  1. I wouldn’t take the Nets offer for Westbrook, let alone Harden.
  2. I've been lurking this thread since before Covid. My son is turning 7 in December. He played t-ball as a 5 year year old with mostly 6 year olds. He wasn't the best player on the team, but was solidly the 3rd best. I was one of the assistant coaches, and we had a great time, except for the fact that his team was just abysmally terrible (and the other teams constantly violated the rules in place that were to ensure fair competition). He's always been hyper competitive, so being the Bad News Bears was very discouraging for him, so he wanted to take some time off from playing baseball again and then Covid happened. Putting aside the reemerging Covid situation, he really wants to start playing again, and registration for spring coach pitch is around the corner. We're in Houston zoned to both Spring Branch -- Memorial Sports Association and Spring Branch Little League. Does anyone have experiences/opinions regarding the pros/cons between the two? Part of the difference appears to be a USSSA vs USA Baseball situation, which I know nearly nothing about other than the bat spec issue.
  3. $189 but they are on sale from time to time in the store.
  4. I’m thinking of putting in something similar. About how much did that cost? Did you have to run a gas line very far?
  5. Masraff’s, Treebeard’s, and Texadelphia are all open now at 10 and Bunker Hill. The latter two face Gaylord St. Tiny’s Milk and Cookies is opening soon in the same spot. I’ve only tried Treebeard’s so far since they were the first to open, and after getting take out twice I found it much better across the board than the downtown locations. No one is going to mistake it for Brennan’s but it was better than the last couple of times at Ragin Cajun.
  6. Yeah I thought Inman’s was the move in Llano. I’ve never been a huge fan of Cooper’s.
  7. Costco currently has some good Klipsch outdoor speakers. I bought them a few weeks ago and they are legit. https://www.costco.com/klipsch-kho-7-outdoor-weatherproof-speakers.product.100662155.html
  8. Sounds similar to my neighbor’s daughter. Ended up being thyroid issues.
  9. Isn't the recharge zone in Travis county west of 35?
  10. Yes and that was how Burger King originally gained on McDonald’s and it’s strict no substitution policy: Burger King - where you can “have it your way.”
  11. You can charge from 25-50 percent at a Tesla supercharger in the time it takes to go inside a convenience store for a restroom break and to get some drinks/snacks for the road. At least my Long Range Model Y does.
  12. There is no such report coming out, and your endless defense of Luhnow and the whole situation is over the top. Luhnow's lawsuit will likely be dismissed, and if it initially survives, I seriously doubt Crane and Kibbe (the GC) will have any interest in settling. You should try to move on from all of this.
  13. I’d be fine with Bradley in CF, Tucker LF, and RF in RF instead of Reddick.
  14. There’s no way Luhnow didn’t know what was going on. The MLB investigators, some of whom were former federal prosecutors, had multiple sources who said Luhnow knew. His interview was full of deflection, logical inconsistencies, and what appear to be half truths. He says MLB called him and said there were rumors of the Astros sign stealing but he didn’t do anything to look into it because they didn’t affirmative ask him to do anything? You gotta be fucking kidding me. And even if, for the sake of argument, that he somehow didn’t, MLB had put all GMs on notice that they would be held responsible for violations of the sign stealing rules. So at minimum, he should have known. Hell, I went to a bunch of regular season games that year where I was sitting behind home plate or first base and could clearly hear the bangs. Of course at the time I had no idea what they were, but Luhnow could certainly hear the same thing from the owners box just a few feet away.
  15. What pissed me off as much as the damage was that I didn’t catch the guy on video because sentry mode switched off as my battery got to 20 percent right when I parked.
  16. So a couple days ago I’m at Lowe’s getting some shit and I get a notification on my phone that my car alarm is going off. I go outside and apparently some mouth breathing neanderthal had rammed my car with a shopping cart, leaving a steak of paint on my door. What’s the best way to get this off? After googling, I tried goo gone and WD-40 which didn’t work that great. I got a decent amount off but it required scraping it off with my thumbnail. At this rate I will be left with bloody stumps for thumbs.
  17. Flavorable? Is this a surly bit I missed?
