    Is this a thing? I remember reading earlier in the season that there may have been some clubhouse tension with Tucker, but never saw anything substantive about it. 

    I can't imagine it is something so big that it is impacting roster moves - right? 

    And if it's that big a deal, why didn't we seriously dangle the guy before the deadline? Not that we ended up having to...just asking. I'm inclined to think there's something else at work here, though I have no idea what.

    Kicking around London for a few days and now caught up on over 400 posts while on a train (Surly first class cabin of course) for a few hours. Some good tidbits and above average entertainment. Advantage aggy.

    I read the whole thread here in the Omaha airport. So there.

    I think the confidence in foster comes from talking to the mom, not the player.  Which might be the most accurate info. 

    Getting foster would be bananas. 

    I have confidence Mutha Hustla and the other Longhorn moms can win her over eventually. At that point, he’ll be low-hanging fruit.

    On base four times yesterday, two homers today but Hinch thought it was a good idea to pull him last night.

    What a managerial brain cramp. Forget “strategy”...sometimes you just might have to leave your best offensive weapon in the game. Especially a game in which you can’t score jack.

    This thread is a nightmare after losses

    I suppose it’s that way throughout the sports world. Basically means the team is good enough that losses suggest slippage in performance...which annoys fans of all contending teams. A series of slippages of course compounds the angst, and we’ve definitely had both this week. 

    Let’s turn it around today.

    45 second conversation at a crosswalk today on East Franklin, across from UNC. Dude saw my Longhorn T, flashed a hook'em, and after cursory "Hi, how are you, where you from?" promptly said: "Stole one from aggy today. God bless Jimbo Fisher, may he pretend to coach forever."

    No idea his Surly handle, but he sure seemed like one of you degenerates.

    Anyway, the next time we need recruiting momentum, I'll have to move further east. Maybe Morrocco.

    Wasn’t I. But had you been on the NW side of Atlanta, it well could have been.

    Classic aggy paradox:

    “Players who go to tu are taking the easy way out.” 

    Then, in the next breath:

    ”I know I should be more worried about who signs with Bama or LSU, but I have to deal with ridicule from sips every day. So obsessing over my dream that tu will be bad is my easy way out.”

    We're gonna be fine.

    But we obviously angered the baseball gods by throwing up 23.

    I suppose every single one of us knew we'd be wishing we could save some of those runs for autumn. I, for one, just didn't realize we'd start needing them within 24 hours. 

    We often play just well enough to win. Right now we're playing just badly enough to lose. I strongly prefer the former.
