  1. I've said it before, but so far we're looking like the mirror image of the '23 Stros. Will probably end up with something pretty close to that squad's 90-72 record, but go about it in a completely opposite fashion. Winning low-scoring games, 1-run decisions, extra innings...etc. This squad is on pace to hit ~50 fewer HR and drive in ~175 fewer runs than that team, but not crazy to think they'll finish with a better record.
  2. Same. Annual weekday game that I do every year with a buddy from work and a client/friend of ours. Pregame lunch and drinks, game, then cocktails and cigars at the Petroleum Club. I'm gonna feel like shit on Friday!
  3. We might actually start winning some games if we get back a couple of our starters and our superstar DH from the DL.
  4. Fuck yo offense, PHI. Sidenote, caught this great screenshot during the Caratini HR replay of a kid dogging his buddy wearing a Phillies jersey.
  5. Houdini'd his way out of a mess of his own creation.
  6. Redbird BBQ just announced they're opening up a burger spot next door.
  7. Sidenote: Does Trump think the DOE has federally-owned rigs sitting around or something?
  8. Waiting around to see what futures do at 5 pm this evening:
  9. Sousa! Cue the 1890's military marches!
  10. 100% that's a game we lose last year. Glad I'm not going to bed pissed!
  11. If we can't score a run here we don't deserve to win.
  12. Seems like there's not much middle ground with this offense. We either score ~2 (losing or winning by 1) or score 9+.
  13. Welp fuck. 2 runs ain't gonna do it.
  14. Scary inning that could have gone horrible, but it's the Halos.
  15. https://www.rigzone.com/news/european_commission_proposes_law_ending_russian_gas_oil_imports_by_2027-20-jun-2025-180894-article/
  16. $77.50 WTI/$4.10 nat gas this morning. Unrealistic, wishful thinking, but that's pretty close to my ideal price ranges ($80/$4.50) where I wish it was possible to set things on cruise control for a year or two.
  17. Astros offense when there's 2 outs and nobody on base:
  18. Utterly botched DP followed by highlight DP.
  19. We gotta do better when we have bases juiced and no outs. Seems like 1 run is our standard.
  20. That LF gonna have nightmares the rest of his life where he keeps slipping and can't reach something really important.
  21. Friday is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Longest day of the year and the official start of Astronomical Summer (6/20-9/22). Not complaining about this weekend forecast at all if it holds.
  22. Japanese conglomerates gonna own a large chunk of East TX gas production. Tokyo Gas/TGNR bought Rockcliff and a bunch of CVX assets. Osaka Gas bought Sabine. Now Mitsubishi going after Aethon.
  23. I'll tip my cap where it's due. There were a few glorious hours yesterday afternoon where the sun was out, the high topped out around 89, and there was a nice dry breeze. After all the rain this week, my pool had cooled down from 90 to 86. It was as nice of an afternoon spent swimming as is possible in Houston in mid-June.
  24. Still managing to rack up W's with basically 1/3 of our lineup occupied by replacements of replacements.
