I wonder if the 50th anniversary announcement and the theme of celebrating our team’s history is in part a ploy to convince Bud Selig we are a team with a lot of history and should not be the ones to be moving to the AL.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
Anyway, I really like the "Flashback Fridays" idea for home games
During Friday home games next year, the Astros will wear a throwback jersey that represents a certain era in the Houston franchise. Each month will highlight a jersey from a different era, beginning with the Colt .45s uniforms from 1964.
“We are especially excited to wear the old Colt .45s uniforms in April,” promotions and special events coordinator Christie Miller said. “We believe it will be the first time we’ve played in this uniform since 1964.”
One thing that I’d like to see is a complete change of the current uniforms

Bogey had a good pitch to hit for a homer, but insteads hits a hard single up the middle.
Bogey seriously has the strength to hit 30 homers in a year if he could just not be so ground-ball prone.

Towles decides to be cute and throw the ball into CF and let the runner at 3rd score
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
My immediate reaction: “Use your head, Towles.”
That was just a mental lapse by J.R. He had no chance at the runner at 2d, and he has to know that the runner at 3d will take advantage of it.
Ya I thought he should of tried to bait the runner at third instead of going to second.

Sosa hits a double to the RF line, but he misses 1st base bag, but the umpire didn't see it.

You'll enjoy J.R. Towles' error which caused a run to score

Back to back HBP's to Altuve & Martinez loads the bases for Carlos Lee

CARLOS LEE TO TAL'S HILL
3-Run Double!
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
Wow, 3 run double for Lee.
Ball all the way up Tal’s Hill. For a second, I wondered if he would have another triple by Carlos Lee.
Bogey hits everything hard. He just needs to hit the bottom of the ball instead of the top.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
I serously doubt his bat going into next year. He & Schafer are pretty much alike.
I have more faith in CJ’s bat since he is a consistent LD hitter. Just that 3rd base isn’t the defensive position for him.

So I read an interesting article that talked about getting extra strike calls as catchers (linking tomorrow). So now I’m starting scrutinize Towles and his catching ability.

I assume you’re talking about the B-Pro article. I tried to look at that spreadsheet. I thought about posting something on it. It appears that Towles is fairly negative in 2011, and Corporan and Quintero have been very good at pitch framing in 2011.
yup
I was able to open it. Kevin Cash was good as well. Robinson Cancel and Jason Castro were both negative. The thing I took away from though was how the catcher received the ball. Towles doesn’t move his head, but he’s moving his glove hand before stabbing at the ball as it arrives. He also seems to move his entire body after the pitch is made.

No story to this, but I found it to be pretty sad. Just imagine if you were in that imaginary guy's shoes...

Ya, I've run into girls like that
Not necessarily girls I’d want to date, but I’ve definitely had a girl that say that to me that wouldn’t go out with me in a million years…

If the imaginary guy is asking that in the first place that’s the reason why no girls will date him. Confidence is key.

Asking for advice
There’s this girl I like who sits at my lunch table who I sit directly across from every day. How do I get to know her better without making it obvious to her that I like her.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
Just don't worry about making it obvious
Odds are that she knows. I don’t know the situation exactly, but just ask her if she wants to hang out on the weekend and if she says no, just play it off casually.
by Patrick Harrel on Sep 22, 2011 9:27 PM CDT up reply actions
you have a conversation with her.
Girls in high school don’t matter, girls in college don’t matter. The more conversations you have with girls the easier it will get.

She’s a very friendly person and always seemingly happy.

I just heard that the Astros are looking at signing LeBron James to play right field!
It’ll be a two year deal for the minimum, with an out-clause if the NBA lockout stops between now and the end of the contract.

No No No!
Manny Ramirez is coming out of retirement!

I have said this before, but I don’t like the thing that Rodriguez does, pulling the ball out and back into the glove during his windup. It seems like it is sometimes inconsistent and leads to bases on balls.
Doesn't Bud Norris do that as well?
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
I haven’t noticed the multiple movements with Norris. I think the initial movement is changing the grip, which Norris may do. But then F-Rod moves the ball into and out of the glove, and the timing doesn’t seem consistent and distance he moves away from the glove varies. Maybe that is deceptive to the hitter, and is why he does it.
dangerous third out....
Tulowitzki is a few feet away from a Crawford Box grand slam. Luckily this isn’t horseshoes.
CJ!

How the hell did we score 8 runs?
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
Two bases clearing doubles accounted for 6 runs
Carlos Lee
Matt Downs
Not sure how the other two scored except Barmes got an RBI and Carlos Lee got one more to run his total to 4.
