Anyone interested?

Rumble was awesome in person. We had terrible seats (3rd row behind visitor dugout - too low and obstructed by the lighting structure), but it was serendipitous when the Reigns-Corbin finish happened directly in front of us. Edge pop was unbelievable. Moment of the night by far. Closing of RAW last night w Edge and Orton was some of the best stuff they've done in years. I was captivated. Super excited to see where they go from here. It's awesome having Edge back.

Have 2 tonight in 105 / 36 looking to sell. Face ($103) OBO.

Trying to give away tickets, so they don't go to waste. Can transfer via Ballpark app.

sitting here waiting on the Astros to post the roster like

Horns @ Rice tickets on sale next Monday at 9am - https://www1.ticketmaster.com/rice-owls-mens-baseball-vs-texas-longhorns-baseball/event/3A005639B9146887. Last time the Horns were at Reckling, I remember there were GA tents set up down the LF line. It looks like that section has been moved and upgraded to the RF line. source: http://news.rice.edu/2018/02/19/reckling-park-opens-baseball-season-with-a-few-new-upgrades/ Anyone know anything about the GA areas at Reckling? Does a GA ticket get you access to The Roost, or is that a separate ticket altogether? Can you BYOB to the Outfield Hill area?

We need two 4-ton units (upstairs / downstairs). I'm in Houston Heights FWIW. Yes to gas furnace. Duct work checked out fine. All of the equipment from this company is Carrier. They quoted four different options after the "free" furnace savings: 19 seer 5-stage for $19k ea Carrier models: Infinity AC / Performance furnace Warranty: 10yr labor / 10yr parts warranty 19 seer 2-stage for $17.5 ea Carrier models: Performance AC / Performance furnace Warranty: 10yr labor / 10yr parts warranty 16 seer 2-stage for $13k ea Carrier models: Performance AC / Comfort furnace Warranty: 5yr labor / 10yr parts warranty 16 seer 1-stage for $11k ea Carrier models: Comfort AC / Comfort furnace Warranty: 2yr labor / 10yr parts I like the idea of the 2-stage for noise purposes (small back yard) as well as cheaper ongoing opex. Is there going to be a discernible difference between 1-stage and 2-stage? I will take any and all recommendations for quality contractors who could have better pricing. I've never bought an AC system before and (clearly) have no idea what I'm doing. @Bernard @Jkwellborn @woohorn

We've got two ~17 year old AC Units in our house, and it's time to replace. We've patched them and done minor repairs for years, and they just aren't getting the job done anymore. We got a quote today and as expected it's fairly eye popping. They have a "deal"going right now because of "surplus inventory of furnaces" where if we buy a whole system, they'll throw in the furnace for free. Who has been through this process, and how much in your experience can be negotiated on the quoted price?

After all teams have played two games, here are the standings: Kane, 5 goals Lukaku & Ronaldo, 4 goals Costa & Cheryshev, 3 goals Looks like all five of those guys are going to the knockouts, so it's definitely up for grabs.

You're not really going to find anywhere in Vegas to gamble if you're running away from 6-5 tables these days. Unfortunately, it seems like all of the big casinos have migrated that way (unless you're in the high limit rooms).

Looking at last year as a frame of reference... Sat 9 Sep - PL @ Everton (7 Sat, 2 Sun, 1 Mon [West Ham vs Huddersfield] games) Wed 13 Sep - UCL vs Dortmund Sat 16 Sep - PL vs Swansea (1 Fri [Bournemouth vs Brighton], 7 Sat, 2 Sun games) Tue 19 Sep - Cup vs Barnsley Sat 23 Sep - PL @ West Ham (8 Sat, 1, Sun, 1 Mon [Arsenal vs West Brom] games) Tue 26 Sep - UCL @ APOEL Sat 30 Sep - PL @ Huddersfield (7 Sat, 3 Sun games) Int'l Break Sat 14 Oct - PL vs Bournemouth (7 Sat, 2 Sun, 1 Mon [Leicester vs West Brom] games) Tue 17 Oct - UCL @ Madrid Sun 22 Oct - PL vs Liverpool (1 Fri [West Ham vs Brighton], 7 Sat, 2 Sun games) Wed 25 Oct - Cup vs West Ham Sat 28 Oct - PL @ ManU (7 Fri, 2 Sun, 1 Mon [Burnley vs Newcastle] games) Wed 1 Nov - UCL vs Madrid Sun 5 Nov - PL vs Palace (6 Sat, 4 Sun games) Seems like PL schedules 1 game for Friday or Monday most weeks although it was usually shit teams last year. Doesn't seem to be any correlation between Champions League / League Cup day and Premier League day (Spurs had Wed / Sat, Tue / Sat, Tue / Sun and Wed / Sun above).

Definitely want to try to get to a game at the new stadium in the Fall. How far out do they typically announce the official day / time for the games? I know it says Spurs are slated to play City the weekend 27-Oct, but all games on the fixture list are currently scheduled for "Saturday at 3:00pm". I assume that game could be played on Saturday, Sunday or Monday (primetime), which would impact my travel plans. Any guidance based on prior experience would be appreciated.

Hard to be mad at Springer for tagging. That's the way we have played since Hinch has been the manager. If Kalhoun doesn't make a great throw (and Simmons doesn't get the tag down), Springer ties the game on Altuve's single.

My post from last week. I assume the trend still holds...

Bryce Harper had a 0-20 stretch last week. And he's bounced back to go .278 / .316 / .556 over the past 4 games. Altuve will be fine.
