Very interesting story.

He was an absolute stud.

Get some teeth knocked out, wear no deodorant, wear a soiled shirt and wipe your mouth with your sleeve.

You'll fit right in.

[petegz28]

he's out

[Al Bundy]

Those 2 runs were huge for the Astros.. Kazmir is usually just as good 2nd and 3rd time through the order.

Funny.. that's what we say about Gators fans.

[Rasputin]

Close only counts in horseshoes and grenaides

[petegz28]

no walk...no walk

[petegz28]

whew..okay whoever said we're hitting kazmir hard...that was hard..we have yet to square him up one

[C3HIEF3S]

Ah, the 2013 Marlins series..
Jose Fernandez shutting us down and Elliot Johnson letting a routine groundball through his legs at third which ended up costing us the series.

[petegz28]

sheesh..all of their hits are dropping in

[Rasputin]

Wouldn't of done that against Perez
