I went to the games on Monday and Tuesday and listened today at work. Just terrible. Absolutely terrible.

I really need to take a break and focus on some other hobbies. I just take it way too seriously for my own good.

Ha, I was there today. Valentin single handedly cost them the win today. His I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE COULD HAVE POSSIBLE BEEN THINKING base running play, and his I CAN'T CATCH AN EASY FOUL BOUL plays is why they lost. And Borchard swinging at the first fucking pitch and grounding into a DP.

Ah well, still 60 games left. 6 left with the twinkies. Hopefully this was a wake-up call for them.

 

[Mashing]

3-0 Stros, after 1....

Adam Everett (quickly becoming my favorite player) with another hit

 

[Cubsfan23]

Cubs with another solo home run

 

[Lathentar]

3-0 Stros, after 1....

Adam Everett (quickly becoming my favorite player) with another hit

I'm amazed at how well the Astros have been playing lately.

 

[Miguel]

Adam is .400 since the break.

Gary Gaetti has been the hitting coach since the break.

Coincidence?

 

[Lathentar]

BACK TO BACK!

Kent and Bags.... holy crap.

 

[Mrbob]

Uh oh.

Wood just gave up a two run jack.

4-1 Crew going to the top of the 5th. D00m3d?

 

[Matrix]

Gary Gaetti has fixed the swing of pratically every batter on this team...I bow before his nose.

 

[Mashing]

I'm optimistic... but let's be frank... we're playing Arizona... and they look like a minor league team right now.

If Randy Johnson was pitching in this series and we still got 10 runs... then I'd be really excited.

 

[Matrix]

Yea I'm aware they're playing a shit team,difference is that they couldnt do this against the shit teams before with Spillman as hitting coach.

 

[siege]

Damn, the Bucs had 11 hits to Atlanta's 5 and the Braves still won 1-0. Russ Ortiz won his 6th straight game.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Cubs lose

 

[Matrix]

LMAO @ Biggio

Anyone else watching the stros game catch what he did?

 

[Mashing]

Yeah, I did... that was hilarious... Mayne was laughing with Biggio after that too

 

[Joe]

what happened?

 

[Matrix]

Mike Fetters was pitching and of course he did his usual puff real hard and then turn and look at the plate with an evil face routine...Biggio did the samething back at him LOL

Stros win *over.500 BABY!* and are only 3 games behind the baby bears.

 

[Joe]

lol i hope they show it on baseball tonight.

[Miguel]

Someone TiVo it and capture it to your TVs. I wanna see that.

 

[Mrbob]

Don't sweat it the Stros are playing the worst team in MLB. This should have been a four game sweep. It could be a split.

 

[Desperado]

# of times the Cubs have lost to the Dbacks this season = 4

 

[Rodriguez]

Way to go, Felix Heredia, you worthless piece of shit. How the fuck is this damn scrub still be on the team? Because he's a lefty in the bullpen? HE CAN'T GET LEFTIES OUT! HE CAN'T GET ANYONE OUT! He's worthless, he sucks, it's over, get rid of him.

 

[Scoobert]

Hee Seop Choi Hee Seop Choi Hee Seop Choi!!

 

[Mrbob]

The Phillies might as well not show up in Florida to play. Just take the losses and get some R & R.

 

[Desperado]

[Deleted member 1159]

The A's have quietly won 5 in a row and are going to overtake the AL West lead tonight, AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NL CENTRAL?

:|

 

[Desperado]

NL > AL

besides, you have Dotel on your team. I can't possibly root for you. Also, I like the Rangers. =P

 

[Deleted member 1159]

St. Louis will win the Central and you're in no shape to win the wild card. Lost season, get over it.

OAKLAND 2004 WORLD CHAMPS!

 

[Mrbob]

Saaaaammmmyyy!

Two run blast! 3-0 Cubs in the 6th! Stros down 4-1 to the Diamondbacks in the 5th Redding sucks lol.

 

[Scoobert]

And the Marlins sweep the Phillies beating them 10-1 today. They just got run over by the D-Train.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Redding sucks

From a houston fan, trust us, we know he does.

 

[AstroLad]

Wow could it be another win!

I guess I should give the bullpen a chance to blow it first.

Look at the month of July for us:

probably cause he sexes up steinbrenner? for the life of me, i cant understand why they kept this scrub and traded gabe white.

 

[Mrbob]

Can Houston find someone else to start than Redding? Surely they have someone in the minors they could bring up who could do better!

Houston is now involved in a three game firesale war with Cincinnati. Whoever loses, team gets sold off! Cincy is playing so poorly right now though that it is perfect time for the Stros to go get some wins. However this may also mean they turn it around against Houston!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

seriously, forget randy johnson. it's a freaking bullpen lefty we need. and a long man. oh, for the days of ramiro mendoza....

 

[Mashing]

Yeah, the Astros have Carlos Hernandez who is picthing really well in New Orleans... they're taking their time with him after his injuy and I'm glad they are... With that said, it wouldn't surprise me to see him up in the majors later this year.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

The astros should just sell off our team and reform it with a nucleus of beltran and berkman. When was the last time we restructured, 1991?

 

[Mashing]

Heh, next year is going to be interesting... If Garner stayes the coach for next year (and I hope he does, him and his staff have done a great job so far)... I'd expect for the team to be much younger and with a lot of speed.

 

[Joe]

they know heredia is absolutely horrible right now but they keep putting him in games to try and straighten out. when you have an 8 game lead you can do that sort of stuff. they know they need a lefty in the pen and they've said they're trying to get one but they are also getting heredia in games just in case they cant. and when karsay finally comes back, the pen will be a lot stronger.

karsay aint coming back any time soon and this team is built for the postseason, not the playoffs. no amount of "practice" is gona starighten heredia. he sucks and the yanks dont wanna acknowledge this.

 

[Scoobert]

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

what? he got fired?

 

[Scoobert]

No just a few of the many reactions he had during the Marlins and Phillies series. He was always shaking his head, put his head down, cursing, or throwing something in the dugout. It was priceless watching him in that dugout, lol.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

he's probably gonna get canned if the phils dont turn it around.

 

[Joe]

he was actually a good reliever last year for the yanks and the reds, they're just hoping he can capture it again.
