  1. Single digit temps up here in eastern Montana the past few mornings. Had to bring my weed and pepper plants indoors and my wife is bitching about the smell (and she's kind of right).
  2. We've always been a multiple dog family, but we lost two dogs 2 and 3 years ago (both during OU week) and have been a one dog family ever since. The two we lost were 13 and 14 years old and it was pretty hard on us all so we've been reluctant to bring another in. Well, a friend's dog had a litter of pups a few weeks back and my daughter has been pressing me to get one. We're huge Brave fans (since 1978 for me, so no bandwagon here!)...so I told her we could get a puppy if the Braves won the World Series. I never even expected them to get past the Brewers so felt it a safe bet. I didn't specifically say from this litter, but she says it was implied...and just the fact that a freshly turned 9 yr old knows how to use that argument correctly almost sways me. The main thing holding me back is both pups remaining are males, and I've always had better luck with females in the intelligence department. So what say ye? By the way, I'll have this girl to help me train the next one we get...whenever that may be.
  3. Snitker was on the high school team in the second-best baseball book ever written, One Shot at Forever. I can't believe they haven't mentioned that. Great book!
  4. That's fucking beautiful!
  5. Is it possible to blow a 3-1 lead? Sure. Am I worried? No. What happened in the Super Bowl almost 5 years ago has no bearing on a baseball game (if it did the Rangers would have won 3 World Series championships in the 90s.) What happened in the NLCS has no bearing either. They already exorcised that demon in this year's NLSC. If Houston wins the next two games, THEN I'll worry about blowing the series.
  6. Game. BITCHES!!! End this motherfucker tomorrow night!
  7. Yep! He gets hot 3 weeks a year. The rest of the season he's practically a liability. But he's a cocksucker the entire season.
  8. This motherfucker needs to be curb stomped. Yes, the irony of a Nazi doing the stomping is noted.
  9. At least teams know to shift their 2B to the left side of the infield so he'll be closer to watching the ball fly out.
  10. I was joking. It's Smyly. Everyone tees off on him. Even I could hit it over the 315 sign off him.
  11. Houston is teeing off on our pitchers like they know what's coming.
  12. Gonna be tough to do minus one of only 3 reliable starting pitchers. They're gonna have to rely on Kyle Wright and/or Drew Smyly much more than I'm comfortable with. At least we're up 1-0 instead of down 0-1.
  13. I've asked that, too. Answer I was given was "because its not called".
  14. Huge fucking balls on Matzek!
  15. Jackson is gonna blow this, aint he?
  16. That's where I was coming into tonight, too. If the Braves lose (and its still possible), I'm on the Dodger wagon for the WS. Anyone but the Astros!
  17. Seems like he's been pitching for 30 years. Probably because he's played for 9 teams (4 of them twice!).
  18. Boom, bitch!
  19. I don't understand the Walton love. Has everyone forgotten about when he called the game for our basketball team that was sponsored by Alibaba?
  20. Wrong thread
  21. Unfortunately, LA will win this series despite that fucking idiot.
  22. Yep. I realize they're up 2-1, but it just feels like all the momentum of the series has switched dugouts with that comeback. Got a bad feeling the Braves will be down 3-2 when this series heads back east.
  23. That looked like someone's spit bottle.
