  2. The Verlander news combined with finding out my wife was pregnant with our first child the next morning is 12 hours that will likely never be topped in my lifetime.

    I watched Altuve’s pennant winning homer off Chapman from the hospital room at Texas Women’s while my wife was in labor with our first. He was born the following day so his bday Houston Chronicle has Altuve walking the Yanks off on the front page.

  3. ^^^^^^^
    I seriously think seeing guys getting their first big league hit is just about my favorite thing in all of sports.

    was in the park to watch one of my best friends hit the first pitch he ever saw in MLB for a homer. was really incredible. his parents were right in front of me.

  4.  Barking Pig is no longer? Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your post, but the owner had been positing about the renovations she’s been doing and being ready to open this past week with a new menu and such. Maybe your friend was confused but I believe they only closed temporarily. 

    they ordered beer from us this past week. don’t have any inside info, but probably wouldn’t order if they were shutting down.

    The Upside Pub
    Coming this summer to the former Tres Amigos space in Garden Oaks, this bar aims to be a casual, come-as-you-are spot for beer, food, and cocktails. Look for an eclectic menu that includes housemade queso and chicken wings along with items that draw on the couple's roots in New Jersey and California such as shrimp rolls and burritos. Co-owner Paige Lujan will curate the bar’s 15 taps of craft beer.


    Had lunch at the Upside Pub yesterday as part of an industry soft open/training shift. Paige is really cool and the menu is fun. It will be a nice Petrol replacement for me.

  6. Wakefield is finally open both ways from Shepherd to Ella for the first time in nearly a year.


    only because a frustrated business owner literally turned the barricade at alba and moved each individual barrel out of the road about 10 days ago.

  7. Because he prioritizes his team over a meaningless exhibition?  OK.

    if it was actually about prioritizing astros i would have no problem with it. i don’t buy that getting hit by a pitch on thursday and then playing one inning on tuesday presents any risk. i could be wrong.
  8. If you want to see the difference between AAA and the show go look at Siris stats the past week or to in AAA then watch that last Ab on a loop. Son of a bitch that’s bad. 

    he must start at least half his ABs down 0-2.

    visited off color brewing yesterday and the owner, john laffler, happened to be behind the bar. talk to him a while and he gave me a tour of the production space and foeder/puncheon aging room. super nice guy. i’ve listened to him on countless podcasts over the years and followed him on twitter forever, so very cool experience.
