    Fuckin' Judge, man... that dude can roll.
  2. Mavs = highest offensive efficiency rating in NBA history. Also Mavs = 2nd worst in nba with 5 mins left in game and score within 5 points.
  3. Well, they were selling beer to go (and their goblets) like hot cakes yesterday, and I was lucky enough to finagle one myself. Line was quite long when they opened up at 3:00; people were down the street, almost to the Shipley's headquarters. Overheard Alice complaining the alcohol license was set to expire, and given that she's up there in age, not in the best of health, and a bit of a miser (in a charming way), it may not have been worth her $$$ to renew it for another year or two, given that she'd have no idea when they'd be able to reopen again. I don't have much experience with the TABC license fees, but apparently they're not cheap, especially for an establishment that sells $3 beers. And apparently they will be selling some of their signs & miscellaneous items - and maybe even their wallpaper - in a couple weeks via their Facebook page.
  4. E-Rod shut down for the rest of 2020. Definitely the right move. Best of luck to him & a safe, speedy recovery. He has a heart condition (Myocarditis) that apparently was exacerbated by his COVID-19 bout. Dangerous damn disease, it is.
  5. Honestly didn't see how big he'd be after Leno went down, but for the first time in a long time, I feel good about keeper going into the next season.
  6. Sub in someone maybe? So-crates?
  7. After this shitshow of a season (and the worst league finish in a quarter-century)... yes, I will still very much enjoy it.
  8. Wow, a red. That escalated quickly.
  9. He did. And my dumbass was saying right as he was doing it, "Uhhhh... what is he doing? Slow it down..." I love being wrong.
  10. OBAMA-YAAAAAANG!
  11. Time for some subs? Saka, plz.
  12. Damn, shitty injury for Pulisic. Rivalry aside, he sure is fun to watch.
  13. A bit of a momentum shift in the latter part of the first half. Arsenal definitely looking like the better side leading into half. Playing a bit risky, but they kinda have to at this point. Looking forward to Saka subbing in during the 2nd half. Should be a fun one. COYG!
  14. Ok, now we got ourselves a match.
  15. Yeah, it also sucks how a so-called marquee franchise like the Yankees only has one WS title to hang its hat on this century. Rivalry has been a bit one sided lately, maybe y'all can catch up. But best worst of luck finishing this disaster of a season.
  16. Fuck Chelsea. That's all I got for now.
  17. That fucking sucked. Love Luka, but he’s gotta take it up a notch at the end of the game. (Yes, the first meaningful game in forever, it’s not a fair assessment, I know.) Helluva game, unlucky to not win there.

    If you do the podcast thing, today’s episode of The Lead (produced by The Athletic) features Daniel Bard’s comeback story. Worth a listen. https://theathletic.com/podcast/99-the-lead/?episode=228 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lead/id1478448344#episodeGuid=gid%3A%2F%2Fart19-episode-locator%2FV0%2Fh1DteD3XrioNBLZRRvJLr7LQ_tucu4kSEoiqp17DVQg

    This does not bode well. If baseball can’t get this thing under control, there’s no damn way football will, either.
  20. Can anyone find odds on Vazquez for AL MVP?

    I already feel sorry for whichever team wins this third-trimester abortion of a season. (Aside from a couple teams)
  22. Wasn't sure where to post this, but RIP to a real one. The Tall Texan was one of my favorite dive bars ever, and the first I regularly frequented when I moved to Houston a little over a decade ago. https://houston.eater.com/2020/7/30/21348383/alices-tall-texan-houston-closed-permanently-august-2020
  23. Cowboys are canceling season tickets this year. (Buddy of mine just got an email from the team. They’re offering refunds for the tickets or credit toward the 2021 season.)

    (Obviously a parody account, but you may have done a double take. The dude showed up in the stands at Fenway for the next game last time he was suspended. Probably not a good idea this time around.)
