  1. Sell in April, buy it all back in May? Nasdaq closed at a new ATH today at 16,511. S&P at 5,246 is back to within 8 points of previous ATH set on 3/28/24. DJIA back up to 39,555. Still on the hunt for 40K. Closest we've come is 39,807 back on 3/28/24.
  2. 9-6 in our last 15. Just keep stringing together more W's than L's and let the chips fall where they may.
  3. If you're looking for a sci-fi series to watch, all 4 seasons of Battlestar Galactica (the 2000's version, not the campy 70's original) were just recently added to Prime. Incredible show.
  4. Related note, I have watched this video at least a dozen times, and I still can't get through it without cracking up.
  5. Judging by how it looks outside my office window, bout to get nasty in Houston within the next 30 minutes or so.
  6. Nerd Alert. Anime thread being bumped. Finally finished AOT earlier this month. Was watching 3-4 episodes a week during workouts. Took me several months to finish at that pace, but really enjoyed it. Demon Slayer is finally back. First episode of new season dropped last night. Planning to watch this afternoon. New episodes coming out Sunday nights the next few weeks. In the meantime, started a promising new series last week. Kaiju No. 8. Currently just 5 episodes available, releasing weekly. Full first season won't be out until end of June.
  7. Attaboy JV. Exactly what we needed today. Now lets please get 6 more outs without any major drama. Maybe tack on another run or two for good measure.
  8. Well, I guess if you're going to go BB, BB, HBP, it's best to do it with nobody on, 2 outs.
  9. ^^^^ And Dana said our problem was the bats getting off to a slow start!!!!
  10. Just looked it up. We're among the worst in MLB in every important pitching stat. 5.07 ERA (28/30) 165 BB (28/30) 1.49 WHIP (29/30) .260 BAA (25/30) 8 blown saves in 13 opportunities. Tied with Marlins for worst save percentage in MLB.
  11. Final 2 "fastballs" came in under 90.
  12. Would have been nice to have Bielak come in and eat a few innings as today's long relief whipping boy.
  13. How many firings we expecting this season? Espada? Pitching coach?
  14. Are you under the impression it's my call?
  15. I think it's just a scheduled day off. Don't think Tucker has sat out a single game yet. Edit: Yeah, he has appeared in 38/38 games this season.
  16. Haha. Post ended up going viral after someone posted it on Reddit. The next day the guy was like "Boy I really stepped in it. While my message was good, my delivery was clearly tone-deaf..." All the replies to that post were basically "Jesus Christ, it's not the delivery, your message was dog shit, you pathetic corporate simp..."
  17. Been helping out on some Permian work again lately for the first time in a little while. Keep seeing leases that have these specific provisions where they can't be assigned to CHK, Endeavor, or any entity affiliated with Autry Stephens. I've run across similar provisions several times in various leases over the years. Anyone know the exact story on that? Feels like it only ever applies to those specific companies
  18. Welp, as of lunch today, I've got a new unpaid, thankless side job. I'm now in charge of "managing" our deer lease. Met with the guy who's been the point man for our group the last few years, but he never has time to go out anymore, and has been wanting to pass the torch and implied he may drop out entirely. No possible way this can backfire and end up being a pain in the ass! Brother and I's new stand should be ready fairly soon, so first order of business will be heading out sometime in the next few weekends to drag it out there and hopefully we can convince a couple of the other guys to come out for a minor work weekend to do some brush clearing and beer drinking.
  19. Love it. I've been wearing a very similar Citizen almost every day for the last 2 1/2 years. I probably only wear my "fancy" dress watch probably 20-30 times a year when the outfit calls for it.
  20. Yesterday was the first truly gross Summer-like day here in Houston. High 80's, extremely humid, producing a "feels like" close to triple digits. Walking through my work garage yesterday morning brought back that old familiar feeling of "oh here we fucking go." Close to 90 today, but much drier air arrived overnight and it's actually pretty pleasant. I'm gonna savor these last remaining tolerable weeks before it gets terrible.
  21. Dumbass shit we see on LinkedIn.
  22. Leadoff 2B. Infield dribbler for a single. Runner stays at 2B. 2 on, 0 Out. Shallow fly out. No one advances. 2 on, 1 out. Sharply hit single to shallow OF. Runner held at 3B. Bases loaded, 1 out. K (swinging at what would have been ball 4). Fly out.
