  1. This entire story arc just infuriates me like nothing else in the last few years of GQP bulllshit. I had this guy pegged accurately from the beginning when the murder of Garrett Foster first happened and I remember almost everyone here initially played the FAFO card against the victim as if he deserved to die for his legal-but-unwise (imo) decision to open carry an AR15 at a protest rally. I suspected from the beginning that there was a lot more to this story than what everyone was assuming, and this was all happening against a backdrop of an increase in general right-wing violence directed at BLM protesters specifically and "the left" in general. When all the details started coming out, including the video that corroborated what the protesters said, I knew this piece of shit motherfucker was 100% to blame for everything that happened and was guilty of murder. I was pleasantly surprised when Jose Garza's office brought his case before a grand jury and he was indicted murder charges instead of some lesser crime thereof, and when a jury of twelve Travis County citizens finally reviewed all the evidence and arrived at the same conclusion, I was absolutely ecstatic to see a rare win for "my side" against a long buffet of shitburgers forced to eat by the criminal justice system. I remember texting my wife and friends about it when the verdict was announced. And I'm not even personally involved in this tragedy. Then Abbott and the right wing news machine go into overdrive about poor innocent white guy Perry and the lawless George Soros funded libtard communist Travis County DA and our two-wheeled pile of human excrement governor goes on a media tour promising to pardon him asap. But he doesn't. Then the trial court released all the details about Daniel Perry uncovered during the discovery phase, and the Magat twitter types move on to bashing trans people in sports and calling everyone they disagree with about any subject pedophiles, because their libtard-killing hero was suddenly now a clear racist with serious pedo vibes all around him. I was convinced at that point that Abbott would forget about him quick because the rest of the world had moved on. The fact that he didn't, that he doubled down and actually followed through on a promise magatworld had already forgotten about, just stunned me. The fact that he so brazenly re-victimized the family of Garrett Foster and his fiancee to the benefit of someone of such terrible character as Daniel Perry, all in the service of owning the Austin libs and sticking it to Jose Garza makes me fucking seeeeeethe. The thoughts I have about the things I wish would happen to both Abbott and Daniel Perry might get my account suspended, so I best keep those to myself.
  2. he's resting before all those games without a day off
  3. Manager talk in baseball circles is like bitching about the weather in small talk with strangers. I've always said and will always believe that managers are overrated when it comes to the successes and failures of an MLB team. They get too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses. But Espada does stupid shit sometimes regardless and it's cathartic to bitch about him.
  4. well shit fuck. fucking Duran. No mas. No mas.
  5. His .661 OPS will fit in nicely with the other slappy outfielders shuttling back-and-forth between AAA and MLB.
  6. My god. Jake Meyers at cleanup. WTF Espada.
  7. my MLBTV + Express VPN has been working great for me. It seems like the first month or so (maybe more, maybe less???) was completely unfunctional and I thought the ride was over forever but then outta nowhere it just started working like someone at MLBTV flipped a switch or something to allow my account to log in even when my VPN was connected. The only difference between this year and last is that it still won't work on my phone, but it works on my pc. On my phone i only get the radio feed option.
  8. Penn Murfee's outing tonight for Fayetteville was not as positive as Verlander's outing for the Hooks. 0.1 IP 3 H 4 ER 1 BB 1 K on 19 pitches. (12 strikes).
