- Hey Oil Barons.......
Sharp uptick in interest rates seems to have taken the wind out of the recent upswing for WTI. Down $7 in the past 5 trading days, back to $86. On the flipside, natty has a 3 handle for the first time since January.- Blastfurnace 2023
Not stupid enough to complain about finally getting some steady rain in Houston, but Jesus Christ is it swampy today. Currently 83 with heat index of 95. You can scoop the air outside with a spoon. ~60 more hours of soupy conditions and then we finally get a taste of Autumn.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Shitty CR angle to Ukraine funding resulting from McCarthy getting the boot yesterday.- 2023 Rain Thread
Houston area getting a steady soaking this morning. Nothing heavy yet, but a consistent light rain since before sunup. Looks like some stronger stuff down in Brazoria/Fort Bend that may or may not make it to the city center later. Unrelated to the front making its way down south. Little disturbance that originated out in the Gulf. If you're anywhere inside a triangle drawn from Matagorda to Hunstville to Beaumont, you're likely to get at least some rain today.- Blastfurnace 2023
Predicted low for Houston on Sunday now down to 55. I know that's in the wee hours of the morning, but wowza, wasn't expecting to actually drop below 60.- Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest
La Mex should be open at Stomping Grounds within the next 2 weeks, per a post yesterday on their IG page. Perfect timing with the weather finally cooling down in the near future. Looking forward to some hangover brunches with a michelada outdoors.- Blastfurnace 2023
Sometime a little after 6:00 this evening quite possibly will be the last time the temperature outside starts with a 9 at any point in the next 2 weeks in Houston. Rain clouds expected to start rolling in around lunchtime tomorrow. Doesn't look like we'll see the sun again until the end of the weekend. DFW and Austin look to get 1 extra day of hot, muggy Summer weather tomorrow, but as a trade-off for us getting an extra day of rain, y'all get significantly more of a cooldown. Just looked at latest forecast and seeing 69/56 on Saturday in Austin, 73/55 in Dallas. That's stronger than I was expecting. Houston going to be 78/63. Can't wait for the usual knee-jerk reactions that always happen when a front is on its way but hasn't made it far enough south yet to be noticed. I'll be kind of upset if somebody isn't posting tomorrow morning that "it still feels like August outside, all that cold front talk was bullshit!"- Yankees 2023 Offseason Thread of Sadness
You just proved my point. Yankees fans expect to routinely sign multiple franchise players that cost several hundred million dollars a piece. If someone else decides to give half a billion to one of those guys, Yankee Nation will excoriate the front office for not topping it.- Yankees 2023 Offseason Thread of Sadness
The problem is the NYY fanbase will never accept that. If there's a player available, they want him, regardless of the cost. If not, they'll say Hal and Cashman are cheap and not doing thing the way George used to.- 2023 Rangers/Astros thread of hate
I know I should let this go, but this kills me. Earlier today, Rags thread was calling us "Houston Aggy". You know when this board thinks of Aggies, it definitely thinks of routine dominance and multiple recent national championships. Astros just won the division for the 6th time in 7 years. The Rangers have 0 in that span. Astros won the AL 4 times in that span. Rangers 0. Astros won the WS twice in that span. Rangers 0 (ever). Astros have utterly dominated the head to head series during that span (79-34 since '17). We just had our shittiest season in years. The Rangers had their best and shit the bed on the final weekend. We won the division, again. So, I ask, if you were looking at this shit on paper, which team would you think is "little brother"?- 2023 Rangers/Astros thread of hate
Not that you'll have an actual answer, but, even if I stipulate that we cheated in '17, how exactly were we cheating in '22? I've seen all this shit lately from Rags trolls about our "illegitimate ring." Emphasis mine due to the fact they seem to go out of their way to not make it plural. In the alternate universe these goobers live in, we cheated our way to a title in 2017 and haven't done shit since. I know 2022 was a season that most fans of the team from South Oklahoma chose to flush down the toilet, but here's a refresher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_World_Series- 2023 Rangers/Astros thread of hate
Sidenote. That gif always kills me. It's the perfect encapsulation of the goonish-ness of Yankees fans. Gotta be at least 6 different versions of guys named "Joey" in a single frame. Big Fat Sal pulling up his size 48s that are falling off, yelling "fuuuuuuug you's" Puerto RIcan Derka giving his girl the most awkward high 5 in history.- 2023 Rangers/Astros thread of hate

Of all the many, many, many, many, many, many AL West titles the past 7 years, this one definitely tastes the sweetest. The drizzle of Ranger tears really sends it over the stop.- 2023 Houston Astros Thread
Being in first after Game 162 is the only day it matters. Bout time for Sparky to get wet again.- 2023 Houston Astros Thread

It's Houston, aggy of pro sports. Preemptive bitching is what they do best.- Blastfurnace 2023
Dude. Get help. Seriously, go outside and touch burnt-up grass. This Summer sucked fucking balls. No one is happy about it. Climate change is real and is a problem that needs to be addressed. Our state has ongoing problems with governance and utility/resource management that don't bode well for the future. None of that has any bearing on breathing a sigh of relief that this giant middle finger of a Summer is finally running out of gas.- Blastfurnace 2023
Feels pretty damn good outside. Warm and sunny, but low humidity and there's a nice dry breeze. So used to it being oppressively muggy at this point of the day. Gonna take advantage of one last hot, sunny Summer Sunday watching Stros game from the pool. Water temp has come back down to a very refreshing 85. Was getting up around ~91 during the worst stretch in August. Felt like hopping from a sauna into a lukewarm bath. Looks like we've got one more warmer than average, sunny day in the mid-90's tomorrow leading into a gray, wet mid-week. Colder temps should start arriving sometime between late Thursday and early Saturday (depending on how far south you are) after the rains pass and dewpoints start to plummet. I will of course wait for the forecast to actually pan out, but pretty good chance that we can soon declare Blastfurnace 2023 kaput. A full 150 days (5/5/23-10/2/23) of the hottest, most miserable Summer most of us have ever experienced (so far). Pause for a moment, if you will, to remember the HVAC units, lawns and landscaping we're left to mourn. There will still be plenty of warm days ahead, and this thread will linger into November as always, but fellas, we're here, gasping towards the finish line of one of the shittiest marathons ever run.- 2023 Houston Astros Thread

Thank god. Most frustrating Astros team of all time finally does what seemed like a tap-in 2 weeks ago. Let's fuck around and be that team that sneaks its way into the ALCS and then pisses the entire country off by making it to yet another WS.- 2023 Other Games Thread
See you there at the Camelia Bowl in Montgomery!- 2023 Other Games Thread
21-0 with 6:53 left in the 1st. Already been texting with old TXST fraternity brothers. We're definitely travellling to whatever mediocre bowl game we end up in this year. Gonna enjoy the 1-2 years max that we have Kinne while it lasts. - Hey Oil Barons.......
