  1. This is Christian Nationalism, and it is oh so very fucking dangerous. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushes pastors to run for political office During a private meeting at Ed Young's Second Baptist Church in Houston, dozens of right-wing Christians strategized how to win seats in the 2024 elections. As millions of Texans prepared to stare at the sky Monday to glimpse the total solar eclipse, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick joined his pastor Ed Young in a prayer circle at Houston's Second Baptist Church, where they embraced conservative kingmakers and called for pastors and believers to run for office. "If we don't win in 2024, we lose this nation," Patrick said ahead of the November elections, while standing on a small stage at the church's massive Woodway campus. "Today, it is a battle of darkness and light. There are people who pray to God, believe in God, raise their families in God's work and there are people over here who don't believe in God and want to kick God out. They hate God. That's the battle we're in." Patrick, a longtime member of the SBC-affiliated megachurch and one of the most powerful Republicans in Texas, attended the pastor's private luncheon organized by the American Renewal Project (ARP), a group founded by anti-gay Dallas political operative David Lane. The ARP has enlisted North Carolina's GOP Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson to recruit and train clergy and congregants to win seats on local school boards, city councils, county commissions and on the state legislature. The project's Houston meeting represented the first of 20 gatherings across Texas. "We need America to get out of the chaos and come back to peace," said Patrick, who called North Carolina's Robinson a friend. "Whether its pastors or just believers, they need to stand up and either run for office, support people running for office…" and register citizens to vote in elections. Patrick drew applause for praising anti-abortion state and federal laws and for verbalizing anti-immigration rhetoric alleging that "millions" of people including "criminals, sex offenders, and child abusers" were crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. He also claimed the Biden administration refused to do anything to stop the border "chaos" because migrants mean future Democratic voters. "I'd rather be kicked out of office for my positions than kicked out of Heaven for my positions," Patrick said. "Vote me into office and vote me into Heaven." The speech a little more than a month after Pastor Young delivered a ranting sermon during which he referred to migrants coming into Texas as "undesirables," "garbage" and "raff" and suggesting that the United States is already "lost through foolishness." Ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, Young referred to the Democratic Party as "some kind of religion that is basically godless" and called for his congregants to vote out local officials. On Monday, Lane, the founder of the American Renewal Project, said 50 pastors and religious leaders ran for various political seats in North Carolina in 2022 to fight in "a war between God Jehovah and the false god of secularism." Lane aimed to replicate his successes in Texas and encourage more than 100 believers to run for statewide office in the coming years. "The American culture is nothing but the manifestation of the false religion that's governing America," Lane said. "If we're going to save the country for our kids and theirs, we have to move into the public square in obedience to Jesus' Kingdom" which he believes was assigned in the Gospel of Matthew. Patrick echoed the need for Christians to prepare for a sort of spiritual warfare during the "battle" of November elections, his words seemingly in line with to the aims of Christian nationalism, an ideology that seeks to merge American and Christian identities. "If we get ready for battle in the election in 2024, I believe the victory will be the Lord's," Patrick said. "But we have to stand up and fight.” The lieutenant governor spoke with certainty when saying "we're all going to Heaven" in the room with pastors and others wearing pins of an American flag with a cross. "We're already saved. We're gone," he said. "But what about the future? What are our children and grandchildren are going to inherit?"
  2. Been going to the dome with pops since before I can even remember being there. Stood in line for hours to get Nolan Ryan to sign his autobiography throwing heat only to have them cut the line off like 4 people ahead of us. My old man then looks at Nolan and says "Hey man you're his hero" and so Nolan waves me over asks me my name and signs my book. I was always rocking my Astros gear on the beach in St Thomas during the 100+ loss years. I never expected the 7 straight ALCS run but damn if 2023 (putrid roster management) and 2019 (WTAF) don't sting it would have been sweet to have been sitting there alongside the Yankees dynasty from 1996-2003 (4 WS wins, 6 ALCS wins) instead we are going to be looked upon as 2nd fiddle despite the historic consistency.
  3. I did not realize what had been going on with Derka. Damn. He is going to win this championship. Do you have a way to get in touch with him @ztejas so we can get him paid?
