  1. Past hour
  2. I think I'm a fairly intelligent guy, but I really can't figure out what the point is of flashing the bag full of cash at his draft party. Especially when the money being flashed is likely more that what his 5th round signing bonus will be. More concerning, I suppose, is what kind of person this will impress. Yeah, yeah... I'll go back to being a grumpy old man.
  3. Texas wants to finish 3rd
  4. Softball is raking vs Kentucky if anyone cares. 11-0 top o the 2nd.
  5. I’m just surprised that one SEC championship is enough to get you elected as senator in Alabama
  6. Would really enjoy a no-doubter today. Flores still batting third is weird right?
  7. Abrue with a gold glove is our black hole.
  8. How many damn double plays has Walker grounded into this past week?
  9. Sloppy track. But I’m guessing the winning horse’s mother was a mudder.
  10. The umps have a huge part in keeping the game rolling. We played at Rocker B earlier this year and they were a well oiled machine. 5 pitches to warm up pitcher, no field warmups between innings. They keep it moving. Then you got 2 college umps that go get on their phones between innings, pitcher has thrown 20 warmups and you have to call to blue to get the game back going. On top of this are the shitty strike zones. Squeezing a 10u pitcher causing a shitload of walks that just drag the game on.
  11. Didn't Reagan goad the Saudi's to do the same thing in the 1980's? Poetic. Time is a flat circle.
  12. Probably should stop dropping the ball. Might have made this a little less ugly. starter got 2 outs. First reliever gets 1. Let’s see what this freshman has.
  13. Skinny bitch knows jack shit about food.
  14. Oh sure, Greg Abbott has a blue ribbon task force working on that right now.
  15. Good, because fuck that guy. Edit: Sorry, /cr, but also in football, also fuck that guy.
  16. I think I know what’s at work here: Latinos helped Trump win a second term but after 100 days in office, support in Texas border counties is eroding EAGLE PASS – President Trump's threatened tariffs, attacks on social programs and draconian immigration policies have unsettled many along the Texas-Mexico border, a region that jolted national voters in decidedly supporting his election. Traditionally Democratic and overwhelmingly Latino, border communities favored Trump in last November's election, giving him 12 of the Texas borderlands' 14 counties, up from just five in 2016. But now, at the psychologically crucial 100-day mark into Trump's 2nd term, that key support is showing cracks. Many worry that, beyond border security, the president's policies do not always align with the complex binational economic reality of cities from Brownsville to El Paso and beyond. Nowhere does that seem truer than here in Eagle Pass, seat of Maverick County, which in recent years became the epicenter of the migrant crush on the border, and state and federal efforts to contain it. On some days in the Fall of 2023, tiny Eagle Pass – population 26,000 – saw as many as 4,000 migrants each day. Residents remember the strangers among them, long lines at international bridges and numbers so big that trade and foot traffic, the lifeline of border communities, were halted so CBP could manage the spike in arrivals… …Texas accounted for $540 billion of the nearly $900 billion in U.S.-Mexico trade clocked last year, according to U.S. trade figures. Mark Jones, a Rice University political scientist, said strong support related to security persists for Trump across Texas and the borderland. Yet Jones notes signs of "erosion of support over more draconian efforts like the deportation of children, U.S. citizens," and deepening worries about Trump's trade policies. Those attitudes are consistent with a flurry of polls last week (April 21-25th) that show Trump's approval ratings sagging on most issues, except for border security. A Fox News poll shows 55% of respondents give him high marks on border security. Yet, only 38%approve of Trump on the economy, followed by just 33% on tariffs. "The more we see the impact on jobs and prices, the more you can expect that erosion to grow, especially along the border," Jones said. "Americans vote with their pocketbooks. Americans will always choose cheaper products over rhetoric."
  17. They should institute the run rule after two innings here.
  18. If Hitler hadn't invaded Russia, we would have lost WW2 and Las Vegas would be the capital of the world.
  19. Derby Day! I've always wanted to see the Kentucky Derby in person.
