2020 Little League Thread of Dominance
Not LL, but we're taking our 11U select team to Gulf Shores, AL next week for a PG World Series. Our first time leaving the Houston area. Should be fun if the weather allows. Going to be tricky to manage arms and usage.

2021 Houston Astros Thread
It's really a shame that the Astros can't hit now that their trash cans are gone.

My son hit one out for the first time on Sunday in intrasquad action. He's the smallest guy on his team, but only 2 others have taken it deep, and they are the 2 biggest, so he felt pretty good about it. He's still 10, playing 11U ball. 200 ft fence. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
Caden Sterns can kindly go shut up. Nobody hurt him. So what? This is simply the reverse of what athletes are told when they are recruited. Come to SCHOOL X and you'll be lined up with the network to launch a successful career in STATE X. Nobody hurt you. Cry me a river, Sterns.

Meh. Keep the song. Tell the haters to go away. I'm fine with that approach.

My rec is to not spend more than $60. Wilson, Rawlings, whatever. He doesn't need a full on hard/heavy leather glove yet. Get him something he can handle and save your money for age 10+.

Mack - I'm on the SBMSA Baseball Board. Come play with us. We'll have 450 kids at his level. SBALL will be lucky to have more than a few teams. If you have any questions, hit me up. I'm happy to discuss. One thing about SBMSA - sign up in the 1st week. It will fill up quickly.

Voter Suppression
We're experiencing record voter turnout. Voter suppression is a myth. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

RACIST has name on UT advertising school?
Meh. It's a pretty big stretch to take what is being reported and turn it into a big deal.

Sometimes the tournament bling is a lot. My son's team won an 11U tournament put on by Perfect Game. They handed us rings, medals, a banner, a huge trophy, an MVP plaque, and a MVPitcher plaque. I don't know what 2nd place received. I suppose if an organization has a building where it could make a trophy room that would be good, but we're just some dads who don't want to take home any of that stuff!

2020 Golf Thread of Disappoint Yourself
For most of the 2010s I played 5-6 rounds of golf per year. I would shoot between 80-95. I have played 1 round of golf in 2020. On 9/24 I played the Tournament Course at Golf Club of Houston and scored an 89. Front 9: 51 Back 9: 38

2020/2021 Hunting Thread
This afternoon I'm taking my son (10 yrs old) out on his first archery hunt. I guess it's my first archery hunt also. I did not hunt much growing up and have only gun hunted as an adult. We've got a ground blind brushed in near the intersection of 2 game trails at a corner of our largest food plot. We had a game camera malfunction near it, so I'm not certain what we will see, if anything. I'm amped. I hope something walks out and that he can get a shot. I wonder how much he's learning in school today...
