I think I noted it above but this is our first go-around in select and the tournaments are crazy. Every family has a cart full of a ton of shit. A bunch of tarps and boomboxes with pre-game and walk-up music. The parents (98% of whom are morbidly obese and shit-faced by late afternoon as they sell booze which is crazy to me) are nuts -- yelling at the umps, their own players, other players, other parents, their coaches, other coaches. This was our fourth tournament and last weekend I saw my first near fight. A bunch of country rednecks v a bunch of hispanic folks. I don't know what happened (was on the field next to us and wasn't paying attention) but a bunch of the parents (dads and moms too!) got into a shouting shoving match, screaming f-bombs, gonna kick your fucking ass, etc. Rednecks got tossed and promised to be waiting in the parking lot for the other group after the game. I'm not sure if that happened. A bunch of 11 and 12 year olds just standing the whole thing.

How about not be a fucking pussy and just don’t respond. This just in players talk shit in sports. You can let it piss you off and react and try and fight the whole dugout and get kicked out of the game like a dumbass or you can ignore it and focus on trying to help your team win the game. The fact that the coach bitched and moaned about it says everything you need to know about him and his victim complex which the team has clearly adopted. Always some else’s fault - not your dumbass player who doesn’t have the discipline to walk away. He learned it from you, Coach.

We spent a couple of weeks there a few years ago and went to several islands. My favorite were Fologandros, Paros, and Antiparos.

Giovanni's in the chevron on S Lamar and Barton Skyway is our favorite for basic but really good cheap pizza. The owner, Julio, is a great guy. I think he was a chef at Sfuzzi next door to Sullivan's downtown back in the late 90's. I think they have another spot up off 183 in / near Leander.

Fubo fucking sucks. I have YouTube TV and love it. The only reason I have Fubo is to watch the Astros and it is the most broke Dick shitty fucking service ever.

All of those are spot on. We've been only LL up until this spring. I'm glad he's getting reps but this 'select' world is fucking bonkers.

I am left-handed so the initial diagnosis wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been

MIA -- I think you've already decided to head to MDA but here is my story -- I had a growth just above my collar bone on my right side in 05. I was told cancer is a spectrum and, while I didn't have risk of it spreading throughout my body, it was locally aggressive and 'cancer like' and they were concerned about it spreading to my spine and brachial plexus. My doctors in Austin wanted to go in and do very invasive surgery and remove the tumor and a bunch of healthy tissue around it. They told me the nerve damage would likely result it in my not being able to move my limbs on my right side. I went to MDA and they said that was bullshit. One of the top head and neck surgeons in the world (a longhorn) handled my surgery and I had no detrimental effects on my movement. After surgery one of the top radoncs in the world created a radiation plan for me. I did radiation (daily I think) for 6 weeks (at MDA) and then went back monthly, then 3 times a year, then 2 twice a year for the next 4 or 5 years. I have been fine since getting the call clear in 2011 or so.
