    Was Austin LBJ a powerhouse back then or something? 4 players on the UT roster. Actually there's a bunch of AISD dudes there. Hard to imagine nowadays.

    I contemplate the morality of suicide.  (I’m not suicidal and quite a happy person).

    I get suicide for those that are terminally ill and understand suicide for those that are mentally ill. 

    I do not understand suicide for those that get in a personal or, say, a financial bind.  Anecdote:  A guy I knew went broke and was on the line for some serious debt and offed himself, leaving behind a wife and 2 girls.  To me, that route seemed selfish, pride filled and immoral.  

    What says Surly?

    I'm someone that has dealt heavily with suicidal thoughts in the past. I can tell you that for me, I had convinced myself that the "immoral" thing to do was to continue on living. I had that much self-hate. You tell yourself that you're a burden on everyone you love and it's selfish to be alive, because when you die everyone will be better off. You can't possibly imagine a future where things are better or even different, so you lose all hope.

    Too bad for him and the Yankees his GB% is at a career high and his contact% is at a career low this season.  

    The Yankees were steamrolling along while he struggled, so there’s no worries there. Now he’s finally starting to heat up big time in the past week or so after his horrendous start. Prepare your butts. 

  4. I think The Beatles fucking suck. I told a friend this and he said something about how "they revolutionized music, they were the first band of their kind. They were amazing". Well by that logic I guess the Wright Brothers are the greatest pilots of all time? Stupid. 

    I enjoyed watching Johnny Manziel play in college. 

    The DH is awesome and the NL should have it. 

    Saving Private Ryan is monumentally overrated after the first 20 minutes. 

    God Bless America is possibly the worst song I've ever heard. It also has no true historical or patriotic importance.

    LeBron is better than MJ ever was.

    San Antonio is overall the best city in Texas. 

    The bean & cheese taco is in my opinion the worst thing that whites have ever done to Mexican culture. You guys might not have invented it but it sure seems to be all your favorite breakfast taco. It's completely disgusting in every way. 

  5. I believe the Cabrini Row Houses are still standing. Blocks and blocks of an abandoned former housing project surrounded by a trendy hipster neighborhood. From what I heard from a friend it's about as close to a post-apocalyptic lawless cityscape as you can find in any developed country. I'd check it out, how often can you see something like that?

    I'm guessing there was a white boy named Rick in Detroit in 1984. The rest is all embellishment. 

    It's based on the life of Richard Wershe Jr, who became the youngest FBI informant ever at age 14. He really did grow up dealing cocaine on the streets of Detroit. So it's basically a movie about a snitch.

    The thought of having a gun safety program in school would be met with histrionics (unfortunately). Hell, I was on the Rifle Team in HS. Does that even exist anymore?

    Yes, JROTC programs still have them. However I wasn't in high school that long ago, and the big thing for the JROTC kids was making the Drill team. No one really cared about Rifle, and from the attention/turnout at the competitions that seemed to be the case at the other schools too. I imagine it's still the same now.

    NEISD here in SA announced that middle and high schoolers will need clear backpacks starting next year.  Of course, band cases, purses, and athletic bags are still OK. 

    That's such a stupid "solution". If you pack enough shit in a clear backpack you can still conceal a gun. Also, I can't think of a big school shooting where the shooter hid his guns in a backpack. I can think of at least 2 where the shooter hid his gun in a guitar case (Northern Illinois & Parkland). Then you have Columbine where the shooters made no attempt to conceal their weapons.

    Yankees are talking about boycotting ESPN.

    USA Today article

    They are upset that ESPN is moving a Sunday game in Toronto from 1:00 to a night game, when they have a doubleheader scheduled the next day in Baltimore.

    The game isn't until July 8, so it might get moved back. MLB office and MLBPA are negotiating with ESPN.

    ESPN bent the knee, game now moved to 1pm. Also the Yankees just lost SP Jordan Montgomery for the next couple years to TJ surgery. Domingo German to take his spot long term at the moment.

    Sutcliffe is an assclown blowhard.  Basically an unpolitical Schilling. 

    Quit listening to him, and more importantly, quit posting his idiocy here.

    (Irony: Sutcliffe and Schilling are two of my favorite players ever.)

    It takes everything I have to not neg you for saying Schilling is one of your favorite players. He's up there next to Ray Lewis as my most hated athlete of all-time. Both just reprehensible scumsacks of human shit. I want to go find my Schilling "bloody sock" rant on shaggyverse now. Cool story and all that, I know.

    Watching his HUDL video again, it's hard to imagine  why he's not a 5-star recruit. 

    Arizona kid. He's just outrunning a bunch of whites and mexicans in all his games. Makes his speed look other-worldly instead of just superhuman, which it is. Another big year statistically may get him to 5 stars, like it even matters. They do know how to grow their speed demon WR's in Arizona though, just look at Christian Kirk and Devon Allen in recent years. Allen wasn't much of a football player but Smith looks far better than he ever did already. Kirk is a better comparison right now.

    Game 7, down a run, man on second, two outs, Edwin Diaz on the mound-

     

    Who do you want at the plate?

    Easy answer is Gleyber Torres. Small sample size but his batting stats in high leverage AB’s are off the charts. Also has 2 walk-offs in only 30 something career games.

  13. I was a huge history buff as a kid and I remember reading about this. Pretty telling that it was never mentioned in any history class I ever attended. I'd wager 99.9% of US adults have never heard of it. Fucking barbaric.

    The riot itself sounds like an over-the-top war movie if you research it. The 50 or so armed black men defending the courthouse to prevent the lynching actually successfully turned back the mob of over 1,000 whites after a gun battle, like Tulsa's version of the Alamo. That's what really pissed off the white mob and kicked off their attack on the black neighborhood. Various shootouts, arsons, and even fire-bombings by plane followed in the days to come. IIRC, an unsung "hero" in all of this is the white sheriff, who refused to turn over the black suspect to the white lynch mob at the courthouse. He and several of his deputies fought alongside the black group to fend off the initial assault. The black suspect, Dick Rowland, actually survived the entire ordeal and was eventually exonerated. He almost immediately moved away from Tulsa.

  14. Fun fact: Fremont High School has produced more MLB players than any other high school in the country, 25. Pretty damn incredible for a ghetto as hell school in South Central LA.

    Yes, keep bragging about a meaningless May victory fuckboi. Houston will own your ass again in October when it matters. 

    Tonight’s win clinched the season-series victory for the Yankees over the Astros. That could become a factor in some postseason tiebreaker scenarios come October, if it comes to that. So not meaningless.
