    I could have sworn that Matt Vasgersian was trying to make us excited about a Justin Verlander/Bartolo Colon pitching matchup just now.

    Given the way our offense has looked recently, I'm sure as hell excited about it.

    eta: See? We all knew Arlington was in South Oklahoma and espn agrees. They just described the Silver Boot as an "interstate rivalry".

    Weak crowd tonight, smallest of the season. Pretty sure they’re not all going to the Rockets game.

    EDIT: the phone has been fixed

    When Bartolo looks like an ace you just know the Astros hitters are slumping. So much damn flailing, where is the patience and discipline we saw in the playoffs??

    Yep. Will be a really bad sign if we can't hit Bartolo.

    Verlander's demeanor oozes confidence, ala Clemens.

    And he's pretty good too, ala Clemens.

    That's gotta be about the 10th smash they've hit at Beltre this series.

    JV has thrown 90+ pitches in 24 consecutive starts.

    Loser couldn't throw ONE 80-pitch shutout.

    Don't forget Bartolo's corpulence. Vasgersian sounds like my weird LA co-workers.
