Because you've found the Happy Ending thread? Don't blame ya'! Me, I'm still looking, and am starting to get a little miffed I can't find it, although it's obviously here somewhere.

You're not providing the Happy Endings, then? I'm still looking for the Happy Endings. Or have the authorities shut that down already? Not really a crime as long as no money is changing hands (so to speak), is it?

Jose Cruz was a helluva player, for real. As much as I do not enjoy in any way the city of Houston or its surrounding areas (nothing "bad", just not to my liking), if I had to choose between living in Houston and mediocre Vietnamese food, I think I'd make my peace with crowded everything, bad driving, and always being sweaty. A good bowl of pho makes all that stuff disappear in a BIG hurry! In salute to the Phillies clinching the AL East last night, here's some vintage Harry Kalas form when he was working for the Astros. http://www.astrosdaily.com/audio/67mathews.mp3 http://www.astrosdaily.com/audio/67WynnhrKalas.mp3 "That ball is an ASTRO ORBIT!!!" Funny how when you're a kid, all that stuff to make a bad team fun actually works.

There's always a catch.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but I think it all works great in Parker's own orb, but that's why I also qualified it as an uncertain choice for Rollins..."swing" is relative to who and what are being swung, ya' know?

I'm still looking for the Happy Endings thread,,,is this one of those things that is only available to paid members?

Loel Passe, y'all, LOEL PASSE! LOEL PASSE!!!

Astros finally topple the Mets 1-0 in the bottom of the 24th. Relive it here! http://www.astrosdai...io/68inn241.mp3 An inside the park home run for The Superstar Of The Future!!! http://www.astrosdaily.com/audio/72ccitphr.mp3 And one from John Bateman: http://www.astrosdaily.com/audio/63bateman.mp3 How do you like THOSE apples!?!?!? Never a dull moment, but never a 100-loss season, either.

Right now, I'd just like to see them get thier pride back...first time ever to lose 100 games..that's sad, as in that makes me sad. This team was my first baseball love back from 1965 - 1971 or so, and they never lost 100 games. I just went back and looked at their records from those years, and...god did they suck. But it didn't seem like it at the time, it just seemed that they lost more games than they won. There was always some player, or some game, or some....something that made things interesting for a day or two at at a time. I remember one season where there was actually a bit of a race for 8th place going on for a while, that was fun, and there were even the odd streaks where the team would rise up and get hot for a little bit and get up to, like 6th or 7th place for a little bit. That was BIG fun! But they've never lost 100 games until this year. Somewhere in the Baseball Heaven, Turk Farrell & John Bateman are spewing more expletives than usual, Loel Passe is finally at a loss for words, and the Astrodome scoreboard sheds a tear. http://www.texasradi.../loelpasse.html

We can get Happy Endings here now? Traffic is about to go through the roof!

To take a little bit of a left turn (but still stay in the neighborhood), wtf/htf did that first CD issue get so jacked, what with the ghosting and stuff? How does that happen.How does that get allowed?

Everybody plays well by the time you get to that point. Not to knock playing well, I mean, it's a bitch in and of itself, but the people who truly leave a mark, be it for one chorus or one lifetime, do something besides just play well. Which is not to say that any of thee people can't, won't, or haven't already done more than just play well, but me, I'm looking for somebody who can et people to screamin' and shit. Against their will and/or better judgment.Not that that's all there is, but...it feels better to me if it's at least in the air. Somewhere. Then again, it just might not be those kind of times, and these may not be those kind of people. In which case, thank god for baseball. I can still get my involuntary gut reaction on there.

Your dog must have been a Greyhound.

Or don't. It's the chicken's damn fault it tastes so damn good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2xBXBKX-GM Nevertheless, I think the chicken has a beef.

Alley Cat Bent Fabric Twisted Sister

Yep.

I'd think that a more "bass"-y bassist would be called for, though...not really sure who's around that plays with that sound and would have had the mileage to have hung in that situation...I keep thinking William Parker, but his time might be a little "taut" for that grouping...tough question, that's for sure.

Major Bowles Dan Minor Frances Scott Key

Fair enough.
