Well we won a series.  Dubon deserves a blowie.

3-0 with Diaz catching, 4, 1, and 0 runs allowed. But only Maldonado knows how to call a game.

St. Maldy the magnificent, patron saint of pre game preparation.  Nobody else can do what he does. It's worth the 175 average you philistine.

25-30 at game 55 on a bullet.

For 1 year, 2 million, how do they pass him up?  That's so fucking cheap for a guy like him. If nothing else, he's a flex guy at DH when injuries inevitably crop up mid-season. 

[formermav43 4,606]

He's 0-3 so far today, so now it wasn't a mistake, current circumstances say.

That's how this works, right?

Who am I to argue with 21 ABs?

Or the fact that isn't how reality works?  Just because he was on the Astros doesn't mean he would be batting the same.  He would have been seeing different pitchers, different situations, different everything.  Could be batting better, could be batting worse who the fuck knows.  This is the type of shit that I hate when people say well Verlander would have been hurt if we resigned him.  No one knows that.  The scenario he got injured would have been totally different so who knows what would have happened.  But I digress.  

[Rimbo 25,934]

You dumbfucks bringing your stupid facts and logic and idiotic "statistical significance" into this can get fucked.

and the 1 was unearned i believe.  he needs to start, we need his bat.

[TejasPedro 1,858]

Not ready to buy my Julks jersey just yet. 
I do like the effort they are all showing right now.

I like the idea of looking like a Dynasty that fucks, rather than a bunch of bitch-assess  ready to roll over and just give it up.

I’ll keep expecting nothing out of young guys.

That is a winning strategy. That way when they produce 2-3 WAR they have already greatly overachieved.

Get with the program, Crane!

Yes there is, just not at certain places in the park

Wednesday game, the ladY next to me walked back with a bottle of wine in the middle of the 8th 

[Wulaw Horn 19,070]

Fucking off days- they are the absolute worst.

[UTPhil2006 3,807]

4 hours after first pitch? So the 15th?

[kevwun 15,788]

Brooke at the right field club level bar that has all the liquor is a hell of a bartender.  After your first order, she'll remember it for the rest of the night and if you have a tab you don't have to wait in line.

I was expecting there to be some antiquated TABC law dating back to before prohibition that outlawed sales after the 7th inning stretch

Especially when they are followed by a day game that ended at ~2pm.

My eyesight is getting worse but I believe you forgot something in your post 

[kevwun 15,788]

She has been at that bar for every game we've sat in that section.  I imagine she makes a killing.

I’d bet not, people are shitty tippers 

[tx 3 putt 76,957]

I don’t understand wanting to slam drinks all game. Just goto a bar, Better drinks, food, scenery. 
 

more than once, I’ve stopped getting up for people needing to constantly leave their seats. I tell them tough shit, go another way

My favorite bartender from that bar for the last 3 seasons was one of the ones that got rotated.  I use Brooke now too, she's awesome.
