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 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

and TAG got on him for watching strike 3.

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.

by Black Francis on Jun 25, 2009 7:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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?

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."

So what they're saying basically ...

is that Byrnes is a giant douche.

The Coors Light in my fridge is becoming

the “tell-tale heart” of my house.

I simply can’t resist the lifted skirt and perfumed inner thigh of a can of beer screaming for me!

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.

yeah

pieces of shit

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."
