I'm trying to think of what Simpsons character Aaron Harang looks like. Thoughts?

Looks like most of Seattle is at the US/Panama game.

Nice...

And for those watching at home (or wishing they could... or sleeping... or whatever) End 6: HOU 0, SEA 3 (HOU being 1-hit).

One Astro hit through seven innings.

Take that, Mario Chalmers. You think you're a three-point shooter? Watch this.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

What game?!?  That one was over before the 4th quarter began...  Heck, it was so over that even Tracy McGrady got playing time with 6 minutes left in the game...

End 7: HOU 0, SEA 3

Bud at 94 pitches (5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO);
Harang at 96 pitches (2 H (JD got the second hit T8 and accounts for both HOU hits), 0 BB, 9 SO).

HOU has hit some on the screws here in T7 and T8, but not much to show for it...

God help me, I think I'm getting close to the point of declaring that Ronny Cedeno is even worse of a player than Tyler Greene.

Back in 1977, I camped out with a friend for tickets to see Elvis. We were in the first 20 in line, ill-prepared for the overnight chill. No jackets, just t-shirts and jeans, and few provisions to keep ourselves amused during the night. We'd made eye contact with two girls a little further up from us in line, but they were mostly bundled up in blankets and coats so there wasn't a lot of assessment or interplay going on.

Somewhere around 3am, when we'd tired of playing with the deck of cards we had, one of the girls motioned if they could borrow it for a while. I got up and walked toward them and when I got, say 10' away, it felt like my chest caved in and I was being pushed back forcibly. I'd gotten a good look at her and it was like running into a wall that was extending outward. I pitched the deck to her and went back to our spot in line.

Aaron Harang has that same kind of attribute.

I haven't seen anything that made me think he was worthy of rostering. But what the hell do I know?

As my dad used to say, he's so ugly he could scare starving dogs off a garbage truck.
