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.

  1. Cardinals. Roy Halladay is injured, so that's not going to help his chances.
