Thanks for the article Annie. I can see more clearly why your affection for Bagwell is so strong. I will be rooting for the Astros along with you and the rest of Houston tonight...

I work with your sister "B". I noticed your name in your profile and knew that it sounded familiar, so I asked her. We got to talking about TVCH and she said next time you came over she was going to have you log on and show her around. I'm hoping to get her to join since I think she'd enjoy a lot of areas that we have to offer. Especially the "Caring Place". Sorry I didn't mean to throw you, just haven't seen you online since I talked to her. LOL

Tex - he pitched for the Astros/Astros organization from (if memory serves) around '98 to 2002 (he pitched for the Braves in the middle there somewhere - went right back to the Astros, he hated the Braves). He has been pitching coach for Round Rock Express (they moved from Austin area to Corpus Christi this past year) since 2002 or 2003.

Well, I have had my season tickets since 84...i probably saw him! was he a starter or in the bullpen? did he do any of the kids' camps? my ds went to one in 99, I think. Do you give out his name? The Zephers are now in Round Rock, right?

Spangs, I think she would enjoy it and I think that she'd have a lot to offer to other people here, with her compassion and easy friendship. Ok, I'll back out now and let y'all talk baseball. Spangs, you can always leave a note here if you have any questions, need help with the board, or just want to chat. Jackie

Tex - yep, round Rock is now the triple A team and the double A team moved to Corpus Christi. He pitched from the bullpen for the Astros - I'll pm you about him, I'm sure you did see him pitch one year he had the lowest ERA out of the bullpen.

The final song at my wedding reception was Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss It Goodbye). That was a song the White Sox had as kind of a team song several years ago. Here is the chorus: Na-na na-na-na na na na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye Hey hey-hey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye [repeat many times and fade out] We had kind of a baseball theme. The song we got introduced to (at the reception) was the theme from The Natural. It was actually very cool. Anyways, I just read the real lyrics to the song which is really titled: Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye). I am not sure I would have chosen this song to play at my reception at all if I had known the real words!!! The Sox used the song as in goodbye to the ball (like in homeruns.) I was using the song as in goodbye, the reception is over. Here are the actual words: Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) By: Steam (Gary DeCarlo, Dale Frashuer and Paul Leka) 1969 Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye He'll never love you, the way that I love you 'Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn't make you cry He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love) So dog-gone willin' So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him, wanna see you kiss him) Go on and kiss him goodbye Na na na na, hey hey-hey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye Listen to me now He's never near you to comfort and cheer you When all those sad tears are fallin' baby from your eyes He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love) So dog-gone willin' So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. I wanna see you kiss him) Go on and kiss him goodbye Na-na na-na-na na na na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye Hey hey-hey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye [repeat many times and fade out]

3 to 1 in favor of the White Sox. By the way, not sure if many of you are familiar with Bill Veeck, but I really think he had a great marketing mind. (Some may say foolish) He came up with attractions from the midget batter--Eddie Gadell (who was sure to get walked-how can you throw a strike in such a low strike zone?) to showers in the bleachers to the exploding score board for home runs, cheap beer nights, ladies days, the uniforms with shorts and on and on. I loved him and I loved Harry Caray.

I was not too happy to read this: Wed, Oct. 19, 2005/Miami Herald Sacrifice a way of life for Guillen Something you believe that very few people do? There are any number of safe and careful places Ozzie Guillen could have gone with this answer when asked during spring training. But the manager of the Chicago White Sox doesn't do safe and careful. What fun is that? So Guillen didn't say he believed in everlasting love, second chances or the designated hitter. He settled on this: ''I've got a real weird religion,'' Guillen said. Weird? ''Santeria,'' he said. It's a bloody religion, imported from Africa. Guillen believes in animal sacrifice. Heck, if Chicago fans had known it would work like this, they might have endorsed human sacrifice. You kill animals, Ozzie? ''Back in my country [Venezuela], yes, I do,'' Guillen said. He realized how this sounded and blurted, unsolicited, just in case you didn't like it: ``Too bad.'' You kill with your own hands? ''I pay people to do it,'' Guillen said. What kind of animals? ''Depends on what you need,'' he said. And finally: ''You bleed, I'm there,'' he said. The Yankees, Red Sox, Angels and Indians have been sacrificed, and here stands a triumphant Guillen, wiping the blood off his sword and smiling, always smiling. He doesn't much care what you think. He keeps saying what he thinks, sometimes without thinking. He's loud, emotional, honest and very, very confident. He guesses that there isn't anyone in his sport who has more fun than he does.

Clemens is out of the game. Left in 2nd or 3rd inning. Pulled hamstring? What a game. I love games like this. Lots of hits. Lots of HRs. Lots of scoring. It's middle of the 6th and the score is 4-3 in favor of the White Sox.

I believe!!!! Poor Clemens, blew his hamstring on his 32nd pitch but still tried to stay in the game. I got chills when Bagwell came up to the plate!
