Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
I was about to really sweat that Nimmo AB but luckily a buddy at the game spoiled it for me. Seems like TV feed is about 40 seconds behind.

Not complaining about getting guys on base, but we need to land a knockout punch. Ready for an XBH after all these walks and singles.

I'm glad Jake is relatively fast and that ball was hit relatively soft.

Will age like mayonnaise in the sun, but that's a problem for another man at another time.

Texas BBQ
Yep, while their brisket is totally skippable and sometimes downright bad, CM ribs with their red glaze are still a treat. Always grab a few bottles of sauce to go for friends/co-workers.

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Let's get back to winning on Opening Day. It sucked dropping Game 1 for the first time in like a decade last year, especially given that it led to a 4-game sweep.

Mudbugs 2025
Supply has been increasing the past 2 weeks or so, which means prices are finally starting to come down to earth and vendors are taking a little later in the day to sell out. Starting to see field run at sub-$3 though weekend prices remain elevated. Couple more weeks of moderate weather and things should be looking much better by mid-April.

Texas BBQ
Wife and I taking our annual spring trip to check out the old stomping grounds in San Marcos and spending the weekend in Wimberley, which means lunch tomorrow on the way up will be my once-a-year visit to City Market. Yes, there are plenty of better BBQ joints, but I still enjoy CM for what it is and it's tradition at this point.

2025 Thread of the Rains
A nice steady 30+ hour soaking is just what the doctor ordered. My landscaping is just starting to come back to life after the winter die off and lawn is finally waking up from hibernation. Sprinklers get to catch a nice break this weekend.

Walker heading back to Houston tonight after taking a bunch of AB's in minor league games the last few days without issue. Expected to be in the lineup Thursday.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Smith starting in RF again tonight. Edit: And now Chandler says he made the OD roster.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Chandler: Astros have informed Singleton he will not make the Opening Day Roster, Joe Espada said. I'm assuming that means Dezenzo is in. Last domino left to fall is likely Chas vs. Cam.- 2025 Fitness Thread
I was experiencing something similar last year. Recurring discomfort on the inside of my left elbow. Not so much pain, but when I'd do curls, the first few reps it would feel like my UCL was about to fail. I just laid off for like 2 weeks at one point and then picked back up with more reps at lower weight. Also seemed to help to switch to doing standing curls with a multi-grip bar rather than sitting down at a curl machine. The discomfort eventually subsided entirely even after I'd gotten back up to lifting as heavy ever, though my left elbow still does a (painless) pop when I stretch out my arms upon waking up in the morning.- Mudbugs 2025
Should be fine on crawfish, but weather will be a crapshoot. Buddy of mine used to do a boil first Saturday of May. Some years it's 80 and perfect, some years it's the first weekend with heat index touching triple digits. Moved it to mid-April the last few years.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Per beat writers: Walker is not going to travel home with the team on Sunday, but will stay in Florida taking AB's in minor-league games Saturday through Tuesday before returning to Houston. Should be available on Opening Day.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Combining two recent McTaggart Tweets: Dezenzo is 3/4 today. He has probably played his way onto this team with a .415 batting average and 1.125 OPS.- Dragon Age
I guess I just don't see why this game tanked so bad. I've been having a grand old time. There's a ton of content as it appears I'm only about halfway through after playing for ~20 hours.- Mudbugs 2025
I had my first batch on Sunday. Buddy grabbed 2 sacks from our mutual supplier that drives over from LA on the weekends. Decent size and not a lot of dead loss, but still close to $4/lb at the moment. I've read that catches were pretty light in late February/early March and demand has been sky high. Seafood markets I keep an eye on have been selling out real quick and still having days where they don't get any at all. Luckily it sounds like things have been picking up lately.- Shit HEB Makes (when its open).
All depends on the size/quality IMO. Their regular ol' sliced bread sandwiches are typically $5-7 and nothing to write home about. If they can make a legit Italian sub or Cuban sandwich on good bread for $9.50, I'll buy occasionally.- Shit HEB Makes (when its open).
Slight mystery at HEB this morning. Just saw this new sign over near where they sell pre-made salads and soups. Looked around a bit and didn't actually see any of these sandwiches anywhere. Checked HEB website and not finding anything that matches. There's an HEB across the street from my office so this would certainly be a welcome development for weekday lunches.- Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest
The young guy that owns Heights & Co. bar on Yale and Dante (Italian restaurant over in River Oaks) is apparently opening up a restaurant or bar in the old Ship Channel coffee place on Wakefield after a major remodel this summer.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Consumer sentiment is in the crapper. Inflation expectations have risen significantly.- Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you
This year I'm experiencing the other side of this. Same perks of no traffic and shit hold true, but I've been insanely busy this week, wrapping up the final parts of a rush project I've been grinding out since mid-January. 10+ hour days all week, getting home no earlier than 8 pm....etc. Meanwhile I'm bombarded in group texts with pics of friends and co-workers spending the week down at the beach or hitting the ski slopes. - 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