  4. Check out my posts on the football, Rockets and Texans threads for each team’s past season. I have been optimistic about each and am happy about the progress they all made. Like everyone here, I hated how the Astros finished last season. I’m pissed at how we’re blowing opportunities to win another WS with Dusty’s moronic decisions last year and with the idiots in charge this season. Once this window closes for good, it’ll be another decade at best until we are good enough again to contend for a title (if we’re lucky to have a guy who knows what he is going unlike Dana).
  5. Let's look at WR for this class, as it pertains to reasonable targets for Texas. Elite Lockett - Elite components: 6'7" wing span, extra large hands, great high pointer. Situation: Texas leads. Moore - Elite components: Track star speed. Most explosive WR out of his stance in this cycle nationally. Situation: A future state glimpse of recruitments between Texas and LSU. Both have a lot to sell. Both are putting WRs in the NFL this cycle in high rounds. The guy will have ex-teammates on both teams. NIL is a factor. LSU's NIL, irrespective of hagiographic shit being pumped out in a documentary, is limited. They simply cannot throw major NIL dollars at every spot. Do they say "fuck it" and sacrifice other targets at other positions in order to win here? Maybe. There are a lot of people who think this one flips. I could see either outcome right now. Ffrench - Elite components: Route running. Optionality, can play all WR positions well. Excellent yet undercoached in typical state of Florida recruiting ways, leaving significant developmental upside. Situation: There are plenty of good reasons for this guy to go to any of the schools he's considering. OSU's record with WRs and the NFL is strong. FSU is about to put guys in the league this cycle too. Tennessee, sure. Miami is regionally relevant. NIL is likely a big deal here. No one between OSU, Tenn, or Texas can claim a legit advantage here in that regard. High Quality Talent W/out an Elite Skill or Trait Johnson - You could argue that this guy possesses elite speed with sub 11.00 100 times while also playing multiple sports. He's not ranked as an elite player because 1) he plays for a 3a school and most of his footage is just him catching the ball wide open and running away from everyone and 2) he has a very thin frame, akin to that of Worthy. Texas leads. Harris - Average measurables for a WR. Plays for an elite football program that is a CFB prospect factory. Ceiling may be limited. Apparently has excellent hands and plays the position really well. Does not possess elite speed. Seems kind of obvious that Texas leads. McCutcheon - Insane production numbers. Probably limited only to slot in college and allegedly is leaning towards OOS. Texas is hosting him for an OV, at least as of this time, but they have not pushed as a priority. Marsh - Good size, lacks elite speed, apparently has excellent hands. He has a helicopter parent who is a legitimate distraction. The player has alleged attitude issues, but given his personal life without a dad and a mom likely heading to prison, maybe that's a nurture/environment thing. Apparently, ATM isn't really an interest for him. He's pushed for interest from Texas. OU likes him. Choice - This dude has great height and uses it well. I don't know about his track times but he doesn't look like a blazer. Apparently, he's a heavy OU lean but has a UT visit scheduled. ---- I might be missing something, but that's the 8 targets I feel like we hear about the most. Texas will take between 3-4, it seems. How does that mix shake out? Irrespective of how the services are ranking him, Johnson looks like a staff priority. I think he is the most likely player to get the "we want you, but we need to know what you're going to do now before we are forced to make other choices if you're not on board" treatment here in the next few weeks/months. So I think they land him. Lockett is a must get. He has visited Texas far more than any other school and they are doing everything they can to land him. I think they land him during his visit or shortly thereafter. Competition is more or less "the field" which is also good. That leaves 1-2 other spots. I doubt they land both Moore and Ffrench. I think it is likelier that they don't land either of them. Nonetheless, let's assume Texas pushes a ton of chips in on Moore and the LSU offense this seasons is a shadow of its former self. So who is your number 4? If it is Harris, great, that keeps SoCal's attention on the program and Sarkisian saves his biases. I'd rather punt on #4 unless Ffrench pulls the trigger. I like McCutcheon but clearly that isn't the staff's opinion or they're just not getting much back from him. The portal will have a ton of options and there is no reason to believe that Texas, while putting more WRs into the pros and Arch Manning waiting in the wing, with Sarkisian's offense, won't be a premier landing spot for the best WRs in the portal, yet again. What's everyone else's mix?
