Jack's Thoughts 

We are having the greatest time.

Ok guys right now I'm so excited, all I can type is LET'S GO ASTROS. Last night at the game that we went to was great. That was the 2nd game of the 4 game battle. They had already won the first game, then they won their game last night and then tonight, WOOOOOOOOOO--HOOOOOOOOO. I was jumping up and down. So as I sit here typing, I'm listening the Shrek versioin of I'm A Believer and trying to contain myself. They play tomorrow to conclude the battle with the Cardinals. Hopefully, they will kick ass.

One last blast

Ok you filthy downloaders

As most of you probably already know, we have one more Astros baseball game to go to. When I say we, I of course mean Pam, Chase, Rush, Justin and myself. It shall be on Friday the 22 of September.

Ok, this is something I'd never thought I'd say, but I really don't want to go. I know, I know, I know. I know what you're thinking...he doesn't want to go to another Astros game with Chase. That's not the problem. I've been 5 times already, of which Chase has been to 3 of them with me. Friday will make 6 games and Chase will have been to 4 of them. The trip just wears me out, and I'm not looking forward to the trip. But will it mean alot to the boys and will they have a good time, yes. So am I going to go...yes.



That's what it will look like from where we are going to be sitting.



That's what the seating chart looks like. We are in section 337.

Tomorrow

Ok kids,

Tomorrow I shall be working on KYKR, KKMY, and Big Dog from 5.30 am to 10 am. I shall be staying later than 10 am as I also have some other things to do.

I will be going to the movies tomorrow to see 'Invincible' with Chase. I'll pick him up about 4.15 and go to the 4.40 show. That way we can watch the movie and still have time to get home so I can watch Stargate Sg-1 and Stargate Atlantis.

That is all,
Jonathan

Guitar Center last night

Hey guys,

Last night me and a friend went to a private party at the new Guitar Center in Beaumont. It opens today but we got invited to a preview party there and we bought probably over $200 worth of stuff. It was coolness on the inside. Just thought I'd pass along the update.

We are still going to an Astros game next Friday.

Jonathan

Ok here it goes

Ok boys and girls of all ages,

Went to the Vincent / Edison football game last night. Vincent won. Yaaaay. Oh, by the way...we also bought Astros tickets. We shall be attending the september 22 game, and we shall be playing the Cardinals of St. Louis.

Oh, guess what...that's right Pam and heer three sons shall be attending with us. The game starts at 6:05 in the pm. This will in fact be the next and last game that we shall be attending this season, due to to the fact that it's the last Friday home game of the regular season, and, as much as I hate to say it, I don't think that the Astros are going to the World Series this season.

We shall be sitting in section 337, row 2, seats 1-5. Indeed we are and there will be fireworks after the game.

So you kids be safe

Jonathan

It's been a while

Alright you guys,

I know it's been a while since my last post. I've been dealing with a few things in life. I've come to the conclusion that life sucks. Anyway, things are better now. Went to the West Brook / Central football game last night. Woo-hoo. West Brook won, and the band kicked ass. Of course I went with Pam, Chase and Rush.

Don't know whats coming up in the next few days, but I'll let you know what's going on just as soon as I know.

Jack

I know it's late

Ok guys,
I know it's late but here is what happened when Candy from Big Dog 106 and I went to Bragg Road on Sunday. NOT A SINGLE THING. We didn't see anything.

Jack

We did it.

Ok children. Last night we went to part of the West Brook Football Game. Mostly to watch the band. Let me just say this, the West Brook Band kicked Ozen's band.

We left during the 3rd quarter and headed out to Bragg Road. It was Pam, Rush, Chase and myself. Pam and Rush were sitting up front while Chase and I sat in the back. Now Bragg Road itself is 8 miles long and when you are going about 5 miles an hour, it takes a long time. Even longer if you stop the car to listen for noises.

We wern't on the road 30 seconds and we saw some kind of lights. It wasn't car head lights from the other way, because you can tell car head lights from a long way away. Within 5 minutes, Chase was in my lap with a blanket over his head. It was cool for me when he put his head on my shoulder. Every time he said something, it sounded like he was going to cry. That's when I whispered into his ear that I loved him and was proud of him for at least coming with us. I nearly started crying when he told me thanks for and inviting and that he loved me too.

