  1. It's still surreal to me. Game 6 of the 2011 World Series was a gut punch to me as a fan. For the longest time I thought my team would only be known as the team that was one strike away from winning it all but couldn't get the job done. To see a team like this that no one thought could do it win a world championship, it's pure joy. I was in Arizona for spring training and had a good feeling. Sandy Leon walked off the Royals and we slapped Clayton Kershaw around in a win. I didn't think we'd win it all but I knew we wouldn't lose 100 games this year. Bruce Bochy was just the man for the job.
  2. Don't even bother trying to get a FWST copy. Their cover this morning is a disgrace
  3. Unreal season. I went to Arizona to see the team play and they looked really damn good but I had no idea they'd win the World Series this year. I'm stunned. All those years sitting in the upper deck just me and the wife watching a garbage team and now they're world champions. Wow.
  4. So many of my patients have asked me if I want the team to win tonight even though I have tickets for game 6 and 7. I'm not a selfish fan. Win this motherfucker tonight.
  5. Fuck this shit. One win away from a world championship and this is on the front page?
  6. This season has been so fucking crazy
  7. Oof. Game 1 ratings are in and it averaged 9.1 million viewers which is the lowest in history.
  8. The FTX trial has been nothing short of hilarious to me. SBF has been pushed into a corner to defend every single decision he made. I'm guessing his attorneys realize that this super genius wonder boy can't say "I'm a dumbass and had no idea what was happening at my company" and come across as believable. The real question is how many decades will he spend behind bars? I'm guessing at least 2.
  9. Fuck BYU, fuck their law school, fuck their football program.
  10. #TexasFight #NukeProvo
  11. "Stabbiness from the wide receivers" Ghost of John Mueller playing for KU?
  12. Last night was nuts and definitely tops the environment from game 3 of the ALDS. My ears were ringing after the Corey Seager home run. Loudest I've ever heard the ballpark, even with the Adolis walk off. Tonight should be even more fun. Just a heads up if any of you are going to the ballpark: be prepared to wait. Food AND merch lines were extremely long. We made it to the ballpark around 5:15 and after visiting the grand slam shop and food we didn't get to our seats until 6:45.
  13. They're blaring Creed during the pregame intros lmao
  14. Fuck BYU, fuck their law school, and fuck their athletic program.
  15. I've always heard this phrase but never believed it until 2011. It's never the best team that wins in baseball. The winner is the team that goes out to the field and plays the best that day. There's no doubt in my mind that the 2011 Texas Rangers were the best Rangers team to ever play. The level of talent from top to bottom should be the envy of every franchise. But all we had to do was play the best in 4 games and we only did it for 3. This year feels different. We have incredible talent AND we're playing pretty well on the field too. But I tell you what, Arizona is saying the same thing. They weren't supposed to sweep Milwaukee in the wild card series but they did. They really weren't supposed to sweep the Dodgers but they did. They definitely weren't supposed to force a game 7 in Philly and win but they did. Everyone loves the David v Goliath story but no one ever mentioned that you'd have to face off against David after doing the impossible. But I think the same could be said about the Rangers. The division was ours to lose and we lost it. We barely played .500 baseball in the final 2 months of the season and that included an 8 game losing streak. There's a reason why we haven't been favored in any series until now. I think Rangers in 6 or 7 is the most likely outcome. I want Rangers in 4 even though I'm a season ticket holder that would love to see us win it all in person. Just win baby.
  16. Just checked the ratings from Robert Seidman this morning and Big Noon Kickoff won last Saturday. 2.4 million viewers compared to 1.8 million for College Gameday. I think this is the first time BNK has won the morning ratings showdown
  17. 4 games away from immortality
  18. Non Hispanic
  19. 6 - No. There's a large portion of Texas that doesn't process their water directly through a city. Lots of "water supply corporations" that charge their customers a ton of money for basic water needs. My sister lives under one of them and routinely pays $600-800 a month for minimal usage of water. I'm talking like washing clothes, showers, bath, cooking, etc. It's hard to believe that giving them more funding will result in normal water rates. This one I'm actually open to changing if I get the right information but for now I'm voting no. 8 - Yes. It's hard to believe that some places considered developing countries have high speed wifi on every corner of land yet my parents are still on dial up internet. Our broadband infrastructure is a disgrace. 12 - Yes. This one was tough for me because I voted no on other propositions due to it allowing certain people to play by different rules from everyone else. I despise that stuff. Treat me well or treat me poorly, just as long as you treat me the way you treat everyone else. But this one is written so the final vote depends on the outcome in Galveston County. 99% of Texans could vote yes but if Galveston County votes no then the prop fails. So I say fuck it, let Galveston County decide for themselves. If they save money by doing this then good for them. If they set themselves up for financial ruin then too bad so sad.
  20. He's not getting drafted next year. Take that to the bank. I don't care if he declares or not, he's not getting drafted.
  21. Does it? The last five MVPs in the NFL came from Texas Tech, Cal, Louisville, Michigan, and Boston College.
  22. The production of this broadcast might be the worst I've ever seen on television. Can we turn the boom mics away from the fucking refs? I don't want to hear them baby talk the players or talk over the commentators. Thank god for Craig Way I can listen to something that doesn't sound like dog shit
  23. Drop a nuke on me. This was devastating
