Things to Think About:

 

1. Think About Justin Morneau... He hasn't been in the lineup Sunday or Monday and he isn't in the lineup today. I haven't heard of any injuries so I assume that he ended up in the dog house some how.... Ummm... Yeah I know... Just Joking... Like I tend to do.

 

2. Think about Oswaldo... He's back and batting 7th... Nice to have the big part of our future back in the present.

 

3. Think about Pinto... Start Number Two... Start Number one was alright... Hopefully that continues or escalates into terrific.

 

4. Think about Cosart... This guy was a highly thought of prospect... He wasn't supposed to be as amazing as he has been... He was supposed to be OK. He's been hanging up zero's and he is giving the Houston faithful something to look forward to.

 

5. Think about Shoe Size... My wife and I were discussing the new Iphone yesterday. She made the comment that I'm the type of personality that just wants new gadgets and when I said "That isn't true"... She said "If the Shoe Fits"... To which I replied... "I will get another one just like it".

Who's this Arcia guy?

[Winston Smith]

6. If the shoe fits, best to get one like just it but for the other foot.

[Squirrel]

All right! A shoe thread! I can get into this!

[Winston Smith]

[Squirrel]

Thats what I'm talkin about! Almost better than scantily clad male hotties!

[ashbury]

Who's this Arcia guy?

 

We had one in leftfield who wasn't too good in the field. I hope this RF guy is better.

[ashbury]

Here ya go.

We need a moderator, this is not acceptable on a family thread like this! On second thought the baseball we've been watching is far worse.

[ashbury]

Got a meeting tonight so I will likely be scarce through the rest of this family entertainment.

[Guest USAFChief]

Dozier-zee!

[VATwinsFan]

Dozier-zee!

 

...is dah Bomb.

 

Think he's feeling a little more confident being in the Bigs?

It appears the shoe fits!

 

I will now ban myself.

[VATwinsFan]

Not that I would normally notice such things, but get a load of the blonde in the white blouse sitting in the first row behind home plate off to the first base side.

 

God bless Texas!!

It looks like her Dad was nice enough to bring her to the game tonight. What a treat for her!

Ash! You are a tad on the naughty side, aren't you!

[Squirrel]

Hmm ... I missed a Dozier homerun I see. Oh well ...

[big dog]

I thought that was a nice at-bat by Presley- got locked up on a 3-2 curve on the outside corner, but that was the tenth pitch. The Stro's pitcher is at 53 pitches after 2 innings, and they burned the pen last night.

[Squirrel]

Hmm ... see that Ft. Myers is behind 1-0 in the top of the 9th. Looking forward to tomorrow night's game.

God bless Texas!!

All my ex's live in Texas.

[VATwinsFan]

Der Plouffe-meister!

[Guest USAFChief]

That got out in a hurry.

[Squirrel]

Heh ... my mom has the game playing on her iPad in the other room, and even gameday is ahead of her feed.

[Squirrel]

All my ex's live in Texas.

 

How many are there??

[big dog]

That was a shot. Plouffe must enjoy hitting in this park.

[big dog]

How many are there??

 

A gentleman never tells. Chief will probably dish, though.

[big dog]

Why does anyone pitch Colabello on the outside part of the plate? He makes a good living out there.

[big dog]

I won't post again because four in a row is too many. Oops
