  1. Helobious magic has already struck as the defending world champions Lake Mary, FL were just eliminated by South Carolina. SC is the second US team to qualify for Williamsport.
  2. As written either both players or the second one and almost certainly the manager specifically because it was multiple players. Note that it doesn't say they "may" be ejected, it says they shall be. Agreed that the West champion and Florida are better, but Lamar and Eastbank are essentially equal. Eastbank won 7-5 then Lamar won 5-2.
  3. Congrats to Richmond Lamar. First team to join the US bracket in Williamsport.
  4. Big review in the Southeast Regional, they get it right. Virginia/South Carolina semi.
  5. Starting to look like a major league lineup again. If Yordan Alvarez wasn't the Cuban Greg Oden at least.
  6. Yeah that was a terrible final decision by Little League. I love Little League but if you don't enforce the rules you are asking for problems. There is zero reason now for any tournament team not to relay signals from second base until they're caught twice. The book said that player and probably manager should have been ejected.
  7. LLWS doesn't start until next Wednesday 8/13 but Richmond Lamar LL plays Eastbank LL from Kenner, LA at 6pm today for the Southwest Region title and a spot in Williamsport. Lamar got both breaks in the format by having the only first round bye in the 7 team tournament and now only having to beat Eastbank once due to the "Wichita State" made for TV format. Lamar's team appears to be mostly the Lamar Elite travel club based on a quick glance earlier. As always, unpage.org is a great resource for pre-LLWS results. https://unpage.org/
  8. I like your idea of surgically attaching the brace directly to the bone.
  9. How many fan forums already have threads about how "Texas always gets overranked like this in the preseason" completely oblivious to the fact this is our first preseason #1 ranking ever? Texags is of course the center square on the bingo card if you're playing at home.
  10. Do you think aging doesn't affect people? What a dumb take. And other than Nico (who beat him once and was his equal for 3 seasons) when were the other two in the same car?
  11. He was barely Russell's equal at Mercedes and now he's slower than Leclerc. Ever since he hasn't had the fastest car in the field by far he is merely a decent F1 driver.
  12. Now that Hamilton has come out and said it himself maybe the media coverage will stop acting like he's one of the best drivers. https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/45885854/lewis-hamilton-mulls-ferrari-driver-change-hungary-grand-prix
  13. I remember the first time I yelled "BREAK HIS FUCKING NECK!" at a TX/OU game and an older woman in Texas gear looked at me with a horrified look on her face. Then I said "well I hope he recovers and has a good life but just can't play football anymore" and she just nodded in a way that indicated okay that's acceptable.
  14. I will also say that the front office is in a weird situation this year. If you're Dana Brown you are dealing with a medical staff that was already here (I think?) and you might not trust. What the hell do you do? We have a AAAA team that is 62-47 somehow and you have to think that IF Peña comes back healthy and Alvarez comes back at 90% of himself, etc., that you have a team that can win a title. You can't sell when you're in first place, the fanbase would riot. So you either sit on your hands and limp to a close division win with a team that needs small sample size luck to win a title or you try to go for it. I'm not going to get too upset about anything that we did today, we were in an usual spot. Obviously just like every year it might not work out but I'm not going to second guess anything we did. We tried to improve and we brought back a hero with his former team covering 30% of his cost.
  15. I will say that having team leadership and ownership willing and always looking to do SOMETHING is way more enjoyable as a fan than teams that just sit around and hope their current roster "plays better" down the stretch. Yeah we all sit around and analyze comparative value and long-term impact and blah, blah, blah but in the end this is entertainment and I appreciate the fact that we are always trying something.
  16. Told my kid the new HEB commercial writes itself. Altuve is hanging out with McCullers at home. The doorbell rings, surprise it's Carlos! Altuve excitedly says "CARLOS!" and they all hug. Then before he closes the door Altuve peeks outside and says "Alex?"
  17. I just saw this. This dipshit had a Heisman winning QB drafted (way too high) in the 4th round after 4 years. And it's inconceivable that a 7th round pick could hold off a future Heisman winner who is in his second year? Sorry not sorry if already covered.
  18. I said aligned interests should do it, not Democrats themselves. That was very intentional.
  19. Careful. Super obvious shit is too Cloak Room these days.
  20. Democrat-aligned interests should already be flooding the zone with posts saying that he's going to pardon or make a deal with a child molester so she'll lie to cover up his own misdeeds. That this is what conspirators do. And that he's going to do it because he thinks his supporters are stupid enough to fall for it. They probably still will but the ONLY chance to beat this play in their minds is to call it out as part of the conspiracy before it happens.
  21. It's like all our opponents are the Longhorn defense and we keep throwing backup QBs out there.
  22. It's hilarious that you think this post sounds smart. I can picture you sitting there as you edited it a dozen times until it sounded like you think smart people sound. So many awkward phrases jammed into 6 sentences.
  23. It sounds like you're asking if we know how good we've got it.
