Same here. My son got tickets for us to attend game 2 of the 2017 ALCS with the Yankees. Watched JV strike out 13 batters and we won it in the bottom of the ninth. The best baseball game I’ve watched in person. I hope, I hope, I hope he gets it together. As my stock broker says, “ I’m cautiously optimistic.”

He’s cooked.

Our secondary needs to get its shit together. The completed bombs were just a tad discerning.

Mixon’s an okie and I’ve never liked him, but today I love him.

You can not stop us. You can only hope to contain us.

I expect us to win today. Am actually feeling confident. There were times I thought I’d never have this feeling again, LFG!!!!

Overrated (clap clap …clap clap clap)

Love seeing ISU beat Iowa.

The best version of this tune.

They can read?

Most strikeouts by a pitcher through their first 6 appearances with the @Astros franchise (1962-): 61- Randy Johnson 61- Gerrit Cole 48- Justin Verlander 47- Yusei Kikuchi (Via 12 Ks in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Royals) 41- Roger Clemens 41- Colin McHugh 40- Lance McCullers Jr. The trade for Kikuchi continues to look pretty damn good.

Different coach, different year, same aggy. I’m old as shit and seen this my entire life and it shall be the same for our children’s children’s children ad Infinitum.

That’s one sharp cookie.

And that’s fair.

My wife sporting gear of the South Dakota State Jackrabbits.

My wife did her undergrad at South Dakota State and I’ve been following their football team for about the last four years. Don’t sleep on these guys. They can play.

I started drinking again 10 days ago. Fucking chronic pain. Was struggling and pretty damned desperate. When I posted about ending up in the ER due to a combination of sleeping pills and mucho whiskey, both @BearSchlong and @pch said I could message them if I needed help….and I needed help. Theirs was not an idle offer. Within a day, I’d established a separate relationship with each of these gentlemen. They shared their experiences, made some absolutely brilliant suggestions to help me get on the path to sobriety, and followed up to check on my progress. In the middle of this, my wife (who thought I had quit drinking) found my bottle of whiskey. Instead of kicking me to the curb, which I deserved, she said, “What do we need to do to fix this?”. I sweater gawd, I won the wife lottery. My wife knows I’ve reached out to people on Surly and she’s all for it. If you’re in a bad place because of your alcohol consumption, there are people on this thread who can help you and >want< to help you. I thought I could beat this by myself and I was wrong. But, I/WE will beat this! Now, I’m 5 days sober. It’s a start.

From the bowels of College Station where aggy is aggy and the sheep are nervous. TEXAS!!

EOSE on a roll as they met their first milestones. +.51 to $2.70.

Rewatched the 1976 Olympic gold medal bouts with Sugar Ray Leonard, Leon Spinks, Michael Spinks, Howard Davis Jr. & Leo Randolph. The USA won 5 golds, one silver, and one bronze. I doubt we ever duplicate that success.
