  1. How can none of these motherfuckers play first base?!? Jesus Christ
  2. Holy shit Arrighetti looked good last night -- command and really good raw stuff. If we can get the bottom half to contribute anywhere near league average, keep Breg healthy (i think, with his infield background, he can be good at first -- people don't realize how much a good first baseman helps -- we lose a lot of outs with Singleton and Yainer with their shitty footwork and not understanding how to stretch at the right time to get the most extension on close plays), keep the bullpen going, get and/or keep key starters healthy, and maybe get Tucker back at some point we can win the AL and go deep in the WS. Those stats Fox was showing last night about our performance since the bad start were eye opening -- especially considering Espada's dumbassery, the bottom half sucking, and injuries.
  3. I stopped listening to Erin in the morning bc his sidekick was so bad. I've never heard of Noah but will give it a shot. E isn't great but he's fine and there's something about listening to local live radio covering Texas sports on the drive in in the morning that gives me comfort.
  4. Fucking meyers 5 men left on in first 2 abs. So so predictable. Amazing we are where we are. Espada is such a fucking idiot
  5. and trotting Caleb what's his name out there in the 10th is indefensible. Scott, Ort, King -- any of them would have been better
  6. Gonna go crazy watching pena chase those sliders over and over and over again. Jesus
  7. Pretty sure that's in Royal's old house over off of 29th. It was for sale a couple of years ago and we looked at it. It hadn't been remodeled in decades and was pretty run down but it was really cool walking through and thinking about all of the shit that went down over the years.
  8. the Ritz at Dana Point is awesome.
  9. what the fuck is going on with Tucker? every game they give an 'injury update' and just show him sitting there eating seeds and say something like 'Tucker did some on field drills today but we're still not expecting to see him until the second week of August' but they never talk about the actual injury or what exactly needs to heal or recover. Did he break his leg? Is it some deep bone bruise that just won't heal? Unless it was actually a break (which I don't think they've ever said) it just seems crazy that he's been out this long and it seems really weird that they just kind of glaze over it on the broadcasts.
  10. The area around brevard cashiers and highlands is awesome. Highlands is a cool little town with a few nice hotels and some good restaurants. There are a ton of great hikes very close to town. Beautiful drive from Asheville. Tons of great golf courses. Very green and lush. Highlands is 4500 ft. High of low 70s in the summer.
  11. Was the place to be in lake Jackson in the 80s and 90s. So many postgame parties there. Regularly pillaged the one on mlk during undergrad and law school and now thrilled to have it back in my life. Wife hates it but kids and I love it. Best part is it’s about 20 minutes from placing order to our front door.
  12. Forgot to mention we took the children to luche libre and it blew their minds. Cheap second row seats right on the action and it was awesome. Wrestlers were great and crowd was into it. Old pretty beat up venue with lots of pretty gritty sights and sounds inside the venue and on the streets outside. A lot of fun.
  13. Wrapping up a couple days in Mexico City headed for puerto Escondido in the morning. Can’t believe we haven’t been here before. Easy two hour flight from Austin and our experience in the city has been amazing. Loved the park and anthropology museum. Walked everywhere with our 12 and 11 year olds and was no prob never had any worries. Staying at great place in polanco called campos polanco - 1500 sq foot apartment very reasonable great location. Ate at pujols, San angel inn, and entremar. San angel food is fine but lunch scene in beautiful courtyard is great. Pujols was great but we’re kind of over marathon tasting multicourse meals. I think the only one I’ve ever done i would do again is French laundry. Entremar was our favorite. Whole fish half red half green was really really good. Liked walking around Roma and condessa but staying in polanco. Polanco reminds me of upper eastside. Wonderful place and will put it on the short list for long weekends going forward.
  14. We're supposed to be in Mexico City Tues -- Fri then in Puerto Escondido for the next week. is there a path where it could fuck with either of those two locations or would the mountains / land kill it before it got to either?
  15. Anyone stayed at or know anything about campos palanco?
  16. Tennessee needs to sit back and wait and get all over thumber dickhead. Aggies are just so objectively nauseating. The absolute worst student body fan base and culture. Puke
  17. got some folks in from out of state and want to take them to get some good bbq for early supper today. we're in central austin. it seems like every time i drive by Black's it's slammed. Anyone tried to go there early dinner time lately? any other spots you can rec?
  18. We did Tokyo and Kyoto about a decade ago. Really loved exploring the neighborhoods and restaurants in Tokyo but highlights for me were (1) the fish market (2) going to a Tokyo Giants game (3) staying a night at the Hakone Ginyu ryokan (Hakone is a little mountain village bw Tokyo and Kyoto).
  19. do you mind telling us what you paid for the Nolan rookie and your understanding of the price spectrum as it relates to grading? I collected as a kid in the 80's and have a Nolan rookie and just curious.
  20. I guess I like e hogan more than I thought bc I keep listening but holy fucking shit this guy with him is horrible. Not only bad at radio but just incredibly dumb with horrible takes. They’re talking about the Japanese baseball player gambling deal and this guy is just a huge moron. You can tell hogan hates him.
