You can’t have two 8 game streaks in a row without losing one game in the middle.

You sure can if you win 8 in a row then lose 8 in a row.

After that nuclear dumpster fire of a gamezone yesterday, I’m at a season-long low.

Getting swept by the White Sox would be the equivalent of losing 16 in a row against normal teams

What? Over? Did you say ‘over’? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!..

It ain’t over now, ‘cause when the goin’ gets tough, the tough get goin’. Who’s with me? Let’s go! Come on!

I don’t want any messages saying ‘I’m holding my position.’ We’re not holding a goddamned thing. We’re advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding anything except the enemy’s balls. We’re going to hold him by his balls and we’re going to kick him in the ass; twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all the time. Our plan of operation is to advance and keep on advancing. We’re going to go through the enemy like shit through a tinhorn.

They’re inducting Ken Caminiti into the team HoF.

Bittersweet.

I was at his 1st game, and young me was pretty amazed.

I’m biased. I’m sure fans of other teams look at his story and see only the negatives.

But that dude had a fucking motor in his chest and a got-dang cannon attached to his right shoulder.

His teammates LOVED him.

I hope his family is doing well and love fills their hearts when they think of him.

I was a fan from the minute I saw him on the field.

Can’t remember if his first play was a hit or a diving stop and throw on the line.

He was my favorite Astro as a kid. One season they had “picture day” where a couple hours before the game you could go on the field in the Dome and take pictures with the players. My dad made a beeline for Art Howe just to shake his hand. My brother and I went up to Caminiti, and the three of us just stared at each other awkwardly. Then Cammy gave us a big smile, and said “a great thing about playing ball is you don’t have to talk too much,” grabbed us with both arms and turned us around for my dad to take our picture.
