  1. These polls are always after a tragic mass shooting, but after order is restored and change can be had in placing legislators that will pass said bill, normally votes stay the same...

     

    Doesn’t matter when. Those politicians eventually have to run for re-election, and they know the 44% that are opposed to the idea will show up in far greater numbers than the other side. If the 49% would just go vote, we might actually be able to do something about the problem.

  2. Damnit! This sumbitch is going to skirt barely north of me. Just getting enough thunder to ensure I have two weimaraners curled against my body making the mattress shake like a coin operated motel bed.

  3. agreed he didn't mean to let it go but if he just takes a couple of seconds to make sure he has it and comes out of the stands a bit slower.  guy caught and jsut wanted to celebrate a bit too quickly.


    And this is why I think it SHOULD be ruled a catch. Whether it was a catch under the exact letter of the rule, i don’t know. But I don’t think that situation is the intent of the rule.

    For the sake of argument, let’s say he didn’t intentionally toss the ball up. He caught it, and he then came off the rail celebrating. His glove clipped the rail and knocked the ball up, but at that point he’d already thought the game had ended in spectacular fashion due to his amazing play. He wasn’t bobbling the ball. He wasn’t still in the act of securing it. But the rule, as applied, essentially means it’s NOT a catch because he celebrated too early. It’s all semantics at this point, and I can see why it would be a nearly impossible, slippery-slope to draw a distinction...but c’mon!
  4. was at the game. DDA was about to go down behind the plate and I saw one event guy and another older guy talking to him and they wouldn't let him go back down.


    Thanks. I was going to post about his disappearance, but I didn’t see the interaction with the event staff. I assumed DDA got busted hitting his hooch stash. In the first three innings, homeboy must’ve left his seat 10 times.
  5. "Little guy" makes him sound cuddly.  It does not look cuddly.


    Well he didn’t take a lunge at my mother when she stepped on that pavestone barefoot, so he wasn’t all that bad. You could cuddle with him now though.
  6. How bout a few insurance (aka fuck you) runs here? Am I being greedy? Spent the afternoon with some fucking hillbilly aggy at a family reunion (wife’s family) that just kept making non sequitur comments about Texas. It was weirder than normal aggy jackassery.

  7. That’s mad dumb. Whatever... do we get home in the finale?


    I’d imagine we would in the next game, being on the winning side of the bracket. I suppose the rule could come back into play if we had to play again on Monday where both teams have a loss.
  8. I just realized aggie is home. 


    Yeah. Some stupid post-season rule in effect. I got over my displeasure when we dropped three on em in the top of the first to set the tone for the rest of the game.
