Gomez shaved his head. Let's hope this turns things around for him.

Jesus Christ, Ashby is fucking insufferable.

Martin grounds CLEARLY foul of first, and Ashby starts saying how close it was. Then they show a replay and he 180s without a WORD about the fact he said it was close to start with. Fucking numbnuts. I hate him so much.

They don't bother me half as much as they used  to (since I discovered how to change the audio feed).

I'm watching on actual live TV, no optional other feed for me. I'd love to listen to the radio instead.

I never remember change the feed at the start of the game, today it was the Springer dance discussion that made me wonder why the fuck I was listening to them.

Had the TV muted at that point, but saw the "Boogie Woogie" and said to Buster "What in the blue fuck is going on here?" and unmuted.

The broadcast just informed me that our DHs so far this season are hitting .200 with 2 homers and 8 RBIs 100 at bats in to the season.

That is fucking putrid.

And Tucker dips that number below the Mendoza Line swinging at a pitch up and out he couldn't have hit with a broom.

God I hate Carlos Gomez. 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs, dude is dealing. Throws you a meatball right down Main Street and you take it. Then you're an hour behind fast ball two and barely foul it off, then you wildly swing at a pitch A FOOT OUTSIDE IN THE FUCKING DIRT. He is fucking terrible.

At least McCullers went 5 scoreless tonight. He should be back for the road trip.

Luhnow just said Moran will probably be a summer call-up. Reed, too. He thinks Astros look like a .500 club right now.
