what is our streak right now for hitless ABs
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
21 I think...
since Murph’s RBI single in the 3rd last night.

go team go!!!
let’s get at least 4 hits!
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

I think the Conte juice affects Byrds' judgement
If he has an extra gear, it’s stuck in swing mode
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I was out last night
And just sort of fast forward through last night’s game when I got home. It seemed to me that the counts were generally deeper than they have been lately. What was it like to actually watch it?
Slightly less hacktastic...
except for a couple of AB’s by Byrd and Face

Padilla worked a full count,
and TAG got on him for watching strike 3.
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
Yeah I did watch that AB in its entirety.
I sort of agreed with Grieve, but for fuck’s sake he’s a pitcher. Working the count full for an AL pitcher is like hitting a grand slam for a position player.

but he more than made up for it...
on his next AB, and on the mound.
Wonder he could show others how to bunt like that?

Even without Elvis, the Pretty Young Thing, and his second-on-the-team OBP. Hopefully this offense Wanna be Startin’ Something. If Arizona is “it,” they need to Beat It. They need to Get On the Floor and be Working Day and Night to Burn This Disco Out. I want to see a Thriller.

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
2nd round picks have almost no value
they are such crap shoots, add to that you dont even have them for enough years to accumulate bird years to resign them if they are any good
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
multiple 2nd round picks can be turned into a late 1st rounder
or an early second rounder which is probably more valuable because you may get a guy with 1st round talent without having to give a guaranteed contract.
Also they are always traded which means the Mavs may have something up their sleeve on that front

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

i hate innings when we hit the ball hard 3 times yet end up going one two three

Tipping point for the game raises it's ugly head.
The Black Hole + pitcher coming up for Texas meaning we’re not scoring until the 4th inning.

So what they're saying basically ...
is that Byrnes is a giant douche.
Yay, at least that douchebag got hit

Mine was like that for a long time.
Then it quit perfuming, quit wearing sexy little skirts, and became a big, horsefaced, muscled up, tattooed biker bitch and kicked my ass up between my shoulder blades.

I wonder if CJ Wilson would be a better hitter for us
he might actually be

If you ask his dad,
He’ll tell you he’s a better hitter by far than CD.