  6. Your hope is wrong. There are only two options: 1) Trump wins in 2024, and we never have another actual functional election again. 2) Trump loses in 2024.....and immediately begins his (successful) campaign for the nomination in 2028. Because yeah, he ain't gonna die. Not anytime soon. He'll live to be 95, at least. Trump is not going away any time soon. Losing doesn't stop him, because he simply declares that he didn't lose and the base believes him....and the rest of the GQP falls in line. None of this gets any better until he dies. That's it. That's the only thing that can help at all.
  7. I guess everyone on staff is just phoning it in the rest of the season at this point.Pierce is shit, its obvious. We win inspite of him. My luck, watch, the little fuck will barely squeak into to the post season and go on a run. Ughhhh
  8. Next year is going to be an interesting year. Right now you have juniors (like Hunter) who are playing against guys 2 years older and more experienced than them (thanks to Covid). The more experienced guards typically win in March (as evidenced by UConn just winning the title with a pair of 5th year guards). And every good team has a number of these players. Most of the good tourney teams had 3-4, we had four ourselves. Next year, those juniors are going to go from being relatively inexperienced, to being the most experienced players in college basketball. I really think it is crazy to want Hunter to hit the portal. He is going to look much better next year going against younger players, and that isn't even factoring in another year of offseason shooting and maturity. Plus the team is in desperate need of some continuity with all the guys graduating. I badly want Hunter and Mitchell to stay and I want us to put better, more complementary pieces around them this year. Weaver + Hunter + Tre Johnson + Dillon Mitchell + Kadin Shedrick (plus an elite lead guard and an elite big man) could be a very good team in 2024-2025 as talent and experience level in CBB takes a step back.
  9. So most people here outside of Lenny understand that an individual data point is not information. I am interested in the signal not the noise. Efficient market theory says you can't time the market. Mostly true, but you can be a little smarter. You can see trends. So for example, I think this is four in a row that came in above expectations. Of course my thesis is that this is driven by money printing. Said money printing has started to move up at a rate that is totally out of control. We've reached the steep part of the curve. Jamie Dimon discussed this recently: Every asset class is going to be affected. We've mostly got over the idiots saying "it can't happen here", so it's a much more rational discussion. Almost certainly the disaster hits within five years, possibly sooner. It really depends on when we go into recession. Deficits >12% during economic expansion are unheard of in our history. The government is borrowing almost 50% of what it is spending NOW, before the recession. Financial repression is a thing, everyone will sell their bonds and get out of the dollar when they realize what we've done. What Raoul Pal said about "we are all debt slaves" was really powerful. Pal's Bitcoin argument has some holes, for example I am not seeing a flood of money into BTC today, but regardless, I am positioning the portfolio to benefit from the inevitable. It seems like the money printing is finally driving prices up. I mean, I was a decade early and all, but here we are. It's not an argument I wanted to win. I blame mostly the 535 ladies and gentlemen of Congress. I hope they all get uncurable leprosy.
  10. Stars win. Magic number to clinch Central down to two, three to clinch the West. Rangers lost in the East. Rangers at 110 points, Stars have 109 but we have a game-in-hand on them. Canucks host the Coyotes tomorrow. As far as possible first-round opponents go, the Predators clinched a playoff spot tonight and are at 95 points. Defending champ Vegas is at 92 but have two games-in-hand on Nashville. I would think Vegas would rather play Vancouver than Dallas in R1 if possible. Myself, I’d like to avoid them as well in the first round because as either @Beau Vine or @Longhorn_Fan68 said, the Knights are about to get really, really “healthy.”
  11. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I may be wrong. But I think people fail to appreciate that the environment is about to change again. 5th year Covid players greatly inflated the talent level in the portal. You are still going to have a ton of players in the portal, but they won’t be nearly as impactful. And a lot of them will be one year rentals instead of 2-3 so there will be less continuity. Imagine if we only got one year of Carr, Allen and Bishop. Take out all the 5th year players this year and we have a completely different tournament. I doubt UConn wins without Newton and Spencer.
