  1. “He was one of the greatest pitchers we ever had and probably would have been in the Hall of Fame if his career was not cut short. On the mound, he was devastating and intimidating. Nobody wanted to face him. Guys on the other team would say that they were sick to avoid facing him. This is very sad news. He will be missed.”
     
    RIP.

    All true.

    You baby’s talkin lineups and contracts must have no idea who this guy was. JR Richard was absolutely devastating to hitters. I’m talking Koufax, Gibson in their prime and even Steve Carlton when he discovered the slider. Freaking devastating. He routinely embarrassed major league hitters.

    Teams would come into the Dome for a weekend series and have to face Ryan, knuckleballer Joe Niekro, and JR and be lucky to score two runs …, for the series. Hitters would have to face two of the hardest throwing guys in the majors with a flutterballer in between and leave totally discombobulated. It was awesome.

    RIP big guy

  2. That was a pathetic effort by a mexico c team.


    Maybe the pathetic Mexico fans should’ve thrown their drinks at the pathetic Mexico c Team ?

  4. Some people aren't into the taxidermy bear and wood paneling ambiance.

    This BBQ we’re talking about. If the place has ambience, the food is guaranteed to suck.

    Angelos BBQ Salami sandwich on dark rye is the stuff of BBQ legend.

  5. I have at least been telling myself at least we lost to a really great team. If you turds were a bunch of pretenders who squeezed through I will be pissed.


    Then I’d suggest you drink heavily cause Vandy is going to smoke them. Vandy has their entire staff rested while the Omadawgs shot their wad with their only good starter and reliever on Sat night.

    Horns just got unlucky when they couldn’t win Game 1 and had to work their way back thru the losers bracket only to face a rested Bednard again.

  6. Texas had the pitching depth, defense and some clutch hitting to be one of the outliers that made it out of the losers bracket to the finals. So close but no cigar.

    It’s a testament to this team how close they came despite the rain delays other shit that got thrown at them.

  7. Wish we could’ve faced this guy

    No shit. This is why a game 1 win is so important in the CWS. You lose and you have to fight your way back thru the losers bracket only to face the same ace that beat you in game one.

    It’s the unwritten rule in the CWS - win game one at all costs. Texas is well aware of this after so many appearances in Omaha.
