Opening Day!!!! Mariners at Astros, April 3rd
« on: April 03, 2017, 05:27:38 pm »
Alright all you yahoos, another season of Astros baseball is upon us.  Try not to suck.

Earn it.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

 Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Kick some fuckin' ass and take no prisoners.

Although, I suppose if you took Robinson Cano prisoner, that could provide leverage in trade talks or something.

I was prematurely mentally commending him for his plate discipline for the takes on the previous pitches.

Segura with an excellent bunt down the 3B line, but Keuchel barehands it and just barely nails Segura at 1B.

Keuchel only threw five pitches this inning.

Two very ugly AB's by Altuve. He's trying to win the game here in the 3rd inning.  200 hits > 30 HR's.
Another trenchant comment by a jealous lesser intellect.

Great win. The best aspect of it, by far, being how sharp Keuchel was. He doesn't have to be a Cy Young again. If he can even get back to his 2014 form, they will be in very good shape.

Also, it may take me a while to not feel very uneasy watching this bullpen close games out.

He can't win the Cy Young if LMJ wins it.
