  1. Night and day from his last start. Maybe he needs a Verlander in the rotation to up his game or take the pressure of being the stopper off his back. He was dealing tonight.
  2. Maybe more. Remember when they originally acquired Verlander?
  3. Please, oh please, just for shits and giggles let JV get the silent treatment when he walks into the clubhouse.
  4. More worried about what we didn't get for him.
  5. Dude. Stop. Daryle Ward is NOT walking through that door.
  6. Everyone is talking about this rendition of "The Foggy Dew" during Conor McGregor’s walkout at UFC 189.
  7. Framber just flat out quit. He didn’t want to be out there after shit started going south and he threw in the towel instead of fighting through it. Unacceptable.
  8. Either I have enough emotional scar tissue built up from dealing with that shit show when they were in Houston or I'm callused by the uncanny ability of the franchise to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory persistently, but, in all sincerity, I don't give a damn about the Oiler name or the uniforms. If Nashville wants them, F em. They can have them. I will laugh my ass off when Tannehill, in his Oiler jersey, throws the pick-six to seal a 24-point comeback for the opposition.
  9. I appreciate the thought and effort in your reply. Whatever we sent to Angels, do you believe we could we recoup from the Yankees?
  10. What would the Angels take for Mike Trout? Rest him until you need him. Convince the Angels that they can have their castella and eat it too. Trade him to the Yankees in the offseason for more than you gave up for him.
  11. How does Hovland (-5) have honors over Rahm (-6)?
  12. Please tell me that’s his mugshot
  13. To play in front of tens of dozens of rabid Hurricane fans.
  14. F him. Don't introduce that cancer into your clubhouse.
  15. Tim Brando drives around listening to recordings he’s made of himself talking.
  16. torn meniscus and now, recovering from pneumonia. I'll be down in the basement for a while, enjoying everyone else's stories and photos.
  17. The Cards have a much deeper and richer history with Houston baseball. The Dodgers and Reds were "rivals" for less than a decade beginning in the late-70s. Still, Houston and St. Louis have been intertwined since 1919 with the Houston Buffs - the first minor league team affiliated with a Major League franchise. The Houston and St. Louis rivalry of the NL Central era was also a more significant period in Astros' history. Shout out to Victoria and the Crossroads.
  18. Things I didn't know until recently. Donald Malarkey was the impetus for "Saving Private Ryan," and introduced the story to author Stephen Ambrose at an Easy Company reunion in the 80s. Malarkey told Ambrose the story of the Niland brothers from Tonawanda, New York. One of the four Niland brothers was close friends with Malarkey's best friend in Easy Company, Warren H. "Skip" Muck. They were from the same hometown. Muck had shared the story with Malarkey and he recounted it to Ambrose much later. Private Ryan is based on Fritz Niland, Skip Muck's buddy.
  19. My Mom was the sole caretaker for her parents for the better part of two decades. Traveling back and forth to her hometown every weekend and after my grandfather died, an additional couple of evenings per week after work because my grandmother was wheelchair-bound since contracting polio in the 40s. When my grandmother died my Aunt drove in from East Texas towing her horse trailer and waltzed away with everything that wasn't bolted down. Greedy people suck.
