What in the wide wide world of sports is going on here?

We’ve got 4 innings against the Angels’ pen. This is a long way from over.

Good grief what a meltdown.

HR celebrations are so ridiculously lame.

Love me some Eny Cabreja highlights.

Years of internet have ruined my brain, and in the first 5 seconds of the video I told myself that she was going to shit on the floor.

Why fuck up what’s finally working? Surely these folks are smart enough to understand the sunk cost fallacy.

Almost 30 years ago now, I was part of an amphibious readiness group that participated in a combined force exercise with the Jordanians. We pulled in to Aqaba for three weeks. The Marines went ashore for exercises, and the ships’ crews got to hang out in port for the entire time. The Jordanians treated us right. The visit fell over the 4th of July, so they lent us the use of the picnic grounds at the Royal Jordanian Dive Center to have an Independence Day barbecue bash. They didn’t even flinch when we busted out the whole suckling pigs to cook over their pits. For the full three weeks, they allowed Sailors full access to the dive club and free use of snorkeling gear. I’ve dove and snorkeled all over the world, and the Gulf of Aqaba has some of the most beautiful water and reefs I’ve ever seen. The Jordanians also organized multiple trips to Petra for the crews. That was a truly surreal experience. Jordan is a solid ally and they walk the walk.

Y’all realize that people started talking like this on the right during the Tea Party days and that’s how we ended up with Trump and his MTG minions, don’t you?

You're correct. I'm a bit ambitious in my timeline. It has taken the Astros three weeks to make up three games in the standings on y'all. The Astros are 13-6 during that time while the Rangers are 10-9. "Yeah... but y'all played the Rockies... oh, wait." Let's revisit this discussion mid-June.

Yeah... but the way things have been trending, he'll be back just in time to overtake y'all in the standings.

Yeah... that makes sense. Yep. Forgot that happened.

This is a huge WTF considering where we are with pitching depth right now.

Nosey Jew? I'd be more careful making oven jokes about a Jewish person.

Can't replace a suspended pitcher on the roster. Astros are an arm short for the next 9 days.

Got my personal best score today. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 410 9/9: Rarity: 35 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩

First off… Fuck you for posting a video of an AJ Pierzynski take. Secondly… Double fuck you for posting a video of an AJ Pierzynski take that I agree with.

So close to immaculate.

God bless Youtube. The pitch at 17:30 is the one I fielded. Was on front row and snagged it as it went by. Camera didn't catch it, though.

Hit by Rickey Henderson, pitched by Mike Hampton.

So using the Mexico series as a turnaround point and projecting the winning percentage since then (.570), the team should reach .500 around the last week of July and will top out at 85 wins. That ain't gonna get you into the tournament, so they have to hit the accelerator a bit harder and hit no bumps. .600 ball gets us to 88 wins which is still iffy. Gotta play .650 for the rest of the year to be in a relatively comfortable post-season position with 94 wins. The historically good news for this franchise is that they won't hit the nadir of the 2005 team of 15 under at the 45 game point unless they drop five straight. But if that happens, the tombstone will probably be right this time.