  12. Thanks for the heads up about Baker, gents. I'm happy to wrong on this, but by my lights Baker is the one head-to-head we've won with Oregon. I'm not saying Oregon is 100% winning every time, but that Nike money makes pulling kids from California a pain in the ass. Other than Baker, the kids we've pulled from California weren't really on Oregon's big board. I'm specifically thinking of LTG (battle with ASU), Moore (Louisville), Shannon (not really a battle with anyone), and Maalik (same). There may be others. Of course, it's possible my ass is still chapped from losing kids like Ashton Porter and the other DL they've pulled from east Texas. We almost lost Kelvin Banks to those fuckers. My point is that Baker is one guy. Is that a trend? I'm sure some of y'all know better than me, but going against Nike seems like an uphill battle. Not just in terms of how much NIL they can offer, but the level of organization and professionalism Oregon's association with Nike lends to its NIL program. But hey, maybe Marcus Harris is worth the effort. And maybe I'm just being a big sloppy pussy about Nike/Oregon.
  13. March Madness has ended and the NBA regular season will follow in a few days. Feels like the right time to set our sights on the upcoming summer Olympics. Team USA has landed in Group C with Serbia, South Sudan, and TBD which means Team USA is going to have to overcome Joker to open the games. The biggest question to date is who will be Team USA this go around. Obviously hoping for a "Death Squad" this go around with names like LeBron, Curry, Durant, Booker, Davis, Butler, Embiid, Tatum, and so forth. Don't believe we have any final confirmations - yet. We'll see. If Team USA gets the right players in the lineup and actually focus on winning the Gold, this should be fun. Can't remember the last time I looked forward to basketball at the Olympics to this degree.
  14. Thank the Maker, Jota is back in training. If he want to have any shot of winning the league, with help obviously, we need him in there. Also, there are reports that the club has a verbal agreement with Amorim. Also, the Saudis are said to be readying a pursuit of Mo. I love Mo and I would love him to stay. But if Michael Edwards can get a huge haul for him. Go, take the money, and run.
  15. For the first time this season, a team not named Oklahoma sits atop the Top 25 poll. The Duke Blue Devils are the new No. 1 team according to Softball America. The Sooners drop to the second spot after losing their first Big 12 series since 2011, falling to Texas. Oklahoma State, Texas and Tennessee round out the next three spots. While Oklahoma does have a win over Duke, that came on Opening Day, a day that was before we knew the star Claire Davidson would become and that Jala Wright would emerge as the team’s ace. Head-to-head is considered but teams can also drastically change between now and then. Why didn’t Texas jump above Oklahoma? The Longhorns’ weekend was the most impressive weekend for any team this season. However, just last week the Longhorns were blanked twice by Lexi Kilfoyl and Oklahoma State, and Texas has three more losses this season than Oklahoma does. The Cowgirls also took care of a Houston team that also handed Texas a loss. Despite Tennessee’s big series win over Georgia without Kiki Milloy, Texas did go ahead of the Lady Vols due to the significance of the series win over the three-time defending National Champions. Stanford, LSU, Florida, Georgia and Texas A&M finish off the Top 10. The Cardinal remain the highest-ranked team in the Pac-12 but have yet to face Washington and UCLA. The winner of LSU and Florida’s Monday rubber match should get a boost in next week’s poll. Although Georiga has hit a rough patch, the Bulldogs have been a Top-10 team all season long. The Aggies grab the wide-open 10th spot after winning their fourth SEC series and are still in contention for the regular-season crown. Arkansas makes a leap to the 13th spot after securing series wins over Georgia and Missouri. Kansas re-enters the poll after another Big 12 sweep and Virginia joins the poll after its third ACC series win. https://softballamerica.com/2024-softball-america-top-25-poll-week-9/
  16. Who said I trust Trump? I do not. I am, generally speaking, pro-defendant yes. So I appreciate the rights that are afforded those who take advantage of them (sometimes that's an issue of nothing but money, sometimes it's not). The very issue we are discussing is the supersedeas bond and whether it is adequate under the law. Neither I nor gator are assuming that it is. We are explaining that Trump's lawyers likely have little or no control over the bond document itself and whether it is adequate under NY law. That is mostly or entirely the purview of the bonding institution. Whether Trump and his lawyers made misrepresentations to the court about his financial condition to secure the reduced bond is a separate issue from the bond document itself. As noted above, reduction of the bond from the full judgment amount to some fraction of the defendant's net worth is not a novel concept. It is embodied in the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, for example “the amount must not exceed the lesser of:(A) 50 percent of the judgment debtor's current net worth; or(B) 25 million dollars.” And it is present in the law for the benefit of the little guy facing a jumbo judgment. Is it possible that Trump's lawyers instructed the bonding institution to work in some unlawful loopholes to the bond? Fuck yeah it is. But that's going to require some proof, not an assumption that that is the reason for the inadequacy of the bonding instrument. And it's risky as hell, because the court could order the institution to make good on the bond, regardless. Either way in this process, the judgment will be at least partially secured or James will be permitted to execute. It's basically a win-win for the plaintiff. If you consider the right to execute a win. Although watching the execution might be a total blast from the "fuck with Trump" perspective, its purpose is to satisfy the judgment and from that perspective, it might not be so much fun for James.
