Astros at Giants – Oh, Barry Don’t You Weep No More

Posted on May 20, 2007 by Craig in Series Previews

AT&T Park

Monday, May 21, 9:15 p.m. CDT – FSN
Tuesday, May 22, 9:15 p.m. CDT – KNWS
Wednesday, May 23, 9:15 p.m. CDT – FSN

Since this is normally where I bitch about the stupid fucking blackout rule, I thought I’d explain my usual routine when sitting down to an Astros game. And now that I have a monster HD jumbotron, it’s even more relevant, and swear-worthy.

Usually it goes like this: turn on huge-ass TV, turn on satellite, tune to Fox Southwest. Wait anxiously, and then announce to anyone within earshot: “Goddamn Texas Rangers. They’re showing these fuckers AGAIN!” And then I go turn on XM Radio and bitch about Milo.

Sometimes there’s an alternate FSN channel, but it’s about as reliable as Morgan Ensberg with two strikes. Though I have to say, that Fox Southwest high-def channel is outstanding. If only I could just watch it every game, then I could shut my whore mouth about the shitty TV scheduling.

A very impressive pitching performance by RoyO and solid bullpen work were not enough to keep the Giants and their young phenom from getting away with a win as the Astros dropped the final of the series in heartbreaking fashion, 2-1 in 12.

Pigpen’s path to Cooperstown: 0-fer (2,966)

AP recap
Footer MIA,  Ben DuBose fills in with his wrap.

Carlos Lee hammered his second solo home run of the night off of the limestone facade with one out in the 10th inning to send the rockin’ Minute Maid Park fans home happy as the Astros beat the Giants 6-5. El Caballo crossed the dish four times on his four hits and a walk in his perfect evening of work.Read More
