  1. Does he have to be in college 2 years due to his age? He doesn’t turn 19 until December of what will now be his 2nd year in college.
  2. “Trying to”.. I think that you can delete “trying to” from your statement.
  3. Word salad to say: ”Thanks Napoleon. You were right about Scherzer.” Don’t mention it Z. 40 & 41 on the road during the regular season. 11 & 0 on the road once Napoleon hopped onboard with full focus. Maybe it wasn’t just my whipping out my big stick, maybe it was my presence on the bandwagon. Strenth[sic] ✊
  4. Pulled out my TOBY HARRAH Little League bat for luck to close it out tonight! Toby Harrah Compliments of the MANOR BAKERS I really think that I had a lot to do with the Rangers finally bringing it home. In 2010 and 2011, I was in Argentina and didn’t have my bat. Sorry I didn’t think ahead. Now… I have had made it up to all Rangers fans past & present. 🍾
  5. We don’t know what you’re talking about. 🙈🙉🙊
  6. Watch it! Some Surly ⚾️ fans don’t want to see this. Even Chile 🇨🇱 agrees with that statement. He’s the Texas Rangers’ answer to Frankie Hejduk.
  7. According to the comments below it, GT’s numbers are heavily inflated due to their computer science online program. Those students don’t pay athletic fees. That said, someone posted that there is a lot of construction for student housing that is currently underway as well.
  8. They could just be doing this for occasional $5K to $10K bonuses. They may have no desire to change schools, but if acting like you are looking around brings tens of thousands of dollars over the course of the semester that you weren’t otherwise going to be given, why not make the boyfriend jealous so that he showers you with riches?
  9. Show me on the schedule where Mad Max has pitched well in the postseason since he has turned 38.
  10. I did not watch, nor even follow the Rangers this year until going to some game in August (maybe?)… I think that it was a Sunday and I know that we won. I learned that the pitch clock had made the game watchable again. We also hit home runs. Other than Seager, I didn’t know one player on the Rangers, but I started paying attention to the standings. …and we started slumping to the point that it looked like we wouldn’t make the playoffs. Then Scherzer got hurt and we started winning again. He may have been our best pitcher, but he brought bad Mets ju-ju to Arlington. ”Bull Durham” taught the casuals that if you think that you are on a streak because of _________, then you are. Now his production in the postseason since turning 38 is plain as day. He didn’t give up a run in 3 innings last night, but that was due to luck and luck in the 2nd. One of my best friends since grade school, who named his boy after a Rangers Baseball Hall of Famer, and who has lived in DC for 2+ decades absolutely loves Scherzer because back when he was 35 he was nails for the Nationals. 🤷‍♂️ I will go on record to say that “I would LOVE for 35 year-old Scherzer to pitch for the Rangers in this World Series.” I just don’t want 39 year-old Scherzer to ever see the mound again this year.
  11. Are you both full blown REGARDED? You are looking at his numbers against primarily AMERICAN League teams who had never seen him. Look at his numbers while pitching primarily against NATIONAL League teams while with the Mets. But the most useful stats are Recent Stats in the Playoffs… because those would be against the best teams HE IS PURE TRASH! Look at the fucking stats!! He may be very knowledgeable about opposing hitters and can help the staff game plan, so he isn’t completely useless, but the Rangers DO NOT WANT HIM PITCHING! The Mets are paying him $30M+ next year NOT to pitch for them. They understand… and Bochy must by now as well.
  12. So was Nolan Ryan and I don’t want his ass pitching for us in this series either. I want to win.
  13. Absolutely a “win”. Scherzer May have been good 4 years ago and before, but he is trash now. Especially again the National League. He is also horrible luck. Before last night’s game, over his last 3 postseason starts (1 last year & 2 this year), he was 0-2 with over a 10.0 ERA. If the D-Backs runner doesn’t miss the stop sign and gets back to 3rd, there is a strong likelihood that Scherzer doesn’t make it out of the 2nd inning. It took an All Star starter level throw from right field and an insane 1-5-3 put out at 1st off an elbow deflection that was barehanded and rifled to first to get 2 of the 3 outs in the inning. That is stuff that couldn’t be put in the same inning in a movie script because it would be deemed beyond believable. The Rangers were great this year, then they traded for Scherzer, and they sucked ass. Then Scherzer got hurt and they started playing well again. Then the playoffs started and they won every game… Until fucking Scherzer came back and they lost because he sucked. Then the ‘Stros got back in the series and the Rangers couldn’t do shit for fuck until they returned to Houston, where the Astros keep their Kryptonite. Again, Scherzer sucks and is Ranger poison. Two miracles saved us in the 2nd inning and an act of god got him out of the game before the 4th so that he couldn’t sabotage our lead. We don’t want Scherzer to pitch again this year. He’s 39 and sucks and we are much better without a gritty 92 mph fastball pitch with no movement on the ball. That’s just “Game Speed Batting Practice Pitcher”-level shit right there.

    As an Argie for just over a decade now, I can say with extreme prejudice and condescension… FUCK LOS CHILENOS!! Los chilenos son fascistas! (Though I’m still not sure why I’m supposed to hate Chile for stealing all of Argentina’s land on the western slopes of the Andes a couple of centuries back.) Fuck Chile 🇨🇱 and their stupid douchey flag!
  15. Good luck with your treatment at MDA. 🤘 Rhule is establishing his culture. Colorado’s only shot at bowl eligibility required them to be Stanford. They didn’t. It’s over.
  16. I would say “UNC wants in on this conversation.”, but they just found it difficult to stop Haynes King. It isn’t because they are going in the wrong direction. USC on the other hand… YIKES! But they did hold Cal to under 50.
  17. I have never heard of her, but she appears to be quite fuckable. Would be very fun to celebrate the win with. We ALL could do what he did. His at bat was simply putrid.
  18. Had two buddies go to see the White Stripes in LA about 20 to 22 years ago. They were on the floor and wanted to get close to see Jack White play the guitar and do his thing. Then the music started… …and they stood mesmerized for an hour and a half as they watched Meg White’s tits slosh around for the entire show.

    It’s time to go. Perhaps Italy.
  20. Regarding: I think that their quality control is getting better, but that just from what I have read on the FB group. I bought some FFs and then sold most of them practically brand new in 2020. Kind of COVID distraction. The new Compound Radius is apparently: *9.5” to 14” *42.03mm 1st fret & 52.20mm 12th fret Stainless steel frets with this said about the neck: Side view. Other posts of note:
  21. FIREFLY makes an SRV So the Firefly people keep adding new options to their Chinese made DTC business and the latest options include: Relic, Stainless Steel Frets, Compound Radius (don’t know range), neck slot truss rod wheel adjuster, and locking tuners. From the website: https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/sg/products/firefly-ffst-classic-relic-model-electric-guitars-sunburst-color …And then these photos are from the Facebook group fan page posted by a guy who bought one. Pretty nice for $200 + shipping (~$30-ish).
  22. Well… these Gibson knockoffs (Stratosonic) are probably going to sell better in Gibson colors. This semi-translucent blue with the grain coming through is an odd look. On the other hand, it seems like half of Fender/Squier’s models include a Lake Placid Blue or a Sonic/Daphne Blue option. Other guitar companies don’t seem to release as many blue options as Fender/Squier.
  23. I like blue. This 12 string is on sale. But I like the blue one. …but it’s not on sale. https://www.fender.com/en-US/squier-electric-guitars/jazzmaster/paranormal-jazzmaster-xii/0377050502.html I’ll pass on the red 12. Still might try for a deal on the blue through Tone Shop’s 15% off everything in the store (new item) deal in October. Only $20 more to get the blue.
