  1. LOL. Weather.com really phoning it in today.
  2. W #63. A 100-loss season is officially off the table.
  3. Rain and clouds keeping it well below 90 in H-town today, but we're in for a long stretch of the suck. High pressure heat dome looking likely to settle in over the state for the next 10-15 days.
  4. Man, I'm getting to the point of the Summer where I'll be happy just to see a day on the forecast where the low is even 2 degrees less than the day before. Every single day in the current 14-day outlook for Houston is a high between 92-96, high humidity, and a low of 78 or 79. Groundhog Day weather, where it's just the same day over and over and over. Really looking forward to my upcoming trip to Colorado the week after next. That first evening in town at sunset and it's in the 50's after flying out from a heat index over 100 is one of life's great pleasures.
  5. Holy crap, just saw a stat that we're 36/199 with RISP (.181) since the LAD series. No wonder we're 7-14 since then. Can that possibly be correct?
  6. Through 2 losses: 4 runs off 21 hits and 8 BB, 3 of which came off 2 swings by Walker. Watching this team since 7/6:
  7. Just the way things are going with this team. Correa is 2/4 with a BB today but saved his absolute worst AB of the day for bases loaded situation.
  8. 13 hits, 5 BB.....3 runs.
  9. "Benches clear after intentional balk" is not a phrase you hear often.
  10. A Neris sighting this season is basically equivalent to a white flag. It means we've given up and are looking to the next game.
  11. Lol, for a second I almost believed Neris was capable of a clean inning.
  12. In a world where anything goes as planned for the '25 Astros, Smith gets frequent days off, accounting for the fact that he has only spent 32 games in the minors and has never played anything remotely close to a 162-game season.
  13. Finally a shot to get some momentum and Caratini and Smith both K with men on 2nd and 3rd.
  14. Holy shit, an RBI single with RISP.
  15. Yet another fucking GIDP after getting the leadoff man on.
  16. You can score a run on less than 6 hits??!??!
  17. It's Walker dingers or nothing so far this series. 3 runs on 14 hits (plus a few BB and errors) through 13 innings.
  18. Welp, had to push this trip back to next Saturday, which had me bummed out b/c I was really looking forward to getting out there for the first time in months, but it seems to have worked out for the best as it's currently raining cats and dogs at the lease and looks like it will for most of the day. There's a lot of things that can be said about our place but "a fun place to be when it's raining" is not one of them.
  19. There's no such thing as "getting it right" when it comes to the initial survey releases. Never really has been.
  20. Wulaw can rejoice. Trump just fired the BLS commissioner.
  21. The hot, dry days touching 100 only stuck around SETX through Wednesday. Back to mid-90's and high humidity for the foreseeable future. Still a good 40 days away from when I start scouring the GFS models for any hint of the Fall's first cool front. Only noticeable difference over the next few weeks will likely be the days getting a little bit shorter. Currently losing a little about 90 seconds of sunlight each day. 2 Fridays from now will be the last sunset of the year later than 8 p.m. in the eastern portion of TX.
  22. I imagine getting outscored 32-8 during that 5-game losing stretch shook things up a bit.
  23. Dana also said they were looking for pitchers but felt asking costs were too high. Satisfied with the arms that will be returning soon.
