  1. Technically, we are having a winning year. Not by current Astros standards, but plenty of fanbases would love to trade places with us.
  2. Time to take this season out behind the shed...
  3. And now’s when our pet’s heads start falling off.
  4. These guys don’t believe they can win, so they are playing “checked out” ball.
  5. Having lived here four the past four years, it’s fun to see the locations and catch all of the local mentions. But I can see how it would be a little off-putting to some. It definitely captures the look and feel of Tulsa. Kyle MacLachlan’s character is a bit of a caricature that doesn’t land for me, but I am enjoying everything else about this.
  6. Apparently Stoops had a hand in designing this inflatable Boomer mascot I saw at Rally House a few weeks ago.
  7. As a current OK resident...
  8. I swear he grimaced a couple of times in the video, and HE'S AT A HOSPITAL! Proof that he's been playing hurt!
  9. It explains a lot about MAGA world in general. I hate to say it, but I saw this firsthand with my Dad. For whatever reason, he was unable to get into the Houston Fire Dept in the early 70's. In his 22 year old brain, "his" spot was given to someone "not as qualified" because of "affirmative action." I heard that refrain a LOT while growing up in his house. My Dad matured over the years and went on to great success in another career, but that one rejection in early adulthood bent his brain on this issue. When MAGA went full-on grievance politics, that DEI issue resonated with the bent piece of his brain and sucked him in. So my Dad, Charlie Kirk, and millions of other (mostly) white people who didn't get exactly what they wanted from life in their formative years found an easy scapegoat for that disappointment and aligned with a movement that gave permission to their anger and distrust. At least that's my theory.
  10. I think Vandy is on the verge of getting high on their own supply and comes out of that stretch 0-3.
  11. Our sweet Penny has had the deck stacked against her for the past five years. We’ve been managing her idiopathic epilepsy since October 2020 and other than that, she’s been pretty healthy physically if not neurologically. For the past few months, we’ve been noticing some weakness in her hind legs and a tendency to fall over while playing. Vet has been keeping an eye on it and today we got the diagnosis that she has Degenerative Myelopathy - a spinal cord disease that progresses a lot like ALS. We’ve probably got less than a year with her. She’ll get tons of treats and hugs and all the playtime she can handle. Here she is having fun with her frisbee on Thursday. IMG_0299.mov
  12. My grandmother went to Church with Strech’s parents. In 2004 she asked a favor from Strech and then presented me with a ball signed by Biggio, Bagwell, and Berkman. It is one of my most prized possessions, and I love that Strech was involved in getting it to me.
  13. Bracamonte has consistently represented this organization well. Hat tip to a real one.
  14. We are dumb and don’t deserve to win ever again.
  15. HBP, 1B, HR same same
  16. Lesssss gooooooo!
  17. Can we rally with the season on the line?
  18. As long as it isn’t the Astros (which it won’t be) it’s not sad at all.
  19. Framber is bleeding millions.
