I hate baseball. I hate the Red Sox. But I hate the Yankees most of all. Fuck the Yankees, suck it down losers. Florida owned your asses in your home stadium, and now the Sox have too. It's about time the mystique was kicked to the curb. Better hope baseball never gets a salary cap, b/c the gravy train will be over. Now for the Sox to choke in the WS and either the Stros or Cards to win. I can't fucking stand the Sox and their obnoxious fans. Boston deserves another century's worth of misery. You guys got the fucking Pats anyway. And not the old school punching-bag Pats anymore either. Two championships in one year? Boston will float off into space with all the big heads they'll have up there. No thanks. Let's go NL. Wait a minute....let's go football. PEACE.

P.S. I welched on my boycott for about half an hour last night. I flipped to FOX just as Damon hit the GS. I was like, "nice HR, that should offer some help." Then the announcer said it was a grand slam, and I got this big shit-eating grin on my face. The only thing that kept me watching, b/c I fully expected the Boston Stranglers to put in a classic choke last night.

you fail to realize the yankees owned baseball wayyyy before free agency.

thank you, goodbye.

 

[Desperado]

[Joe]

roger's gonna be hit or miss. he's either going to pitch a gem or he's gonna put the astro's in a hole early.

 

[Bowser]

Some Astros fans started a Web site _ KeepBeltran.com _ pledging to donate $25 a person to Beltran's favorite charity. The site begs: "We might not win a bidding war with the Yankees, but if we all band together we can offer him something much more valuable." By Thursday afternoon, $8,871 had been pledged to the Beltran fund.

Another site _ astrosdaily.com _ had more than 18,000 online signatures on a petition addressed to Astros owner Drayton McLane, urging him to re-sign Beltran.

"In Kansas City, a lot of people didn't know who I was," Beltran said. "In this city, they really want me back. It feels great to hear those things."

I now hate Jeanne Zalasko

Joe is now in love with her


She just said (about Beltran) "Might look good in Yankee pinstripes" shut up crazy bitch

 

[Grimlock]

Say, does anyone know if Steinbrenner said anything about last night's game, or are they still busy gluing his head back together after it exploded?

 

[Eminem]

that's a nice way to start things off

 

[Desperado]

BIG-GI-O!! BIG-GI-O!! BIG-GI-O!! BIG-GI-O!! BIG-GI-O!! BIG-GI-O!!

 

[Willco]

Beltran will be the Yankees' center fielder, now matter how much you Astros fans want to deny it. Once you accept that, you can move on with life!

 

[Escape Goat]

wow, nice catch by Edmonds

 

[Evenball]

Superman Catch II: The electric boogaloo

 

[Mrbob]

Holy shit, what a catch by Edmonds.

Beltran will be the Yankees' center fielder, now matter how much you Astros fans want to deny it. Once you accept that, you can move on with life!

Yup. And then the Yankees are going to turn around and trade Beltran to the Cubs for Sosa.

 

[Eminem]

Edmonds is too good a fielder. Yikes, that was great.

 

[Mashing]

Damn it... that saved 2 runs with a runner on 3 and 1 out... damn it.... fabulous catch

 

[Desperado]

:lol you're hilarious MrBob.

damn you edmonds

 

[MetatronM]

WOW @ Edmonds catch.

Yes, I know I'm a little late, but it still needed to be said.

 

[Mashing]

Suppan living dangerously... he's going to be out of this game early me thinks

 

[Desperado]

5 pitch inning for the Rocket.

 

[Evenball]

I'm going to stand out on a limb here and say I think the trade for Beltran was worth it for Houston.

 

[MetatronM]

Beltran = Astro Jesus

 

[Desperado]

They kept mentioning the Card's errorless streak....well they jinxed 'em.

 

[MetatronM]

Holy crap! Suicide squeeze! Awesomest LCSes ever.

 

[Mashing]

Just as flash in the pan for the Cards

 

[Desperado]

Question: how do you defend against the squeeze?

 

[MetatronM]

Question: how do you defend against the squeeze?

Hope they screw it up.

 

[Lathentar]

Question: how do you defend against the squeeze?

You can't unless the bunter misses the ball or pops it up.

 

[Desperado]

eh, that's what I figured.

oh well.

2-1 go stros

 

[Drozmight]

I donno if you can really, but I think you have to do it just right or you're screwed. Say if the better missed the bunt...

 

[Mashing]

they don't call it the SUICIDE squeeze for nothing... if the batter doesn't make contact, you're toast as the runner

 

[Shinobi]

you know...think about it. Sox are down 3-0 and comeback to win. The most struggling player on the team comes through in game 7 with 6 RBIs.

Seriously, if this was a movie, it'd be total bullshit. You really cannot top this. You cannot script this. un-fucking-real.

Haha, it's so true...I woke up this morning and I still couldn't believe Boston had won. I can't imagine what their fans must be feeling.

"Don't knock it till you try it"

:lol

 

[GashPrex]

The passion of Damon

 

[SyNapSe]

These playoffs have been amazing so far. Being a Royals fan, it's nice getting to see our former players get promoted from AAAA to the Major Leagues and enjoy success.

 

[GashPrex]

asmus just shit the bed royally

 

[J2 Cool]

The passion of Damon

:lol Curt looks awesome

 

[Desperado]

Ausmus...

eh. Suppan up to 77 pitches.

 

[Mashing]

Why is there a Citgo sign in that picture?

 

[MetatronM]

Why is there a Citgo sign in that picture?

It's a Fenway Park landmark. Actually, it's a few blocks away, but it always looks like it's looming just beyond the Monster.

 

[Desperado]

Lots of warning track outs in this one.

 

[Incognito]

wow.

these announcers are laying it on thick for the astros. are they jockying for a job in drayton's front offfice?

 

[Rodriguez]

As far as offseason moves, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Hideki Matsui, Gary Sheffield, Mike Mussina, and Mariano Rivera are the only "untouchables" on the Yankees' roster to me. I'd also like to see them re-sign Miguel Cairo at second base, Orlando Hernandez as a 5th starter, John Olerud at first base and John Flaherty at catcher. If they could unload the rest, I'd be a happy man (although that will be impossible due to the fact they are all ridiculously overpaid).

For pitching, there really is no one in the farm system than can really step up and help the club next year. Of course, I hope the Yanks can trade for Randy Johnson. But there are a couple FA starters I'd like to see them go after: Brad Radke, Matt Clement, and Eric Milton (only if they do not get Unit). I wonder if Billy Wagner or Eddie Guardado would be willing to move to the set-up role like Gordon did?

 

[Mashing]

Wagner just got a contract extension with the Phils, that's not going to happen

 

[Mrbob]

I think it is time to put Oswalt in.

 

[Mrbob]

TIE GAME!


I wonder how Matrix is holding up?? :lol

OMG TWO RUN SHOT.

SO LONG STROS.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Heh. Would of loved to see the Astros in the WC.
