Cranking it out since 1979 and at Rice since 2006.... boilerplate: this is my personal twitter and none of this reflects the beliefs of any employer.. Got it?

Turns out, that massive “worst nightmare” banner was a message for the masses, not the visitors.

I musta seen it coming…
This is all predicated on it being night game I guess. Kinda loses the vibe at noon. I see it’s all for the players and recruits, but at a time when they are having to advertise BOGO ticket deals, is it wise to trash what the ticket buyers hold so special?

I was there and back at the Dome a few hours later for the Sunday finale when we played.. 13 more. 35 innings in less than 24 hours
Who here would sit through a 22-inning game just to watch Rafael Ramirez finally win it all? Back when you could just barrel over the catcher.
Let me take you to the payoff.

I remember watching this at the time thinking that Cosell shortchanged the Brewers’ moment.
Don’t think that will happen in this postgame tonight.

Working stats with them for many years when they came to Houston meant I got paid to spend 4 hours hearing them on and off the air---priceless.

So many great tie ins... A Conine in teal launching one more bomb! Congrats on a grand way to walk it off, @THUT14 from on old Fish to another.
You can’t make this up.
@RichWaltz surprises @THUT14 on his final broadcast, and moments later Griffin Conine goes deep so they can call one more home run together. 💙

Give it to the local nine, whenever they’ve invited a replay of the Chronicle’s headstone graphic, they find a way.
In the end, 9 times in 10 years, no matter how many asterisks and footnotes you (and I) want to attach, it’s still something a lot of fan bases would die for.

ESPN talks about the comm issues when a President is in the house and then immediately has their audio become a mess. A flex by someone??

The best thing about the end of the season will be that the state’s two MLB fan bases can ease up on the spirited competition as to who has suffered more. As for the media, I’d say @Evan_P_Grant dropped the mic with the “seeping pus” line.

Whoever loses the least in the West to advance to an early elimination next week should spare us the folly of a clubhouse celebration.

Early in my time with the Astros, I spent a lot of time digging into the old PR files which were created by the club’s first PR man, Bill Giles. Later I had the chance to do a phone interview with him and I took the time to tell him how much I envied him starting a franchise.

Lucas Spence in the lineup consecutive nights makes no sense. He’s a rookie batting .087 in the last 10 games🤨🤨 Is that the best we can do with the season on the line #astros

I was there!
Today in 1986, pitcher Mike Scott throws a no-hitter as @Astros clinch the National League West title.
