    Yeah, there aren't many better ways to spend an afternoon than baseball, beer and whataburger.

    I actually prefer a night game there.  Cooler and the bridge is an awesome backdrop at night.

  2. My DFW-SFO flight was cancelled last night and something stinks. The weather lasted roughly 1330-1500. The inbound flight landed at 1945, a full hour before the SFO flight was scheduled to depart. By the time my flight was cancelled, (2300) our aircraft had still not made it to the gate. Another aircraft was at our gate however. I’m thinking the mechanics dispute with AA is affecting their pushback abilities. This (lack of) effort has forced me to sit with the poors this evening. Anyone else notice something similar recently?

    And did some mention “good” and Heathrow in the same sentence. I transfer thru there occasionally and that process is one of the worlds biggest beatings.

  3. curst of the wack pack continues.  Still can't believe fatass Eric is gonna be one the of the last ones standing.  Howard has been calling out his and Jeff's preeminent death for over a decade.  


    I’m convinced High Pitch and the roaches are the only creatures that will survive the coming nuclear winter.

  4. many years ago, i went to a dodgers game on manny ramirez bobblehead day, and manny had been dinged up - finger injury or something, for several games, so he didn't play.
    the dodgers were tied 2-2 in the 6th and the bases were loaded, and they brought manny in to pinch-hit.  and he hit a grand slam.  and i've never heard a stadium explode any louder.
    moral of the story - yuli will probably hit a pinch-hit grand slam tonight, because history doesn't lie.
     
    edit to fix score and include video, surprisingly easy to find.
     



    You could always count on Dusty Baker to DESTROY his own pitching staff!
  5. Let’s face it, Alvarez is not coming to Houston any earlier than the super-2 deadline (early June sometime.) Not because he’s not ready, but simply because we don’t need him. (As our record and team OPS prove.).

    Let’s let White try to work his way out of his funk and allow the Wizard try to get that proverbial bag of balls for him. (Or bundle him with a mired pitching prospect for one of those lotto tickets Lunhow is so good at finding.)

  6. Sheeittt.  I ain’t Dallas.  The Dallas people do think they live in heaven.  They think their weather is San Diegoesque.  


    Most Dallas folks are mindful that we live next door to the sun 3 months/year.
  7. remember, the 7-5 has the same landing gear as the 7-6, but weighs a lot less.  752 is certified to land at MTOW, thus, no dump facility at all.


    I think the 767 has bulkier gear. And is also “certified” to land at max takeoff weight. I think the reason it has fuel dump is simply because it carries so much more fuel (160k vice 75k.) And with its much higher normal MLGW (326k vice 198k) dumping simply gives it a chance to land on more runways, at safer approach speeds.

  8. For those of you that love Bosch on Amazon, (and I count myself as one,)  do yourself a favor and read the books.  Harry comes across as much more humorous and somehow even more surly.  Connelly (a great Gator btw,) is a fantastic writer.

  9. Damn Slorch is a Disneyland Marine?   I was 3rd Battalion at PI. (Where they couldn't hear you scream.)  And we only needed 3 of those bad ass DI's.

    Years later in my zero life I was in a squadron next door to the the meanest of our drill instructors (a lowly LCPL at that.)  He was now a Gunny and I was a Captain and there was no way in hell I was going to let him know I was within the same zip-code. Fucker gave me a scar on my hand that reminded me of him for 20 some odd years.  But yea, I had it coming.

    Getting back on topic, the boot camp scenes were the closest any of the rest of you will ever get to the real thing. R. Lee was legit.
