  1. Fourth of July homemade biscuits with sausage gravy. ‘Merica
  2. Yeah, I’ve got to hand it to Pierce. He recognized the hot hand and decided to ride it till the end. So many coaches or managers seem to have a hard stop at 100 pitches. Or even at approaching 100 pitches. I understand trying to protect your asset, but this late in the season, these guys are plenty capable of going until they aren’t effective anymore. And, by God, was LBJ effective. It would have been criminal to have taken him out of the game while he was still mowing them down. I was worried that Pierce would pull LBJ after 7, then after 8, because of the pitch count. As I’m sure many others were. Good coaching decision by David Pierce to let his pitcher that was in control keep pitching.
  3. Okay, I’ve been an avid baseball fan for over 50 years and never knew of that ordinary effort nuance regarding a throw. One is never too old to learn. Just seems silly to me that Maton got charged for that earned run on Bregman’s throwing error, said throw having handily beaten the runner.
  4. I don’t know how they gave Drury a hit on that play. He was nowhere near to beating it out. Should have been an error on either Bregman or Abreu. Both runs should be unearned.
  5. Only 2 hits tonight, including a double into the left field corner. Currently batting .294. That’s all.
  6. I’m truly sorry y’all are having to deal with this. Best wishes for your Dad, your Mom, and all of your family. Regarding your Mom, I totally understand her mindset. Delusion and/or denial was the coping mechanism that allowed me to somewhat keep my sanity while I was caring for my wife as she was fighting a losing battle with cancer. After all, she was being treated by the best in the world - MD Anderson. They can fix everybody, right? That’s the mindset I had, and I suspect your Mom has. To think otherwise, well, you just don’t allow your mind to go there. It’s too terrible to contemplate while there is still a chance that things can get better. I’m pulling for y’all that things can get better.
  7. That’s well done. I found this paragraph to be particularly poignant: “One doesn’t teeter and totter without gaining some sense of where the fulcrum rests. To know that place and still transfer weight to one side, for any or all of the reasons, is its own burden. One I hope has been lifted.”
  8. Trigger warning for @Wulaw Horn
  9. I bought this ZGrills smoker about a year ago. Very solid. The PID controller keeps the temps rock steady. That was my main criteria when I was shopping for a pellet grill. Read hundreds of individual reviews on different brands, this ZGrill was consistently rated high, with the controller being a big part of that. Fit and finish is good, as is customer service. I was looking at the comparably sized RecTeq, but it was almost $500 more at the time. Ive been very satisfied.
  10. Yeah. A bunch of Surlyites posting walls of unrealistic speculation, each one trying to convince the others of the righteousness of their own particular brand of speculation. Same as it ever was.
  11. Oh, they asked. Good God, that answer tho
