Re: that guy who had beer thrown on him.  I saw much the same thing happen during a regular season game in the Wrigley Field bleachers.   A guy was there with his woman and the sCrubs fans kept haseling him all game long because he was wearing Astros gear.  I think he got moved to a better position too...

Chicago Cubs fans are close cousins of New York Yankees fans..

I agree 100%.  When the Astros were a young, upstart, plucky underdog, they were beloved.  But after a few years it's "alright...enough of this".  I want the Astros to be the team that everyone is tired of seeing in the World Series.

He is pitching tonight in the first game of the Midwest League Western  Division Semi-final series against the Cedar Rapids Kernels.  Through four innings he has shown excellent command of a FB at 92-93,  against a changeup at 74 and a very few curves at 84.   One of his fastballs got squared up for a home run but otherwise he’s been excellent.

Hogwash. Remember Hoffman with the Padres? Masterful changeup that he had only a couple of miles prer hour difference from his four seamer, but it didn't matter. The key to a change up is throwing it out of the same arm slot as the fastball.

Speaking of Mr Hoffman.. he was in Cedar Rapids a couple weekends ago just to say thank you to the team that gave him his start.   Really classy guy.

One of my contemporaneous guesses - because Rey's parents being a couple of drunk, junk traders was a little jarring after the build up from Ep VII - was that Kylo was lying just to piss her off and draw her in.  Regardless of what Johnson intended (considering he shredded pretty much everything else, one assumes his intention was the no-nothing parents thing to be true too), this is the easy fix.  It can be done with a single line of dialog...from Luke's force ghost.

They need to show us why she's instantly better at anything she touches than anyone else who may have years of training / experience.  The list of examples is endless, but she:
- flew the Falcon like she'd been born to it (eh? oh)
- fixed the Falcon when Han couldn't
- bested Kylo in Jedi mind control
- bested Kylo in a light sabre fight (Kylo was injured by a blast from Chewie's bowcaster)
- bested Luke in a light sabre fight
- resisted the dark side (somehow) when even Luke couldn't first time
- bested Snoke's guards in the throne room fight, including saving Kylo's ass
- blasted Tie fighters out of the air from the Falcon, including a three-for-one shot with her first fucking shot

Seriously.  It's annoying.  She has no arc, even through two movies.  She appeared from nowhere and proceeded simply to succeed at anything and everything to which she turned her hand.  She has never failed and her only emotional challenge has been the loss of Solo, who she barely knew and got over instantly after being consoled by Solo's ex-wife.  Again, Marvel has kicked the shit out of Lucasfilm when it comes to nuanced and challenged female characters.

Amen.    I think the 'zietgiest' of modern storytelling bit them in the ass this time.   We simply don't care about what happens to Rey because she's SuperGirl.      Don't forget she found Luke when no other Jedi had ever even sniffed his whereabouts.    It would not bother me in the least if she were summarily dismissed from the story arc.

The initial trilogy worked because these characters were all flawed in one way or another and in that we recognized ourselves.    This is what ALL good storytelling does.   Even if the character is a superhero.. if they have human flaws, we can easily see ourselves in their place.

It’s so weird that Disney got the MCU mostly right, but completely shit the bed when handed an established, wildly successful franchise.

Yeah, I can't quite figure that one out.   Though to be honest, Episodes 1 - 3 proved that maybe George Lucas caught lightning in a bottle when he came up with the original trilogy.     I think it's that there really is nothing new in the universe.. we're just finding other details of characters we already knew.    Maybe the 'evil' wasn't big enough in the latest movies. 

That said, it appears that Disney is taking the best of Star Wars and putting it into both parks.    That looks fantastic.

pitching changes and injuries don't count.  i think it is four.

But catcher visits DO count.

Thursday night I got an entirely unexpected 19 points out of Ebron (TE), and I was feeling pretty good about things. Then everybody took Sunday off and I got destroyed. And my genius move of dropping Boswell as my kicker and picking Mason Crosby was a spectacular failure, as Crosby missed three FG attempts and a PAT. Womp womp.

Thanks for dropping so many points!    It seems this year my team has only been able to stay alive by the other team having disasters.
