I've not seen a good knuckle yet.
Pretty ballsy play by Wallace, but Q told him what to do. Glad it worked out.
That's Q's call. Good call, good execution.
I know that. I was telling people who didn't know that. Obviously not you, HH.
Sorry, just a casual comment on the play. I wasn't implying anything.
Where's PitchTrax tonight?
Oh, man, I thought Myers was going to get that call on Beltran. Where's PitchTrax tonight?
If I knew the Astros would bat for a while, I'd fire up a cigar.
Better save it for next inning.
They typically last more than an inning. It's not like drinking beer.
I was assuming you wouldn't want to light it up as a salute to a feeble effort.
True. And speaking of Joe West...as a catcher, you want to be the one to throw the ball back to your pitcher. You reach back, expecting the ump to put the ball in your hand, but West has to throw it back himself. That chaps my ass.
You must buy chapstick in bulk.
Good time for a squeeze there perhaps?
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck...8 hits, and you squeak out 1 run.
Somtimes I have to. I don't know...what do you pitchers think?
This has always been my Astros futility measure: for a long time they seemed to need 6 or 8 hits for every run, while everybody else only seemed to need 3 or 4.
Dickey looks a bit like that Titus Welliver guy.
I hate knuckelballers. I have a friend I play catch with (well, it's been a while now) who will break out a knuckleball, and it's a total nightmare. On top of that, he's left-handed, so it's total confusion.
Well, that's typically because the bottom half of your lineup sucks.
A pitching change?! HA!
I threw one in an SEC game once, late in a game when I was a mopup guy in another lopsided loss. The guy hit a screamer that the CF caught on the track. I got removed from the game for it. Smith came right out there. Said "what the fuck was that. Give me the ball." I laughed on my way back to the dugout and went and got drunk as a skunk and fucked a bartender. Good night.
Yeah, that's some serious managing. He was obviously tiring, and they were clearly figuring him out. Not.
In Texas, it doesn't get any better than fucking Geoff Blum tying it in the 9th against the Mets! In Texas.

And now the visiting manager brings in his closer in a tie game in the 9th? Ok. Maybe because he's a lefty.
I KNEW I should have picked baseball as a kid. But NOOOOO dad thought football would be better for me since I liked running kids over. Stupid dad....
You get his number?
If you think that we got more tail than the football players in a place where football was and is king and baseball wasn't shit (at the time), you'd be mistaken.
I like how in the middle of his windup he stops and looks like he's deciding if he's going to pitch or break out the Crane Technique on Johnny and the rest of the Cobra-Kai.
TMI
That double steal with 1 out was unfortunate.
Yeah but I played D3 football. Not a lot of demand for that. I stay in shape and keep my knees from sounding like Rice Krispies whenever I go to sit down, I think I coulda made a nice sized catcher or first baseman. Ah well.I still love the boos for Carlos. And the "Beltran sucks" chants. I like to carry grudges.
Get 'im a body bag, Jerry Johnny!
You might have been a mediocre pitcher like me.
I dare to dream.I can't believe this is my 1000th post. Oh well, I suppose this sums up my time here as well as anything could.
Strange. It resembled your number, Alk.
But I've got nothing.
Bourn wanted a piece of Country Boy there.
Welcome to the club. But you could write a vanity column too. Just sayin'.
A vanity column devoted to my love of 80's action flicks, the music of Muse, and random pop culture references in 90% of my posts regardless of what I'm posting about? Sweet.
West would shred that kid. Does anyone else like the "messing with Sasquatch" commercials. I particularly like the farting one. But that's just my sophomoric sense of humor.
Funny, but I thought the one where they tried to Charlie Brown/Lucy Sasquatch was hilarious.
FIFY.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFlQNtL8F9sA few years old but entertaining.
I like them all. The insipid group deserves to get fucked witht back by the big guy.
Haven't seen 101 in a while
102!
Ah yeah, that's an awesome video. But I meant "Jerry" as in Jerry Manuel! Of course I know the real quote from Karate Kid! What do you take me for?
anyone notice joe mauer's hot streak? he was hitting .295 3 weeks ago, he's now at .335 after a 4-5 effort tonight.
The Baldi Swami says Brett Wallace...
Cheese at the knees... nasty
They've been saying Tohle all night and all I can think of is this
Sheeeeeit. Nice work Fulchino!
Dems da breaks. I like that call though.
Damn you, I'm now on Page 6 of a thread I've already read and I need to go to bed.
Wow, Hunter has gone from Katy Perry to Enrique Iglesias.
I guess the whole ball has to be over for West to call it a strike.
