If I had a birthmark on my face like that, I would get a tattoo directly on top of it that looked like wires and various machine parts, so I could look like a Terminator that had part of its face ripped off instead of a dumb frat guy who tried to light his vodka on fire while he spit it out of his mouth.

Either that or nasty surgery scars on the other side.

 

To Pal's point both Lackey and Teixeira look like they belong in stables.

I would have traded my good looks to be a pitcher in the bigs.

This should be a win.

Lackey's o-face is starting to freak me out.

[Station 13]

This is incredible. 2 midget hitting 3rd.

[Jasonbay44]

Lmao.

[NativeBostonian]

WTF was that?

[Jasonbay44]

WTF was that?

 

The Astros being the Astros

The hill in Houston is stupid

The hill in Houston is stupid

 

it's so stupid, it's cool.

[NativeBostonian]

Oh...f***.....

[Jasonbay44]

That's not good

[jung]

That looked like he got caught in whatever that turf is covering that field.

[BornToRun]

Oh f***. Please be okay.

[MANNYHOF24]

Looks like he will come back in

[Jasonbay44]

Lackey is a warrior.

[BornToRun]

John Lackey: Tough Motherf***er.

[Station 13]

f*** yeah Lackey.

[BornToRun]

All that time spent being a John Lackey apologist have paid off.

Switched over quick to Cards/Dodgers during the commercial break. Did anybody catch Puig jumping on Agones about being slow as molasses around the bases? Puig had a triple wired with an RBI if it was anybody but Agones running. Agones stopped at 3rd and Puig nearly had kittens. Making all kinds of gestures to Agones out on the bases paths and really jumped on him in the dugout. Eventually they both ended up barking at each other big time.

[Station 13]

What a stupid park configuration.

I'm sure the old uptight baseball writers will complain about him showing a guy up and not respecting the game.

Gonzalez looks chubby. He has always been slow.
