Yeah i miss the crush and I’m home again, stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away

Able to leap tall deficits in a single bound?

About 90% of me wants to go on strike.  I think it’s ridiculous that we have yet to see Game 2 of the NBA Finals.  Two rest days in between games one and two is just downright preposterous.

Why do I only get one day off between my Friday and Sunday Smear?  I’m doing this for free.  I’m not asking for millions of dollars in salary or endorsements (not yet, anyway).  We do this for the love of the game blog.

So, in lieu of that I’m phoning this one in.  Make your bets against Fourth and Fifty for this post.  I’ve already called my bookies and bet against our team.

Stupid NBA.  Play a game already.

On to your Houston sports updates:

ASTROS – What happened to Roy Oswalt?  Apparently the man is can’t find his mojo this year.  He gave up six runs on nine hits in six innings yesterday, picking up another loss.  If the hope of our team falls into the hands of Wandy Rodriguez I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself.

DYNAMO – At least we have one winner on our hands.  The Dynamo disposed of the Chicago Fire on Friday, one to nil.  Stuart Holden scored the lone goal for Houston on an assist from Kei Kamara.  This takes the unbeaten streak to eight games with six wins and two ties during that time.  You might not like soccer, but everyone loves a winner.

TEXANS – Why not talk about the same thing three days in a row?  It’s my keyboard.  I’m a man!  I’m forty!!  Flip Bondy of the NY Daily News has an article that has references to the Cleveland Indians’ Chief Wahoo being a racist representation, Kendra Wilkinson’s boobies (clothed), and a poor photoshopping job of a possible corporate endorsed jersey…  All great things that shouldn’t be ignored as we continue to discuss the Texans having their practice jerseys sponsored.

ROCKETS – Nothing.  Nada.  Nil.  Unless you want to read a little ditty about Rafer Alston.  Heck, why not, it’s a slow morning.

RICE UNIVERSITY – The Bayou Bengals are headed to the College World Series after handing two straight losses to the Rice Owls.  No pictures of Sad Owls accompany this post which makes it 100% less humorous.