  17. My takeaways from the TCU invitational: CSB Part II: Coach Metzger recognized me from the Long Beach tournament and stopped by to chat. He seems excited about the building process and establishing a solid foundation for the program. Talked a little about the mixing/matching of the duos and the winds on Sat. Again, it impressed me that he took a few mins to talk to someone who he doesn't really have anything to gain from, other than fan support and enjoying talking vball. I'm re-reading my post from LBSU on 3/17. I'll add any noteworthy changes or continuations of those observations as well as new observations In my 3/17 post, I commented on our youth. You can still tell we're young and the late start to the season has us at a disadvantage. While it seems like we did clean the miscommunications up a bit since March, they are still there. Switching partners will contribute to the persistence. I think our playing up and down to competition is another sign of immaturity. How do we lose to HCU and, the next day, beat them and nearly beat a top 5 team on their home court? Also a sign that we don't have a winning culture in place yet. The wily craftiness and mentoring that comes from a few beach upperclassmen would be awesome for this team. Most of the teams we play against have a handful and I can't wait until we have a few of those. We'll just have to grow it. I hope the indoor upperclassmen (Devin, Jenna, Riley, Emma, etc) are able to mentor the beach girls a bit, but a) I know that it's a challenge to bridge that beach/indoor gap and b) mentoring when you're not a full timer is going to be a challenge due to face time and perception from the full timers I noticed the 1s and 2s starting to mix in more angle and show blocking... the execution on those calls were often underwhelming. I noticed the lower teams continue to just call line blocks and pat their hip during the rally. That's probably fine, but there are some players who look for that and can use the hip/butt pat against you. In my 3/17 post, I said "I don't see a clear #1 on this team". What I meant was "a #1 on the level of the 1s from a top 5 team" because that's where I expect us to be in ~2 yrs. After watching the 1s more this past weekend, I think Hashman has the potential to be that next year. Maybe Butler in 1.5-2 yrs. I struggle to get a good feel for Robertson's future upside. She doesn't look out of place on Court 1 - just wondering what her ceiling is. What happened to McCloskey? I really liked what I saw from her at LBSU. I did notice something and didn't want to pry with those in attendance. Don't want to mention it here unless something was publicized already. Butler looks very promising going forward. Lots of individual talent and seemed to mesh well with Devin's game where other littles seemed to struggle - indicates to me that she has a good ability to adapt. Devin has good potential if she would consistently hammer the hammer-able balls and smother on the block. She will have flashes and then be passive for a few points. Her serving, serve receive, and bump setting are not major deficiencies from what I saw. She struggles when pulling or if she ends up in the back row after a scramble, which isn't a surprise. I can kind of see why Ava was playing on Ct 1 and 2 early in the year - her ball control and digging are pretty good, but she's going to have to hit the weights and add some power to maximize her side out and blocking game Wright had some struggles with serve receive and some unforced errors. Disappointing because she's really fun to watch when attacking and serving. I didn't watch the 5s, 6s, or indoor girls much. Without deep diving the scores, I noticed a trend where the indoor girls get a lead or win a set and then really tail off. Wonder if it was due to conditioning, getting figured out by opponents, small sample size, ... or me imagining things. I was impressed with everyone's management of the wind on Saturday Trivial Hot Takes Jersey talk not going away... I still don't like the orange tops with the big white stripe in the back. The reverse/away version with the white front is a little better. I noticed TCU had a similar design that looked better. The purple/white may just be a better color combo for that design than orange/white. I don't like our monochrome orange warmups. They look like an orange offering from the George Costanza velvet line We need to get some sweet Texas Beach Volleyball apparel at the Co-Op or wherever. I'm not wearing cotton shirts to play beach vball The scorekeeper had a horns down t-shirt on... As a Wisconsin alum/fan as well, I just can't wrap my head around spending so much of my energy and identity on a Michigan, Ohio State, etc. Volleyball fans/parents can be really annoying. The constant yelling of "side out" or whatever other fan clichés needs to end. There was a TCU fan near me whose encouragement consisted of mentioning "the lead" in 70% of his offerings... that's not an exaggeration. "Get the lead", "nice lead", "keep the lead ladies", "this is a huge lead", "retake the lead"... A couple of TCU fans made some polite jabs about enjoying beating Texas. I played along a bit and gently hinted to them that 1) a team of freshmen, sophomores, and indoor girls playing partial seasons almost beat their #5 ranked team at home and 2) we're building a beach volleyball Death Star (or are we going with Starkiller now?) in Austin, so have fun now. I see a lot of parallels to the 2022 Football team: going through growing pains, developing key players, stocking the roster with top end talent and key depth, a new coach establishing a winning culture. When will this giant's alarm clock start ringing?
