  1. I’ve been burned by that before too. I can’t figure out why it says that, but it seems to be a regular thing
  2. She’s very free spirited lol She’ll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Vance can’t watch though, or he has to pay a hundred
  3. I keep seeing commercials for this, and have been wanting to check it out. Just haven’t had a chance yet.
  4. The MAGA people are a lost cause. It’s the other republicans that are planning to hold their nose and vote for trump that you hope will change their mind. Dick Cheney and other republicans coming out in favor of Kamala seems like giving those people permission to vote for a democrat. He’s still a piece of shit, but we’ll take all the help we can get
  5. I don’t bet much, but I made a few small bets this summer while in Colorado. Texas over 10.5 wins +140, aggy under 8.5 wins-120, and Texas undefeated regular season at +425. I’m feeling pretty good about the aggy bet after yesterday. Good luck to everyone
  6. The body cam footage somehow makes it look even worse. The dog was clearly playing. No aggression, no growling, no showing teeth. Just bouncing back and forth like dogs do when they’re excited and playing. Also, what a cowardly response from the police department. Just fucking pathetic. I shouldn’t have watched that video
  7. My sympathies go out to the Swindell family, and I hope the situation gets resolved swiftly and in a positive manner. That's for another thread though so I'll leave it at that. I have to disagree with some of the things being said about the intelligence of baseball players. I played at the college level(not at Texas), and I never had a chin beard, never owned a pair of Oakleys, and never drove a jacked up truck. I played with a lot of highly intelligent players in high school and college. I played with someone who is now a doctor, someone who is now a lawyer, someone who went to Princeton and now works on Wall Street, someone who went to the Naval Academy and also has a master's degree. Even some of the players who majored in education and/or kinesiology took Algebra III, Calculus II, and Differential Equations in college. I'm sure at the professional level there are more players who seem like dumbasses, but just because they are uneducated doesn't mean they are not intelligent. As others have said, baseball is known as the thinking man's sport. I don't understand how some of y'all can say you can just turn off your brain and play ball. You should be thinking constantly when playing baseball. The situation changes from pitch to pitch. If you're batting you need to be thinking about the pitcher's tendencies in certain situations so you can anticipate a pitch. You also need to be thinking about the current situation so you know what you need to do to have a successful at bat. If you're fielding you need to know what the batter's tendencies are, and be thinking about what you're going to do when the ball comes to you. When you're pitching you need to be thinking about what pitches the batter likes, and how you can get him to swing at your pitch. There's no turning your brain off if you're trying to play competitively. I will challenge some of y'all to go read I Had A Hammer by Hank Aaron or The Science of Hitting by Ted Williams. I'm sure there are other displays of intelligence out there, but those are the first that come to my mind. Read those books, and then come talk about the intelligence of baseball players.

  9. I might have to go back in time and see the dinosaurs
  10. My wife and I enjoyed it. Just finished last night. Several laugh out loud moments in each episode. I’m curious about when they shot this. There was a reference to hawk tuah in one episode, and that seems too recent for this to already be airing.
  11. That would have gone 600 feet if stadium wasn’t in the way
  12. That was an amazing throw by Yainer! Let’s get the bats going, and go get a win !
  13. Maybe you should worry about the talking points that adversely affect those that are less fortunate than you
  14. I would think it would have been escheated to the state as unclaimed property by now. Search for it at claimittexas.gov and file a claim
  15. Um, excuse me. There’s beer to drink and baseball to watch. My schedule is completely booked
  16. Is aggy wearing navy blue hats?
  17. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 431 9/9: Rarity: 142 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩
  18. It would sure be nice if our bats would wake the fuck up about now
  19. Holy shit that ump hasn’t been calling the low pitch all day and then he calls that?
