  1. Are some of you about to kill yourselves?
  2. The team was doing fine today until Lou decided to be an [expletive].
  3. Why the [expletive] did Lou sub Hill for Soto?
  4. Definitely pull him, but this is Lou so of course he's going back out there. I guess it makes some sense this game based on how much work the bullpen got yesterday.
  5. Nothing Byrd can do about that. Sure there is. You're supposed to freeze initially when a line drive is hit, especially if you're on 2nd or 3rd.
  6. Soriano's only hitting because the Astros apparently don't have or believe scouting reports. He still can't hit anything on the outside He never could. It's silly to act like teams are going to suddenly only pitch him outside when they could have done that all along. Exactly when Soriano is going well he watching outside pitches and waits for the pitch over the plate. He has looked better vs. outside pitches the past 4 days. I think that is one advantage with putting Soriano in the 6th spot, he is not the person you focus on holding down in this lineup as to when he was leadoff if was one of the first people you looked at in the lineup and came up with a game plan to keep him off base. You can't say he's looked better against them in the last three days: they haven't thrown him outside pitches except in that last AB. His best hit this series was in an AB where he saw three straight inside fastballs and then a slider over the middle of the plate. Every team this season just pitched him away and he was hitting .214 when Houston showed up. Oh come one. You drop the .214 like he was on a downward slide when the Astros came to town. The .214 was actually the result of him doing better compared to the first couple of series. Like the Bum pointed out, he went 3 for 7 against the Brewers.
  7. OK, this whole stupid "Soto batting 8th" thing needs to stop now.
  8. Soriano's only hitting because the Astros apparently don't have or believe scouting reports. He still can't hit anything on the outside He never could. It's silly to act like teams are going to suddenly only pitch him outside when they could have done that all along. well...why aren't they? they haven't even tried to pitch him away all series despite the fact that all of the first three teams we faced got him out consistently on the same pitch. normally his hot streaks come when he starts laying off that pitch. he wasn't laying off it at any point so far this season. the astros are beyond dumb for pitching him inside so far in this series. Beats me. In theory, Soriano shouldn't have made it more than a couple years, tops, with the obvious flaws in his approach.
  9. LULZ WHUT
  10. It's early, but I'll take some pleasure in seeing the reeeetarded myth of "Ozzie Ball" dying hard.

  12. Cause he's so gritty and doesn't get paid anything. I just wish Len and Bob would be as hard on him as they are everyone else. Is Len really hard on anyone? He's pretty good at being diplomatic. Bob, on the other hand, has no issues airing his grievances. True, Bob is the one hammering. I just blame Len for what his partner says. Like an old married couple. If they're a married couple then Len is the sexy trophy wife. Oh yeah.
  13. The camera man for the wide OF shots is the blurst. He routinely makes everything look like it's going to be a gapper.

  15. The Byrd is a not a tyrd. ... I got nothin'.
  16. Why don't these stupid shits ever boo Theriot?
  17. I know he got Gibson in the first half, was there another one? Those chase down blocks may be my favorite thing to see LeBron do. Yeah, basically a chase down of Rose. He's just locked on Rose down the length of the court and then he just pounces.
  18. LeBron's block of Rose is so [expletive] epic. He's basically stalking him like a shark the whole time.
  19. That's what you get for starting drinking around the 15th, LaRussa.
  20. Yes, I too share the shock and surprise of McCarver that a player did something so pedestrian. I forgot to add the *green font disclaimer on the post. But yea I think everyone on here gets the idea it was nothing to get excited about. Oh, I got it. I was being sarcastic in regards to McCarver's dumb reaction, not you.
