  1. I was going to ask if she paid for it, but she did... just a couple of days later.
  2. No homo.
  3. Can't wait to watch it, but it looks like I'll have to wait. I don't know how much of the show is actually shot at Mr. Beef on Orleans, but that's always been my favorite Italian Beef joint. Everyone has an opinion and a favorite Italian beef joint. I wasn't that excited when Al's Italian Beef opened in Dallas and it shut down pretty quickly. Portillo's was supposed to open up in the Colony, but I think the pandemic put the kibosh on those plans. The best local Italian beef was Taste of Chicago" in Addison on Midway, but it is "temporarily closed," and has been for a while. I don't think it's re-opening. Sorry to derail show talk with Italian beef talk.
  4. You know how I know that I am so screwed?
  5. About tree-fitty. Duh.
  6. Does Sling fall on the DirecTV Stream, Hulu+Live TV, and YouTube TV spectrum? If so, where (yay or nay)?
  7. Just got my first electric bill with my new and improved ERCOT post-fiasco rate. Holy shit. I'm rewarding and enabling incompetence. I'm about to go full Chuck McGill.
  8. Wade Phillips? Was Jack Pardee not available?
  9. Jose Urquidy has changed agents with the hiring of Scott Boras
  10. I'm going to use this description for a co-worker. Where do I send residuals?
  11. Can we at least agree that pinch hitting Alvarez with first base open in Game 1 of the doubleheader was less than an ideal decision? In a single move Baker took the bats out of the hands of both a good contact hitter and the Astros' best hitter.
  12. Happened to stop on LHN the other day and caught a portion of a replay of an aggie game at DKR wherein they identified Hampton only as the guy that "comes in every now and then to give Chris Aiken a breather." Casey was just huffing and puffing after just a couple of plays, but I just wondered wtf ever happened to Chris Aiken?
  13. Even better. The rams are part of the logo for Shiner beer. The Shiner HS mascot is the Comanches. I guess they couldn't photoshop Buffalo Hump and Kicking Wolf next to him.
  14. Do you think any of this motion towards enlarging bases is at least partially motivated by a desire to cut down on collisions, particularly at first? What are the chances that someday we see MLB w/ two bases at first base, a la softball? One for the first baseman that's in fair territory and the other for the runner in foul territory -- on either side of the baseline. . . ridiculous, yes, but can you rule anything out these days?
  15. The shift is only "weighted" to address a hitter's tendencies. Right or left. If there's a high probability a hitter is going to pull the ball, why should an infielder not be allowed to at least attempt to take that away from that hitter? Punishing the shift is just as egregious and just putting your thumb on the scale of the offense because batters can't or won't adjust. It's akin to telling the corner infielders they can't guard the line because it might take away an extra base hit. If you're tired of seeing batters pound balls into the shift or potential hits being cut off by infielders playing up the middle or in shallow right field, blame the hitters that don't take advantage of the wide open spaces the defense is giving them.
  16. Why punish the defense and not the hitters that are incapable of hitting the ball the other way? This smacks of those years the NBA rigged games for scorers and the offense by not allowing teams to play zone defense. Force hitters to adapt and punish defenses for the shift.
  17. Jacob Melton Not surprising. OSU SBN site thinks the Astros got a steal.
  18. They talked mad shit non-stop AFTER the game too. All the way to the car it was how they'd "see us again" and would "destroy us in the championship game." I just laughed and told them not to hang their dreams on Texas being there. They had just lost to the worst team Mack Brown ever brought to Lincoln. The bitterness and hatred flowed like wine.
  19. Super! Then you'll have lots to talk about, huh?
  20. Same! She took her foot off the accelerator and my wife was completely over it. Tension was running high. The boy and I were about to move out.
