Series Thread: M's @ SF & Houston Before the Break

[AceKeptic]

Well, they certainly proved ME wrong. I know, I heard the Astros were dealing with injuries, and missing key pieces from last year probably hurt them, too, but I've grown to be wary of teams that seem "disadvantaged," since we had been known to go up against pitchers who had been struggling and make them look like they should be in the ASG Tuesday.

Taking three of the four games in Houston is a shock to the area that may be felt for quite some time. Now that they know they can do this, they just gotta find a way to keep things consistent...Do I hear "Mission: Impossible" playing?

Well, now we can all take a breather and let the All-Star Break commence.

If it makes you feel any better, my reaction once getting up there was so visible that the girl I was with asked me if I was okay. I think my response was "Yeah, I'm fine" while looking at the floor with my hand on a wall as if I was bracing for an earthquake lol.

Sad but true, I do the same thing when seeing it on TV or a video.

 

[Anointed One]

What a great way to end the last 9 games heading into the all star break winning 7 of 9 against very good teams on the road... We'll take it... This is what is needed for us to survive in the 2nd half... Just win series, baby!

My phobia is so bad that I can't even watch things on video while sitting in my recliner...lol. It is sad.

It's not a phobia for me, but I do feel kind of like I want to jump whenever I'm up really high whether it's a hotel or a cliffside. Don't know how else to explain it. I think maybe it's because I get a little dizzy or something. It's not because I want to kill myself or anything lol.

I know exactly what you are saying. Part of my fear is that I would do something impulsive like that. At least my brain thinks that. When I go over big bridges as a passenger, I lean away from the door because my brain projects an image of me opening the door. I would never. That stuff is weird as heck.

 

[NWinAZ]

And I am guessing this is why Castillo isn't starting the A.S. Game

 

[ulmax]

710..morosi..

Lilololloll...ok Walter then...lololool

 

[ulmax]

Yeah I learned when I tryed to trade .kerby..
About a week ago in a cardinals trade..
It just won't work...

What will work. Trade .blash and Gonzales..
For someone else's young pitching..like atlanta..
Then trade..the cardinals .for Gorman..

3 team trade...ok then .

 

[wazzu31]

And I am guessing this is why Castillo isn't starting the A.S. Game

Wasn’t he rumored a bunch of times to be the manager but they kept choosing dudes with no experience (except Hargrove).

 

[ulmax]

Yeah I'm almost convinced .Gorman is the guy..but..
Garcia...of nationals nee to be as well..
An over pay for Garcia is no big deal..
For mariners for whatever nationals want..

The only thing..is to find suitable..starting pitching...for the..cardinals...

Heck .I would work with them..to get that done .
Yeah like atlanta..for brash..
