wish he would decide to buy and not just let everything go
maybe they should talk to him about layaway

I watch a lot of these fuckers' games, and Profar is a major league whiner.

Are the Rangers in general a bunch of whiners?

Matt · « **Reply #8 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:13:03 pm »

Rangers take a page from the Astros' book with a suicide squeeze to take the lead 2-1.

Altuve follows Hoes with a double to score him. Tied 2-2.

Something else happened. Fly out maybe? Its three outs. Time to pound that pussy Garza some more. Bottom of the 5th 3-2 ASTROS.

Matt · « **Reply #26 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:42:27 pm »

Matt Garza bringing the merkin back.

Brandon Barnes homers near the Conoco Pump FUCK YEAH. 4-2 Astros.

Bench · « **Reply #28 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:44:17 pm »

Effective bunt, Barnes. That's the way to do it.

Matt · « **Reply #29 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:45:54 pm »

Garza needs to read the Wikipedia entry on merkins. Goes on your crotch not your chin big guy.

Elmore K's. 1 out.

Matt · « **Reply #32 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:52:27 pm »

Kinsler walks to start the top of the 6th.

Matt · « **Reply #33 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:53:42 pm »

Hoes makes a decent play on a long fly ball by Beltre to RF. 1 out. Kinsler on 1st.

Matt · « **Reply #34 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:56:21 pm »

AJ Dumbfuck flies out to deep CF. Kinsler makes it second on the tag. 2 out.

Matt · « **Reply #35 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:59:04 pm »

I don't know many of these Dallas players but one just K'ed to end the top of the 6th. 4-2 ASTROS.

Matt · « **Reply #36 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:03:33 pm »

Altuve lines one into LF to start the bottom of the 6th.

Matt · « **Reply #37 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:06:11 pm »

Castro K's looking. 1 out.

jbm · « **Reply #38 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:06:52 pm »

Yeah, trade Castro to get younger. Fuck these dumbass announcers.

I'm betting Carter makes contact. He is due.

Matt · « **Reply #39 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:08:37 pm »

Carter out on a hard liner to LF. 2 out. Altuve still on first.

Porter is in a tough spot: probably knows Bedard might need to be removed, but removed for what.

Matt · « **Reply #43 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:22:52 pm »

Bathroom break and the Rangers get a run somehow. Bedard out. Here comes the bullpen 4-3 ASTROS.

Matt · « **Reply #44 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:23:59 pm »

Zeid coming in with 2 outs and a runner on first.

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #45 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:25:16 pm »

Matt · « **Reply #46 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:25:53 pm »

First pitch line drive comes off Zeid but Matty D is there to throw out the runner. 3 outs. 4-3 ASTROS

double to right and bloop to center.

Bedard did a good job out there. Maybe, this will be one of those nights when the pen performs.

Well, that is one way to be an effective reliever: use your body to deflect the screamers.

On to the eighth. 4-3.

jbm · « **Reply #48 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:33:19 pm »

Wow, listening to these guys and you would think the Astros are just lucky. They must not have seen all those weakly struck hits by the Rangers.

jbm · « **Reply #49 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:35:31 pm »

Garza is letting Maddux know how he appreciates it that Maddux didn't send his wife out there for the meeting.

Zeid does what he shouldn't. Leadoff walk.

jbm · « **Reply #52 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:46:15 pm »

Nice to see them point how Altuve still hasn't learned the fundamentals of catch and tag. He has been doing that for years. Simple, little things. They cost you.

Outlawscotty · « **Reply #53 on:** August 09, 2013, 10:05:02 pm »

At least the crickets stopped for a minute. I didn't realize how loud they were until I was switching channels. I just assumed they were in MY house.

jbm · « **Reply #54 on:** August 09, 2013, 10:18:14 pm »

This bullpen is such a piece of crap. They might as well try the tandem thing.

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #55 on:** August 09, 2013, 10:20:17 pm »

I can't watch any more of this, time to see how the Rays are going.

austro · « **Reply #56 on:** August 10, 2013, 07:16:56 am »

We were at a wedding last evening and got home about 10:20. I figured wtf, it's an Al game, it may still be on (it's one of the 18 games we get to see since it's against the Rangers). Sure enough, it was still going, and I got to see Krauss K to leave the bases loaded (following a real nice AB by Dominguez where he showed great judgment as they tried to get him to fish at stuff just outside the zone, eventually working a walk on a full count). That's when I learned that the 8th inning took more than an hour. What the fuck, indeed.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #57 on:** August 10, 2013, 08:19:59 am »

It's a rare occasion when the bullpen doesn't blow it.
