Astros batters have walked a total of 8 times so far.
Not so far today. So far this year.
8 walks in 90 innings.

They've struck out 64 times.

Wow.

You know, maybe we really won't be the last place team in all of baseball at the end of this season.

There are a ton of songs like that out there for teams all over the league and pro sports, the Mets and Cubs come to mind. This is a former rockstar who put his name to this, that takes it to a whole new level.

It's impossible to figure out what the Astros are doing. They dump guys that are "too expensive" then go out and replace them with lesser talent for more money. If I were Roy Oswalt,I'd ask out.

Felipe Lopez just hit a grand slam against the Mets.

I really feel bad for the O's in a pity sense. I thought they were going to be decent but this is just sad.

Dick Enberg does play-by-play for the Padres. I didn't know that.

Will unethical Stan swoop on Ripkin? Gods knows we need all the decent coaching we can get our hands on.

I've heard of them, but that's about as far as my knowledge of them goes.

I think the nats need a song that goes "Nats Nats Nats nats nats nats Nats Nats nats nats nats... everybody" like the shots song.

Just kidding. That'd be so damn annoying.

Angelos, however, nixed the idea in a separate conversation with Ripken, telling him, according to three sources, that he did not want Ripken to receive credit once the team returned to prominence.

EPIC EPIC FAIL.

When I was a camp counselor many eons ago, our softball team was known as the "Nads." Our cheer was "Go Nads!" I think a similar cheer for the Nationals could bring the same kind of sophomoric chuckles.

Wow. John Cusack is butchering 'take me out to the ballgame' at the Cubs game.

This tradition needs to stop. There was a certain charm to having Harry Carey sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" (a tradition that actually started when Harry was the play-by-play guy for the White Sox see ), but this is ridiculous. This is supposedly done to honor Harry's memory. But its a joke. At least after Harry left the Sox to announce for the Cubs, the White Sox replaced him with a vocal instructor from a local university, and advertised him as the "designated singer." But after a season or two of that, they just went back to singing the song accompanied by the ball park organ. To have clueless, non-singing (and often heavily inebriated) celebrities embarrass themselves at every Cubs home game is shameful.

I thought that the being heavily inebriated was to honor Harry. I didn't realize the singing was also.

This one actually feels like its a cut above, because it includes relevant team references in the lyrics to the song.

How about this one? A polka! Recorded when the White Sox won the pennant in 1959, and brought back in earnest when the Sox won it all in 2005. It was rather humorous having 35,000 people singing this together during a post season rally.

LOL

You guys are hilarious. When Rosenthal presents an unsubstantiated rumor about the Nats, Rosenthal is Satan, untrustworthy, he's slandering our team etc.

However, when he does that about the Woes, you jump on it and use it to disparage Asselos (as if you need to use unsubstantiated rumors for that).

Obvious hypocrites are obvious.
