Wednesday, April 12th at 9:15, FSSW

Where:  Pac Bell Park.  Home of McCovey Cove, garlic fries and BalcoBrand Nachos, which tops a generous pile of tortilla chips with a mixture of queso, the Clear, the Cream, and concentrated testosterone.  Interesting enough, in addition to causing fewer gastrointestinal problems than Sheriff Blaylock’s, it also packs on 15 pounds of muscle.  Tastes better too.

Sunday, April 30th at 12:15, FSSW

Where:      The Great American Shitstain.  Smokestacks, shitty chili and venereal disease.  What a worthless town.  Queen City my ass.

I’ve told this story before but it bears repeating. I was in Dayton on business and it so happened that I could adjust my schedule to see Opening Day back in 1998.  Well, parking was non-existent and I didn’t feel like walking over the bridge from Kentucky so I blew off the game, found a BW3 near the University of Cincinnati and watched the game from the bar.  Or at least tried to.  I ordered some wings and a margarita and none of the three bar tenders there new how to make a fucking margarita.  They didn’t even have a recipe book they could use.  Fucking worthless town.

The Basics

What:        Astros/Dodgers 3-Game series

When:      Monday, April 24th at 7:05, KNWS-51
Tuesday, April 25th at 7:05, FSSW
Wednesday, April 26th at 7:05, FSSW

Where:      MMPUS, where I’ll be attending my first game of the year on Monday night.  My 4 year old daughter will be making her first trip of the year as well.  Over/under on how many innings we?ll stay before she starts getting cranky because she’s tired = 6.  We’ll have our normal ballpark dinner - a footlong dog cut in half, she gets ketchup while I get mustard, onions, relish and jalapenos.  A large Coke and we’ll get a frozen lemonade around the third inning.  About $15 for all that.

Pirates at Astros - Bebe’ le Mange

Posted by Craig in Series Previews

By Craig Elliott

The Astros took two of three from the Brewers, thanks in large part to Morgan Ensberg’s HUGE FUCKING STICK. Adam Everett has turned into an RBI machine, which is not to be confused with the vending machine at first.

And the Astros will need all those bats if the goddamn bullpen keeps imitating Yvette on “Take Your Base Night.”That’s where the first 10,000 opposing players get their choice of four free sacks.

Meanwhile, the Pirates just lost a series to the Co-Ards and are already six games back in the division. However, the Wilson Sisters have been a couple of bright spots for the Roots this month. Nancy has moved to first to replace Sean Casey and got Player of the Week honors. Still has that mangy-ass beard, though. Ann already has four errors at shortstop, but four homers as well. Apparently she’s not as nimble as she once was, but still has the pop.

When:
Friday, April 21, 7:05 p.m. CDT - FSN
Saturday, April 22, 6:05 p.m. CDT - KNWS
Sunday, April 23, 1:05 p.m. CDT - FSN

MLB Extra Innings - Friday’s and Sunday’s games will be on the Fox Southwest feed. Pierogies for everyone on the Pittsburgh broadcast Saturday.

Where: MMPUS

Saturday’s giveaway is a nice mousepad with the schedule on it. John “Say My Name, Bitch” Lopez can use it to stay awake while he’s surfing that other Astros site. You know, the one where you wouldn’t be allowed to say “fuckwit Chronicle inbreeders.” For example.
