  1. I’m not talking about just this one pitcher or this series. I’m talking about the game overall. One player has way too much influence on the outcomes of too many games in a season.
  2. This sport sucks. With one pitcher, any team can make their way to the championship. It’s too dependent on one player. Imagine if a Cy Young pitcher in MLB could pitch every game. I wish they limited innings pitched by a pitcher so that the overall games would be more interesting.
  3. Thanks for the references. If he’s challenged to work, any others would also help.
  4. Wow. What a gullible rube.
  5. They actually play the audio of the apology on The Ticket radio in Dallas every once in awhile, whenever someone has to apologize about something. Hahahahahah
  6. The calendar turns to the month of June. The spring flowers have long past bloomed. April showers have sprinkled the landscape, refreshing the wildlife and plants, providing them much needed nourishment. The sun’s warmth lightly tans the skin. And goddam Texas best case class forecasts go up in flames and Satya emerges from his winter slumber to slather doom and gloom all over the recruiting thread. Rinse repeat. Like clockwork.
  7. On those Facebook snake groups the consensus is often wrong. Look for what the moderator says. They are the gold standard.
  8. We got hit in Leander by the hail storm. I was out of town. My next door neighbor had a roofing guy from Linear Roofing come out. Said the roof needed replacement and there was damage to the fence, downspouts, gutters, and window glazing. I went ahead and had him inspect ours too since I wasn’t there to find my own roofing company. He found similar results. We have a 3,300 sq ft 2 story house and rough WAG he thought it would cost $30-35k (just the roof) to replace the roof with Certainteed Landmark shingles. Does anyone have experience with Linear? Other roofing company recommendations in Austin? Thoughts about the WAG cost? We have a 2% deductible for hail. Ouch.
  9. No chance it’s a coachwhip?
  10. There ain’t nothing humble about his brag at all. More like a douche brag.
  11. I think we all know exactly why the alien sightings have stopped. Alien travel vacation season ended.
  12. Come on dude. What the hell?
  13. Guy here overseas with a #43 tatood to his thigh. Hes between 35-55 years old. Who is he?
  14. Wasn’t the Dallas front office called the best in the league by peers? That is high praise. It seems the problem the Stars have, besides the occasional flaky Otter game, is that the team fell into three problematic categories this year: 1 over the hill guys - Benn, Seguin, Duchene 2 not yet to prime guys - Harley, Johnston, Back, Etc 3. injured prime guys - Robertson, Miro, Roope, etc So did injuries do them in? Not enough time together with Mikko? Do they just need to let the young guys mature a bit and push out a few of the olds? Is DeBoer over performing with less talent, or underperforming with a lot of talent? Doesn’t seem like they need to tear it down, but need to figure out the right tweak, not the wrong one. I thought Mikko was it, because of the problems they had on offense before his arrival, but so far that hasn’t worked out that great. The Dallas offense at times seems plodding, and on defense they are often fighting off 2:1 and 3:2.
  15. Your daughter relied on seller inspections? Bad move hoss.
  16. You know what they say; baby hands, baby….
  17. My daughter’s Russian friends just got back from Alabama. They were deeply confused when their waitress in an Alabama diner was fawning over how awesome Putin is. Seriously. This is how stupid these people are.
  18. Because your on miles, is AA not comping you a hotel?
  19. Since this whole thread started with a reference to Osama Bin Laden, it’s an interesting fact that Obama approved the Bin Laden raid knowing that it could fail just like the Jimmy Carter hostage raid, costing him re-election. Defense Secretary Gates and VP Biden both recommended not moving forward with the raid. But Obama did it anyway. That’s real leadership. He put his political future aside and did what was best for the country. What a novel concept.
  20. The United States of America has always been imperfect, more imperfect than many of us ever realized because of our upbringing within the country. We've always been fed our view of the world, instead of other's view of us. But, most of the time the U.S. has eventually done the right thing, and that made the country respected enough around the world to become the world leader. But all of that progress and reputation is under attack by politicians and a President who have foregotten what made this country successful. The old saying that a reputation is built over years (or 200+ years), but torn down way faster is very applicable to the current situation. What makes it even more gut-wrenching is that 40-47% of the country either doesn't understand this, or doesn't care. It's embarrassing travelling internationally right now. It's sometimes embarassing being from Texas right now. But, I remain hopeful that intelligent, charismatic, un-indoctrinated leaders will gain back control of our government institutions and insert integrity, honesty, critical-thinking, level-headedness, and morality back into these institutions. I don't believe it is as simple as Republicans/Trump bad, Democrats good. We have problems in both parties. And there are good people in those parties, although I have to admit that right now finding any in the Republican party is very difficult. If there are any, they're cowering from the orange moron makes them currently invisible. Similarly, we have few Democratic leaders making an impact. But, eventually I'm hopeful new blood will emerge and salvage this mess, in concert with major initiatives to expose and lessen the effectiveness of disinformation, which is really the root cause of the problem right now.
  21. Robertson had his stick held and three other guys didn’t get back. I want to see what the hell was going on there. Something wasn’t right.
  22. I’d really like to see highlights with a broader perspective of the field, like maybe from the Goodyear blimp.
  23. all pics must include the name. I can't handle the anxiety of spending precious seconds trying to recognize every player.
  24. OU Recruiting 2026: Intentional Grounding.
  25. Holy shit, I hadn’t been paying much attention to the softball playoffs and just was looking up the World Series bracket. While I knew A&M lost in the regional, I didn’t realize they were #1 in the country. Bawaaaaa.
