  1. were the first two hits in the inning on Harris are on the shift?
  2. I would say being over-selective is the #1 issue with Marwin. He takes way too many fastballs right down the middle for first or second strike. Never seen anything like it.
  3. Ya South campus thankfully didn't materialize as a place to play games (we just practiced there) until my son was already in Juniors. When we had McGovern it was better, from a travel perspective, but selling McGovern enabled us to develop South Campus and set-up the long-term survival of the league. It insured we had control of our fields and were no longer subject to the whim of a school board or elementary school principal.
  4. yep. Former WULL guy here. We had plenty of styro, tervis tumblers back in the day in the stands. Then we got an attorney as head of the league and between that and HISD cracking down (we have some of our fields on their property) there was a general push to stop it. Sort of amazing POLL still does it considering the number of uptight attorneys in that league along with the fact that all their fields are on HISD property.
  5. http://www.rbcrichardsonbarr.com/IndustryResearch/News.aspx?a=news&ticker=a&w=&story=201804thomsonreuters2187716_9999999_0.xml Jerrah (Arkoma) taking a controlling interest in Comstock
  6. not top five, but this always reminds me of the 60's. Agree with everyone else that For What Its Worth is the quintessential 60's song.
  7. Pettite was there last year, but not sure about this year. The other assistant is Raynor Noble. Story on why Lance is not at Rice. He did work under Wayne for a bit, but Wayne pulled him aside and said he didn't want Lance messing with the lower body of his hitters. He could only work on the arm action in the swing. Lance supposedly said to him that he had 366 career Home Runs, how many did you have?....knowing full well Wayne had Zero. Lance walked out, never to be seen from again.
  8. so even with a seven run lead Hinch is not comfortable letting Giles get some work. Pretty telling right there
  9. Yuli's not so good is a 100x better than anything Jake brings to the offense. There is no scenario where we are better off with Jake batting instead of Yuli.
  10. it's not that hard to find Fresno, he just needs to type it into is destination on Waze.
  11. not a milestone but a feat that might be hard to equal - getting a hit for two different teams in two different cities on the same day. Joel Youngblood - August 4, 1982. Mets and Expos. http://www.bleachernation.com/baseballisfun/2017/08/04/exactly-35-years-ago-joel-youngblood-got-hits-for-two-teams-in-two-cities-on-the-same-day/
  12. honestly it has to be his name that is holding him back. Just listened to the entire album and it's fantastic....love that old school.

    one of life's simple pleasures is a good shave. I suggest you take your face and a couple days of beard growth to Geo Trumper on Duke of York street for a proper shave and hot towels. You need to make an appointment. They also have a Mayfair shop, but I've only been to the Duke of York location. Assume both are excellent. https://www.trumpers.com/contact.cfm
  14. so good. Lotte sort of grows on you, then you see her naked and she really grows on you! Love this show.
  15. childhood hero of mine. RIP Le Grande Orange http://www.rustystaubfoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/image-10-e1462892185206.jpg
  16. Yep, and the sad part is that some time in the next couple of years he's going to try to pull up the old site at 4:00am to post a Johnny Cash tune and that's when he find out about the exodus.
