'Stros train keeps on rollin'! TOOT TOOT

 

[Matrix]

I feel a Preston Wilson hit coming up,one that will shock people.

Whooo I was close enough Gw sac fly should count.

 

[Miguel]

I don't think I've ever ran as fast from my car to my room to turn on the radio so fast. I got into my driveway after the 4th ball to Berkman, and was in my room before the first pitch to Ensberg. :lol

Had to get out of the car, get to my door, unlock both locks, get to the back of my house (my room is the last one), run over my sister in the process, and then turn on the radio and switch it from 610 to the Astros radio station.

 

[Joe]

a true fan would have waited in the car until the 3rd out. i pity you.

There was no 3rd out ^_^

I didn't miss a thing! (Milo has his 15 second pauses that gave me enough time to get in.)

 

[Mrbob]

omg how did i miss Nomar's Grand Slam yesterday???

I'm surprised he didn't tear his ACL rounding the bases.

:lol You miss him,deep down inside you miss that nose of a man.

What the fuck is it with Astros and games that don't end?

Is it 1986 again?

 

[Matrix]

Is it 1986 again?

Link,they had an 18 inning game last year against the Braves in the playoffs.

Astros and longest games go hand and hand,it proves they usually have solid pitching and crappy hitting.

 

[Link]

It's always fun watching games that go into deep extra innings, especially when one team scores, only to have the othert eam answer back and the game continues. Even if my team loses, I get a lot of enjoyment out of such close competition.

EDIT - That 18 inning game, that's the one Burke won for them, right? I remember that. Great game. Felt good, heh.

 

[Matrix]

Yep,the shot heard around Houston.

This pic never gets old

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

all right people, back to today's fun.

 

[Eminem]

Not to mention the epic World Series game last year.

Cincinnati winning again. What the christ.

Well, they ARE playing the Nationals.

DAN KOLB SIGHTING

 

[ijm72]

Angel Guzman is of to a good start with 3 k's in the first 2 innings. Hopefully his durability is more like Carlos Zambrano and less like Wood and Prior.

That double play in the first saved his ass. He might have been rattled had it kept going on after Cabrera's triple.

Their offense can't be beaten, only their pitching (which has been overall excellnt of late).

Their bullpen, on paper, is awful.


Kolb with an easy 1-2-3 inning...what year is it?

It has settled down somewhat from the opening 2 weeks of the season.

 

[ijm72]

Yeah I admit that it did save his ass but at least he got out of the jam and it looks like he settled down. If it was Jerome Williams, Rich Hill or some other young Cubs pitcher they would have probably given up 4 or 5 runs in that inning.

Edit: Fuck I should have kept my mouth shut. From now on I am not saying anything until the game is over.

 

[Mashing]

The Stros got Cincy on the road up next. Should be a good series. The fucking Reds always play the Stros tough.

 

[Eminem]

:lol :lol :lol :lol Steve Stone ripping on Steve Phillips for trading Jason Bay:

"What, afraid he was gonna be too good? And you'd still have your job and not be an announcer?"


Harden injured, and my fantasy team cries.

And Izzy blows another save :lol

 

[Miguel]

Oswalt is 15-0 with a 2.41 ERA lifetime against the Reds. Last year, he was 4-0 with a 2.03 ERA. His career mark against the Reds is a Major League record for the most wins vs. one opponent without a loss.

WTF would you want to jinx Roy?

Keep your greedy little hands off Roy O

How can he win today when hes not pitching?

I'll call you slowrac from now on.

 

[Miguel]

^ He's that fucking good.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

I'll call you slowrac from now on.

THEN WHY IS HE MENTIONING HIM!??!?!?!??! HOW DARE YOU!!!! DONT MAKE ME RANT!!!

 

[shantyman]

Eventually, the Reds will beat him!

 

[Fifty]

Shanty, did you watch the Reds game today? I see Brandon Phillips was 0-5 with 6 left on base....pretty scary numbers. If you did watch it...was he really that bad or did he get unlucky on some ABs?

I did not watch it. I listened to a bit. He was NL player of the week last week, so I won't get worried unless it becomes a habit.

The Arroyo trade has piad dividends already. I can't believe the Red Sox traded a solid, semi young starting pitcher for a completely unproven outfielder with potential and zero fielding ability.

Arroyo had a declining K rate and couldn't get lefties out. He was also going to pitch out of the pen. AL hitters had Arroyo figured out.

Wait till the NL has seen Arroyo a few times before praising this deal from a Reds perspective.

 

[Eminem]

But Pena still sucks =p

 

[Joe]

pena will be traded in june.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

They're not trading Wily Mo. He's Nixon's replacement.

Once Papa Jack turns him into Lil' Papi, you'll all see.

 

[Eminem]

Joe Girardi is a fucking retarded manager.


Also, Brian Bannister's hamstring just fucking exploded. God it looked painful.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Hey, the A's won their first series in like a decade! Hooray!

 

[Eminem]

But at what cost.

Why does Girardi suck?
