  1. I still literally love Gerrit Cole.
  2. Which Pee Wee team is your son on?
  3. POLL is (in)famous for Styro Row. Our league (SBMSA) does not allow it, but you can be certain that plenty of tumblers contain mixed drinks, especially in the laid-back summer league. We started off the season pretty well, but the sportsmanship issues have started to crop up now that playoffs are near. Coaches and fans are starting to ratchet up the intensity. It's parts hilarious and parts ridiculous. I enjoy it a ton. Our little team is 7-1. We hit really well. We often play defense like Roger Dorn.
  4. I don't know about him, but it's pretty clear that you don't understand the demand side of this equation. The demand is there. The $$$ speaks loudly.
  5. Haha. I had you mixed up. I can't be expected to remember "Hanrahan!"
  6. What team is your son on? We're on the Hooks.
  7. Amen to that. I'll be out there tonight.
  8. Shorten the season back to 154 games. Each team plays 2 Sunday doubleheaders (1 home/away) over the season. This allows more rest days and fits the playoffs to be finished in October. Robot umps for balls and strikes. Make batters stay in the box and enforce the 12-second rule on the pitchers. Use social media like the NBA and make clips readily shareable. Kill the blackout rules. All-Star Game needs to always be on July 4th. Make the DH available to both leagues. Expand rosters to 26. I could probably list more if I cared to think about it more. I'm sure these aren't super original.
  9. Too bad we couldn't find 8 good coaches!
  10. Time to do better than last year's regular season record at home (48-33). It starts tonight. I'll be there tomorrow night.
  11. My son is playing in Spring Branch Memorial Sports Association this spring, in the 7-8 year old division (Midget). I'm the head coach of his team, and the coordinator of the league. 50 teams, 620 kids, it's insane and great. I did OK in the draft. We draft amongst schools, so I had a draft pool of 26 kids. I targeted 6 of them as guys/families I really wanted. I landed 5 of those 6.
