Milo's dentures meet Patty's mole - unholy vortex.

[Fredia]

i hope the whole brew crew gets diarrhea at the same time and are forced to leave the field and forefit baseball

Milo's dentures meet Patty's mole - unholy vortex.

Shitfick. That's some combination.

[OregonStrosFan]

Shitfick. That's some combination.

And Angel Hernandez behind the plate... FYB!!!

[Fredia]

i am going to cry

norris opens with a k

[Mr. Happy]

Bud goes after them with four seam fastballs and gets two strikeouts and down in order. 0- Bottom 1

[OregonStrosFan]

So... the first pitch of the game was set aside so it could be authenticated as the 'last 1st pitch' for the Astros as an NL team... With any luck some lucky coroner may be able to identify and authenticate it as the ball shoved down W. Huber Selig's throat when he croaked... FYB

[Mr. Happy]

There's nothing more perfect than to have the hated Carpenter going for the Terdinals tonight. He symbolizes everything that I've come to know and to hate about the Terdinals.

My vote for that distinction would be Neck Tat... #FYB!!!

[OregonStrosFan]

I feel like I am having to carry the 'Weight of Huber Hate' in the GZ all by myself tonight... Such loathing is really too much for any one person to have to bear... Gotta help be out here tonight folks... #FYB!

[Ron Brand]

I'm giving you all I've got, because I hate that sonofabitch with all the hatred I've ever felt from being on the short end of some asshole's stick. At least we're young enough, after he dies we can all piss on his grave.

[chuck]

Seriously, dude, do you really want me to start in on that?

[Mr. Happy]

I'm with you!

It'd be nice if he'd croak before the 2013 HOF induction so that we could all meet up in MIL to piss on said grave on our way to see Biggio and Bagwell get inducted together! (Yes, wishful thinking that he'll ever die so I might as well wish big and hope for a 5 & 7 co-induction)!

[OregonStrosFan]

Seriously, dude, do you really want me to start in on that?

Actually... yes! (Then again, may not be good for your health to get that riled up, so you have a pass if you need it!).

[Ron Brand]

Trust me OSF, it's not going to be what you think it will be.

[Ron Brand]

Carpenter, you suck.

[Mr. Happy]

Actually... yes! (Then again, may not be good for your health to get that riled up, so you have a pass if you need it!).

Fuck any pass. I paid good money to see the hatred spewing out of Chuck!

[OregonStrosFan]

Trust me OSF, it's not going to be what you think it will be.

I understand the risk, but asked specifically for Huber hatred and I trust that Chuck'd do me the courtesy of limiting the vitriol to Huber this one time...  

And let me add, MR. THE ALTUVE with a monster shot to left make it 1-0 HOU!!!

[Ron Brand]

Real hard to fuck up like that and beat this team.

Time to go and face my own gang of assholes.

[ValpoCory]

I asked in the TZ, but is Milo's radio call online anywhere?

ETA:  Sweet, I found one.   The affiliate in Brenham.   http://tunein.com/station/?StationId=26809

[chuck]

The only guy in the dugout anywhere near Altive's size is that Japanese guy who sits at the end of the bench. I think it's Matsui's sushi chef and no one has the heart to tell him Kaz no longer plays for the team.

[OregonStrosFan]

I asked in the TZ, but is Milo's radio call online anywhere?

There is an MLB audio feed of the game here, but I haven't listened to it and it may in fact be Chris Burke doing the call.

You led me directly into a Dave Raymond inning. Nice going.

[ValpoCory]

Nice hashtag by Footer.

[Lefty]

It'd be nice if he'd croak before the 2013 HOF induction

Knowing that unholy tub of shit, he'd die the day before and overshadow everything, just to fuck us one last time.

[ValpoCory]

You are right.  It isn't Milo, and it is Burke.

[ValpoCory]

Carpenter, you suck.

And now he may be the answer to a trivia question for possibly years to come ... "Who was the last pitcher to get a hit at MMP?".    Maybe Norris gets one more try.

[ValpoCory]

Nice exchange between Milo and Bidge.   All class, that Craig Biggio.

[Mr. Happy]

Norris has an ERA from innings 7-9 of 8.59. Just sayin'. We got a scoreless seventh out of him. I wouldn't tempt fate here. The kid needs a win in the worst way.

Fate ... tempted.

Norris grounds out.  Grrr.  At least he's the answer to the question of who was the last pitcher to bat.

