June 19th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and CWS)

She’ll be saying “Use me, show me jacuzzi.”  I imagine it’s there on the plate. With Arizona State picking off North Carolina (12-5) and Arkansas disposing of Virginia (4-3) the final four of the College World Series has been set.  Games today will start at 1pm (CST) and 7pm (also CST… I’m consistent like that) [...]

Always Bet on Black – 2009 US Open Preview

This week marks the 109th US open.  Once again, it will be played at the famed public course just outside of New York City.  A course so demanding, that amateurs and pros alike are warned about it before they even step on the tee. Bethpage Black will host the Open for the second time in [...]

Worst Rockets Team of the Last Decade

Since we’re talking about teams and lists to fill the summer with some sort of content, I started thinking about all the garbage the Rockets threw up on the court since our championship seasons. This was going to be another “All Time” list, but I can’t evaluate basketball players I never saw, and I moved [...]

June 18 Houston Sports FaF Smear (Douche Special)

John Royal is a Royal Douchebag. You may remember, loyal reader, that back in the day we broke a huge story about JIMMY! and VINNY! and even had it picked up by Deadspin. By “back in the day” I mean last Friday, June 12. It was by far our biggest day ever and we celebrated [...]

June 17th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and CWS)

Always waiting for the rain to stop and praying for the other shoe to drop. We’re working on a delayed deadline.  By “we” I mean “me,” “myself,” “I,” and all that.  It’s been a slow start for me this afternoon.  Kind of like the University of Texas’ slow start yesterday against the Arizona State Sun [...]

Best Astros Team Ever

In honour of the Berkman HR milestone (Tejada and Pudge are rent-a-players and their milestones don’t count in the Astros annals), we got to thinking of what an Astros team made up of the best players at each position would look like. Each player at their apex. This is what we came up with, mostly [...]

June 16th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and Soc’cer?)

I know I can’t slow down, I can’t hold back though you know I wish I could.  Oh, no, there ain’t no rest for the wicked until we close our eyes for good. For what you are about to read, keep in mind that the NBA and NHL playoffs are now over… Yesterday afternoon, while [...]

June 15 Houston Sports FaF Smear

Give the Champs their due… The Los Angeles Lakers won their 15th title last night, proving Rex (this one, not that one) correct. I strongly dislike the Lakers, although not as much as the Jazz or Spurs, but to give the Champs their due, the Lakers turned it on when it mattered and only were [...]

Houston Texans 2009 Salaries and Bonuses

What in the world is going on with the Houston Texans?  They picked up two players from the 0-16 Lions which are now earning more money than most of the team.  They need to start taking care of the players that have already performed for the team.  Dan Orlovsky and Shaun Cody both make more [...]

June 14th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and Milestones)

Clean as a dollar, off in my black on black Impala / The Don Dada, is what they call me overseas The Houston Astros beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 last night helped in part by the milestones of the bigger names on the club.  Miguel Tejada notched his 2,000th hit with a RBI single almost [...]
