  1. Yep. And that's fine. Few can do it. I don't understand why he won't give it up. It's just idiotic.
  2. I'm just amazed that as soon as we get behind, our passing game is reduced to nothing but 20+ yard passes. Even on like 2nd & 5. What in the actual fuck?
  3. I coached Cam Dickey for 4 or 5 years of summer baseball up til his graduation from Crockett. I guess what I'm trying to say here is "You're welcome, Tceh fans".
  4. I'd describe him more as 'confused & uninformed'. But then, I guess that's how I'd also describe most MAGAts.
  5. Yeah my only objection when it came up was that Correa's arm would be wasted there ... and I didn't know that about Paredes at 1B. Sounds great to me. I love, love, love what Paredes brings to the team. If someone needs to go from the infield, it has to be Walker imho. Great glove and great at the plate when he's hot, but he's too streaky. And as an aside, man, I really missed watching Correa throw the ball. What an otherworldly cannon. Just effortless.
  6. Agree with this ... it's about more than aesthetics for me as well. Re: the Rangers' stadium vs the Astros, I'm an Astros fan, but Daikin really doesn't do much for me. Neither would the Rangers' new place, from what I can tell about it. Seems like some of the new parks are like shopping malls that happen to have baseball fields in 'em imho.
  7. So in MLB ... been to the Astrodome, Daikin, old Rangers ballpark with the steel bleachers (dump), the Ballpark at Arlington, old Padres stadium, Dodger Stadium, Fenway, Wrigley, Kaufman in KC (dump). For me personally, nothing compares to Fenway. It's just pure magic. A baseball time machine, and it's just how a baseball stadium should look, feel, sound, and smell imho. I need to get back there soon.
  8. Review should have a time limit in every sport of, say, 45 seconds. If it's not obvious enough to change the call in that amount of time, then the call on the field stands. The way it is now is beyond idiotic.
  9. Too soon, man. Too soon.
  10. nsiap ... A buddy of mine was ptiching the idea of trading Walker and putting Correa at 1B. I'm sure he has the ability to make that transition, but who knows. It would allow Paredes to play 3B, so that would be aight imho. ETA: derp. responded to the wrong post. Meant to respond to @hornmpa96's post below.
  11. Me, too. Big, swinging balls on that dude.
  12. Yeah I can watch it for about 10 minutes, then I start gettin' antsy & bored.
  13. Looks like only one support series for this USGP ...
  14. From the Autosport board:
  15. ... and obtw, hadn't seen this mentioned, but the anti-beard crusade is clearly aimed at black men, who often get a special dispensation re: shaving due to folliculitis.
  16. Ah, excellent! I read it the other way, as if the reminders were coming from Whiskey Pete & Turnip.
  17. Reminders of their oath to the Constitution of the United States of America? Hopefully that backfires on Trump & Hegseth.
  18. So, he's the Rockets'version of Jerruh? Got it.
  19. Yeah, I see these fuckers in Mx too. They might as well wear a hat that says "Fuck Mexico". That's a truly special kind of stupid/asshole.
  20. Shot this out at Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige over the weekend. Even amongst all the 'necks at the dirt track, this guy was still the only one we saw wearing anything remotely political.
  21. Just ran across this interesting reddit post on "Pass the Bottle Pete's" military career mediocrity, from 6 months ago. Army folks feel free to weigh in re: this guy's insights. Obligatory: nsiap.
  22. My kid was telling me that Max recruited some online sim racer kid as his teammate for that race. Pretty wild. I think we'll probably see Alonso back in endurance racing before he's done driving. At least I hope so. Some of his endurance drives have been pretty epic. The night stint at Le Mans that turned the race back to Toyota, the rain stint at Daytona, coming from behind to win, etc. If he ever goes back to Daytona or Indy, I am 100% going to be there for it. Maybe even Le Mans. We were talking the other day about the potential for a Le Mans driver lineup that included Alonso and Max on the same team. Then I threw Lewis in there as well. I dunno if Lewis has any desire to do endurance races, but can you just imagine those three in a top car?
  23. Slaughter and Escarpment? That's the last place I saw one, too, on a white guy probably in his late 70s. He was healthy and clean cut tho. Probably about a year ago. /csb
  24. LOL yeah, she's massive alright ... and if she has a big podcast, well that's just another indicator of how bad the enshittening has gotten. She's unlistenable for anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together.
  25. nsiap ... Had to look up Heather McMahan, the stupid MC chick who was on the PA chanting "Fuck You, Rory" & later 'resigned'. Most likely she was told to resign or be fired. She's a has-been/never-was actress/comedian (as in 'former actress and shitty, unlistenable, annoying af comedian). I can't imagine how or why she was ever given that MC job. She says ‘It’s a Little Salem-Witch-Esque’. LOL. [ot]She has a YT channel with like 18K followers. In her latest shitty video, she rips Texans for saying Texas isn't the south. LOL ... tell me you've never lived in Texas without actually saying it. I've lived in Florida, Tennessee twice, Virginia, California, Washington, and Texas. Do parts of Texas share similarities with the south? Sure (mostly in East Texas for obvious reasons). But Texas isn't the south. Mayyyybe East Texas could be loosely considered part of the South, but beyond that, no. Just no. Why are so many southerners so upset by this concept? Fuck those goobers.[/ot]
