25 observations....
1. Wandy Rodriguez is 9-9 with the Astros.
That's like 16-7 on a real team....
2. Bronson Arroyo was named after Charles Bronson. Still, one of the coolest first names in the Bigs...
3. Matt Holliday- "MOTHerfu**ers!"
4. September call ups are soooo unfair for small market teams. Starting clocks for top prospects without enough time to get a real looksee.
5. Jason Motte- "Hey Holliday, who you callin' a MOTTErfu**er?"
6. Every time a quake hits the east coast, Phil Coke racks up a save.
7. Mike Pelfrey as a closer....oh, those wacky Mets.
8. Ryan Braun has 29 stolen bases while hitting in front of a power hitting left handed hitter.
How many will he have next year when keeping the 1b anchored isn't a thought?
9. I don't miss the weekly faab hype reports.
10. Lindy has won more money than some WCOFF'ers have won/lost.
11. Remember back in school, the prank putting a piece of paper on a friends back that said 'Kick me!'...
Somebody should do that to Mike Pelfrey before he takes the mound that says, 'Steal on me!'
He's allowed 23 thefts in 25 tries.
12. Why do people go to Astro's games?
13. A new trend for men is to have a tattoo of their last name on their manpart.
Jarrod, if you're one of this group...A tip of the hat.
14. Is Joba a mental 'midgy'?
15. The Astros are already mathematically eliminated. Never put off till September what we can do in August.
16. Jorge Posada once 'quitting' after being ninth in a lineup seems to be more ok with being benched regularly.
Somehow, that's more respectful.
17. The Mets only have one player hitting with consistent power, Duda, Duda....
18. The Royals look to have another wonderful team in Omaha next year.
Dayton Moore may be the first AAAA General Manager.
19. Somebody should put a marshmallow in Kevin Youkilis and Jayson Heyward's locker.
According to some, Heyward's career path could follow that of JD Drew's.
20. Pittsburgh has as many wins as the Padres now.
Cleveland, as many as Cincinnati now.
The world is back on its axis once again.
20. Kevin Kouzmanoff signed by the Rockies.
Yeah, the Rox do not have an iota of hope for Ian Stewart.
21. Wandy Rodriguez gives up four in the first inning at Coors today.
It would almost serve the Rockies right if the Astros 'Rios'ed' Wandy and let the Rockies pay that huge salary.
22. Anybody who looks at Bartolo Colon had to know that he could eat innings.
23. Jaime Garcia and Bud Norris are petitioning the Union to shorten the season to four months. They've turned into pumpkins.
24. It amuses me to see MVP articles by writers before the pennant races heat up.
C'mon. It's like calling a horse race at the 3/4 pole.
25. ARod came off the dl just in time to have a problem with his thumb.
Is that his poker dealing thumb?
