  1. Osuna needs to be fixed soon. The HR last night and the Jake catch would have been a HR in most ballparks or at least a double off the wall.
  2. Pennant run in May? Give me a 45 year old Harold Bains or Edgar Martinez any time.
  3. There isn't a food in the world worth a 4:45 minute line wait. 30 minutes tops, unless I'm at a wait list for a restaurant.
  4. Thanks for the invite. They have a pretty good brunch. I never did try the Sunday supper. It's one of those places are really enjoyed, but rarely went.
  5. I was more impressed by White's 6 inch vertical
  6. Blame it on me. Last batter I told my friend Verlander hasn't given up his home run yet.
  7. Season 3, titled Barry is Dead Mostly kidding but they could have just ended the show there. Maybe do a spinoff. Hank befriends Fuches. Sharpshooter gets pissed off at Hank and a new revilary begins. Fonze finds out Fuches connections and teams up with sharpshooter. Fonze is now an asshole. Sally goes into porn.
  8. Barry taking out all of those guys was unrealistic. I was kind of hoping that guy was going to take Barry out with a single shot to the head. Sharpshooter feels bad and Season 2 ends; then see what develops season 3.
  9. That sucks and all, but how can you blame the mayor for flood that devastated your neighborhood? That wasn't Sylvester Turner's decision to release those flood gates. Taxes? You pay property taxes or states taxes. You are going to get taxed either way. Again, that is not Turner's decision.
  10. That situation does indeed suck. I'm not sure who to contact to expedite that service.
  11. West Memorial is the burbs. Sullhorn just stated my case.
  12. who reads the dailydot?
  13. Tilman Fertitta determined to do ‘whatever it takes’ to improve Rockets
  14. Can you tell me where the money for flood control is going? You are also telling us Lina Hidalgo decided to divert money after months on the job? What about the trash service have you not liked? There were issues with the recycling trucks because most were out of service due to mechanical problems. That has been resolved.
  15. He's done OK, not great but not bad. Most of that bitching is from the suburbs and because he has a "D" next to his name. Same with the new County Judge.
  16. ^^^exactly. Most people who voted for Prob B did so without any research or blindly voted because firefighters are good people who risk their lives. Firefighters gathered more than 32000 signatures on petitions, so that's how it go on the ballot.
  17. This is what was on the ballot. https://ballotpedia.org/Houston,_Texas,_Proposition_B,_City_Firefighters_Charter_Amendment_(November_2018) Back in the early early 2000's HPD agreed to raises in exchange for pension and benefit cuts, while firefighters rejected the raises and continued to bulk up their pension. This lead to the 25 percent pay gap between the two entities. In 2017 Houston was going bankrupt paying the firefighter pensions, so Mayor Turner went to the Texas Legislature and they approved the city's pension reform plans. Firefighters voted down 4% pay increase in 2014. A 9.5 percent raise over three years 9.5 percent salary increase was proposed earlier in 2018. How the hell is a city supposed to find $100 million dollars without layoffs? Does HFD deserve more pay now that their pensions have been reduced? yes Should it cost Houston $100 million a year when it wasn't budgeted? no Are both the city and HFD union being assholes? yes
  18. I think spystud13 might be that OCD\borderline asperger Unix engineer who works next to me
  19. Cool. You just didn't point that out on post #100 What is considered a short trip? I walk when possible because I hate driving. I have a short 2 mile commute to work. I bike when the weather is nice. I will use a scooter when it's hot.
  20. Yes. This was your response earlier
  21. Would you rather walk over a mile when it's 98 degrees outside, Uber/Lyft, or just grab a scooter and pay $1.75? The scooter will get you your destination in 5 minutes.
  22. Morey has had a chance for 12 years . I'll give him some slack because he has to face the Warriors in the playoffs every year, but it's still his job to build a team and playoff system to beat them. His days should be numbered. He's had some great players in the past, but he seems intent on trading them away for assets. D'antoni is looking to be what he was in Phoenix - a hall of fame regular season coach. His teams are too soft in the playoffs.
  23. Well Fertitta has only owned the Rockets for a couple of season. I would say this is situation more on Daryl Morey.
