  1. March 12, 1987. May be off a day or two. That was the beginning of it.
  2. Sound basic but anything but that. Little twinge of sweetness in 'em. Goodness.
  3. The Cro-Magnon needs to cut his hair.
  4. Yup.
  5. Harlan is do damned good. He and Cooperstein are the only pxp guys I've ever heard who can make each possession seem like the game is hinging on it.
  6. Fucking butterfly pansies. That's a 15-second review for a common foul. Fuck you Javie.
  7. The ushers in that wasteland of bleachers occasionally seemed just as drunk as some of the fans. There was no enforcement on some of the signs, gestures and obscenities directed at Ricky. But he didn't get pissed, he just turned up his game to another level and gave just as well as he took. Never seen an athlete, an elite one, like him in that respect. But playing outfield, pre-pitch clock, and you've got tons of time to waste. He wasn't going to waste it. He embraced and made good use of it in his own special way.
  8. The bleachers in that thing should have had their own lost and found section. But three candy bar labels would get you a freebie and when RIcky Henderson / his chatter were in town there was nothing better than a first row GA seat. He never failed to entertain, at bat, on the bases but more so when in the outfield between pitches.
  9. That was a tough interview with Nadel. One of the best that game has ever seen. Three decades doing pxp for the team along with another 15 or so years on color with Holtz. The team hasn't been above .500 for a season in a long and having to miss this season just sucks for him. His mental health issues go way deep - all the way from losing interest in things that normally interested him to full-blow panic attacks, and in between. Sad deal. Sounds like he's coping the best he can.
  10. Nadel on Norm's show at 11:30 today. Will be interesting to see how he is doing / how soon he may return. Mental illness is no game.
  11. I could have zero posts, even going back 10+ years with Shaggy post World Series meltdowns and / or 100 losses in '14 and it would have zero to do with someone making a general comment about the trade deadline and the innocuous response to it. Whether it was made on a Rangers thread or not. Put your fan-policing pom poms down and take it easy. If you're still weirdly concerned about things give John Blake a call. 817-533-1972. Move on, it will serve you well.
  12. Posting to a thread can simply be a fan and observing. Do your homework over the years - you'll see plenty of posts in the Rangers threads and about zero in the Astros threads. No need to be a douche. If it's something you can possibly avoid.
  13. Total attendance for the 4 games in Oakland - 25,547. And that included the enormous guy sitting behind home plate on Saturday who was counted as 2 people. Correct.
  14. That is the biggest man I've ever seen sitting.behind and to the left of home plate.
  15. Homeless dude jumped off of Congress overpass into traffic on Ben White a few months ago. Bounced off of 3 cars. That's nightmare materials for those drivers.
  16. https://hydromet.lcra.org/coa
  17. That F1 circus is going to be insanity beyond insanity.
  18. Jackson is such a beating.
  19. Crossing the border and (bigly) heading this way.
  20. 186 years old, or thereabouts, and going strong. https://nypost.com/2023/05/11/worlds-oldest-dog-bobi-turns-31/
  21. And the rats, possums and other animals in the bowels of that hell hole? I'm guessing there were actually 1,000 people at that game. Pathetic.
  22. Mark Jackson has been and remains an idiot.
  23. People that call me "brother" when I'm not their brother.
  24. Anyone who's ever been to Bracken Cave to see the bats can appreciate the coachwhip and the work they do on the ones that just don't fly very well. One of many cool things about Bracken. If you've never been you should.
  25. If you're looking for cancellation of kids' soccer games on Saturday you may be in luck.
