  1. Hader has given up 1 run and struck out 12 in his first 9 innings of work this season. You can probably do the math on that ERA and K/9.
  2. Buddy of mine works for a ranch brokerage listing big tracts of land like that. He mostly sells stuff NW of Austin (Llano, Burnet...etc.), but the brokerage has associates all over the state and looks like they have an office in Amarillo. https://texasranchsalesllc.com/
  3. But absolutely jack shit until then. Every single day in the 15-day is warm and sunny.
  4. Quite a roller-coaster day for WTI today. Down to $55.48 at the low point this morning, closed at $62.58 (still lowest price since May 2021).
  5. Trump ups China tariffs to 125%, caps all other country tariffs at 10% for the 90 next days.
  6. What's their favorite part of the podcast? Sacks' utter disdain for Ukraine and fellating of Russia?
  7. Nah, Houston. Guy loads up a big trailer with ice and drives over to a farm in Louisiana and picks up a couple hundred sacks on Saturday mornings. Drives back to Houston and delivers to bars and restaurants, but he makes a pit stop when he gets back in town where "friends" can come pick up a couple sacks before he hits his big clients. Good friend of mine started cooking crawfish on the weekends at a brewery during an extended post-COVID stint of unemployment and became buddies with their crawfish supplier. Eventually got me on the "friends" list. I then got a couple of my buddies in.
  8. Prices have definitely improved the last few weeks. Buddy is having his annual Spring boil on Saturday. Our mutual delivery guy is down to $2.75/lb and his sacks tend to be good size and very little dead loss. I'm sure there will be a price surge for Easter weekend, but should drop back to $2.50 or less thereafter.
  9. Down nearly $10 in 2 days.
  10. Bout ready for this upcoming front to arrive. Weather has been quite blah this week and is just straight nasty today. Currently 87 and muggy as hell with a feels like of 94. Ain't ready for this shit yet. And wow, just saw that temps on Saturday night/Sunday morning are expected to drop even lower than last time I looked earlier in the week. Then the next 5-6 days after that are just about perfect April weather.
  11. Some fun stats: 33 TB and 4 XBH are dead last in MLB. 9 total runs and 8 RBI tied for dead last. .175 AVG and .496 OPS are 29/30, trailing only ATL's abysmal .144 and .474.
  12. Looks like most of the state should get some more showers Friday/Saturday ahead of a late-season cold front pushing through over the weekend. Seeing highs in the 60's, lows in the 40's Sunday and Monday.
  13. Dude just couldn't put away those first 3 batters. Got to 2 strikes in all 3 counts and then they just kept fouling shit off. Not a good performance of course, but buckling down to get the next 3 guys to K/Sac Fly/K is pretty close to ideal when you're looking at bases juiced, no outs. and tenuous 3-0 lead.
  14. After Game 1/162, Astros solidly in first place, Rangers languishing in the cellar with the Angels.
  15. No offense to Hader, but I don't mind at all if he doesn't get a save opportunity today. Gimme 1 or 2 insurance runs.
  16. I was about to really sweat that Nimmo AB but luckily a buddy at the game spoiled it for me. Seems like TV feed is about 40 seconds behind.
  17. Not complaining about getting guys on base, but we need to land a knockout punch. Ready for an XBH after all these walks and singles.
  18. I'm glad Jake is relatively fast and that ball was hit relatively soft.
  19. Will age like mayonnaise in the sun, but that's a problem for another man at another time.
  20. Yep, while their brisket is totally skippable and sometimes downright bad, CM ribs with their red glaze are still a treat. Always grab a few bottles of sauce to go for friends/co-workers.
  21. Let's get back to winning on Opening Day. It sucked dropping Game 1 for the first time in like a decade last year, especially given that it led to a 4-game sweep.
  22. Supply has been increasing the past 2 weeks or so, which means prices are finally starting to come down to earth and vendors are taking a little later in the day to sell out. Starting to see field run at sub-$3 though weekend prices remain elevated. Couple more weeks of moderate weather and things should be looking much better by mid-April.
