  1. It's still a race course. It's the cars that need to change. It would still be difficult to pass, as it always has been, but some passing would get done. But with these heavy, huge pigs, it's never gonna happen. When the cars were smaller and lighter, there was some passing and the ability of the cars to change direction even in medium and slow-speed corners was astonishing. That's all gone tho, because we can't have nice things.
  2. That was a perfect example of why they need to penalize positions rather than time. Such bullshit. Glad he did get a penalty tho.
  3. Yep. People are just abusing the fuck out of it and getting away with it.
  4. Oh, absolutely. 100%. And the way they allow the guard to extend way past the elbow is fucking bullshit too. It increases the chance of getting hit.
  5. My ump buddy also said they knmow people are doing it and have been trying to get on top of it but nothing's worked. Said they'd have to go to automatic review of every HBP to get it under control.
  6. I was texting my buddy who is a D2 ump, & said one way to slow all this plate-crowding down a whole lot would be to just ban the elbow guards. He responded that he was literally typing the same thing to me when he received my text. it would change everything.
  7. They don't look like they're moving into the pitch because they're starting with their elbow outside the batter's box in the first place. Same shit Kentucky did.It's ufcking bullshit. Then when they review it, there's no way for them to make that call. All they see is that the guy didn't move into it.
  8. 100% the track should punish mistakes and should instantly, automatically penalize track limits violations. Yeah Max is a fucking dog.
  9. Tally up uno mas save for the halo. At least very likely a save imho.
  10. At ABIA, just boarded our flight to Mexico. While we were waiting to board, the PA announcer comes on and in his most sarcastic Texas drawl says ... "Attention passengers in the terminal, we need the owner of the Tesla Cybertruck who left their vehicle parked sideways across two departure dropoff lanes to return to the vehicle before it is towed". That may be the most 'Cybertruck driver' thing ever. The only way the PA announcer could have made it sound more sarcastic is if he had included words like 'MAGA dumbass' or 'Mr. Musk'.

  12. As soon as I saw this story I sent it to my wife's cousin (no pics), because ... she was drunk af one night after partying in Austin 20+ years ago. When the partying ended, she and her friends returned to her apartment complex only to find the gate broken. Couldn't get the car in. No problem. They parked the car and started climbing the fence to get to her apt. In her drunk-af-ness, she slipped after getting one leg over the fence, managing to impale herself on one of those spikes, with - get this - the spike entering through the back of her knee and exiting the front. And there she was stuck like that until Fire and EMS showed up. 100% true csb.
  13. nsiap ... Holy shit. This is so fucking amazing. Watch til the end for the extra lulz. MTG subpoenas the guy and then fabricates bs about him. Sooooo busted, and her reaction is priceless. Thanks Rep. Stansbury for calling her out.
  14. Yeah, but is it ok to yell "MOVIE" in a crowded firehouse?
  15. So is he a Cubs fan or South Side? Personally, I prefer the White Sox over the Cubs, but I'll take a Cubs fan over a Yankees fan any day. Fuck the Yankees. And btw, fuck the Dodgers. Because fuck the Dodgers. And fuck the Yankees. Duh.
  16. And how they wouldn't let him wear #2!! !1 ! !
  17. Better not let that turd anywhere near him!
  18. Maybe not, really. This could be an intentional move to counter our current, uh, "leadership".
  19. Yeah I've been next to Fernando, Lewis, Kovaleinen, Massa, Jackie, Emmo, Ant Davidson, Checo, etc. Just tiny humans, even Kimi R. A few are normal size, like Button, Bruno Senna, Webber, Gro, Hulk, Schumi, Brendan Hartley, George, Ocon, etc, but most are pretty much jockey-sized. Rossi and Marquez are itty bitty too.
  20. As I said a year or so ago, Piastri is a machine, in the Alonso mold. Basically a human racing computer behind the wheel, always calculating. He's the next great one imho.
  21. Yep. Based on what we've seen from Lawson so far, we could write volumes about what he doesn't understand about racecraft and physics. L1T1 was a perfect example. Once he stuck the car in where & when he did, he was just headed to the scene of the collision. Doohan was already committed. It was impossible for him to avoid Lawson. Been saying this for a while. They need to penalize positions rather than time. True, except this time the years of progress weren't developed away. They were simply thrown out the window by a rule clarification in response to a big team or two crying about it.
  22. Time to check some bats? Holy shit.
