Time for more heroics by The Most Frustrating Player Alive. 3-run shibby by TFOTF!

So which was worse there: the left fielder's effort on Lee's liner, or Lee's "rounding" of 1st base?

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #5 on:** August 17, 2010, 07:40:24 pm »

Bourn 1B on first pitch to 2B; Sanchez 1B; Pence 3 run HR on a BLAST to LF over the Crawford Boxes; Lee 2B on a blast off the LF wall; CJ P6; Wallace Ks; Blum (1-20 against lefties coming in) 5-3. 3-1 Astros Top 2. Santana threw around 30 pitches too.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #6 on:** August 17, 2010, 07:47:01 pm »

That's twice in two games the pitcher has played that fake bunt shit.

Mets PBP guys are talking about whether or not Biggio deserves to be in the HoF and I'm about to come off my couch thinking Gary is about to make a case for Bigg being the first 3000 hit man to not make it when...........he pretty clearly goes through a list of 2B worse than him, ticking each one of and saying "if <this guy> is in? Biggio is in. if <this guy> is in? Biggio is in." Keith agreed with him.

Also, I find it interesting after just reading Limey's Series Preview that every one of you people in Houston knows more Mets fans than I do.

Still a nice round 'o boos for Beltran.

Milo just called Bobby Thomson's home run a 'Chinese Checker' home run.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:06:47 pm »

Sanchez 1B; Pence F9; Lee Ks; CJ (missed a very hittable heater) F7. 3-2 Astros Top 4.

I think that makes Burke's homer an Onyx Chess Set home run.

Ugh. DoRay are describing the arterioral dye test Figueroa had earlier for the migraines - dye injection into the thigh to see the circulation in the brain. I'm going to give up my dinner now.

Francoeur Ks; Thole L5; Tejada F8. 3-2 Astros Bottom 4. 8 in a row retired by Figueroa.

They ought to do that with Pence just to see if blood actually makes it to his brain.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #28 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:15:04 pm »

Ok, it WAS on the fly, but I was thinking onyx chess set because those are the cheap sets you get across the border in Mexico, connoting not only the Texas connection but the lesser value of his home run in comparison to Thomson's. Feel free to bring your own to the table.

Chinese checkers = great, big, multicolored star? I don't understand Chinese checkers used adjectivally.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #30 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:19:06 pm »

Wallace Ks; Blum 2B in LF corner; Castro L9 on a scalded ball; Figueroa 1-3. 3-2 Astros Top 5.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #31 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:20:46 pm »

I think Milo meant 'Chinese' as in cheap, but either got it wrong due to age or because he thought better of where the description was going.

Oh my goodness. This entire thread, I had assumed Milo was referring to "chinese checkers" the sexual position, which made perfect sense, but he was in fact talking about the child's game, which makes no sense.

Fucking Milo.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #35 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:30:39 pm »

Still hard to believe that West and the Angel of death are in the same crew-the dick all-star team. Santana 1-3; Reyes BB steals 2B; Martinez Ks; Wright F7 at the wall. 3-2 Astros Bottom 5.

JD was talking about that earlier and said that the doctor told Figueroa that when he woke up he'd either be fine or he'd be coming out of brain surgery.

Lee 2-3 on 1 pitch nice work 18 million dollar man; CJ Ks; Wallace 6-3. Nothing out of the infield. 8 in a row for Santana. 3-2 Astros Top 7.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #46 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:55:50 pm »

Fulchino still out there. Has anyone heard an e-mail from a fan discussed by JD or Brownie? Pagan PH for Tejada K (there's that high strike call for us); Santana F7; Reyes 1B to CF; Martinez F9 to the wall. Dominus vobiscum. 3-2 Astros Bottom 7.

Reyes didn't really have a chance to test him. But he looks slow to the plate out of the stretch.

Lopez on to try for his first big league save. Thole infield hit off of Lopez, who should have had it; Pagan P6; Carter PH for Santana 1-3 on a bang bang play at 1B; Reyes F7. 4-3 Astros win! Melancon gets a vulture win. Lopez the save.

Didn't hear this conversation, but it sounds like what was done after my stroke. Ran a tube up an artery in my thigh to near my shoulder, and then shot dye into my brain. It was hot and thick and hurt like hell. And they kept telling me not to blink or move or breathe or it could kill me. One of the scariest things I ever had to go through.

Yep, no lingering problems at all, except that if I try to lecture and write on the board at the same time, I will occasionally write the word I was trying to say, and say the word I was trying to write. (but that is normal for some people anyway)

The only cause for my stroke was birth control pills. I have no other risk factors or health problems associated with stroke.
