Cubs Lost, outta it now!
Giants Lost, almost done, get the forks ready!
Astros Won, are in the drivers seat now. Win and they're IN as the Wild Card.

I was at a wedding so I didn't see the game(s). Sigh. I will be watching the Texans tomorrow at my dad's. Fooball!!! So I'll just have to check in as I can.

GO STROS. And while I'm at it, GO TEXANS, beat da Raiders! w00p!

Well well well. The Giants won. But it didn't matter, 'cause the Astros WON! Whoo hoo! Talk about momentum... :worship:

AND the Texans bead da Raiders, pretty decently, but not overwhelmingly. Nice picks by Robinson. Carr and his dad can finally get their hair cut because that's two in a row for the Texans! Now that that monkey's off their backs, they can go on an 18 game home winning streak like the Astros, that'd be great...

Man, what a Sunday. Not terrible considering the start of the weekend.

Sidetrack: I am SO looking forward to getting my identity back. Starting with that awful Houston birth certificate office. Ugh. I may take my mother with me so that I can actually get the thing... Everything kinda jumps off from there... Situation Understandably Contains Killer Suction. (Take that filters! )

ANYWAY. Enough about my woes.

Go Astros! Only 11-19 more games to go!

Lalo

for now on. no more mister nice guy!!

GO BRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone see the Late Show with David Letterman last week? With the "Pete Rose" interview? It's got his predictions for the playoffs.

PETE ROSE: “Did I hear my name?� (throwing money) “Put it on the Devil Rays! Put it all on the Devil Rays!�
DAVE: “Hello, Pete.�
PETE ROSE: “What up, b****?�
DAVE: “I’m sorry?�
PETE ROSE: “You my b**** and everyone knows you my b****!�
DAVE: “Okay. Now, Pete, the baseball playoffs are about to begin. Who do you like?�
PETE ROSE: “The Cardinals will be the Red Sox in a 7-game World Series. Game 7 will be a 5-3 victory with Matt Morris getting the win over Pedro Martinez. Jim Edmonds will be the World Series MVP.�
DAVE: “Wow, Pete. That’s a very detailed prediction.�
PETE ROSE: “Let’s just say I got some friends, b****.�
(Shouting to Paul)
“Paul, help a brother out!�
(Paul begins playing House of Pain’s “Jump Around�)
“Jump around, jump around, jump up jump up and get down!�
DAVE: “Excuse me, Pete, what the h*** was that?�
PETE ROSE: “That’s a little something called ‘working it,’ b****.�
(to the audience)
“Are there any dawgs in the house?�
(Pete begins barking like a dog)
DAVE: “Now, Pete, tell me about this ESPN movie, ‘Hustle.’�
PETE ROSE: “It was so exciting getting to play myself in a movie.�
DAVE: “Wait, I thought Ted Sizmo . . . Tom Sizemore played you.�
PETE ROSE: “No. Tom had to bow out because he had some ‘problems with the script.’�
(Pete makes a drinking motion with his hand.)
“Anyway, I brought a clipo. This scene shows the big strip poker game I had the night I beat Ty Cobb’s sorry a**.�
(VT – we see Pete Rose in a t-shirt and boxer shorts at a poker table. Also at the table, 3 young gorgeous scantly clad ladies playing a game of strip poker.
Pete Rose: “Okay, what does everybody have?�
Woman: “Full house.�
Pete Rose: “I got nothing.� (coyly) “I guess I have to take something off.�
Pete Rose looks at each of the ladies. He then reaches to his head and pulls off his wig of hair. He is now totally bald.)
Back live to Dave.
DAVE: “Pete Rose, ladies and gentlemen.
PETE ROSE: (exiting) “$500 says Cat Stevens gets the chair!�


Pretty funny stuff. Had to edit it a bit though. (That would be an awesome world series!!!)

Lalo

I hope the Astros stick it to the Braves, I can't stand them and their announcers on TBS. Especially being a long time Indians fan and Pirates fan.

Lalo

:angry:

Maverick128

Hey I'm rooting for the Braves if it makes you feel any better.









(They're easier for us to beat!! )

Lalo

ouch! that hurt me

you guys are gonna be seeing a lot of this


and some of this


(i couldnt find a good cardinals picture. darn )

Lalo

my braves go up against clemens on 3 days rest tommorow

:GULP!:

Lalo

braves pulled it off in the 9th!

tommorow is game 5. winner takes all!!!

houtex

Man, my 'Stros aren't makin' it easy, are they?

And the Texans lost, but just. Nice game.

Split screen TV was fun today. I guess the Redbirds are going to win (up 6-2 as I type) and that means I can watch the HOU-ATL game after work.

Although, for Lima, I sure hope LA wins. I always liked Lima Time...

GO STROS! Please?... no, I mean, PLEASE!!!

Maverick128

Cards win!!!!!!!!!
I do have to say it was pretty cool that the two teams shook hands afterwards. Very classy. Supposedly it was Larry Walker's idea to do that. All I can figure is that he is from Canada and I know hockey is known for playoff class.
I miss seeing my Blues.

Game 1...





























Victory is Ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10-7
Next game tomorrow.
Same bat-time, same bat-channel.
Bat get it, huh? Ha ha, yeah.

Lalo

:cry:

this has been some of the worst weeks in sports history for me. my top 3 baseball teams (BRAVES, angels, and dodgers) lose in the 1st round and my packers are stinking it up

Lalo

congratulations houtex and maverick128

Maverick128

I'm looking forward to this. You know, in World Series history, we have battled the Yankees 5 times. We won 3 of those 5 series. I'm looking forward to making it 4.


Of course, you never know. Boston could come from behind (if they could get rid of that stupid curse) and beat the Yankees. We are 2-0 against them in the World Series.

I guess Houston could beat the Cards. But, I don't feel like looking up their stats.

Maverick128

Game two to us. Till Saturday. Thank you Albert and Scottie.

Lalo

pujols is a freagin' monster. he might be one of the top 5 players in MLB history by the time he retires

Maverick128

Game three to the Astros. Till tomorrow then. (It was all Clemens for whom I have the utmost respect.)
