  1. Altuve absolutely pissed on that one. Team has some fire under their ass tonight.
  2. Don't think this has been posted yet.. Cole's former teammates at Corpus watching his first AB. How can you not love baseball?
  3. Most fun I've had watching a game in a while, but this is the shit that frustrates me the last 2 months. We'll do this tonight, but either get 2 singles and 0 runs tomorrow, or lose 3-2 after getting 10 hits and taking 4 walks but going 2-13 with RISP.
  4. CPI comes in a little warm while jobless claims tick up. Dual mandate pressures weighing on the Fed.
  5. BBQ joint coming to the old Petrol Station? "Heights BBQ" is a pop-up run by the guy who used to be the pitmaster at Pipers BBQ on Shepherd. In the comments on a Facebook post about this, the guy confirmed that it will not be called "Heights BBQ" and is not affiliated with the Pipers/Preslee's group.
  6. A big ridge of high pressure will soon settle in over Texas. Every day from tomorrow through next Sunday will basically be a repeat of the day before. Low to mid 90's, near-zero chance of rain.
  7. Probably ate 100+ meals at the PIccadilly inside Parkdale Mall in Beaumont growing up. There's still one in Denham Springs not far from my in-laws house. One of these days the wife and I will have to stop in during a visit. I'm sure the nostalgia will be better than the actual food.
  8. Yes, and sometimes it's touching 90 and swampy on Halloween. That's why averages exist.
  9. Uhh, late November, maybe. First time visiting Texas? To be more precise, the average high stays below 70 from 11/25 thru 2/23 (data for Houston).
  10. Today and tomorrow look glorious. High 80's and 60's with low humidity. Enjoy these next 48 hours as much as possible before it warms back up a bit. Extended forecast is basically copy/paste starting Wednesday through the following weekend. High's in mid-90's, lows in low 70's, very little chance of rain.
  11. This team just ain't it. The roster has been absolutely decimated by injuries. The pitching staff is currently bearing the brunt of it, but they're not getting much help from a finally-almost-healthy lineup that was below even 60% strength for the vast majority of the season. I'm honestly expecting to wake up tomorrow to hear that 1 or 2 of the guys that pitched tonight has elbow or shoulder discomfort. More losses than wins since 7/1 and very few of the wins have come easy. Our largest margin of victory in our past 30 games is 6 runs (while losing by double digits several times). We only have a positive 10 run differential after tonight. We've played and looked like a slightly below .500 team since the ASB.
  12. Lol, 4 straight balls. Great start Lance!
  13. The neighborhood now has its first Irish Pub (that I'm aware of.) Pimlico opens their 2nd location today at the old Barking Pig on Ella, catty corner from Tony's. I'll have to pop in on a cool, drizzly day sometime later this year.
  14. Busy dove hunt out in Sealy yesterday afternoon. Tons of birds, but they were all just passing over our field with no intent to land anywhere nearby, so flying high and fast. Our group of 5 fired easily 250+ shots and ended up with 38 in the truck (plus another 10 or so lost in the brush or fell in the field behind us). I lost count of how many birds we knocked feathers off of but not enough to down. I'd feel worse about my shooting, but my buddy, who is a competitive skeet shooter and the best dove shot I've ever hunted with, was roughly 12/50.
  15. It appears we'll settle into a consistently steady pattern of warm, dry, sunny days next week. Daytime highs in the mid-90's, but pleasant mornings and evenings with low humidity. It ain't gonna feel like Fall, but it ain't blastfurnace.
