    Did anyone catch that clip of gomer and Lance MC? Then our telecast referenced an article that gomer wants lance suspended for 10 games. Lol. Hodor is so disliked that his own countrymen talk to him the least when they reach base. They rather chat with choo.

    From what little I've heard of Nitkowski, he's pretty good on the radio/tv.

    I wish late 90's CJ was in the Stros pen right now. Where's Trever Miller when you need him?

    I'm enjoying the crowing of Arlington fans on the facebooks and radio...they win some games against bottom feeding teams and already it went from "this team sucks!" to "we can catch the Astros....they aren't good enough to win 100 games....we have the better team and talent....they will fold....etc". Maybe they are right, but I think they are in for a surprise when they witness the firepower of a fully operational battle-stros lineup.

    I'd like the Stros to beat the everliving**** out of them a few more times, crushing their hopes and dreams, before I start burying them.

    They're still dangerous, if they can tread water or better until Hamels gets back (which has happened so far), get Beltre back and he gives them anything/something, get a piece or 2 for the pen...they're no pushovers.

    The gloating is premature. Seriously doubt they can really contend for the division, but a WC run and them playing us tough after the break is not far-fetched.

    The gloating is not premature in the least. Ive been gloating on how good we are as a team that has the best record in baseball. I have refrained from trash talking about the rangers however. Trash talk would be premature and Ive been waiting for after the next Silver Boot series to kick that off. I have a pretty good feeling about it though.

    The best part about this Astros team is that they aren't scared of ANYBODY in the league.....especially not those sucker-punching, sister-kissing ****bags in Cowtown. Between the Bregman tweet (which I really wish he hadn't apologized for), the McCullers throw behind Napoli, and McCann not taking any **** when the benches cleared, it's obvious we're not cowering to these assholes any longer. We're going to ram that Silver Boot straight up Broadway on our way to claiming the division.

    It's not a race until september. So I don't think the rangers are anywhere near dead but that doesn't mean I can't dislike their players. Gomez out for weeks.

    Their last three series were against two last place teams and a third who is 0.5 game out of last place. Just saying.

    They are dangerous with Belts and Hammels. However, we have the swagger and the guts this time around. I'm with you, nothing less than crushing their souls and shutting up all those die-hard fans since 2010 will do, IMHO

    I don't think there's a Broadway in Dallas, could be wrong, but there's one in SA. That didn't work out so well.

    Really?? I could have sworn it was just west of Douchebag Blvd, across from $30,000 Millionaire Park.

    And yes, from what I understand, the traffic on Broadway in SA apparently only runs in one direction, and that's straight east.

    They have done more than tread water. They have won 9 in a row, albeit vs last place teams (A's, Philly, Padres). Even so, they have gotten back that feeling of success.

    We can take their temperature again in early June.
