  1. I just learned my non-sports loving sister, who doesn't even understand baseball is going to Game 7.

    For Free.

     

    I'm stuck at a work Halloween thing, handing out candy, dressed as a god damned hot dog and she is going to Game 7.

    Bryan Caswell appears to be flaming out spectacularly. Just announced that El Real is closing, and currently being  sued by his former partner. Also fired his now ex-wife from Reef earlier this year. Sad.

    El Real employees are saying they haven't been paid or are still owed wages.

     

    Not going well.

  3. Lots of over reactions.  Did someone reference Gerald Green as a difference maker?  Jesus.

    Some of you need to move your basketball posts over to Clutchfans.

    Despite off nights from Harden and Gordon this game was there for the taking.  Milwaukee was hitting everything.

    We went cold in the 4th. Missed a lot of open 3s.

    It's going to happen.

    I was encouraged by McLemore and Chandler.  Sefolosha will be a good defensive addition. I like House starting and bringing EG off the bench.

    Have you ever had a frank discussion with him about this? What has been the effect on your life?

     

    No.

    We don't really have that type of relationship.  He tends to shut down when conversations trend toward serious.

    His drinking has had zero effect on my life. I mean obviously other than worrying about his health/well being.

    It was never really an issue until his diagnosis a couple years ago.  He is a great dad, was a good husband, smartest person I know.  He was a professor and is still dedicated to teaching in some form or fashion today.

    His drinking was never really in excess, at least it was never apparent to me.  

  5. I have an alcoholic father.  

    He's been hospitalized 2 times in the last year. He has cirrhosis.  He's retaining fluid in his abdomen and legs, putting stress on his heart and lungs.  There are other things at play here (depression/anxiety) although he doesn't admit those.

    He's been told he has to quit drinking.

    He hasn't.  I do think he has cut down, not that that matters.

    Treatment has been offered, but as a 79 year old, I can't see him doing anything about it.  We lost my mom in 2010 and he hasn't been the same person and I think he's just ready to check out.

    He's 2500 miles away from me and my sister, so we're pretty helpless with day-to-day checking on him.  He is living with a female companion who is on his ass about it, but again, what can you say to a guy that has been drinking for 60+ years?

    Just kind of venting here...

  6. Lids.

    Tightening them is apparently a foreign concept to my wife. peanut butter, salad dressing, vodka...doesn't matter.  If it's got a screw on lid or cap....forget about it.

    Picked up a bottle of aspirin from the cabinet....doh...100 tablets all over the counter and floor.

    I mean, wtf.

    Blatant incompetence against true competition. It's tough to get fired up when the writing is on the wall. It's fucking torture, but I never stop rooting for those kids giving it their all.

    Maybe we will get another Vince Young in the next 20 years who can will us to victory despite the dipshits in bellmont.

    What writing is that?

    Any realist looked at the schedule and should have had the LSU game and the OU game as potential L's.  This is exactly where I thought we'd be after 6 games.  

    It would have been cool to upset LSU at home.

    I'm disappointed we didn't play better against OU.

    Still having a chance to go 10-2 and play for a conference title is still something.

    Playing in a NY6 Bowl, potentially against another 10 win SEC team is something.

  8. A couple:

    New bath towels or the weird non-absorbent ones that just push the water around as you're drying off.  You all know that one towel that fucking sucks.

    Metro busses driving on Westheimer...particularly in Montrose.  Lanes are too narrow and and those fat bastards drive right down the fucking middle of the 2 lanes.

  9. On Saturday, the family's attorney, Rusty Hardin, said, "The Skaggs family continues to mourn the loss of a beloved son, brother, husband and son-in-law. They greatly appreciate the work that law enforcement is doing, and they are patiently awaiting the results of the investigation."

     

    Thought this was interesting..

  10. I’m not putting this loss on Grienke.  He pitched well enough.

    Cy Young isn’t beating anybody when your offense is as bad as the Stros was yesterday.

     

    Today is a new day.  I’ve got faith in JV tonight and our bats coming back to life.

     

    Breathe orange fire.
