Man, we are one bat short.  Losing Brantley really fucked us.

Hardly fucked. 37-20 since he went on the IL.

Well, sure.  But we'd be 57-0 if we had him, so...

[henrygandorf 29219]

dusty finally reads surly = profit. 

[kevwun 16269]

Playing with fire today. JJ is the only healthy position player on the bench. It might affect their choice of the other initial September call up.

The Verlander news combined with finding out my wife was pregnant with our first child the next morning is 12 hours that will likely never be topped in my lifetime.

I watched Altuve’s pennant winning homer off Chapman from the hospital room at Texas Women’s while my wife was in labor with our first. He was born the following day so his bday Houston Chronicle has Altuve walking the Yanks off on the front page.

@huge was in town and we all got so piss drunk that we almost ended up in the hospital, so this hits close to home.

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Early and often today boys.

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Trey the Truth !

[WBT 20884]

Dusty listened to me and flipped Mancini and Yuli and we scored in the 1st.

[kevwun 16269]

At least he didn't ground out to 2nd.

[txduck87 1020]

Mancini delivers, yuli with weak pop-up. Check.

[David Dennison 19441]

Not great.

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Frick. Come on Javier.

[Guest]

Javier fulfilling bullpen role already.  We're on the Tampa Bay plan...

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

38 pitch first inning. Hope y'all are ready for a big dose of Maton and Smith today. 

[Gourmand 7778]

waaay too many pitches that inning

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Mancini needs to stay behind Tucker 

[TexArcher 38816]

Have I ever told y'all that I literally love Jose Altuve?

[Guest]

rangers announcers- When does he( Altuve) get a day off?

 

LOLz.

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Way to go Jose

Now they're bragging about how Altuve has never taken Perez deep, literally five minutes after he smacked a 2-run double off the wall.  These guys are total aggy, always finding moral victories to talk about with this franchise that has sucked dongs for a decade.

[UTexasFight 9788]

They should have started this game at 11am

we aren’t going to get in to Anaheim until 1am. thankfully there is the off day

Yeah, I usually try to listen to the opponents' broadcasters one game per series.  This crew is particularly unicorns and lollipops about their team.

To be fair, Raymond got his education on spewing unicorns and lollipops while watching dogshit from us.

And that lucky bullshit was the most amazing double play that Chin Nuts has evarrrrr seeeeeen.  He literally said, "WOW!!"

I'm not even complaining.  It actually adds to the enjoyment of beating the Rangers over and over and over...

If Dubon had bothered to run, it would have been a close play at first.

[TexArcher 38816]

That's a nice piece of hitting right there.

Let's grind a run out of this little 2-out rally.

Or two.  

[TexArcher 38816]

I like this team.  I ask for one run and they give us two.

[WBT 20884]

3 hits for Hensley.  Might as well go for 4.

Be awesome if he got 5 hits on his 3rd major league start after Tuve is still sitting on a blank.

Dolan and Raymond were the worst Astros broadcast tandem in team history. God they were bland, boring, and forgettable. Crane getting rid of them was another winning move on his part. 

[1leggedduck 443]

Bregman screwed. This guy really sucks as an umpire. Maybe he should do something else.

[Storm the Field 5360]

Maton with a nice clean 1-2-3 inning. Nice to see for a change.

[mbtex 684]

These umps suck ass

Dugout getting chippy. Ump just yelled in that direction after ringing up Yuli. Typical umpshow bullshit.

Hey, he's gotta remind those egomaniac athletes that nobody came to see them today.

Not only were they bland and boring but their voices were indistinguishable.
