I didn't want to get greedy and tempt the baseball gods. Just one more. I promise.You did pretty well when the team needed you most. You should do four more.
If you can get a 6-4 record out of this next ten, it'd be wonderful. Anything better, you're probably looking at the third wild card come game 10. A sweep puts you ahead of the Astros.2 out of 4 is necessary. 3 out of 4 and I'll start to believe. Sweep and I'm buying playoff tickets.
Fantastic.Beat these guys like a trash can.

Terrence Malick making a gamethread appearance is good mojo.My wife grew up in Houston. She has fond memories of going along with many of her neighborhood friends and following the bug-fogger-killer truck on their bikes. What fun.
This isn't them. Just kids like them. Beat those fogging Houstons.

Cora said last night that Turner was going to get the night off as long as Casas was good to go. Turner's been grinding with a bone bruise on his heel. He needs a day (or two).No Justin Turner? Thinking.
Simple and plain.Soon we shall enjoy the fabled hospitality of the Astors.
Ok. Thanks for the update.Cora said last night that Turner was going to get the night off as long as Casas was good to go. Turner's been grinding with a bone bruise on his heel. He needs a day (or two).
Any rival teams you don't hate? Oakland and Kansas City don't count.I hate the Astors. Hate hate hate hate hate them. Hate them. Hate every simpering stupid vacant fan-insulting moment. Hate the sensibility that thought anyone would like them. Hated the implied insult to us by their belief that anyone would be entertained by them.
I hope we take their cucumber sammiches and stick 'em where the sun ain't shine.
No, I hate them all, but not with the same relative level of intensity. Also, I tend to focus my hate -- that is, I tend to only hate one at a time, except the Yankees.Any rival teams you don't hate? Oakland and Kansas City don't count.
What happened to the good vibes and serenity of “hoping everyone just has fun?”I hate the Astors. Hate hate hate hate hate them. Hate them. Hate every simpering stupid vacant fan-insulting moment.

I believe you may have me confused with someone else. That doesn't sound familiar.What happened to the good vibes and serenity of “hoping everyone just has fun?”
Aaron Boone didn't have fun. "They kicked our ass."What happened to the good vibes and serenity of “hoping everyone just has fun?”
That guy was banned.I believe you may have me confused with someone else. That doesn't sound familiar.
Definitely. Keep living your best life.I believe you may have me confused with someone else. That doesn't sound familiar.
Looks like he's halfway up out of his workplace.I guessing that's not this guy:
Personally, I hate Oakland a lot more than the Astros. Maybe I’m weirdAny rival teams you don't hate? Oakland and Kansas City don't count.
The Menil Collection and the Twombley museum are sick, and "Farewell Catullus to the Shores of Asia Minor" is a staggeringly good painting.You can fit all of Rhode Island into "Houston" 2.5 times. It's that big of a shithole!!!
Honestly though... Houston has got some beautiful walkable neighborhoods, great museums, incredible food and is the most diverse city in the entire US (sorry NY, LA). I don't get for the life of me why Austin seems to think it's so awesome. Not saying I'd want to live there since leaving the city feels like driving though hell and you have to go so stinking far before you see anything resembling a hill or mountain. The nearby coastal towns are all crap.
It makes it ever-so-slightly possible that someone will duct tape his mouth shut.Ugh. Millar on the call tonight. At least he'll actually be in the booth. Maybe that will make him 5% more tolerable.
The result of which would be DOB going it solo. He fancies himself a student of Vin Scully, but he is no Vin Scully.It makes it ever-so-slightly possible that someone will duct tape his mouth shut.