  18. Can we go ahead and give Henley the win? That would be nice at least.
  19. First, I'm going to get up and chase the wife around the house. She is pretty good between the tackles, but cries like a little girl when she is taken to the turf. So, I plan on losing that fight. Then, I think I'll make some migas. I love that shit on game day. Next, I'm going to grab a beer and hang-out by the pool and grab a little barbeque. Then, I'll go to the game fat drunk and happy and hopefully hang out upstairs in the air-conditioned lounge if it is open. I'll grab a few more drinks and get the wife liquered up. We will probably leave sometime around the end of the third quarter. And if I don't get too buzzed and tired from the heat, I'll chase the wife around again where I think I will win on the second go round. I'll then fall asleep and dream of the upcoming season. Good times.
  20. For people that don't think going big like we did wins championships, just watch the championship game. South Carolina 51 rebounds to Iowa's 29 rebounds. South Carolina just murdered teams inside and on the boards. We need better guard play but I actually think the formula of this year's team (with Rori) is a mirror image of what South Carolina tries to do.
  21. “I feel guilty about looking at porn so easily online, so we should make it hard on people to look at it” ”I have an unhealthy obsession about people using bathrooms so we should check everybody’s genitals before they go in” ”I feel like the only way we can win elections is by cheating so we should accuse Democrats of rigging elections” “I can’t control myself around young children so I’m going to accuse gay people of being groomers” ”All of my finances are tangled up with foreign countries so I’m going to accuse Joe Biden of taking money from them” ”I want to use the Department of Justice against my enemies and to get me off the hook in my criminal cases so I’m going to accuse the Democrats of weaponizing the DOJ” ”I know most of my supporters are uneducated so I’m going to work on destroying upper education any way I can” and so on
  22. First game I have attended this year, and it was a blast. I thought the Stuver foul was a red in person, but the replay shows a defender in good position, it could have been but also MLS refs tend to call that a yellow when it's farther out. Lucky call there. If we can't figure out something to solve our issues at right back, we're going to need 3-4 goals to win games. Crazy how big of a dropoff it was from Lima to Jimenez, and Gallagher seems less effective on the right than the left. We need to be starting Biro and Gallagher from now on with Jimenez coming in at RB and moving Gallagher to left if Biro is coming out. Or we need to just play 3 CBs. We are currently a fucking sieve in transition. Two wins and multiple players coming on to create goals and chances in the attack, it's a good trend if we can pair it with better defending on counterattacks. I think Wolff needs to figure this out to keep his job, the roster had the pieces to get back into the playoffs. I'll be firmly team Wolff out if he doesn't figure it out this year.
  23. Wait…I was told we were going to win every conference series 2-1….
  24. Maybe we will turn this around at some point, but this looks and feels different than other years when we started slow. Who knows. Baseball is the hardest sport to predict. We just have so many issues right now and for me it’s mainly the offense and consistency. Every fucking game it’s meaningless singles followed by pop outs or strikeouts to 4-5 home runs and a blowout win. The bullpen against the Yankees wouldn’t have lost had we scored fucking runs so why the bullpen does blow ass it would be nice if the offense could produce some runs and have a bigger lead going into the 7th inning.
  25. maybe this win and our hitting in key spots will give us the shot in the arm we need to break out of our funk at the plate. You have to think Patty goes back to Maxwell tomorrow, no? I'm guessing we go Teagan with Estelle in relief?
