  1. Perfect summary of last night from Lookout Landing.
  2. Very sorry to read.
  3. Oh, I'm good. Believe it or not my far right Pat Robertson/Benny Hinn crazy parents got the vaccine as soon as they could. Lots of mental leaps in their world, but that joke everyone tells about how God says I sent you all this help-->my parents have always liked that joke. Plus, my mother said the vaccine must have been safe because if it wasn't "the media would have blamed it all on Trump." Whatever it takes.
  4. So much for coasting.
  5. Holy crap. Extra innings for this game.
  6. No kidding. Why did JP or Mitch even take the bat off their shoulders?
  7. Things get interesting
  8. That’s a bad start to the 9th for us. Good for Spy.
  9. I really hope the Mariners sign some bats this off season
  10. I was just going to write” Murphy pulls a Torrens.”
  11. Seager’s turn.
  12. Gave up one HR, but otherwise not horrible. He is better when he mixes things up instead of all fastballs all the time.
  13. Now Torrens can’t hit. Can’t catch, can’t hit…
  14. Oregon announces a mask mandate tomorrow, most likely. “The number of hospitalized COVID-19 positive patients has surpassed the previous pandemic high set back in November. This is alarming and an urgent call to action if you have not yet been vaccinated. All three COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective in preventing severe COVID-19 infection leading to hospitalization. Vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 and to keep the virus from spreading among our loved ones, our friends and neighbors and our communities,” said Patrick Allen, Director of Oregon Public Health Authority." The bolded part boggles my fucking mind. I know it has been expressed already, but still. To think we have more infected people now, months after the opportunity to vaccinate happened. I've posted numerous times that I try to be sympathetic to the stupids and only hateful to the politicians/influencers. I think somewhere in this past week I've run out. Reading the stories posted here by Trauma Babe and Bama and then the ones I see from medical personnel on reddit doesn't help. Seeing folks on this board get breakthrough infections and have to worry doesn't help. Read a tweet about a kid who had appendicitis but couldn't get it treated in a timely fashion because of the effect of covid patients on his ER. Kid develops sepsis and now has to be on a special diet/regimen for the rest of his life. Because of anti-vaxxers. That doesn't help either. I'm to the point where I may re-watch that CNN clip of that regretful Dad and yell obscenities at the dude instead of feel bad for him as I previously did. I think I'm done. Fuck each and every single person who can medically get the vaccine but has made a choice not to do so, no matter their reason. In my locale, we're not out of ICU beds, we're just of medical personnel to treat people because they've quit in droves. Maybe I can volunteer to shove a ventillator do-dad down someone's gullet.
  15. we should have beat the Rangers, so we lost. We should have got swept by the Rays, so we took that series. The Yankees, well they were all close games. So yeah, a blow out by the Rangers would follow along at this point.
  16. Same, in multiple ways. After I moved, my company did a round of layoffs that touched my team directly. Were I still in Austin, that would have scared me into delay. Then covid hit. That absolutely would have kept me from moving. Then a few months later while we are all "how bad is the covid thing going to get" I put a bid on a house. Went through incredible fear of "is the market going to crash." That sounds crazy to say now, but at the time everything was impending doom and there were a lot of "now is the worst time to buy a house" missives to be found. That Phil mortgage dude on this board graciously let me vent my fears. Now the house I'm in and location I love would be beyond my ability to afford, which is wild. I tell my wife all the time how I feel like Indiana Jones sliding under some closing concrete wall of death, reaching back to grab his hat. Whew, just in time.
  17. @Biff Tannen how are you doing these days? improved?
  18. it has been said already a million times, but the attitudes towards vaccination for a pandemic has really re-emphasized there is no such thing as 'conservative' anymore in terms of mainstream politics. we obviously know what someone is referring to when they use the term, but it really doesn't apply. because the most conservative thing one could do would be to get a vaccine if you think about it. when anti-vaxxers were the purview of jenny mccarthy and the new agers, the conservatives could laugh and call it part of the 'loony left.' this isn't a substantive point, i guess. just another frustrating thought rolling around in my head.
  19. I remember your handle from way back in the Austin 360 days. Hope your recovery continues to improve, and quickly. Joining you in the rest of your sentiments as well.
  20. Ummm...why did you all not just stick to this? He's on my ignore, so please quit quoting the disingenuous pos. When he started insulting the income of educators was actually where I knew I didn't need him in any feed.
  21. Nice! I wasn’t familiar with them, appreciate the note. Edit: whoa, same singer. Well that makes sense
