  1. 3 hits, 2 walks, 4 earned runs in 1/3 of an inning. Gotta be his worst appearance of the entire season?
  2. The Neto Game.
  3. Jesus. This game is killing me today. So much for a relaxing Sunday.
  4. What a pinch hit Rookie!
  5. Wow. First oppo shot for Bregman all year. Only 14 in his whole career out of 190 total.
  6. It's officially Fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Autumnal Equinox occurred about 2 hours ago. Change in the weather pattern ahead. Looks like clouds today should keep us from extending the streak of 95+. Noticeably nicer mornings and evenings on tap starting Wed/Thu with dewpoints in the 50's. Still gonna be quite warm in the afternoons, but not oppressive, featuring lower humidity. Houston area looks like we should get a least a little rain to start the week. No such luck for Central Texas.
  7. Took a 60 mph lob off the elbow pad. I think he'll survive.
  8. I like Dingers. If we played the Angels for 162 games, would we do better or worse than 120-42?
  9. One or two more hot swampy days to cap off this unprecedented heat wave, and then things start getting a little more reasonable. Light at the end of the tunnel. I think I'm more excited about the lows dropping to low 70's than the highs dropping to low 90's. The low in Houston has been 77 or 78 every day since the 13th. It's gross even early in the morning and late at night.
  10. nate this year. Hoping to keep my recent streak of W's going tonight. Welp, got what I asked for. Got the W. Got to see a bunch of XBH and HR. Beyond all that, I was there to see the informal end of the career of one of the best pitchers in the history of the sport. 3 innings where he was everything he had ever been, and then he turned back into an injury-riddled 41 year old. IT got a bit dusty watching Old Man JV walk off to a standing ovation and tap his chest, knowing it was over. What a fucking ride we've had with that guy since the late season trade in '17.
  11. One of the guys hunted that stand yesterday. Shot one pig about 10 minutes before the feeder went off and then shot another that walked right up to the corpse about 15 minutes later. Dumbasses. Big Boy is still at large. I'm definitely leaning towards heading up next weekend. Need to go up anyways and fix a feeder at another stand.
  12. WTI $72.35 (2 week high) and Natty at $2.42 (3 month high). Decent little win streak after the oversold panic at the beginning of the month.
  13. Overall, it was a pretty mild summer compared to last year's misery, but it looks like the 2024 BlastFurnace was just resting its starters until the final drive of the game. SCW mentioned today that this past week's heat wave is the longest and strongest ever recorded this late into the year. Today marks 7 straight days with highs of 95 or above. In the past 140 years of Houston weather records, there's never been longer than a 5 day stretch of 95+ after the 2nd week of September. 98 yesterday and Wednesday were new Record Highs for 9/18 and 9/19 for the weather station at IAH. Today probably a new record as well. Quite possible we make it to 9 straight. Official forecast highs of 94 tomorrow and Sunday, but lately the recorded highs have typically been 1-2 degrees above the forecast. Looks like slight relief starting Monday and there should be noticeable improvement by Thursday.
  14. We need to start hitting some HR and XBH again. No dingers in the past 5 games and only something like 15 in our last 20. Singles, easy flyouts, and strikeouts are getting kinda boring.
  15. I was on a 5 or 6 game L streak last year, including an ALCS game. Final month of home games was brutal. Been pretty fortunate this year. Hoping to keep my recent streak of W's going tonight.
  16. 83-70. Magic Number down to 5. Possible to clinch this weekend if Mariners shit the bed in Arlington, but most likely the M's roll in next week with a glimmer of hope. IMO, we pop bottles on Tuesday. Wild Ass prediction: Yusei never loses a game as an Astro.
  17. DJIA 42K SP 5.7K Nasdaq 18K For now at least.
  18. Dude, every time you mention the weather in SoCal, I feel compelled to point out that it still drops down to the low 60's when the sun is down. Unless you're talking about Palm Springs or something. We would kill to have "heat waves" where the high is 93 (with low humidity) and the low is 62.
  19. It's the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album. They're basically playing the full album at their shows on this tour with a handful of randoms thrown in.
  20. Printers still suck.
  21. Big ol' sumbitch showed up on this camera yesterday afternoon. Easily over 150 lbs. I'm champing at the bit to get back out there but it's just so damn hot right now, I'd probably keel over in the stand during an afternoon hunt. Looking like a mild front might arrive by next weekend. If so, I got some bidness to handle.
  22. Nasty out there today. Walked out of the gym at 8 this morning and it felt like the heat index was already pushing 90. Dashboard was reading 100 most of the way into work before settling at 95. Several days of triple digit heat indices ahead before temps throttle down a few degrees starting Sunday/Monday.
  23. He's only got 1 gear these days. All histrionics, all the time.
