My kids booed the wave together Friday night. It was beautiful. I was emotional. Decked out in orange and blue...and they booed the wave. God bless those children.
The no hitter became nothing more than a statistical anomaly after he walked 6 batters. Those guys standing on first base looked a lot like guys that hit singles to my eyes. He was at 109 pitches when Porter took him out...which matched his season high pitch count. He said after the game he told Porter he wanted out...that he'd rather have 2 more seasons of baseball than blow out his arm trying for a no-hitter. I will be at today's game...and anything less than a Sharknado affecting the outcome will be disappointing.
I yelled out "F that S" at around the 3rd cycle. Also, I wanted to yell out "F you" to Ronny Cedeño, but there was a kid with his grandpa in the row in front of me. So I felt that "you suck" sufficed. I'm about ready for Jonathan Villar now.
You should come sit near us. Yeah, I have kids, but they've heard a spirited cuss word driven by the love of the Astros on quite a few occasions. They're good with it
I was in the upper deck with my dad to start out, but then we, um.... upgraded to the section next to the Crawford Boxes. Unfortunately, instead of making a beeline for the swath of open seats about halfway down, my dad insisted that we sit down immediately, and as a result, we had a great view of the foul pole.
This series is just brutal. My son is just getting to the point where he understands baseball, but I'm having a hard time making him an Astros fan
down be so down. We're a stud outfielder, a stud 1st baseman, a stud short stop and a couple of stud pitchers away from contending.
It's happening guys. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Astros DFA Pena, Cedeno. Villar recalled.</p>— Brian T.
