Last night during the Rockies game Troy Tulowitzki crushed a bomb…BOMB…to left center field. His blast landed on the railroad tracks in Minute Maid park and every time I see a home run land there I always think of Albert Pujols hitting his moon shot to about the same location against Brad Lidge in the playoffs a few years ago (has it been like six or seven years ago already?).
As Tulo entered the dugout to smiles and high-fives from his teammates I thought I saw a beer land on him, presumably from a fan. I was wrong. I tweeted this about Astros fans in general, and this hurts, I was wrong. I hate being wrong.
Classy #Astros fan dumps beer on Tulo as he enters the dugout. Stay classy Texas.
I was going to make a gif of that awful display of baseball by the Astros last night and wanted to get a picture of the beer being dumped on Tulo. I was wrong. It appears one of Tulo’s teammates actually threw sunflower seeds up in the air as part of the celebration of the HR. I made a gif of that, too.
I configured the gif to pause when the seeds are thrown and I think it was Dexter Fowler throwing the seeds (look for the hand above Jim Tracy’s hands when the gif pauses briefly).
So, sorry Astros fans, you didn’t throw a beer. I hate myself for having to apologize.
As for the Eric Young Jr gif, here it is. Great baseball on display from the Astros.
Either speed does kill or a team that commits four errors in one game will definitely compete for the worst record in baseball – as I predicted earlier this week.

Not too bad…I’m surprised you missed the seeds though I thought it was a decent celebration. Work on the second gif, EY legit juked the crap out of the catcher which was sweet and then a bad baseball team did the rest.
Rosario looked good defensively behind the plate btw, and Cuddyer was nice to see hustling. I’m glad to see my friends dad has time to pitch today…oh wait I mean Jaime Moyer.

Has Root replaced Alana Rizzo with Ugly Betty?
