Yep, west coast game

I was thinking maybe a lot of college football fans. It couldn’t be that the regulars have social lives could it?

Social life? Ugh, I heard it’s overrated.

Me too

I thought the game started an hour later than it did.
I watchded most of the Longhorns -Owls game. – lost interest halfway through the third quarter.

I watched a litee lof the TCU-Oregon State game.

Football games have squeezed the Astros off all of my cable channels. I can’t see it, and I need to work, so I guess I’ll try to work without the television background.

Bud

gets ahead on most hitters but doesn’t manage to put them away. And his pitch count suffers as a result of that too.

Well, at least

he limited the damage. Arizona could have blown the game wide open right here.

Heh 1 pitch out for Bud

He could use about a dozen more of those if he plans on making it deep into the game.

Arizona keeps getting runners to third

It was a lead off triple in the fourth

In the fifth it was a double and a sac fly.

Runner did not score in the fourth.

Hoping for the best in the fifth

Cubs won again

8-2 since Piniela rode off into the sunset.

If Astros don’t pick things up, Cubs may catch them in the standings in a week or so

Their trading activities at the deadline appear to have done some good, in terms of their record. We are seeing two big reasons, in tonight’s pitcher and last night’s pitcher, both of whom came in mid season trades.

by clack on Sep 4, 2010 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

ugh

Had to watch Brad Lidge close out the 9th. Brewers managed to hit 4 HRs off of Halladay. Some poor play at the plate by a couple rookies was the difference. The race for the all important 3rd place remains tight.

wow…I’m getting this play by play through your posts. I have to go run an errand though. I may listen on the radio in the car.

by clack on Sep 4, 2010 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

Gosh - I should be giving more detail

instead of eating greasy nachos.

Carlos Lee’s homerun was a boomer to left field – at least six rows up.

Carlos has been productive tonight – with four RBIs. He knocked in one earlier- maybe the Astros first run of the game

Did anybody see Carlos right before they went to commerical break?

He pretty clearly yelled, “That’s f’n BS!” to somebody right after entering the dugout.

I couldn’t tell who he was saying it to or if they were in or outside the dugout but he seemed to mean it.

I wonder who he was talking to?

by hardcap on Sep 4, 2010 9:42 PM CDT reply actions  

(cont.)

he had just gone down the steps and given a few high fives then turned around and yelled it. He went from all smiles to serious-looking.

by hardcap on Sep 4, 2010 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

Brad Mills walked over and told Carlos

he was through for the night ( I just watched the replay of the inning)

Astros won a game they probably should have lost.

Easy choice for Player of the Game is Carlos Lee

Politics in Sports

Really AZ, why even attempt something that is vaguely political?

by Silentjay on Sep 4, 2010 10:25 PM CDT reply actions  

What did they do?

The only thing I can think of is this was Chicano Night (or something like that). I didn’t see that as political. My guess it is something held every year, like Chicano Night at the Houston Rodeo.
