  1. KC went 1-2 against the Orioles and Twins, then won 4 against the horribad White Sox. This should be an easy 2-1/3-0 series for the Astros, but we know that nothing for this team is easy. KC has a +19 run differential and 15 of that came from the White Sox series.
  2. That reminds me, tonight would be a good time to start a new game of New Vegas... This show looks like it's going to be amazing. Hopefully they don't fuck it up like RoP.
  3. I loved the old 90s X-Men cartoon on the old Fox Kids Saturday morning block. I never thought the animation was bad or had any issues with it, but I was born in 84 and was very young when it came out. Also loved the 90s Spiderman and Batman series. My son is 5 and I can't wait until he's a little older to rewatch all that stuff with him, plus all the good Marvel movies that have come out in the last 20 years. X-Men 97 feels similar to the old series style, and I do appreciate the nostalgia it brings. The stories are good so far, but I wish there were more episodes. I didn't realize it was just 1 a week, but here's the schedule for anyone else that was interested: Here's the official release schedule for X-Men '97: Episode 1: Streaming as of March 20 Episode 2: Streaming as of March 20 Episode 3: Streaming as of March 27 Episode 4: Streaming as of April 3 Episode 5: Premieres on April 10 Episode 6: Premieres on April 17 Episode 7: Premieres on April 24 Episode 8: Premieres on May 1 Episode 9: Premieres on May 8 Episode 10: Premieres on May 15
  4. Although ERA-135 would make for a good vanity plate. If he were my brother, that's what he would be finding under the Christmas tree.
  5. Crazy game, but the bats were alive and they pulled off the W. Vic Caratini had some good at-bats, not just the homer, but they really should start him at first base and give Abreu a rest. There was one at-bat where he fought off like 7 balls and had a really long plate appearance. I love it when guys do that and wear down a pitcher. Even if he got no hits, at least making consistent contact on foul balls is better than whiffing at pitches 18 inches off the plate. Yordan kicked ass as per usual. He had a slow start in that Yankees series, but seems to have found his stride. Seth Martinez did awesome coming into a terrible situation. The Bullpen gave up 0 runs in 8 2/3 innings. Pretty pretty pretty good. Salvaging the series at 2-2 is not bad, as it ties the Rangers with the Angels for first place in the division and the Astros are only 2.5 games back. Still plenty of games to go, lots of things to be excited and worried about. Need to make some adjustments and keep grinding. Verlander will be back soon, and that should solidify the rotation for a while.
  6. Glad to hear it! I may take my wife next Saturday for a night out, as we always enjoy good sushi restaurants. Any specific menu items worth trying?
  7. Larry did do one episode of that show in its first season, and it's a great show for anyone who's a fan of Jerry's guest. When they're sitting in the coffee shop laughing it up over breakfast and Larry says to him, "You've finally done it, a show about nothing!" Great moment, love the two of them together. Nice of them to bring back Jerry to help tie-up the loose end of the show last night.
  8. The Sweat news probably does move him down or off the board for the Texans, but someone else will pick him up in the late 2nd or early 3rd. Jalen Carter was drafted by the Eagles last year, despite having pending legal issues with street racing that killed 2 people. He was runner-up to Will Anderson for Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. I'm sure some teams wish they hadn't passed on him over character concerns.
  9. It hits the wall first, which would be in play. If it bounces out after that, it should be a ground rule double. That Canseco head boink also should have been a ground rule double, since he was clearly inside the field of play. The only time this should ever been in question is when an outfielder tries to jump above the wall, and the ball deflects off him and out of the field.
  10. Kentucky has failed hard in the tournament for 3 years straight. Ever since the NIL became a thing, they lost their recruiting edge and have not been able to out-recruit everyone else. He's not going to do well in Arky, but I'm sure he will make a shitload of money off them.
  11. Any of y'all have thoughts on Ume on White Oak? My son's friend's dad is a chef there, but I haven't tried it yet. He told me to let him know when we make it out there, so he can get us some extra goodies.
  12. That looks cool, where can you find those?
  13. Need to reduce our TOOTBLANs too. I think we are already at 4 or 5 this year.
  14. Who would have thought the Detroit Tigers would be the last undefeated team to start the season?
  15. oof, really could have used that run last inning...
  16. 5 infielders is an interesting choice.
  17. Hell of a performance from our #5 starter. Let's hope the slumpbuster continues for a few more games. Diaz should bat 4/5th every game, he's so fucking powerful. That first homer was a hell of a shot. Bregman may need to move down a couple spots. Dubon to 1st should be considered, or go get a mediocre guy like Belt for dirt cheap right now. Abreu and Singleton cannot be the answer for the whole season.
  18. Yeah but now we don't have to worry about Chas sitting the next 3 games and Dubon batting #2.
  19. Maybe you should blame Dana Brown for signing him to 3 years with no options.
  20. Looks like the Chiefs will definitely be going for a WR in the first round...
  21. So, how did you like your egg? I said you were fine.
