  1. I’m out. I’ve been in east side club for some time. Tired of shitty product, the stupid “state fair” style drink ticket system etc etc

    I may switch to new end zone club depending on costs but it’s been a shitastic 1 step fwd, 2 steps back decade plus and for what I’m spending I can easily arbitrage the one decent home game a year and still have a good amount of $ leftover. 
     

    I have zero faith Herman pulls it together and rights this ship.

    Occasionally you get 11 year olds that were not drafted by a Majors team. The thing I never cared for was the 11 year old pitcher that could throw heat but had terrible accuracy. It usually terrified the new 9 year olds. One time I lost a 9 year old on my team who was nailed by an older pitcher with no control. The kid was pretty nervous about batting as it was but then after getting hit the way he did, he just bailed in the middle of the game. Never played again.

    Nice thing is that cannot happen (maybe in fall ball) in the spring @ WHLL (or at least I have never seen it happen) for the reason you describe. Risk of injury too high.

    We have our 1st tourney tomorrow for a new team, as it is so early in the season it is a mix of 10u and 11u teams (son playing is on a 10u team) so the team will probably get shellacked. Will be good experience and ultimately help him for LL this season as well. 1st game is super early though which really sucks.

    I'd rather not have a defensive coach who Kevin Sumlin had to to fire because of incompetence, but maybe that's just me.  It's like taking home a girl that Vic passed on.

    to be fair, that could be a skinny chick that is still hot. We have all seen the girl's Vic goes for. Maybe the inverse of your quote would be better for this coaching hire

    The daughter and older son have been into my collection of choose your own adventure books (Star Challenge, Time Machine, et al.) so I made the mistake of introducing them to 7th Continent. They love the bejeezus out of the game, but listen here, fam, we are 9 hours into the first "starter" curse and there is no end in sight.

    I'm starting to rethink my life.

    The kids hope the game will never end and I'm starting to think that it won't.

    The box of tissues is there to soak up my tears.a448dcc76df449e2ee7cf5861e4203e4.jpg

    I just got this. Think I am about a year away from my youngest being able to hang. Also need a place to be able to store it as my wife (no pics) won't be thrilled at letting the game sit out for a year of play.

  5. For any of you in the Austin area (and this may have been mentioned up thread). There is a cool place off of Lamar (Airport cross street roughly) called "Vigilante Pub"

    Tons of gaming tables, a couple of private rooms. Pretty good food and bar. It's a good place to go. Private room rents for $100 for like 5 hours (and is hidden behind a bookcase so has cool feel).

    Good place to play.

  6. The blaming 4Chan for this is just such a bad look. The shitty app you bought called of all things "shadow" (really great name for an election monitoring app) didn't work.

    Had you done any fucking due diligence on it/testing etc you would have known that. Also in this day and age why are we doing a fucking phone bank in 1st place. Text the results in, use GroupMe for fuck's sake. Just stupid, take responsibility vs trying to make it "hackers".

  7. I applaud them for actually intervening vs just filming the attack and seeking their 15 seconds of Youtube infamy. Something fitting about guy hitting woman getting touched up by someone in a pink squirrel outfit.

    My mom is a alcoholic and I’m starting to get resentful. I have a 4 y/o and a 1 y/o and I can’t trust her to watch my kids alone without someone with her. It really sucks that she doesn’t have the relationship with them my MIL has with them. I’m at a loss and don’t know what to do  

    Exact same thing happened with my Dad. 
    he died a couple of years ago but you could not let him alone with kids. Frankly I didn’t want him even around them. One Xmas he gave them like 6 of the same thing, he was drunk when he shopped and had them wrapped. Just shit like that. Was just bad all the way around. 
    He has absolutely been guidepost for the kind of father I refuse to be for my kids. 
    Good luck dude. It sucks.

    I'm sorry, maybe a week from now I look back and think, "What a dumbass!" but I'm calling it now.  This is way worse than is being let on.  Waaay too much weird, unprecedented shit going on for this just to be SARS 2.0 or whatever.  I pray I'm wrong but I believe this is going to get really, really ugly.

    Not sure if it’ll get really, really ugly but I will say I absolutely wouldn’t trust shit the Chinese are saying in terms of numbers/fatalities etc

  10. We won’t let our boys play Pee Wee. There’s just no reason for it. My 7th grader played tackle for first time this season and loved it. He’s a big kid (5’8” at 12) and just loved being able to block/tackle etc. 

    Not sure how far he’ll want to go but it for him was a really good experience and one he truly enjoyed. 

  11. It’s all theatre. The Democratic Party knew there was no shot. They just wanted it on record. 
     

    Now it will be and the sham of senate trial may help flip some seats. 
     

    Challenge is the Rs don’t think Trump did anything wrong or outside the pale of day to day politics. 
     

    November isn’t that long away, if the Democratic Party can rally around a candidate vs poisoning their own well there is a good chance at knocking Trump out. Especially if economic growth slows due to China virus etc.
