  1. They have mostly make movies for children and regards over the last decade or two, so people don't know how to act in a theater any more.
  2. Corey seems healthy.
  3. Not the best game to show for a defense clinic. I hate these old white sox looking uniforms. I keep forgetting we're the good guys.
  4. Turrrble. WTF?
  5. Yeah, a few miles short of my range. I usually lose it somewhere well outside of Waco when I'm driving back from DFW.
  6. I found the game on 1260 AM, from somewhere around Austin. Staticky but listenable. But now I'm back in front of the TV. Good to hear Eric Nadel again, though. If anybody ever deserved a Bobblehead night it's him...or maybe he deserved to not have one even better.
  7. It was great when they were on WBAP back in the day. You could get it all over the state.
  8. The latter two haven't worked for me this season. It's how I used to listen to games. I'll try to dial into KTON to see if they are still carrying them, but I think they are all the same ownership. I can't pick up The Fan out this far.
  9. The song that clinched HOF for DeMarcus.
  10. Is there over air radio outside the Dallas area where one can actually hear a Rangers game in central Texas in the car? I ain't doin' SiriusXM, because it sucks.
  11. Samsung Flip commercial, kill it with fire. Also qualifies for punchable faces.
  12. If Ohtani can be a pitcher and a DH and leave one and stay in the game for the other, we should be able to have a designated hitter for the good catcher that can't hit for shit.
  13. I'm gonna have to leave and miss the 9th. Might be a good thing for the Rangers, but I'm nervous.

    Glenn Hughes, the voice of rock.
  15. It would have been close with a good throw, which means the Rangers likely would have suffered another shitty call at home. So I'm not going to question it too hard. Leody should have made it a non-issue.
  16. He's assimilating quickly into the classic role of a Rangers pitcher.
  17. If you were to do it make sure it were for one-time publishing rights only. Publications have guys like us over a barrel. I've done small time freelancing for a long time and the pay gets less and less every year. But photographers are a dime a dozen in the digital age, where all you have to do is send a file, not deal with slides, negatives or professional scans. Stock agencies sell freelancer stuff dirt cheap and get usually half of what the publication is paying, which also keeps driving the price of images downwards. At least in your case your type of work is much less available than sports and wildlife. I used to at least make enough to buy some new gear or get repairs once in a while and cover expenses. I keep shooting football because it's what I do, but I pretty much lose money doing it. I've been thinking about cutting back on games, but I don't want to get kicked to the curb altogether. I still love doing it, though I travel a lot less. I don't make anything on wildlife stuff, but I would like to figure out a way to get some return for it to keep covering costs and make a few bucks. But there are wildlife photographers behind every tree basically giving away stuff.
  18. Cole Ragans threw six scoreless innings to get the win for KC tonight. I hope that's not one that comes back to bite the Rangers.
  19. There was still some evidence of life to be found on the searing surface of planet Texas this evening.
  20. Sounds like they don't want to pay, and if they did it wouldn't be much. And it's always tough not really knowing what kind of project it is, whether it's just some goofball doing a book, or it will end up selling a lot of copies largely due to your cover pic. I once inquired about a photo of a gila monster for a cover I was designing for my uncle, one of those self-made books you can sell on Amazon so people can call themselves a published author. He wanted a couple hundred bucks or something. I passed. So I guess it just comes down to whether you want to do it or not. If I thought it looked cool but wasn't going to make any money I would at least ask for some copies of the book.
  21. Dane seems like he wants to stay in the rotation. Nice game.
  22. Cease and desisted.
  23. Corey seems like he's back.
  24. Congrats, Framber. Nice one. Good for my fantasy team, too.
