    Man I was there at the last game in the Dome against the Dodgers in the NLDS in 1999 and saw Walt Weiss snag a sure base hit to end the game.  2017 was an absolute joy and we need that again. 1-4 in World Series just won’t cut it.  I’m here to fight every day and do whatever I can to help the team win this thing.  We still got work to do.  Who’s with me?

    You might have been there in 1999, but it doesn't sound like you remember it too well.

    stonie was a big dude

    This is what makes this game great.  Stonie was not a star player.  He wasn't an all american.  He wasn't even all-SWC.  But you know what?  He made that play.  And he will live forever.

    Any suggestions for a shop in Austin that will (1) service a late 90's era submariner (it runs when you pick it up and start moving it but the dial won't turn the hands to set it) and (2) replace the face (i guess that's the crystal?) on a vintage (60s i think) Air-King (cracked when it got dropped on a hard floor).  thank you  

    Any Rolex AD should be able to help.

    did you take them back to luchesse ?

     

    I had a warranty issue with their store, they cut me gift card in minutes 

    No but i should have.  Got em at Allens Boots but lived in NYC so I couldn't often get back to Austin.  Then inertia took over.  

  5. I have a pair of Tecovas alligator ropers.  They look and feel amazing.  A+

    While i don't hate on Lucchesi, i have had pretty poor experiences, including a bootstrap breaking in half within a couple months of purchase.  Better than my one (and last) experience with Justin's ropers, but still more than enough not to pay the premium for Lucchesi.  

  6. Except for football, OU is just another team.  And in baseball, they are a team with enough history to be worthy of respect.  Aggy is worthy of nothing.  Go Sooners. 

    To be clear, no amount of winning in football will ever bring them out of the primordial ooze of suckiness.  Fuck OU.

  7. Bama has a really good shortstop.  He was fun to watch.  Overall a solid team so the sweep was great, even if it was (according to some) unimpressive, or not SEC-good, or whatever.  

    With all the road games, March should spell out pretty clearly what, if anything, we need to work on for the postseason.
