    Haha my bad. It may have been in certain threads that were flooded with certain posts that made navigation tough ;)

    I feel like Billy Butler is the most likely candidate in the MLB to have said "hold my beer" before an at bat.

    Billy Butler could chug his beer, crush the can on his forehead, start running in a weaving dazed line, and still steal 2B on Hank Conger.

    Apparently I need to spread some rep around. That got a solid chuckle out of me.

    Big win. One of the biggest this season.

    Games will get bigger. Stros will get better.

    Huge to salvage a game, but losing series won't cut it.

    Certainly not McHughs best outing recently, but ultimately started another winning game.

    Spiers had so many clutch hits. He was the punter @ Clemson, and was also a scratch golfer.

    I think 2nd best thing about that game (Stros winning being the first) was to see a freaking switch pitcher. First time I have seen that. I do wonder why conger batted left. I thought the pitcher had to declare first and then batter choose

    you are right, and he threw side arm, so no idea why he batted lefty, and then batted right handed vs Abad.

    I saw him pitch on a trip to NY when he was still in the minors with Staten Island. Seeing a switch pitcher is a trip.

    Conger has been coming up big lately. I know I was critical of him several games back because he always seemed to not be clutch at the plate in key situations with runners in scoring position. I'm glad to see he has turned it around because we probably would have lost a few more recent games without him coming up big.
