Living central time, I am glad when games aren't starting at 9 and 10 my time. So many late night games. I stay up and watch when I'm not too tired or don't have to be up too early. Speaking of which, with Diamondbacks had gone to the AL West. I miss the Cubs and Cardinals games. Both within 4-5 hours of me. I hate both teams and don't care for the fan bases. I have friends of both fan bases though. Selig and Brewers suck, boooo. D'bags suck too, booo. Go Stros!
Bourn... I had some hopes for him back in the day as a fielder and stealing bases. He's batting .355 in 12 games with 3 stoles bases, 0 caught stealing so far? Diamondbacks getting some solid production from him after signing him to minor league contract. Seeing him bunt for singles and track down balls with lightning speed was fun back in the day.

In ESPN Classic news, Phil Garner in all of his pornstached glory just got an infield hit in game 5 of the '79 World Series.
As long as they're swinging at a hittable strike... why would you hate it? Object of the game is to score runs... if somebody is throwing a pitch in the heart of the zone, simply because its 3-0, and you have runners in scoring position, you should welcome the opportunity to crush it.
These are the Astros ive come to hate this year. Can't run the bases, can't hit with runners on, and bad first inning pitching. Typical. Lets get it together.
