They mentioned a few starts ago that that is a Houston Astros franchise record. Pretty remarkable.

And I posted this response before, and I also don't care:

:h:

I need to bust out the only authentic jersey I ever bought - Jim Thome - for the next game I go to.

Poor, misguided bastards who evidently don't understand the first thing about franchise territory rights, but "ballcks!" to that I say: I've always wanted a real rooting interest in American League baseball, and this here would give it to me. Why let a little thing like it's utter impossibility deter them? Go for it, I say!

hey!

i posted this a month ago and nobody cared

Whoops! If I had seen it a month ago, I would have said something. But I didn't, and wouldn't have re-posted. Sorry!

Anyway, the idea is... um, how to put this politely?... lacking any ties to the reality of this or quite possibly any dimension. There may be dimensions where in alternate realities the Athletics stayed in Philadelphia with the Phillies and somehow both teams survived here, but I'm quite confident that in no reality in any dimension ever do the Athletics move back to Philadelphia from Oakland, at least while the Phillies are still here.

I've been hearing about this idea since J.T. first came up with it and posted about it on Facebook. Me and him were in the same high school class in '95. He's alright. Witty, smart, and yes, very passionate about certain things.

Buy two 2011 Nationals season tickets, get two more free. And if you put your deposit down now, you get tickets to the rest of the 2010 games for free.

Wow...

I think I might watch Cards/Braves tonight, and boo shit that pisses me off, but not cheer at all. I believe such behavior on my part in my living room will discourage the Braves and motivate the Cards.

Old friend Gio Gonzalez has been lights out lately

Speaking of Gio and his game last night, did you guy see this A's fan's ridiculous attempt to catch a HR?

What the hell was he flopping around for? He was the only person in the section. He could have let it bounce, roll, and come to a complete stop, and still have gotten it.

Remember when Phillies games looked like that? The Athletics really got the short end of the stick when they left town.

The Facebook page has over 900 followers, last I checked (myself included). That's enough for a Marlins franchise right there.

The best is when he finally gets the ball and then it rolls back down

I enjoyed the whole damned thing. It looked the way a Brian Regan skit sounds.

On Fugees they said something about him running up the stairs hilariously. Maybe there's a longer clip
