  1. I’m okay with this as long the weather sucks from now through the end of the playoffs.
  2. What an absolutely shittastic performance by Greinke. I understood the whole “wait all season, can’t judge the CFM move in July before the annual injury” argument, but we can judge it now. Gave up Chuck and four prospects for the right to pay Greinke ~$3M more per season. Yay. Still, Astros in 4.
  3. Game 1 strategy for whoever we play in the ALDS should be to lose by 20.
  4. I get it. I just think that the gravity of the situation deserved a little more than bureaucratic i-dotting and t-crossing. If my house is on fire, I don’t want my smoke alarm to quietly send an obscure notification to an app buried somewhere on my phone. I want it to wake up the whole block.
  5. It’s the reason I lost all respect for His Holiness Robert Mueller. He hid behind “purview” and “bailiwick” and “I’d refer you to the report” for six hours, fully aware our POTUS had opened himself (and the country) up to blackmail. All because he reportedly didn’t want to get dragged into partisan crossfire. This whistleblower has 100 times the patriotism and courage that Mueller has.
  6. Minor complaint, but the home teams were listed first. What is this, the Premier League? Glad to see more replays than I remembered last year. I still think the random crowd shot-to-replay ratio is too high, but it’s getting better.
  7. When people get in line at 5:15 and can’t see a 6:40 kickoff, there’s a problem. Whether that happened on the students’ side or the alumni’s, there would be complaining about it, and it would be justified. CDC gets plenty of praise, as he should. He needs to be able to handle valid criticism, too.
  8. This. I’m willing to pat the guy on the back for working to improve things after LSU, and he sure seems determined to get it right eventually so I’m sure he will. But I don’t think it’s outrageous for people to upset with what happened tonight.
  9. Has anyone been able to get Audio Sharing to work? It was one of the main features announced back in June, but no one’s been talking about it this week. I can get the “bring another device close to your phone” pop-up, but nothing happens after I do that. Clearly I’m becoming an old.
  10. It’s like the way they started the season 13-2 and have put up a sterling 45-84 since.
  11. Sure, but I don't think that's analogous to the situation we're in now, with a fully developed storm. I'm thinking more about things like this NHC statement just before Harvey made landfall as a major hurricane, while anticipating a similar breakdown in steering currents: I remember seeing it drift northwest towards San Antonio, wondering if the city could withstand low-end Cat 1 wind speeds. But even local meteorologists never even mentioned it as a possibility.
  12. I find it interesting that everyone seemed to have faith in the models during Harvey, and those models largely nailed the stall and retreat back to the Gulf. I was in San Antonio and Harvey was heading straight towards S.A., but no one thought it would actually make it to the city because the models said it wouldn’t. It feels as though there’s a lot less trust in the models this time.
  13. Also amazing to me: Cubs’ last three 100-win seasons were in 2016, 1935, and 1910. Red Sox in 2018, 1946, and 1915. The fact that we have a shot at three in a row is crazy. (Having a hard time finding the Rangers’ last three, or even last one, but will keep looking...)
  14. If you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait five months. It’ll change.
  15. This has been my thought as well. And it wouldn’t just be a shutdown, but a default. I don’t think the administration would want a debt limit breach even in the face of an impeachment, but I’d be happier if it weren’t even an option.
  16. Right. Meanwhile, referring to a sitting Congressman (who also loves his country) as dumb, disloyal, and a total loser - ON INDEPENDENCE DAY - is a terrific look.
  17. Huh. I thought it was prohibitively difficult to change the schedule on such short notice. At least, that’s what Daniels said two years ago...
  18. San Antonio’s force field appears to be engaged and I couldn’t be happier. Don’t need any of that craziness.
  19. With White on deck, windmill was the only option.
