  1. Bumping for the 24th - 26th. This Thursday thru Saturday.
  2. If you believe the AccuWeather 15-day forecast then it becomes a question of more than 60. On the subject of long range looks, the high for the Rice game? 104.
  3. Yeomans said a week or so ago that the high pressure shit was moving more toward the midwest and we'd get some relief. Fuck this.
  4. Barbary / Bill's was at or near the top of the list. Small, 4-story hotel, nice, easy to navigate and no rat maze, cheap, fantastic location, mid Strip. Craps tables were the best with smartass but fun dealers. Harold may have been the best pit boss ever. Cocktail service was great. You'd hear Big E in the afternoon from the stage. And at night was the icing on the cake - Drais would open at midnight and those same crap tables were immediately next to the club's restrooms, specifically the women's restroom. At about 3A the parade to and from the restrooms became the show of all shows, all the while you're at a low-min table with constant cocktail service. It did not get any better. Just got back from a 4-day stay. Across the board the Uber drivers, restaurant employees and casino workers were in unanimous agreement that the F-1 is destined to be a cluster. One pit guy we talked to at Paris said they have no idea how they're going to be able to drive in to work. Contemplating housing employees in the hotel out of necessity. Should be fun for them.
  5. Don't piss on the narrative with facts. You get the picture even if others don't (completely).
  6. Seager's importance? Team was 3-6 during that stretch when he was out with the thumb. 16-2 with him in the lineup since the All Star break.
  7. Many of the modern ballparks today with notable backdrops are cool with skylines / downtown framing them. But I love the (vast) openness of the Oracle backdrop - nothing but the sky and water for as far as one can see.
  8. Good start, Fish.
  9. Drops Sept 6. From the guy who did War on Terror.
  10. In Vegas later this week. Rain and 80s over the weekend. Shit is really sideways.
  11. Major league record set last night. Rangers have faced 11 position players pitching this season, breaking Atlanta's record from '21. Lots of white flags.
  12. Scherzer just toying with them.
  13. Final - Miami 5 Houston 1
  14. Good point(s). Water was seen as a refuge but just delayed the inevitable for more than a few.
  15. Atta boy Semien
  16. Holy shit.
  17. Been almost 100 days since we've (airport measurement) seen any sort of significant rain (> 1 inch).
  18. Thanks for posting. That's a tough read that captures the terror and onslaught of the hell that was endured.
  19. Get this now. Come on.
  20. Life, come on now. Just need a knock.
  21. Anyone but the Red Cross. We know a lady / artist that sells shirts outside our timeshare so at least we know directly where the money is going. Like so many others, she lost it all.
  22. That toll was from early this morning so I'm sure we'll see a revision pretty soon, unfortunately.
  23. The Maui police chief was quoted late yesterday that only a tiny piece (3%) of the search area had been covered by cadaver dogs. So yeah, unfortunately, that could be the case.
