Erstad struck out swinging

[Andy]

Couple more of those, please, Z.

it's america overkill. why should we have to sit through 2 terrible songs before watching something we actually like?

 

If it offends you that much, there's always the channel up/down and mute buttons. :D

 

oh, i changed the channel, make no mistake. for one, i think it's embarassing to watch a grown man sing either of those songs. also, i think it's ridiculous to watch the star-spangled banner on tv. do you stand and put your hand over your heart?

 

i used to stand for nikolai volkov until my parents made me stop. but that soviet national anthem, now THERE is a song that gives you goosebumps.

 

:lol: What if Volkov sung the National Anthem? Would that be better, or just sacrilege to you?

 

i would give mad props to volkov if he could sing those songs, but i don't think he's alive enough to sing them.

 

You may be right on that one Sulley.

[cbbryan]

There you go, Z!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Heres the part where Z needs to walk El Caballo to get to El Roido.

Did you also mimic the Iron Sheik''s "AMERICA, HAWPT-TOO!" line, as well?

 

yes, yes i did. iran #1, russia #1.

 

those are such awesome satirical characters, even though no one really appreciated them at the time.

[inari]

Haha why do teams still do that?

[VanceJergins]

Oh helz yah

[Andy]

DON'T RUN ON FONZIE, BITCHES!!!!!

[Magnetic Curses]

[manbearcub]

Why do they still do that???? He was out by 3 steps.

[cbbryan]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Little Slide Rooter]

Thats how you start a game.

[Omar]

Maybe this will jumpstart Soriano offensively.

[CubmanPi]

YeeeeHAW!!!! Not THAT fast, mouth-breather.

[bhogg]

HOLY JESUS!

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

BHWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAa.

 

 

All I can do is laught my butt off at that throw. In-freaking-credible.

[Outshined_One]

Soriano, I take back a third of the things I've said about you over the past week. :D

[dew1679666265]

What a cannon throw by Soriano! Heck yea!

[Brian]

Now how about a hit Soriano?

 

That sure was beautiful.

[Fro]

[VanceJergins]

Oh man, that was awesome

Nice way to wake everyone up :D Edited April 6, 2008 by wvcbxl

[Little Slide Rooter]

It does appear as though the Astros are the the only team in the NL Central with a solid leadoff hitter.

[Shilzzz]

cubs baseball - so dramatic.
