  1. I’m sure it’s probably already been said, but this ump is the absolute worst that I can remember seeing. Will be interesting to see his report card tomorrow. He cost the Astros at least 1 run with the 3-0 strike call on Yordan that was 3-4 inches low right before Tucker’s double in the corner. If the box is right, this ump is consistently wrong.
  2. Looks to me like everyone has learned to pitch him in under the hands so that he can’t get his arms extended. Granted, I never really watched him before this year, so don’t know what he used to do with inside pitches. Dude needs to figure it out soon, or he’s just going to be a black hole in the middle of the lineup.
  3. Just give me someone that can throw a goddamn strike.
  4. I just made some Buckboard Bacon out of an 11 pound, .88 per pound pork butt that I picked up at H‑E‑B. Filleted out the bone, then sliced it horizontally to create 2 pieces about 2 to 2.5 inches thick. Dry brined for 2 weeks with Morton’s Tender Quick and brown sugar. Then rinsed, dried, covered with coarse black pepper, and placed uncovered on a rack in the refrigerator for a day to develop the pellicle. Smoked for 3 hours on my ZGrill pellet grill smoke setting (160*) for 3 hours, bumped it to 180 for an hour, finished it at 225* to an internal temp of 145*. Let cool on a rack, then into the refrigerator for a couple of days before slicing and packaging. I did cut a few slices after smoking for a sample and fried them up crispy. It’s not fatty like bacon, much meatier. I like it a lot.
  5. I think that the point is - you bitch and moan, ad nauseam, about the same shit every year. Incompetent GMs, you have better ideas. Yet we end up in the LCS and/or World Series every year. Maybe let’s give these guys the benefit of the doubt on April 16, for Christ’s sake.
  6. Suck it, punk https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/05/sports/baseball/houston-astros-world-series.html
  7. Yep, I’m sure you’ve got it all figured out. Let’s just hope the Russkies don’t read Surly. Otherwise, the offensive is dead on arrival. Edited to say, I was being a dick, you might be right. But I hope the people in charge use some imagination to create an offensive that can’t be stopped. Wherever that may take them.
  8. Absolutely 1980 Astros was my greatest disappointment. First time in the playoffs, they’d always been crummy since inception, and you have prime Nolan Ryan pitching in the 8th with a 5-2 lead, win and you go to the World Series. My young mind was blown with the possibility of the World Series right in front of us. And then it all fell apart. Complete and utter devastation for young Victor. Nothing comes close for me.
  9. Photo of Jules giving Dylan Disu his wallet back.
  10. Live look at the Manhattan dugout
  11. You need Polynesian ties to do that, don’t you know?
  12. That is Surly perfection. The absolute best video clip response possible. Bravo
  13. And Bob's your uncle.
  14. Cheers to you and hope they get y’all energized soon.
  15. Interesting that they still rely on reporting. Here in the Houston area, Centerpoint seems to know right away how many are down. We lose electricity, go to their website 5 minutes later, zoom in, and get a pretty accurate count of how many customers are without power in your area. Used to call, but could never get through. Then discovered their outage map and realized that they already knew.
  16. So, a big defensive lineman that destroys people, with a handful of minor offers, pops up out of nowhere two weeks before signing day. Never on anyone’s radar, then we offer.
  17. Bumping this because I’ve been over served and yesterday was the second anniversary of my sweet wife’s death. God, I miss her.
  18. Yeah, this whole white knight shtick doesn’t smell right to me. The OP doth protest too much, methinks.
  19. No, no, no. What you really want is his bacon recipe.
  20. Stripes, duh
