Baseball 2005!!

Why, oh why did we not just walk Pujols...? What in the world were they thinking?! Load up the bases, strike the NEXT guy out...

You know, they were calling Phil Garner a "genius" BEFORE yesterday's game...I can't imagine what they are saying now....?

Anyway, I will not keep rehashing it...*repeat, repeat, repeat* I will look forward to Wednesday's win instead!

[RICHARD]

ps If the Astros win the World Series, I made a deal with Collin that I would get the Astro star tattoo!!

Thank God you aren't a professional wrestling fan!

This year I am rooting for the best team.

The Sox, because they haven't won in 80 some odd years (next year?Cubbies!!!)

The 'stros, cause they never been....

And the Cards, I love a good comeback!


=========================

Baseball is a frigging religion.


THERE IS NOTHING LIKE being inside a stadium when the home team hits a tater like the one that Pujols hit last night.

On the road it's a sudden slap to the head of 40,000 people. Have you ever untied a balloon and let the air escape on your face?

There is something scary about a homerun that absolutely ruins a crowd.
It's flying a kite and watching it crash to the ground. It's one good lick to an ice cream cone and watching the scoop hit a hot July sidewalk.
It's starting the washer and remembering your red sweater is among your white pants.


You can stand there and stare all you want, you can't do a danged thing about it.


If you think that is bad, try walking among the zombies filing out to the parking lot-they came looking for life-Instead they are destroyed by a horsehide ball out of the park, and a white ash bat deep to the heart.


The nice part about baseball is that there always is tomorrow.

And after that is the off season.

go baseball!!!

Baseball god,

Keep the fans out of their seats, their vocal cords moist and the experience that once-in-a-lifetime kick where you can say, "I remember that game!"

Keep the players safe, the umps on the up-and-up and the jalepenos on the nachos zippy.

Please make the great plays, greater, the great players, legendary and
Give us nine innings of great baseball.

amen.

Okay I can finally post on this thread. I've been holding my tongue so as not to jinx'em. Don't have to anymore, because

WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!

Unbelievable!!! I was actually crying that we finally made it. And Jennifer, I got you beat, I've been an Astro fan for 40 years, even through the awful ugly orange rainbow uniform years.

Gotta LOVE those 'Stros!!!!

Good luck to all!

I think that they should play at least one game in those unis.....

And put the Sox in those shorts they wore for one day.

Sell beer for a dollar, peanuts for a quarter a bag and bring back Jimmy Carter.....

[RICHARD]

I think a sweep in Houston is called for.....


And WTF??

Posednick???

Give me a easier name to spell and pronounce for Pete's sake....this is the World Series....

[Lobodeb]

Here you go. I'll gladly provide your broom for the sweep.

LOL on Podsednik. We call him Scotty for the sake of our fingers.

We'll take 'em where we can get 'em.

[RICHARD]

Somewhere a witch is walking.

Go baseball..

What is it with the crappy officiating?

[Lobodeb]

HEHEHEHEHE.

Someone just sent me this picture and I just HAVE to share.

[jennifert9]

I have to say...this Series is breaking my heart....

I want the Astros to win so badly that my heart literally aches everytime the Sox score....I've given myself a horrendous cold from lack of sleep watching these games and I'm just torn up inside....
This will be the second Series in a row that I will NOT be happy for the team that wins...I don't care how long it has been for the Sox, it's been NEVER for the Astros and they have more heart than all the other teams in baseball combined. And more class.
I haven't given up hope yet but if the Sox win, I will not watch any sports or the news for weeks...I just can't bear to see it. It's like watching a crime watching them be happy....

I know, I know, I take my baseball WAY too seriously but it's a passion of mine, right behind Duncan in importance!

Sounds like it was a long night, last night. I didn't watch. I usually do, but this year, there has been too much other stuff going on to get interested.

Sorry, Jennifer, that your Astros are doing better. Seems like the series would be more fun if one team didn't win all the games!

At first, I was a little taken back by this comment. I have to disagree with you. IMHO, the team with more heart is the one that wins. They put it all into the game and get the best resuts.

I won't go on and on about the Sox, because if the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn't appreciate someone rubbing their victory in my face and pouring salt into the wound.

Seems like the series would be more fun if one team didn't win all the games!

If you aren't rooting for the Sox, I can see how this series would be boring.

I think Richard said it best when he said let's have a series where the umpires don't get involved.

Hugs to you Jennifer!

[RICHARD]

A great defensive play followed by a heart breaker home run.


That is baseball in it's purest form.


It's making it to the top of Everest, holding up your flag and then having a gust of wind toss your arse over the side.

Gull says to sacrifice your socks to the Baseball gods, so that some luck will go the 'Stros way tonight.



Chant with me now. NO MORE SOXES! NO MORE SOXES! NO MORE SOXES!
