  1. 94 yesterday, so the streak ends at 10. Looks like we've got about 36 more hours until this front makes its way down to Houston tomorrow evening. Tonight should be the last night where the low doesn't get out of the high 70's for a while. Whole bunch of warm, sunny days with cooler mornings and evenings on the extended forecast for 9/26-10/6. Average High of 92, Average Low of 71. "Second Summer" is on its way out for now. I propose we call the next 2 weeks to follow "Pseudo Fall" maybe?
  2. Yordan officially has a sprained right knee. Not available this week.
  3. Not that it mattered since we could only muster 1 run on 4 hits, but the C Team bullpen came in and surrendered 5 runs on 10 hits and a walk over 3 innings Need 7 strong out of Framber tomorrow.
  4. Night fellas. Flush this one down the fucking toilet and close it out tomorrow.
  5. Really would like to wrap things up today or tomorrow. Not really in the mood for a stressful game Wednesday hoping to avoid a sweep.
  6. Official high of 95 at IAH yesterday, so the streak made it to 10. Gonna be a nail biter to see if reaches 11 today. All depends on if we end up getting some afternoon showers or not. It's disgusting out there this morning.
  7. Got an unexpected round of showers this evening, which was nice, but a side effect was that it kicked the humidity into high gear. Getting close to 9 pm and it's 83 with a heat index of 90. I will not be sad to see evening like this go anytime soon. Looks like 2 more Muggy AF days with before this next front makes its way to Houston late Wednesday. I'm counting down the hours at this point.
  8. Damn. Rally falls short. Oh well. Just get 1 W in these next 3 and it's time to party.
  9. 3 hits, 2 walks, 4 earned runs in 1/3 of an inning. Gotta be his worst appearance of the entire season?
  10. Jesus. This game is killing me today. So much for a relaxing Sunday.
  11. Wow. First oppo shot for Bregman all year. Only 14 in his whole career out of 190 total.
  12. 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.
  13. Took a 60 mph lob off the elbow pad. I think he'll survive.
  14. I like Dingers. If we played the Angels for 162 games, would we do better or worse than 120-42?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
