I love a baseball game in person. A baseball game on TV is pretty good but I find that is easy to get distracted away from it.

Looking forward to this World Series.





Do, Or do not. There is no try.

That game last night was like a heavy weight boxing match, both teams throwing punches( home runs) into the 11th inning. Wow, what a game and the 'Stros are coming back to Houston with Mo on their side.

That was some game, wasn’t it?




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Oh hells yeah!!! By the 7th inning, my brother and I were texting each other just about after every pitch!!

Though I haven't put a glove on in YEARS, I enjoyed playing the game. Dad and big brother played as well with better success.

It was a joke some years ago when the Astros sucked.....
What do the Houston Astros have in common with Michael Jackson?

They wear a glove on one hand for no apparent reason.

Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

I was sitting on the deck at hunting camp with a couple of buddies drinking beer and live streaming it on the computer. The deer must think a troop of monkeys moved into the woods from all of the carrying on last night.

Actually, that was most often heard referring to the Dodgers, at least where I was, back then.

It was funny to see Steve Garvey out there yesterday, interviewed in TV, the father of his clubhouse. What a self promoting buffoon!

Yes, and when I hear Vin Scully talk I am 12 years old again. Watching baseball with my Grandpa, a WWII vet, and all is right with the world. There is nothing like baseball.

I like baseball.... probably because I enjoy the cranial sports much more than I do the gladiatorial ones.

Girls softball is also a surprisingly good show. Much faster rate of play.
