    Need one for a wedding on September 7th. Yes, some dickface planned his wedding on the same day we are playing meat chicken. I’m annoyed but this deal helps. Thanks for posting, op. 

    Spend four times as much on the gift as you planned and decline the RSVP.

    The only way we stop this shit is if you idiots stop going to fall weddings. 

    If the groom is a Texas Ex I can tell you right now that marriage is doomed.. Tell him you'll go to his next one.

  2. This is an easy decision. Recruiting has been a disaster. The only reason our bats seem like good pickups is because we see it juxtaposed against the absolutely terrible talent on the mound.

    We're Texas. Our recruiting should never be based on a foundation of projects and "might be". That's fucking Tulane thinking. 

    It's time to get someone back in here who is relentlessly pursuing greatness.

    Celebrating xbh and energizing the dugout is objectively good. The idea that this is some new thing that has the potential to start fights is udderly regarded

    Any team that would get in a fight over that shit is soft in the head

    5.1 IP, 3 ER against a scrub pitcher on a night with the wind blowing out. Why? Because he didn't walk anyone.

    Not to make an excuse for this shit show but I thought KSU had a nasty Friday night guy.

    Rotation could be salty once Ray returns. Webb, Snell, Ray, Harrison, Hicks will be a solid 1 thru 5 if that ends up being the rotation. No clue what to expect out of the bats other than it will look demonstrably different thanks to the additions of Soler, Lee and Chapman. I had tepid expectations leading into the off-season, but I like what the front office managed to get done despite continuing to whiff on the top FAs.

    Listened to a podcast last night previewing the season. Guy was higher on Lee than anyone else I have heard since the signing. I don't want to drink the Kool aid, but it looks so good!!

  6. I think last year's thread had maybe 15 posts, but there's a thread for the fucking 2024 Tigers so might as well start one up for the Giants too.

    If things go well, the season could stay interesting into September. But they're counting on a bunch of "if"s which is never a good thing. 

    Fuck the Dodgers.

    unfortunately, weather looks shitty this weekend.  

    Yeah, same thing last year when I was there. At least it shouldn't rain for opening day. And at least it doesn't rain inside bars.

  8. Looking forward to a long weekend in SD. Going to Petco for opening day (go Giants). First time at that park.

    Staying in Gaslamp Weds/Thurs, in PB Fri/Sat.

    I will see if I can sustain myself solely on beer and tacos for four days. I have trained all my life for this.

    For tournament games, it is insanely easy to "upgrade" your tickets by moving into sections vacated by teams that just played.  Just pay attention during the game to see where they are sitting.  I would get the cheapest nosebleed seats available and then move down to better seats.  For the S16 and E8 games last year, we were basically on the 3rd row at the FT line.

    I went to the regional in Ft Worth a couple of years ago. Upper lever tickets, saw an empty row in the Marquette section after the U12 timeout in the first half. Went down there and never had to move.

    Listening to the Marquette fans talk about Shaka as they got crushed by UNC was an added bonus.

    Keep carrying water for an asshole....it's well known people don't like working with Pierce because of how he is. I'd wager that also affects him in portal recruiting....it all just can't be NIL

    I have heard this said repeatedly and I have never heard any specifics. Not saying it isn't true, it's just odd that no one seems to know anything else than that oft repeated headline.
