  1. Reminds me of Mel Brooks' distinction between tragedy and comedy. "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die. "
  2. And yet not a drop yesterday at my house a whopping 4 miles from my office. At least Tuesday I caught some of the outer fringes of the storm.
  3. Not that it's much consolation, but we pretty reliably suffer at least 1 post-ASB sweep to OAK in otherwise great seasons. Happened in the waning days of 2021 when we were dragging out finally clinching the division. Mid-August 2019 and actually marked a low point in the division race (dropped to 6 game lead). Suffered a 4-game sweep in early September 2017.
  4. Fine time and opponent to suffer your first sweep of the year. Now watch, Dusty gonna rest 2 starters tomorrow night vs. SEA and bat Dubon 2nd or something.
  5. Barring a trade, Tucker needs to be batting behind Yordan everytime he's in the lineup. Yordan IBB are becoming a near daily occurrence.
  6. Shoulder is fucked up. I believe he had a batting cage session like 2 weeks ago and they immediately shut him back down.
  7. That said, I don't think Click can justify standing pat with our current lineup. We're getting dogshit production from the bottom of our lineup. Our primary 1B has a .669 OPS. The 3 guys we've trotted out at CF have produced a combined .650 OPS. Our usual LF hasn't been seen in a month.
  8. 2 straight days with some relatively substantial late-afternoon showers rolling through the middle of Houston for about 20-30 minutes. Is that legal?
  9. We've also haven't had a big inning this series. Twice we scored 2 runs, all other runs were single-serve. Our 4 HR have all been solo shots.
  10. Damnit guys, you gotta tie it up with a man on 3rd and less than 2 outs.
  11. What a weird sport. 5-0 vs. team with the best record in the league and a team that has won 19 of their last 23. Possible sweep and losing 6 of last 7 to a team that will likely lose ~100.
  12. Edit: Nevermind, read a chart wrong. Atlanta Fed still calling for a drop, -1.2%, up from -1.7%.
  13. I played it on PS4, but got bored and distracted when I hit level cap well before finishing the main story and never finished. I will definitely replay it the full way through at some point in the near future. ZD was probably my favorite PS4 game and I was originally hoping to have a 5 before starting it. Looking forward to better graphics and dramatically-improved load times. Certain games were almost unplayable on my 6-year old PS4. Super frustrating when you die or skip a cutscene and it takes a minute or more to get back into the game.
  14. Holy shit, after more than a year of trying, I just decided to randomly check Target website and they had a PS5 disc edition in stock near my office. Picking it up later this afternoon.
  15. I'm firmly in the "watched the original run of Saved by the Bell as a kid" demographic. Of course I'm familiar with the reference, but was unsure what it was posted regarding. Natty being back above $9 maybe?
  16. Gonna be in Crested Butte on Saturday. 66/47 with 60% rain chances. I might catch a damn cold.
  17. This is good policy for a change. Context?
  18. That was you? LOL, I was wondering why the barrels were only moved out of the way up to Great Heights earlier in the week. I guess they got the message and moved the rest on Friday.
  19. Launched at the pleasure island RV Park. Drifted along the north revetment wall and then later moved to fish over the reef near the sunken barge at the south side of the lake. Same results at both spots. Mostly live shrimp under corks but also throwing some rootbeer/chartreuse tail soft plastics.
  20. Seriously, look at this map and tell me it doesn't feel like some supervillian is using a drought machine to hold Texas hostage.
