  1. my son is a D3 pitcher. I've flown up for a weekend and not seen him pitch, although luckily that has been rare. But I have seen him throw only one inning. Helps that I'm a baseball fanatic, so I tend to stand with the other Dads and pass judgement over the coaching decisions or lack thereof.
  2. make that the second biggest
  3. Correa bobblehead china doll giveaway night just announced by the Astros
  4. needs to be put in dry dock wherever she ends up. Galveston seems like a good spot,
  5. possibly one of the best leadership movies ever made. still used in grad school today to teach leadership.
  6. The Pass and Provisions shutting down (for good or just for the summer?). Tomorrow (May 25th) is the last day of service

  8. Cool, thanks for posting this. I always wondered if they planned for a mirror image building to go up on the empty lot next door, but then an oil bust/real estate collapse happened.
  9. appears no to pregnancy and yes to two warrants. One for allegedly assaulting the apartment complex manager and another for throwing a log through the windshield of a car. Bad decisions like deaths, sometimes come in threes.
  10. Prosecutor: Officer Smith, was it really necessary for you to shoot the the unarmed civilian? Officer Smith: Yes Prosecutor: No further questions your honor, the DA concludes this was a legal use of force.
  11. stayed in her hotel a couple of times in Carmel, so this hits close to home. She was an American icon. The good girl that all the boys (even Rock) wanted.
  12. and as expected Weatherford announced in their 10-Q that they will file for bankruptcy

    looks like you have a couple of Mexican places with decent reviews and new steakhouse XIT, and an all you can eat Chinese Buffet. Plus they have a Sonic which begs for you to go there and recreate the scene from Fandango - "I'll have two chili dogs and a malt"
  14. Sam Houston had not made the NCAA's the two years before Pierce arrived in Huntsville. Tulane had not been to the regional in six season and had just suffered a 23-29 season the year before Pierce arrived. You guys had a losing season the year before he arrived. Pierce is a good coach with a good resume.

  15. Altuve pressing big time, swinging at stuff all over the place. But also getting beat with fast balls in the zone. I wonder if he needs to have his vision checked. I’ve noticed him doing a bit of squinting this year.
  16. https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/bob-baffert-has-strong-response-to-kentucky-derby-controversy Baffert with strong response to those who filed claims - says "take the loss you pussies"
  17. apparently it will have a country vibe. First release. Nice sound, nice melody.
  18. reaction from Boros
  19. so Jason F'n Castro shows them how it's done.
  20. I've applied to renew as by GE expires in June. My application has been "Awaiting Review" for weeks now. TSA better not fuck this up.
  21. full concert from 2013 ACL. I was there and they were fun.
  22. 100% this. I coached every year and was on the LL board. Loved pretty much every minute of it. High school and now college is nice to just stand back with all the other Dad coaches and just watch. Of course all the old coaches still think we can manage a better game than the current coach!
  23. my son's 10 year old year we made it to state and lost in the championship game in Tyler. I was the Manager, and that drive back from Tyler was about the hardest drive I've ever made. I was mentally and physically spent. We followed it up with by winning state his eleven year old year . Team went 13-0 for the summer and it was a blast. The amount of time it takes for the Coaches is amazing - batting practice every morning, field practice every evening. Hours spent figuring out player rotations and pitching rotation due to pitch counts. Also dealing with Team Mom's who want to have a team event every day, and of course dealing with parents who think their kid should get more playing time. Fun fun experience, but exhausting. We got knocked out in Sectionals our 12 year old year by the eventual state champion. I remember one of the Dad's asked if anyone was up for taking the team to Cooperstown for that tournament. We just all laughed - no chance we were playing another inning.
