  1. Anyone with a chainsaw or a flatbed truck or one of those big flat trailers can be a superhero in Kerrville next week.
  2. I miss this guy so much:
  3. You're going to hear helicopters non-stop in daylight for at least a week.
  4. Seriously, you're correct -- they were absolutely heroic after the Wimberley flood, and that was before there was even an HEB in town.
  5. Actually my wife just reminded me of a more worthless group: https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/about/
  6. There is absolutely no more worthless group in a situation like this than the Red Cross. They literally made things worse in Wimberley. If you're going to donate money to the relief efforts, PLEASE do not donate to the red cross.
  7. But Aaron Judge!
  8. It was a 5-infielder thing in the 10th. He got nowhere near CF, but Bellinger came in to play 1st, and he moved over between 1st and 2nd. I had seen a clip of him taking grounders at 2nd earlier in the season, and was like WTF?? Anyways, I can't wait to use this in Immaculate Grid when it asks for a Yankee center fielder. DiMaggio, Mantle, Goldschmidt...
  9. The Denton arcade was Michael's Game Room, and they gave you a free T-shirt if you set a high score on any game, and they reset the machines at the start of every month, so the place would be packed with kids on the first day of every month, which is how I got my shirt on Centipede. Those shirts were huge status symbols in elementary school!
  10. Trammel got a World Series ring last year. Proven veteran who knows how to win.
  11. You should see my toenails...
  12. Some of the shit you can bet on is just asking for trouble.
  13. If any of you chucklefucks (*) are in town, I'll buy you a beer or share my gummies at today's game -- pm me. * except maybe putt.
  14. Addams Family is the best pinball machine and that's indisputable. Also, this is the best place in the world: https://lyonsclassicpinball.com/intro.htm
  15. So badass: This is apparently from opening day. That's Phillies mgr Stuffy McInnis talking with Giants acting mgr Rogers Hornsby. Later, you see them standing around John McGraw (who's presumably out again with another sinus bout). At about 2:17, you can see that they're in the Phillies' Baker Bowl, where it was 280 down the RF line and 300 to the RF alley. Chuck Klein would not be in the HoF had he spent his career anywhere else.
  16. They just got a new owner, so I'm not sure it's the same. The previous family owned it for 92 years. And yeah, some of the games are that old.
  17. CHI broadcast showed it a bunch of times. Doesn't look good, but it also wasn't a Theisman/Krumrie.
