Houston 16-9 in June

[Jimy is a misspell]

1 game back of the cubs now. Oswalt managed to dodge all would be assassins outside of the stadium on route to throwing a 5 hit 1 run complete game. :lol:

i'm pretty sure none of us would punch roy oswalt in the mouth if ever given the opportunity

 

You're probably right. But I wouldn't for fear of prosecution, certainly not for fear of Oswalt.

=D>. That's good stuff. I agree, he's a twerp.

[Chocolate Milk]

Oswalt could be my least favorite player in MLB.

[ltb]

BTW, if there is any justice in this world, you guys will help us out and get Roy O voted in, the kid deserves his first allstar gig.

Oh you mean the Oswalt who was the big tough guy when three guys were standing in between him and Barrett? Nah I don't think I will be voting for him. If I ever see him outside or the park though I promise I will punch him in the mouth.

 

very well said.

 

i would never vote for oswalt after that.

[Jimy is a misspell]

That's like saying I wouldn't vote for Wood after he broke Lugo wrist way back when. It was a BS pitch, but that's baseball.

 

Some of you cubs fans remind me of what we call "aggies" down here in Texas. :lol:

I've seen wood hit alot of players, but never have I seen him with a smug grin on his face afterwards like Oswalt did. Roy is 110% punk.

[Jimy is a misspell]

That's old school baseball, you'd love the guy if he did the same thing and was on your team. Nolan Ryan used to do it all the time. Is he a punk?

No, I'd love it if he beat the crap out of the guy, a la Ryan vs. Ventura, or Farnsworth vs. Wilson. Barrett would have beaten Oswat into the ground, Oswalt knew it, and waited to grin until there was a wall of players separating him from Barrett.

 

The man is a punk.

You're just bitter b/c it awoke a sleeping giant. :wink:

The Cubs fell flat on their face, and the Astros leisurely strolled over them. I could have handled it if you just beat us, but choking like that really stung. Only the Cubs kept the Cubs out of the playoffs.

 

That, I am bitter about.

 

Frankly, I liked seeing the Central represent, in a way.

[Jimy is a misspell]

Yeah, the 'stros going 36-10 including 19-1 at home down the stretch had nothing to do with it.

[Mark_R]

Who'da thunk we'd see an Astros fan after his team started playing well? hmmmm.......

[E.J.]

Yeah, I don't remember seeing Jimy a month ago. :wink:

[Jimy is a misspell]

I jumped off the ledge, it just wasn't high enough. :lol:

That's the response I was looking for! Good work!

[J.R.]

Yeah, I don't remember seeing Jimy a month ago. :wink:

 

He never comes around when they're doing the Choke City routine. Me? I'm here to eat crap day in and day out.

JR, you pull no punches.

 

You >>>>>> The Cubs.

Not nearly as much as the Cubs blowing a multi game lead in the last week it didn't. The bottom line is that if the Cubs had played even average ball over that period, you'd have been watching them in the playoffs. Remember the Astros had to go 36-10 to even get in the picture because they sucked so damn bad for most of the season.

 

No offense, but while the whole "sleeping giant" storyline is romantic and all, that 36-10 stretch wouldn't have amounted to a hill of beans unless the Cubs choked, which unfortunately, they did.

 

But if it makes Astros fans happy to cling to the notion that they bulldozed their way over the competition and into the playoffs, they can cling to that notion. It's kind of cute.

[Jimy is a misspell]

It's kind of cute.

 

Kinda like the "lovable losers?" 8)

[indifferent]

XZero, wow, that was arrogant!

 

Both teams had it within their grasp, and while one team did it (with amazing odds I might add), one team did not.

No, that's only cute to non-Cubs fans. They are losing now, and no variation of the word love can describe it, trust me. :cry:

[Jimy is a misspell]

Ah, come on. While it would benefit me greatly (as a 'stros fan), you guys won't keep losing like this.

I am in a really dicey mood today, I have to admit. Watching Dusty orchestrate losing with his unique knack for total ineptitiude has my nerves frayed. My wall of optimism has finally begun to crack, and I have been on the warpath tonight.

 

I am usually pretty amiable, and I apologize if I have come off as beligerant today. I'll be much better when Dusty gets fired.
