  1. Have sitter lined up to watch kids, telling clients I'm out Friday afternoon, etc. Would be ecstatic to have to cancel all that.
  2. Quality pitching and D has been a really nice surprise this postseason. But at this point, Houston has seen the reliable pitching Rangers can throw at them (including same BP arms 2X). Rangers bats are going to have to have a couple of big games to take the series IMO. I'm not sure 5 runs wins another game for the Rangers.
  3. Never a doubt!!
  4. Well fuck. Bad luck
  5. Shit. Dusty actually making a smart move for once. Semien was about to crush his soul.
  6. Welp, at least nobody was on.
  7. Isn't that supposed to be the PBP? Driving home soon and planned to tune in obviously.
  8. Is that not reviewable?
  9. JFC ump. That's awful
  10. Love it. Umps can't even slow this train down
  11. WTF is this delay. Ridiculous
  12. Let's GOOO!!!!!!
  13. I'm betting that means the 6 day window. Which is odd, because looking at list of games that week, I'm not sure what matchups possibly move the needle based on game outcomes. It's clear Texas and OU are picks 1 and 2. The other matchup won't draw a meaningful audience.
  14. That's 1. Going to be a tough series but anytime you get a W off of Verlander that's big!
  15. I'll add, to the extent player buy-in was an issue as we've speculated, I can't imagine anything worse than a HC that has kneeled out the clock with all TO's in his pocket in back to back games to close out the half (and then losing close) in modern college football. Who in the world would want to play for that guy.
  16. At some point no matter how rich you are, pissing away $$ for the same results year after year has to take it's toll one would think. This season is already a lost cause from their perspective. And it would be a minor miracle for Johnson to stay healthy the rest of the way through with that OL. If they get blown out by Lane Kiffin, which is a distinct possibility given matchup problems they will have in that game, these theories may get tested.
  17. Yeah, I don't see how this can continue. I know they have some big boosters but surely the same guys funding player payroll would have to fund the buyout. Are these guys sick of throwing good money after bad on the players? Is there really enough money to buy out Jimbo and staff, pay a buyout for a new coach then fund a new crop of players? I get Texas coming to the SEC and the fear that brings is a good way to bring the $$ to the table but at some point the math just doesn't work. And I'm pretty sure the AD itself has a ton of future SEC income already committed to payments on all the facilities from the past decade. Would love to read anyone that has insight into actual A&M finances explain how this math problem can be solved.
  18. Easier to say from the comfort of a high rise office in Austin when you don't have neighboring citizens with this philosophy on life: "The Israelis are known to love life. We, on the other hand, sacrifice ourselves. We consider our dead to be martyrs. The thing any Palestinian desires the most is to be martyred for the sake of Allah, defending his land,"
  19. About what I figured. Good luck reforming that. Case and point why this shit will never end.
  20. Rangers are one of the streakiest teams I've every seen. Particularly 2nd half of the season. I feel like this ends in 5 one way or the other. Of course, considering you never know what you are going to get with the Rangers, and Stros play better on the road than at home, a 7 game series would also be fitting. So yeah, who the F knows. But it's going to be fun.
  21. Well, I know someone that essentially became single issue pro life after twins arrived prematurely, weren't viable, and died in their arms, and it just changed perspective on that issue above everything. Getting way off topic but it's nice to try to remind ourselves everyone has different backgrounds and experiences that shape their beliefs/opinions. I fail at that constantly as well because I'm pretty sure I'm right about everything.
  22. This is just as ignorant as my wife's MAGA family that thinks we are Ultra Libs because we vote for Biden. Unfortunately we live in a 2 party system. It is what it is.
  23. I know one! I know it's not fathomable to those on this forum (where almost 90% of the posters are largely aligned) but we live in a big old country with lots of different opinions.
  24. 123 row J. Went to a preseason game and like the seats. We preferred the end where Stars shoot 2X but pickings were slim on that side. We got an email over the summer that they actually sold out season tix in the lower bowl this year for the first time. Pretty crazy. Also a note, Zavala BBQ is apparently opening a booth near 121 beginning tonight. Hoping to try it out. Not sure how high quality BBQ can keep standards in an arena environment but I'm betting he tries to make it work. He's extended family of a good friend from college (that is long term Surly lurker (seldom poster)) and I've been meaning to try his place in Grand Prarie for a while so may do that tonight.
