Falling asleep Thursday night wasn’t easy. It wasn’t just the excitement of watching Craig Biggio put the finishing touches on his Hall of Fame credentials by becoming the 27th member of the 3,000-hit circle. It was also a hint of sadness that the sun is now almost at the horizon, setting on the greatest era in Houston baseball history.

Short(ish) recap of a long game
I thought I’d have about 2,000 words in me for this one, but work’s not letting up, so we’re going to come in a hair under this week. The poop snowball is really rolling downhill now, gaining velocity and mass, as the Good Guys got swept out of Milwaukee in 11 innings yesterday. (more…)
Astros at Brewers – We Now Return to Overhand Baseball
Monday, June 25th, 2007By Craig Elliott
Miller Park
The Astros somehow managed to pull out a win Sunday in Arlington, despite a monumental bullpen meltdown. The Rangers’ radio announcers helpfully pointed out that the Houston bullpen has now blown more games than it’s saved. Anyway, the Rangers still put the Silver Boot up the Astros’ ass to win the pretend rivalry for this year. I’m sure someone somewhere keeps up with how the “rivalry” stands overall, but fuck if I know. Or care. At least interleague play is done for another year and we can get back to real baseball.
The Brewers are turning the Central into a sausage-fest this year and will probably win the division. Not because they’re very good … they just aren’t bad. Which unfortunately makes them better than anyone else in the division. Exhibit A: the bumble-fuck Cubs are four games under .500 and are still in second place.
The Brewers have won 9 of their last 11, and Prince Fielder is leading the league in homers (26) and RBI (61). Ben Sheets and Jeff Suppan both have eight wins.

So I’ve bitched and moaned about how I never get to see any Astros games because the fucking Rangers are always on Fox Sports. I figured at least I’d get to see a few games this series, but no, I only got the Friday ass-kicking. I’d have a better chance of seeing an Astro if he got demoted to the minors or joined the rodeo circuit. (more…)

Flat. Apathetic. Tedious.
