  1. Brother and his family were staying with some friends at their place on the water in Barton Creek Lakeside. Just talked to 'em and they're high and dry, but he said his buddy's dock and boat are nowhere to be seen this morning. Some close friends of ours are at their place on the other side of the river in Muleshoe Bend. House is high up on a cliff, so no danger there, but might be stuck for a bit. Also missing a dock.
  2. As they say, today is the last day on which several thousand Americans will have 2 hands/all 10 fingers.
  3. Astros press release on Yordan. Nothing about a ligament.
  4. Getting tired of having 9th inning drama against the worst team ever, but a W's a W.
  5. Hey, a clean inning from Ort. Good to see.
  6. Both nights so far Rockies have had 1 guy we are completely incapable of getting out. Last night it was Beck 5/5 and tonight Estrada is 3/3
  7. Hunter's got the redass, just threw the hardest pitch of his career on that last K.
  8. Just assumed he'd been dead for at least a decade. He's so firmly entrenched in the "only relevant to the 1980's" quadrant of my brain, it might as well have been the latest news on Yakov Smirnoff or Steve Guttenberg.
  9. Bunch of fuckery going on with streaming rights to the show. Sounds like Parker and Stone may end up suing Paramount and Skydance.
  10. Can't wait to see the betting odds with Brown taking the bump tomorrow.
  11. Hader becoming the master of coming in with 2-run lead, surrendering a solo shot, letting at least one more get on base, but striking out the final batter and still getting the save.
  12. I know it stays hot long past Labor Day, but there are usually some short-lived cool fronts in late September and October to provide some relief and the mornings and evenings become a lot more tolerable. And it's football season, dove season....etc. For the next 2 months, it's just punishing heat and humidity 24 hours a day and there ain't much to do beyond go to work, hop in a tepid pool, or watch baseball indoors.
  13. The stretch from yesterday through Labor Day has quickly become my least favorite time of the year in Texas. If I could make it work financially, I'd absolutely love to spend basically the next 10 weeks living out of state somewhere with a more desirable climate.
  14. 50-34. We didn't get our 50th win until July 12th last year, at which point we were 50-44. At no point were we ever 16 games over .500.
  15. LMJ clearly strugling, and Espada leaves him in after HR, HR, BB, 1B, 1B, to face Tucker, allowing a 3-run HR and a follow-up 3B. That's just straight up forfeiting a winnable game where we're hitting the other starter well.
