[totus44]

41 isn't looking so good.

 

[Messiah717]

conspiracy theories about this game?

They were out too late partying in Houston last night.

 

[totus44]

conspiracy theories about this game?

Our offense was on Malaysian flight 370?

 

[Pastafazul]

make this kid our closer???????

 

[totus44]

make this kid our closer???????

Now that was encouraging.

 

[Pastafazul]

Now that was encouraging.

96 on the black , little 12 to 6 breaker.... could he handle the pressure?

 

[totus44]

So Nunez was DFA'd? Where is the Predicted big deal ?

 

[totus44]

Come on Ells, swipe second

[totus44]

No shutout...now win this!

 

[totus44]

TeX learned to hit against the shift? Holy Shit!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Kelly Johnson at the hot corner! Fuck you Arod!

BEWARE OF PROJECTILE VOMITING...!!!

Kelly's Defense seems to be the only highlight of this sloppy game. At least Ellsbury hit the ball hard and deep, a HR in most parks. Tex tattooed one too, a HR in the Bronx RF porch.......(so much for a game).....Did anyone tell the Team, this is not Spring Training anymore.

If its any solace, the 'Stros, do have the #1 ranked Minor League system. Give them 3 years, and I bet my shit sandwich, they will be in post season play, albeit a wild card.

Local Upper A-Astro's team here in town-(**1), won the California League Championship in 013, and lost in the Championship Series of- 012 and 011. Some fine prospects, the 'Stros do have.

Astros had the #1 Draft Pick the last 3 years. As well they obtained, 3 top 50 picks in those 3 years. So Yes, they are re-tooling, building a mystery, of a contender, perhaps.....

The Ryan's will ensure this Team is a Contender in the years to come. I doubt this year, they will win more than 80 games, more like 70+. (Prove me wrong Nolan)

If, that's any consolation for this shit sandwich...I'm going to DVR the rest of it, so I can go clean up my mess from puking all over the place, with each 89 mph slow-fast ball; Errors galore, what 3 Errors in the 2nd inning.....and bats swatting at air.......beware of projectile hurling....I'm out of here, will fast forward rest of game, if you want to call this a game. Shit, its a early March exhibition, or so it looks like a ST early game....

I have never been an Angels Fan, but I am looking forward to seeing the Angels-Mariners game following this Yanks ST-LL game.

Goodnight Rob, I got my rally cap on!

 

[Pastafazul]

baseball 101, never dive into first base unless you see 1st baseman leave his feet for high throw , if you get a chance look back at that play, beltran runs through base and watch the pitcher look for bag... mite have had a tie, bases juiced and a whole different inning...

 

[Pastafazul]

thats a base hit

 

[totus44]

That's a single?

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Goodnight Rob, I got my rally cap on!

Take care Tom.....keep the barf bag close....I too will put the rally cap on, but its missing its bill....oh shit...CYA Manana..!

 

[totus44]

God I love texas, nice racks everywhere the camera turns.

 

[Pastafazul]

strike zone 2nite, NOT difference in game, but didn't notice any astros complaining

 

[totus44]

A rough first two innings by CC? Nice way to soft pedal it. Even my wife was questioning his velocity. Somebody go buy a case of Cap'n Crunch.

 

[cagedlion]

CC will not be the ACE of Yankee staff by end of season.
NO and, ifs, or buts.
