  1. That was a freaking great episode this week! one of the best of the entire series, IMO.
  2. I love the show, but the episode last Friday was easily the worst of the series. Add that with S2E1 and the nonsensical Xmas episode, and it's certainly struggling with deciding what it wants to do. WIth only a 3 season show i expected a bit more focus and resolve, and yes, i really just wanted more of season 1. All that said, there has been enough of the season 1 magic in season 2 to keep me engaged.

    I went to the relaunched Spanish village the other day. Goddamn. Soso so disappointing. they changed the salsa and the menu. No more enchiladas a la Taylor, which was their best dish. The salsa used to be epic. Unreal. It totally sucks don’t waste your time
  4. suppoed to see Bush/STP october 3. pretty excited about it.
  5. we hit Bludorn last week for the first time, and found it to be spectacular. I loved the wine list possibly more than any wine list i have seen in quite some time. Lots of great options, and relatively sane prices. All the food was tremendous.

    SPanish Village was said to be closing, and based on the shit they served me the last time i was there i couldn't argue with it. Apparently an ivestor came in, bought it and will keep it going. Anyone been? Re-launched 8/1. I haven't had the courage to try it yet. Back in the day the enchiladas a la taylor was about as good as it could get.
  7. i eat those ghost pepper paquis quite a bit. THey're hot, but great with queso. The freaking hot julios are really good too. had some of those yesterday. At least these are both hot. Like someone said, most of the time they advertise as hot but never really are. Paqui and Julio's deliver.
  8. Nate's turn to heel is a terrible story line as it is so far removed from the character we all loved. He's too soft and humble to make the turn and be believeable. Otherwise it's been great, and the positive vibe is what makes it so great. I did not enjoy the fact that they didn't play out Ted disappointing Sam with brining Jamie back in some face to face with them. Ted wouldn't have handled it the way he did. He would have called sam, and likely the team together to alert them they have decided to bring Jamie back. Roy Kent is one of the all time great characters on tv.
  9. I saw Tom rolling with some young snatches in the Montage Beverly Hills when we were staying there two years ago. Guy was hanging in the bar and all over these two young hot pieces of ass. When they left he had his arms around both. Everyone knew him and nobody seemed to bat an eye he was out and about with young girls who were not Erika.
  10. 17-0 in the if necessary winner take all championship. Shame this LLA cancelled everything beyond state for all groups over 12 due to "covid". We have been playing baseball tournaments since May 2020 with zero covid spreader occurences to my knowledge. They could have at least held the tournament for US team only, and made it a US championship world series. We probably would have made it to the WS, and probably gotten smoked by Hawaii like happens every year.
  11. he also called a strike on a pitch out in our first game. seriously. it happened.
  12. Yep. He’s a stud. We have 2 guys similar. #4 who pitched against them on Monday and our own #9 who closed game 2 tonight. Our 9’is a dominate starter but coach made him a closer for this. He also the kid who took Mendoza off the cf wall in game 1.
  13. due to weather concerns our games have been moved up to 4:00 tomorrow.
  14. great picture. Wish i had known you were there. Obviously you know we scored 22 runs in the first inning and made the kids start batting opposite their dominate side. I actually think that was more disrespectful, but i don't really know how you tell your kids to not try or to not play hard. I also do not know where they get these umpires, but my god theyre awful. Two days in a row we have had pitches against us called strikes that were pitch outs. They don't know balk rules and have strike zones that have very little relation to anything outlined in rule books. Worst than that is they are wildly inconsistent as well.
  15. we played last night/this morning. Games got pushed back an hour to 6:00 and 8:00. The 6:00 featured Kirbyville and New Braunfels, and they started late due to a lightning delay. THe game dragged on forever with really bad baseball being played. We didn't start until after 10:00pm. LLA rules state no inning can start after 12:30am. Luckily we scored 5 in the bottom of the 6th to go up 10-0 and end the game at 12.32. Otherwise we would have had to go back today to play T7. We played Washington County (brehnam). Their starter was an absolute beast. They pulled him early so he could come back again in the championship on Thursday. The guys they brought in after him were fine, but not really special. we hit them all fairly well. If we win tonight we will be off on wednesday and play again on thursday (presumably brehnam again). THursday could potentiallly be a double header if we lose game 1. The Brehnam team is really good.
  16. after two days of rain we played a double header for sectionals yesteday and swept to move on to state which will begin 7/8.
  17. sorry i missed this. We played 1.5 innings Wednesday night and I think we were up maybe 17-0 when the rain came. They were going to ask FC to concede the game, and get the home office in williamsport to approve it. FC originally agreed, then decided they wanted to play it out. we had to return Thursday to play the rest of the game to get it to an official 4 inning game.
  18. starting sectionals tonight if the rain holds off. Unreal how weak the district competition was. Hoping for some better competition now. It was pretty much like playing 10U AA level tournament teams. These guys really need to consider whether playing LL is what they should be doing at this point. I think if our group had been able to get to the WS this year, thanks LLA for cancelling, they would have been done with it. I do think this group had a shot to get there too. Very talented and very very deep with quality pitching.
  19. Doesn't look like blue sobrero site has been updated in 2 years. That is usually somewhat functional.
  20. not sure. I will see if i can find anything. Our district leader isn't exactly on the cutting edge of things. We play first colony tonight in the winners bracket. If we win we will play for the championship Friday night. We won our first game 17-1. We are playing out at Memorial Ashford LL. Their intermediate field is the size of a 12U field. Fence is maybe 200ft. I think we hit 7 or 8 home runs in 3 at bats on Saturday. Ridiculous. DM didn't know the field was that small until the day before the tourney started, wanted to change it, but then one of the coaches objected so they left it. Absurd.
  21. this guy had zero sense of urgency or really any level of engagement or ability to "read the situation". The ender of it was the ice cold cup of coffee they brought me with dessert. I had to get another staff member to take it away. THey then brought be an "americano" which is not at all what i wanted which was simply the daily drip. That just irritated the fuck outta me.
  22. we went to one fifth southern comfort the other night and the service was an epic fucking disaster. guy had zero ambition or sense of urgency. two fucking hours for dinner for two. 25 minutes before we were even greeted. absurd. things went downhill from there.
  23. All star's for out 13U team starts tonight. Such horseshit Little League America cancelled everything past state for every group about 12U. This was the year our group has a legitimate shot at the world series.