And leave it to Chase to break the silence. We were all quiet with the windows down going very slow, and what does Chase do. Fart, in my lap. We all started laughing after we realized what happened. After we made it to the other side of Bragg Road, we went the wrong way to get home and went about at least an hour and a half out of the way before we got headed into the correct direction.

We had a great time, and we are going to go bowling sometime over this Labor Day weekend. And I am going back to Bragg Road tomorrow night with Candy from Big Dog 106 and perhaps Spot from Big Dog as well. I shall make a post about it later.

You kids be safe.
Jonathan

Not Much Today

Not much happened today. Went to work in the morning for a few hours to get some production done. Left about noon and stopped off to pick up few things from the store and then went home. Had to go back to work at 6 PM to run a football game on KLVI and and remote on BIG DOG 106.

Tomorrow, things are going to be more fun. I get to pick up Chase from school and we are going to go to a West Brook football game. After the game we shall make a trip to Bragg Road. I say we, I mean Chase, his mom Pam and his brother shall be attending the festivites with us. I am very excited. I've been looking forward to this all week.

My voice started going out today after all the screaming and yelling after last nights Astros game. And as I look at the score for tonights game, I can see that the Astros won their game against the Brewers 5 - 3. YAAAAAAAAAY.

Also, I found out this week that Stargate will finish the season on SciFi Channel. Yaaaaay. After that, we don't really know what going to be going on, but hey, at least we know that the season will be finished.

You kids have fun,
Jack

Oh My Goodness

All I can say is Oh My Goodness. Well, I was quoting Shirley Temple on that.

Here is what Jose De Jesus Ortiz from the Houston Chronicle

A heady move by Lance Berkman proved crucial as the Astros beat the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth Wednesday night on Aubrey Huff's walk-off groundout to first.

Mike Lamb got the Astros' winning rally started with a one-out single to right field. Craig Biggio followed with a single through the right side, putting runners at the corners. Righthander Jose Capellan, who took over in the eighth after seven stellar innings from Dave Bush, intentionally walked Berkman to load the bases.

Huff followed with a grounder to first. And once first baseman Jeff Cirillo stepped on the first base bag, the force play was off at home. Berkman reacted quickly and returned to first without being tagged for what would have been the third out. Meanwhile, Lamb sprinted home to give the Astros their first five-game winning streak of the season.

Andy Pettitte will take the mound Thursday night trying to complete the three-game sweep against Milwaukee lefthander Doug Davis in the series finale.

By collecting the victory before a crowd of 35,021 at Minute Maid Park, the Astros remain three games behind behind the National League wild card-leading San Diego Padres, who beat Arizona 4-1.

Roger Clemens held the Brewers to three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven scoreless innings. Bush countered with seven scoreless innings, giving up only two hits with four strikeouts.

Bush, who was lifted for pinch hitter Geoff Jenkins in the eighth, threw 51 of his 82 pitches for strikes. Clemens threw 63 of his 103 pitches for strikes.

Cirillo led off the seventh with a bloop single to center field where Willy Taveras almost made the diving catch. With Cirillo in motion, the Brewers avoided the double play when Tony Graffanino followed with a groundout to short. After Bill Hall struck out, Laynce Nix reached safely on a strikeout-wild pitch. Cirillo reached third when the wild pitch rolled toward the left side of the backstop. Kevin Mench loaded the bases with a walk. After getting ahead of the David Bell 0-2, Clemens sent two fastballs up and out of the strike zone. Bell didn't bite. The next fastball was in the zone, but Bell fouled it to the right side.

Clemens challenged with another 2-2 fastball, and Bell fouled that one back. Bell filled the count when he took a splitter inside, which was similar to the pitch that was called for strike two. At 3-2, Clemens came into the zone with a fastball. Bell ripped it for a sinking line drive into the gap in right-center field.

Taveras sprinted in and to his left before making the diving catch to end the inning, drawing a roar from the crowd and the appreciation of his teammates. When Taveras returned to the dugout, Clemens was waiting to greet him by roughing him up back and forth with delight.

Playing with a sore neck a night after he was drilled twice by Brewers starter Tomo Ohka — once in the left side and another in the neck — Taveras starred defensively. With one out in the fourth, he fielded Cirillo's double off the wall in left-center field. Throwing a one-hopper from near the warning track, Taveras nailed Cirillo at third trying to stretch the double into a triple.

