What ever you do, please do not gather at the CVS at W. Alabama and Shepherd.

I'll never forget Limey's expression after the Podsednik home run. "But I just ordered this beer!"

Chuck spent most of the night pacing. It was an odd night.

There's no truth to the rumor that Roeder's had to be sold because Chuck's pacing inside and outside the bar had caused irreparable foundation damage.

Understood. I frequent the area (I recently lived a mile away from Shepard and Alabama) and forgot about Roeder's.  I have a late meeting tonight in the Heights but will find somewhere to watch in the area. My girlfriend can't understand my behavior. She jokingly threatened to wear Ranger's panties to troll me. She backed off that idea pretty fast when she realized that there is some crazy best left alone. She's trying now...she knows that Pickle throws left-handed and has a beard and doesn't pitch every day and there is another guy I like who they traded for and he pitched the whole game and that little guy is really fast...she was real disappointed to learn there is more baseball tonight--how much can there be? Just 2-5 more games, and maybe 4-7 after that...you never know.

6 more games is the minimum.  Now, some people are happy to do the minimum, and we're ok with that.

To say the least.  My daughter was born that night.

Wife's water broke about 5 minutes after I got home, and I had to get my drunk self together and get my wife to a hospital.

It's been almost 12 years since that night.  The Astros haven't been back to the World Series since. I don't blame my daughter, but I don't fully trust her either.

The Astros twitter feed has been pimping Pluckers on Shepherd.

So, now more than ever, stay away from Pluckers on Shepherd.  Got it.

You mean Shenanigans?  You guys are talking about Shenanigans, right?

My cousin and I are on the train headed to New York now.  Will be in left field about 20 rows back.

I believe Shenanigans was also the name of the restaurant in the widely underrated Ryan Reynolds movie "Waiting...".

[PCOL2000]

I’m in the rainbow uni that hasn’t been washed (or taken out of the closet) since 2005.  I’ll frame it when they win it all but until then it doesn’t get washed.  Cousin is in the flue altuve Jersey.  We’ll be the ones hopefully not getting the shit kicked out of.  Honestly, I’ve had some really good conversations lately with some pretty intelligent yankee fans and don’t have problems with most. 

[BudGirl]

Enjoy PCOL2000! 

Is Biz going tonight?

[Andyzipp]

Beg pardon, but that was Shenaniganz. 

Either way, it's all better than Chotchkie's.

[toddthebod]

I will be at Yankee stadium tomorrow night and Wed. night (if necessary).  I'll be watching the game at a bowling alley in Fair Lawn, NJ tonight if anyone wants to watch with me. 

[NeilT]

So is anyone going out to watch the game this evening?  I can't I guess, but it sure is tempting. 

I love that CVS. 

[BudGirl]

I guess not.

[NeilT]

I guess not.

Ya'll can come to our house if you want.  Not a great TV set up, and Kris will be surprised, but the dogs will like it.

We had a great Yankee fan behind us Friday, but the guy Saturday was a world class asshole. Mark and I may have said unkind things to him. I know I did.

I get mad at Yankee fans for being so far up their own arses, but then the media blows so much smoke up there that I wonder if they even know where they are.

Reminds me of a comedian I once heard:

"I was in Pasadena, TX last Saturday night...and I know what you're wondering;  what'd I bowl"

I have conference calls tonight:  7:00 - 8:30, 9:00 -10:00, and 2:00 -4:00.  If the good Lord's willing, and the Astros win, I might get drunker than shit between 10 and 2.

[Ty in Tampa]

Nothin' better than a drunken conference call at 2AM.

Is there any other kind of anything at 2am?

For some reason I thought you lived in Englewood. Fair Lawn seems like quite a trek just to throw a few frames.

[PCOL2000]

We met some good people tonight.  I probably heard more than 300 various “f*** the Astros chants”.  As I am typing this, we are on the d train listening to a chant of “f*** altuve”. I don’t think I have ever heard anything like that in Minute Maid - or even the dome.  If the stros win tomorrow, we may guy try to come back on Wednesday because t I would honestly rather sit in the comfort of my living room than hear more of that.  It kind of made me sad.

Edited to remove the actual f-bombs.

Disgusting

[BudGirl]

Agreed.  I had one person on facebook that said something and I asked where that crap was prior to that game.  Judge was due a hit, we all saw it coming.

Two of the cheapest home runs you'll ever see.

Makes me wonder about all these storied Yankees...

Kris has instructions to get frozen chili and fritos.  BG, don't mess up again. 

[BudGirl]

It is not all might fault.  I'm pretty sure Biz was at the game.

Careful about cheap home runs. Correa’s Saturday was not exactly a bomb.

No, but it also wasn't treated like the shot heard around the world like Judge fighting off an inside pitch and it carrying to the short - and low - left center field wall.  They've been calling MMP a hitter-friendly park all post-season, when we've faced the Red Sox with their Monstah and that insane RF corner, and the Yankees with a 6 ft high wall, 314 feet away down either line.

The bullshit punditry just boils my bottom.

[BizidyDizidy]

The Yankees fans are, without a doubt, the most offensive and obnoxious I've ever encountered at a visiting park.

Apparently they doused Hinch's family with beer on Monday night.  There's that familiar Yankee Way Classiness.

Worse than the way they act, they wear it like a badge of honor. Fucking dickheads.

the ultimate revenge is to beat their sorry asses. On the pregame A-Rod just mentioned yesterday was the first time he had seen beer "spilled" from the upper deck since 2009 or some such year. I hope no one in Astros colors gets spilled beer on them.

[PCOL2000]

I seriously thought it was going to happen to us on monday.  Came out pretty clean though.  When judge went yard beer and popcorn and anything else in Yankee fans hands went flying.  Have that on video.

Mexican soccer fans seem saintly when compared to Yankee fan.

Well Italian soccer fans once "poured" a moped off the upper deck.

Makes beer seem a bit minor league.

Florida Gators fans are awful too. Many years ago, they dumped a large bucket of urine on the LSU football team as it came onto the field at the swamp, soaking one of our starting DB's.
