    He has to start warming up 3 hours in advance… 5 hours when it’s colder

    Also, didn't you hear. Graveman takes awhile getting warmed up since he used to be a starter. I'm sure Baker will remind us again in the post game.

    Seriously Graveman didn't pitch yesterday and you put Stanek in the 8th in a 1 run game?

    No way any Astros fan can be comfortable going into the playoffs with Dusty.

    Dusty has his list of relievers and they are all interchangeable outside of the closer. He just uses whichever one is next on the list.

    Seattle switched pitchers in the middle of the 8th inning and we tied the game with nobody out.

    As soon as that run crossed the plate, you make the call to the pen to get Graveman up.

    End of story.

    Whats supposed to be special about after dark, my first time watching one I was hoping that they'd be calling everyone a ********er but so far I don't see a difference

    Great inning by Stanek. Wish we could see that more often.

    It's bacon with less fat than fatty bacon.

    And you got to love his son-n-law coming into a 1 run lead only to let him down. AGAIN.

    What they call doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?

    Yeah.

    You never know which Skynyrd you'll get. If he's got his splitter going he's damn near unhittable. If not, it's walks and fastballs over the plate.

    Sometimes you want more of a pancetta in your recipe, sometime's you want higher quality bacon in your breakfast. Sometimes there's a man, and well, he's the man for his time and place.