In the sixth, he made a tremendous sprint toward the warning track in left-center to catch Bush's line drive. The stakes were much higher when Taveras made the diving catch to end the seventh.

The Brewers threatened again in the eighth when righthander Dan Wheeler took over for Clemens. After striking out Damian Miller to start the inning, Wheeler walked Jenkins. Corey Hart followed with a single. Wheeler escaped by inducing Cirillo's foul pop out to the catcher and Graffanino's fly out to shallow center.

Brad Lidge pitched in and out of trouble in the ninth. Nix hit a one-out single through the right side. Mench followed with a slow roller toward the mound, reaching safely after Lidge committed an error trying to field the ball. Lidge missed the ball with his glove and then couldn't grab it and turned around to throw to first.

Lidge atoned by inducing Bell's fly out to left and Miller's groundout to short, keeping the game scoreless.

Well Spot had a kick ass time. We saw two bats broken and a drunk 2 year old kid.

According to MLB.com:

HOUSTON -- Debate was swirling in the Astros clubhouse Tuesday night minutes after Aubrey Huff plated Mike Lamb in the ninth inning for the game-winning run in a 1-0 victory over the Brewers.
The question Astros players wanted answered: How was Huff's game-winner scored?

"Is it a fielder's choice?" Huff asked.

"It's a fielder's ... something," Lamb replied.

Actually, Huff was credited with a walk-off RBI groundout. No joke. He came to the plate with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth against reliever Jose Capellan and scorched a hard grounder down the first-base line.

Brewers first baseman Jeff Cirillo made the stab, dove toward the bag for the forceout and fired a throw to the plate. Fortunately for the Astros, the out at first eliminated the force at home, where Lamb beat catcher Damian Miller's tag.

Confusing? Just a bit. Let manager Phil Garner, whose club extended its winning streak to a season-high five games, try to explain.

"In case you guys didn't understand that last play, I'll explain it to you," he said. "We've been working on it a lot in Spring Training, and we finally got in a situation to use it tonight."

Funny, Phil. The Astros had to resort to a win in their last at-bat this time because they couldn't get the bats going over the first eight frames against right-hander Dave Bush and Capellan.

The Astros mustered only two hits -- Lance Berkman's second-inning single and Craig Biggio's fourth-inning double -- against Bush. Fortunately, right-hander Roger Clemens was just as good, tossing seven scoreless innings of his own.

Clemens surrendered just three hits, two walks and matched a season high with nine strikeouts. He was also the beneficiary of a few nifty defensive plays, including one by center fielder Willy Taveras in the seventh.

In that inning, the Rocket loaded the bases with two outs and was facing David Bell. Eventually, Clemens forced him to line a pitch to shallow center, where Taveras made a diving catch to keep the game scoreless.

"I really enjoy seeing [Taveras] out there because I know if I get behind the eight ball, I can pretty much challenge somebody," Clemens said. "I know that if they hit it in the air for any period of time, he's going to run it down."

Although Clemens did his part on the mound, the Astros were still left searching for the game's elusive first run. In the ninth, they moved toward it.

Lamb and Biggio singled to right off Capellan with one out, and Berkman was intentionally walked to load the bases for Huff.

And thus, with Berkman, the clubhouse banter continues. On the play, Berkman simply stood around first as Cirillo fielded Huff's liner.

No running, just standing. And that's a no-no for Jeff Bagwell, who visited the club and took part in the debate afterward.

"If he tags your leg and tags the bag, it's a double play," Bagwell told Berkman. "You have to run."

"It's worse if he hits a line drive and I don't get back," Berkman responded.

"He didn't hit a line drive," Bagwell chimed back.

Even Garner poked fun at Berkman with reporters.

"With Berkman standing there confused by the first baseman, you've got to think it's all fun-and-games for Berkman," Garner said. "But he had [Cirillo] confused."

The play was just as confusing for Huff, who only remembers his teammates rushing toward him with high-fives.

"I honestly thought he caught it on a line, touched first and doubled me up," he said. "I didn't know if it bounced, but we'll take it the way we were swinging it tonight."

Lamb didn't know what to think, either, and he can't recall a stranger way to win a game.

"I don't think I've ever seen anything like it," he said. "That was weird."

OK kids, you be safe,
Jack