[chuck]

These two guys treat the game as a total afterthought. The count on Castro was 3-1 before they bothered to mention that the inning was even underway. Incredible.

I will admit, that like Biggio's 3,000th or his final game, that honoring an individual takes priority when there is very little at stake with the team, but yes, they shouldn't completely ignore the game.

[austro]

The baseball gods are toying with us. How else to explain the beginning of this inning?

[ValpoCory]

Yep.  BBGs.

They were discussing the first time Milo ever saw pizza for sale at a ball park.

[Mr. Happy]

I absolutely agree with Tony D's going to Lopez with the tying runners on base and one out. That's a throwback to the "fireman" days of Sparky Lyle and Goose Gossage. Millsie would have never done that.

[Ebby Calvin]

Just turned the game on.  Fuck you, Bud.

[Ebby Calvin]

Who was the last NL pitcher to get 2 hits in a game at MMPUS?

ETA: Well fuck me.  Wrong Carpenter.  Same asshole I assume.

[Ebby Calvin]

Astros win!  Fuck you, Bud.

[austro]

Excellent! Fuck the Cards!

ETA: And fuck Bud, too, of course!

[Mr. Happy]

We just served them a shitburger shutout. Fuck them!

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Yee Haw!!!

[OregonStrosFan]

Astros win!  Fuck you, Bud.

Phenomenal start by Bud! Thank you for that win HOU!!! #FYB 
(fyi, a loss would've made the Co-ards .500 at MMPUS).

[chuck]

It's like Brocail is stoned.

My exact thought, too.

That interview was great. My already high level of respect and admiration for Red-Ass just went up several notches.

[OregonStrosFan]

"I personally as a fan am disgusted with it."

Doug Brocail, on the move to the AL

Loved that quote (from an otherwise obviously stoned Brocail), as well as the end of it: "...but I don't have a say in it". #FYB

And speaking of quotes, after Milo insisted on getting another kiss from Patty Smith during his 7th inning interview. someone (Brownie?) piped up that [JDs dad] was going to get jealous, and Patty (or someone) said that she was a "huge hit with the over 83 crowd."  [I thought she said it anyway, but who knows, maybe I'm stoned...]

Milo about to sign off.

[Ebby Calvin]

Milo about to sign off.

Thanks for the years, Milo.  His voice will always remind me of Astros baseball.  That's a good thing.

Blue star.

I fondly remember the two of you conversing at an Astroline at Baker Street.  It's the only time I've ever seen two people warmly scowl at each other.

[Bench]

i hope the whole brew crew gets diarrhea at the same time and are forced to leave the field and forefit baseball

Worthy of a GZ retweet. 

[Ebby Calvin]

Worthy of a GZ retweet. 

Thanks. Of all the misfortunes I might ever wish upon any given group of people, this might be the most dear to my heart.

[chuck]

That's funny; you know, I'd forgotten about that. He and I got fairly friendly back when I went to all the ST games. We'd scowl at each other approvingly.

ETA That day at Baker Street among other things he told me how much he hated DoRay. He referred to them as clowns.

Don't bother, they're here, indeed.

[Mr. Happy]

Thanks for the years, Milo.  His voice will always remind me of Astros baseball.  That's a good thing.

Blue star.

To me, Milo was an iternant braodcaster who I will always remember as the voice of the Braves on Hank Aaron's 715th home run. Gene Elston and Loell Passe will always be the Astros broadcasters to me.

[juliogotay]

I didn't get to see the game last nite as my Tyler hotel room only had the Rangers. What was different about Norris last nite that made him successful? Better stuff? Better control? I see he had no walks.

He had his blister under control for one thing and was able to throw the slider with some authority all game. He lived on the corners and got the calls out there.

Man would I love to fire up a Lovera about now.

Thanks for that report, as I didn't see the game, except on mlb.com gameday. I haven't even bought a television up here yet since the apartment complex banned DirecTV dishes. The Angel of Death was giving him the calls, eh? It's about time that motherfucker did something right. I love it that Norris beat my most hated Terdinals pitcher to boot. Carpenter personifies everything that I hate about that club, and he's an asshole to boot. Fuck him.

If you'd bought the mlb.tv and a Roku like I told you you'd be watching all the games and you wouldn't have to fight with those hippies about any dish.

I forgot all about that advice. Damnit.
