Triumph makes a comeback
Triumph the insult comic dog made his return to Conan O'Brien's show last night. It's been several years since I've heard from him. We used to gather round the old crappy television and watch Triumph after Triumph until we passed out from laughter. For your enjoyment. Triumph at Bonnaroo. And here's part two!

Astros win a game
Amazing I know. I was actually at the game last night in Dallas vs. the Rangers. It didn't start off so well for us, Brandon Backe gave up solo homeruns in the 1st and 2nd innings. The best news of the night came when he exited the game after the 4th inning...no complaints there. I used to really like Mr Backe. He came to the Astros in a trade with Tampa way back in the early 2000s. The best part about him is that he used to be an outfielder but in the Minors they converted him to pitcher. He's the reverse of Rick Ankiel (Link with hitting and pitcher stats!!!!)! Nowadays he's not good at much of anything, but my friend Marc would probably still want to cuddle with him...Marc's a little on the gay side.
The Astros ended up winning it when Hunter Pence hit a go ahead homerun in the 8th and then he made a nice sliding catch on an Andruw Jones line drive to end the game. I was there with a bunch of Ranger fans, so I got to gloat a bit...not too much since the season series record for us is 1-5, but a little gloating was my right after the victory.
My friend Nathan and I played some Halo yesterday. We won alot, 13-2 to be exact. We didn't really have any terribly terrible games, but we did have one amazingly awesome game. We won 50-10 on Valhalla. That's right, we've got some skills. Disregard the offensive name...it's not my fault.
Picture time for you. Here's one of Molly and I at the Ranger's game decked out in Astros gear. I'm still trying to find one of Molly, Sarah, Yen, and I at the Taste Addison festival from Jack Fm. One of these days!
Fantasy Corner
I'm frustrated with my team now. I think I will just start making some trades to shake it up, if just for amusement purposes.
Question: Who will have a better record at the end of the year, the 30-34 Astros, 36-31 Cardinals, 37-28 Rangers, or the 10-1 Roy Halladay.

Sporadic
I'm a busy man these days, huh? Let me catch you up on what's going on. I've been working alot 49 hours this past week. I got my apartment on Friday and spent the rest of the weekend moving in/setting up. We're getting there, so that's good.
St. Louis was fun though, so that's good. We got to see 2 Cardinal's games, though neither went that well for the home team...or my personal effects. Cardinals first. They never got it going in either game, and this was against Colorado! It was hard to watch. The first game can be blamed on the bullpen. As soon as Wainwright left the new pitchers went 5-6 batters before recording an out....terrible. While all of this was going on in the 7th inning, the meth addict in front of us was going over board. Throughout the whole game she was becoming more and more incoherent. How do I know this? She tried to join us in whatever sort of conversation we were having. Personally, I never had any idea what she was saying. My sisters friends Jessica and Kaity were so disturbed at one point that they had to walk away for our seats. Lucky for them, they came back just in time for the lady to be lying down on the bleachers with her feet in the air...shoeless feet. Tell me that isn't hot. The cou de gras came when she turned around with her eyes glazed over and spit on my friend Marc and I. Yes, she full out spit. I was just happy she didn't throw up because she was definately going on that route. We left to wash our hands in disgust. I heard that while we were gone she was asked to leave and as she was led off by her husband she couldn't handle the stairs and fell down to take a nap. Awesome.
The second game was closer, but the Cardinals still couldn't do it. We did get to see some amazing defense though. There honestly could have been all 5 web gems coming from this game alone. Power was there too. Over the weekend we did get to see many many homeruns. Two or three were right in front of us in the bleachers, so that was nice. The bad part about this game is that after I got my food (chicken stuffed nachos fulled loaded boooooooooooooooooy) and drink I was halfway through my drink when the old man in front of me put his hand almost inside my cup. He was just trying to put his arm around his grandson, I get it, but come on man. What are you going to do? That drinks cost almost 5$...so I drank it. Go ahead, judge me.
Other news from Dallas. Had a men's league softball game on Monday. We won 5-3. We're a team of Juan Pierre's. For the non baseball fan that literally means singles hitters with no pop. Warning track power. Heck not even that much power. We had, I don't know, 8 or 9 hits and only one of them went for extra bases. O well, our defense is solid. I had a highlight reel SportsCenter top 10 play of the night. I was playing third base and the batter hit a foul towards me but it was heading towards the fence. I knew I had to hustle since it was moving kind of fast so I sprinted over while tracking it. I took a second to find the fence and judge the distance. At the last second I leaped onto the fence, reached up, and grabbed the ball as it was about to go over the fence. Duh na na Duh nana. It felt awesome. Wednesday we had a major storm. Tornado strength storm. I was hungry though and I wanted to get some bacon wrapped shrimp from this one restaurant north of town. We literally drove straight into the storm. It was bad...really bad. Could not see more than 30 feet in front of the car. Hydroplaned a few times. Luckily we were driving in my truck which weights over 5000 lbs. so we weren't affected by the wind. By the time we got to the restaurant their power was out and we had to just sit around and ride out the storm. So that was a nice adventure.
Ok guys, I'm real busy so don't expect much out of me. I'll write as much as I can when I can. Sorry for no links today, but at least I wrote one.
Question: How many pounds in a ton?
I think it's 1000, which is why I like to say I have a 5 ton truck. Don't look up the answer until after you answer it!!!!

Illinois
So after a long mostly uneventful trip up from Dallas to Edwardsville we finally arrived. We were greeted with showers of candy and ice cream. Ok that last part isn't true, but it would be cool if it was. I'm up here for my little baby sisters graduation. But that's just the start of the fun! We've got a wonderful weekend of Cardinals games planned as well. The only bad part about that is that they're playing the Rockies. No one likes the Rockies anymore. Does anyone even remember Rocktember? Maybe Roctober? Nope. But it happened. Now we have to live with it. O well, the seats are going to be nice. Friday night we will be experiencing the bleachers and all the bumbling drunks...hopefully. Then Saturday we will be on the first deck down by the right field foul pole. Nathan was kind enough to remind me that it is primo foul ball territory. Get excited!
I know it's been awhile since I've blogged, but I've been busy...very busy. I started my new job which requires waking up at 7am every morning. Combine that with moving out of my apartment and rediscovering my love of Halo and there you have it. I suppose I'll be blogging more the next couple days...but no promises.
Astros Notes
We're on a winning streak! Not only a winning streak, but we also have Miguel Tejada leading the National League in batting average!!! In all honesty I'm more proud of the 3 game winning streak, it'd been so long since we won and now we're on a streak woowoo!
Fantasy Corner
My team still sucks. But the good news is it's close this week, no matter how much Roy Halladay thinks he can single handedly defeat my team. Stupid Roy Halladay.
