Bit of a sparse crowd, but Camden looks purty, Natty.

Prob a lot of beach goers this weekend. I'd say it is only 50-60% capacity right now in B1

Heard that this weekend. I loved that guy. Especially when he jacked Pierzinsky (sp?) in a Cubs/Sox brawl.

 

Farnsworth wasn't with the Cubs when AJ was with the Sox. Michael Barrett is the Cub that sucker punched Pierzynski.

 

Farnsworth did have a nasty body spear move I remember him using on Jeremy Affeldt and another dude that played on the Reds.

That's right. Good call.

Michael Barrett... Dark days for sure but Zambrano roughed him up.

Anybody else follow Pat Venditte?  I'm not a pitcher, never have been, but I'm ambidextrous and carry both a left and right hand glove in my bag (I have tennis elbow so depending on my elbow I switch mid-game).

To throw 80 plus is remarkable with both hands.

To throw 80 plus is remarkable with both hands.

And to do so accurately and consistently.

Astros call up top prospect Carlos Correa. He'll be joining the team tomorrow. Look for him to make an instant splash for the Astros.

Going up Monday and Tuesday to see his first 2 MLB games. Can't wait although Sale and Rodon should take care of him

Giants/Mets is getting interesting.

 

Edit: No hitter by Chris Heston, he had 3 HBP's.

Astros had their best 1st half of baseball in a decade. After George Springer landed on the DL, they finished it out the half winning only 2 of 10 in a downward spiral. Hopefully they rest up and come out swinging after the break.

Hamels with the no hitter against the Cubbies. That should help his trade value.

[Hovadipo 56,456]

Yeah that killed the Cubs in 2 ways...

 

1) We got friggin no-hit. K.

2) Hamels just became a lot more expensive. To the Cubs. K.

 

(I can't quote on PC. K.)

And that's what happens when you use Schwarber as a pinch hitter.

Go Cardinals! :)

Cueto to the Royals.

[Naturalhoosier 15,434]

If my Astros don't win it this year, I'm rooting for the Royals.
