed off for a little bit at the biginning of this game. I am surprised by two things (well really only one).

#1 getting 1-hit by Malholm.

#2 the Pirates only have 2 runs scored

Ron Brand · « **Reply #21 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:42:20 pm »

We were watching the game and he had some pull or similar in his leg. Looked muscular/ligament/tendon related. He couldn't even toss a practice throw; they just pulled him.

No further info yet.

Oh, except that the field reporter for the Yankees is in fact a horse with a wig and lipstick.

Six weeks would be the first week of August, but he's going to have to get some hitting in so he might go to RR for a bit too.

austro · « **Reply #33 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:54:36 pm »

Man, it never fails: whenever a guy takes a deflected throw off the coconut, he leads off the next half-inning.

"I expect guys to run the bases. Their job as hitters is not done after they reach first base," Bagwell said. "Their job is done when they reach home plate. That's something I'm going to be on the guys about, going from first to third, because it's going to help the hitter behind them."

First things first, Jeff.
