  1. aggy bets $76MM +400 on Jimbo getting fired, then fires him
  2. here's hoping we crush their souls again from jump and Smolz can talk about how great their fans are and lament that we can't play this series 9 more times 'cause the snakes would clearly win them all. Maybe throw out a random superlative for the Orioles while he's at it.
  3. They got him a wheelbarrow to carry his balls around. Back was tightening up
  4. Rangers have a slight advantage given that some our relievers (assuming they aren't sucking) can go multiple innings and theirs cannot for most part. I am parroting crap i head on Ticket with Dave Raymond saying that Dback bullpen is mostly comprised of 1 inning dudes. Yes, Sborz has been a cool customer just chewing away on that bubble gum. Hope he is ok.
  5. yeah, was this like a 'Make a Wish' bad ump edition? some headscratchers for both teams yes, i know time is limited in all the SC highlights, but they don't show the pitch where Leclerc got squeezed but only the one where the batter was called back on strike 2 which was a little outside.
  6. most snowboard rentals are absolute garbage; the bindings all suck. i have had my own board and boots, but after getting the new step in bindings (and boots) they are a game changer for an old like me to not have to flop down then push up everytime out of the lift getting strapped in.
  7. tv play by play guy was on radio (ticket) this morning and said Pfaadt likes to give up the long ball. Rangers hit 3 off him earlier in the year.
  8. Checking in from sec 208. LFG!
  9. Damn! So hyped up now. Wife pulled the cell phone flop and got tix for tomorrow.
  10. there were kids in my freshman class at Texas that just thought cattle were 'pets' for ranchers and not slaughtered for meat. like legit surprised.
  11. let's get this back on track... your favorite band and genre of music is complete garbage
  12. the D got me yelling at the TV for the first effing game. seems like they went under EVERY screen and just hoped the guy missed a wide open uncontested 3.
  13. answered my question, thanks
  14. right, but the 'current business model' started with Uncle Sam bailing out the automakers and having the workers acquiesce to lower or capped wages. The automakers said thanks, then went on about the much mentioned stock buybacks etc.. to the tune of $25B of gross profit (Ford's #) this year. So yes, if you pick this specific point in time and change nothing else, having to pay higher wages somewhat changes the equation for Ford, but it's not like they are teetering on the brink of going in the red and this in the tipping point that will doom them. we only seem to care about keeping capitalism and free markets real when it benefits corporations. again, it's a neat trick that seemingly unaffected Americans white-knight big corporations and feel sympathy about them having to pay their employees more (who are subsequently demonized as lazy and not worth the wages). Like how a lot of Americans vote to give ultra wealthy tax breaks and against giving needy people 'handouts' or health insurance. Let's make America great again by going back to the 70's tax policies that saw the top bracket pay something like 80%.
  15. maybe we get the 'backup QB catches fire' this week and mudhole them. That will have to be enough to overcome 'shitty opponent offense sets multiple records' against us. cannot wait to see which trueism prevails.
  16. They had really talked themselves into thinking that Bama game was a for sure W after seeing Texas beat them and Milroe get benched/re-instated.
  17. where does the hate come from? WTF do you care how much someone else makes? please don't come back with "it raises the cost for everyone on cars". That could be said for just about every industry and we pretty much know that corps are not going to pass on ANY savings to the consumer, but just use any declines in worker salary for profit boosting and stock buy backs. Mfgs have milked the fuck out of 'supply chain' crisis and greedlflation to raise prices and keep them there.
  18. getting too hyped, like caffeine, is a sin and is to be avoided so the SM team like to ride that line between somewhat hyped and goofy.
  19. switch to baked edibles, imo
  20. they would need to go to secret 'whale school' and learn how to properly dump and accumulate to maximize joe-trader pain and work in concert with the exchanges to liquidate public high-leverage positions first.
  21. it's good. you can tell he kinda has to actively work at it to not slip into deep voice Jerrah.
  22. yeah, it's not fair to only view a worker's strike in the lens of 'is this good for the economy?' but not view all the other things corps do that are 100% 'good for the corp' and only good for the economy if you believe in trickle down economics. But it's been a neat trick that large corps have gotten to paint the workers as the bogeyman in most cases just wanting to damage fabric of America with their demands.
  23. i believe Rumlin racked up another DUI last week, so advantage aggys
  24. Lol at Lowe 'thanking' his teammates for knocking the starting pitcher out before he even had a chance to bat thus wasting all the prep work he did
