  1. No kidding, when did he turn into such a little bitch? Complaining about the bounce on 17? WTF?
  2. Does Klatt even know he's covering golf?
  3. Waco is Austin if it had not grown and instead of UT there was some church affiliated school, and the capital was some other city.
  4. Nice call. Followed you on that one. Currently sweating out the Rangers +150 at Boston. Only game I like later today is Phils -129 to take the series from AZ.
  5. Maeda looks super sharp, gives up homer to Ohtani on the same pitch he just struck out Trout looking. Falls apart. Baseball, man.
  6. I've been paying less attention to the starting pitchers because of the way the game has evolved. Obviously when there's an "opener" that changes things but also, with very few exceptions, starters seem to be going fewer and fewer innings. I rarely bet a bad team with a good starter, e.g. Bumgarner. I haven't watched enough this year to know in detail, who's got a good bullpen and who doesn't, but by this time of the year, the better teams must have decent bullpens. I stick with good teams vs bad and follow series, regardless of who's starting. End up betting a lot of faves that way. For example, AZ beat Philly at Philly last night. Philly is the better team, at home, I expect them to win this series, so I'm going Philly -130 tonight, despite Arrieta having a 1.43 WHIP. In previous years, I would rarely bet on a starter with a WHIP that high, even a seasoned, successful vet like Arrieta. Similarly, I don't see a lousy team like LAA taking two from LAD, so I'm going LAD -160. I also like TB -155. They were flying under the radar some but the lines have adjusted I think. Same with Min. Can't go Min tonight, odds are just too high at -190.
  7. I was waiting for someone to point that out especially given similar criticism often leveled at UT.
  8. Saw Hamilton. It seemed to me like the vast majority of folks were just waiting for the first song to end so they could leap to their feet to give a standing ovation. Say what you will, I actually thought it was pretty good and entertaining and I got my money's worth. But at no time did I ever think it deserved a standing ovation.
  9. Actually, they should do something like a free throw shooting contest or who can throw a baseball the farthest.
  10. all that running around and it's a 46 point quarter.
  11. At the very least she could have thrown in a sixer.
  12. Mina dead. I suspect suicide. https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/05/29/breaking-news/body-of-missing-maui-hiker-noah-mina-found/
  13. AZ at Hawaii should be interesting for the sole reason that they are both planning some type of tribute to Dick Tomey.
  14. Did it autocorrect its to it’s in your thread title?
  15. I did that and it was a total PITA to get working. Also, the "clear code" function is totally hit or miss. Sometimes it clears it, sometimes not. I was hopeful that a more expensive model will work better but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Was gonna wait until the light comes on again.
  16. Yeah I actually have this programmed as the first selection in my favorites. So hit favorites, hit the wheel and the camera comes on. When I get my lazy ass off the computer I'll check it out. So like 6-7 hours and a gig of porn from now
  17. That's not my experience in my GLE 350. Unbeknownst to me at the time, while pulling out of a parking lot, the dog hit the manual button which is on the console, and put me in manual. I couldn't get it out of M1 and I kinda froze up and forgot that the paddles would shift it. No matter how fast I went, it would not shift up, I'm sure the RPM's went up fairly high, but I didn't actually look at the tach. The sound of the engine made me take my foot off the pedal. Anyway, because I didn't know the dog had hit the switch, the only way I could get it back into auto was to turn the engine off and back on again. I looked down at the dog and he had his paw on the manual button.
  18. Timely subject, at least for me. I had an old pair of wired, noise cancelling, over ear headphones from Sharper Image - that's how old they were - that lasted about 10 years. The band on those broke so I went with a cheap pair of wired Audiovox noise cancelling, for like $75. Those lasted like a year before breaking. So I figured I'm never going cheap again. Did some research and about to pull the trigger on Bose QC 35 ii, been waiting for those to go on sale, but they never do so looking at $349. They have bluetooth but can be wired as well. Was also considering the QC 25, but those don't have bluetooth but also are like $200 cheaper. So if Bose bluetooth sucks, I'll go with the QC 25. What model Sony you guys talking about?
  19. man how bad is it gonna be to lose to a horse without a jockey.
  20. Jordan needs to drink a beer. That always works for me. Of course, he will need to keep drinking until the round ends.
  21. I haven't seen anyone play like this since Tiger in his prime. I mean, you just knew he was gonna save par on 7. No doubt.
  22. Um, what am I missing here?
