  1. "Hey Joe" is worthless as a comparison. Somebody fucked my wife, I'da prolly killed him and her, set the scene as a murder-suicide, and moved kids and self to... oh, I dunno, to Denmark or Norway.
  2. She's younger than my two oldest granddaughters. More power to him... as long as he stays the fuck away from my family.
  3. Lost me at "The Rays"...
  4. I've always mused on the idea of building your entire pitching staff on three or four one-inning stoppers and the rest being once-through-the-order guys. Keep the counts down and you can pitch damn near every day. Start by seeing who's "got it" warming up today, pick lefty-righty according to opponent.
  5. DP has not been Strong bad or Herman stupid. He hasn't been Mack good to bad, but he has been late mack bad. I think we're looking to hire a Saban, but without the side trip from LSU to NFL. Apologies for football analogy. No emphasis on anal.
  6. But 12-11 is definitely more fun than 3-2.
  7. Tennessee says "hold my beer." But, yeah, aggy and the other UT look like the class of the tourney.
  8. The season after our first-ever loss to Bama was a complete disaster, true. MacBrown shoulda been fired right then, but he silver-tongued his way into "three more years to fix things" despite the fact that things were broken because he let it happen in the first place. Those extra years were slightly above average, but still trending down. Pierce's last few years have been trending downward, as well. We all agree - most of us, anyway - he's past his peak and doesn't look to be recovering. I don't think he's got the MacBrown Super-salesman genes, but even if he did, I don't think Del Conte is susceptible, so we make the change and devoutly pray that we make the right choice.
  9. I'm not a PIerce hater, but his record the last several years is reminiscent of MacBrown's last few on the gridiron... slowly sinking. Teams that most other schools would be damned happy to have, but not Texas. Well, and not me, either. Almost good enough isn't. Just hope we don't follow DP with the baseball equivalent of Charlie Strong.
  10. At this point, gotta hand it to Schloss. Wouldn't break my heart to see aggy make it all the way to the final final. And lose on a walk-off. Or a robbed winning dinger.
  11. Arbitrary bullshit is arbitrary. I swing my sword and celebrate the Pirate.
  12. Or it would be if it hadn't been aggy...
  13. Probably the best four first games ever. Could only have been improved if the two-run FLA dinger in top of 9th hadn't been robbed.
  14. On the bright side, Two Evil Psychos rolls off the tongue nicely, and is a great band name.
  15. Pretty much what we expected, tho'. 'Night, all. Good game, bad outcome.
  16. Not the most exciting game, but looks like best played so far.
  17. Well, and if the coach had noticed it was a one-game final.
  18. Nah. Majors IME.
  19. Yeah, like I said, woulda been a nope from me. Definitely 50-50, but the circumstances makes it a "fuck that shit, let's keep playing ball".
  20. I was sort of thinking Mrs Pierce, but even she would know that baseball doesn't count points...
  21. The Virginia-FSU game should be interesting. I thought all four of these teams looked pretty damn good, although the nightcap had some bad fielding. Tenn got called what, three errors? I would've put it at least four or five. That first base was playing like he had a visit from Lefty and Fingers with pics of his grandma at the Assisted Living center and an offer he couldn't refuse. Onward and upward, should be some good ones tomorrow.
  22. The check swing was... too damn close to call. I was umping there, I woulda given it the nope.
  23. OK, 11-11. Bottom of 9. Three across, winning run on 2nd. NOW it's a good game.
  24. Just one little change and voila - a new Surly Motto.
