I mute the tv and pickup the Astros radio broadcast. You have to synch it up because tv is ahead of radio but that is easy with the delay tv button.I do that too. I usually end up a little behind GameZone

I quit sling and moved to Youtube TV. I would at least use the free week during this round of the playoffs.YouTube TV, Fubo, HULU, etc. all seem to offer a free week. Try them all and then choose your favorite. I’m using FUBO TV after trying several providers, mainly because of ATT SportsNet is only on my it. Unless I’m mistaken

Got to give the three teams competing for the AL Wild Card some credit for doing it without really ever tanking. And it would be real easy for the Rays and A's to tank, what with their already lousy attendance.
With Snell and Glasnow returning, along with Morton, the Rays are a team you don't want to see in a 5 game series.

I'm not really a fan of the Texans, and even less of a fan of the Cowboys, but I still watch most of their games. I root for the players not the owners or the coaches or the GMs. The Cowboys look pretty good this year. The Texans are better than I expected. The Saints are only interesting because of Brees, although Kamara is pretty awesome.

I think 1980 was tougher for me to take than '86 but I definitely hate the Mets more than the Phillies. When I lived in St Louis (85-94) and the NL only had 2 divisions, I pulled for the Cards against anyone but the Astros. Once the NL went to three divisions and the Cards and Astros became rivals, I started hating them. The Co-ards incident and the hacking only intensified my hate.

That's not to say I don't like freshwater or warm water fish, just prefer the fish caught in colder waters.

When they let other things, like allowing themselves to be in bed with one of the parties, get in the way of the fullness of their job they compromise themselves and end up fucking over their own impact.There is no "free press" anymore, and there may never have been.

A strain or sprain of a tendon, ligament, or muscle (but not a tear) seems more likely. Those can cause constant pain and severe muscle spasms and require inactivity and several days time or longer to heal.

It's not like he should be starting over Brantley, Springer, or Reddick at this point in his career. The way this team is constructed he is perfectly suited to DH in AL parks. Hinch will get him at bats.
I hope I am wrong, but based on his one AB last night, more work is needed in the OF and/or 1B b/f we can see more than one AB from him at the home of an NL team.

« on: July 24, 2019, 12:48:24 pm »His approach seems completely backwards at times. When the winning run is on base and he needs to get that guy in scoring position or to 3B with less than 2 outs, he's trying to hit a 7-run home run...when down by two, with two on, two out and an extra base hit ties it, he's working a walk or bunting. And it seems like it happens regularly. It drives me nuts.I have quit thinking of him as a baseball player and more of as a bold surrealist, as a spontaneous artist not as a well planned stat-head analytical type. He improvises. He flies by the seat of his pants. When he is in the box rarely does he have a plan other than see the ball, hit the ball. Jackson Pollack drove people nuts too. So did John Cage. John Zorn.

I guess the settled on “cocksucker” and the other “c” word as two of their guns in that fight. The juxtaposition of profanity with Victorian prose is startling yet effective.
I think you can still say "cunt" if you are quoting dialog from television. But you have to use quotation marks and never call anyone one that--regardless of their droopy eye looking like one or even if their flapping mouth bears resemblance to one.
Also, just genius, pitch-perfect lines such as:
“Here’s my counter-offer to your counter-offer: go fuck yourself!”
Who here has not wanted to use that phrase at work every day since the day they first heard it?
I've really been wanting to say, "Won’t take long before he honors the rigors of his putrid fucking nature."

Rip Griffin donated a bunch of money and got the Red Raiders a real stadium and some other facilities, like indoor practice capability for harsh Lubbock winters. Then Kirby Holcutt was hired as A.D. and he hired Tim Tadlock who turned the program from an also-ran into a power.
Tadlock is a master of player development, which is what's needed to pull a program up from the bottom. Now, with the Red Raider's success, Tech is starting to see better recruiting which will hopefully keep us in the mix for Omaha for some time to come.

I've got it cued up to watch and judging by the reviews and trailer, looks like a very good documentary about the Red Wings employing an all-Russian five on the ice at one-time strategy. Opinion?The Blues are NHL Champions.

I wish Coach Martin well in retirement. He was one of the best coaches and role models in college baseball. He'll be missed.He had an outstanding career, that can not be argued. A lot of good players flowed through the school during his tenure.

« on: June 19, 2019, 02:33:41 pm »He did not setup to block the plate. The throw made him move into the area where a clear path was available for Kemp. Hence he has to catch the ball before he tags a runner and in order to catch the ball, he had to shift and block Kemp's clear path. It's a judgement call at that point if the possession of the ball was evident or not. It was close, but I believe he had possession and was only blocking the plate becase in order to gain possession, he had to shift his body into that position.So Kemp could have bowled the catcher over in an attempt to jar the ball loose.

Cannot believe he held him up.I wasn't as sure as you guys were about Bregman scoring, but man, when an opportunity like that presents itself you must attempt to capitalize on it. If the other team makes a miraculous play, you tip your hat to them and go on. The Astros did nothing and got nothing. Hell, they didn't try to get anything. They just said, fuck it.

Cavan went yard again. He's also played LF, RF, 1st and 2nd bases, since his debut.

Not hotels, mind you. I'd never be so crass as to defile the GZ in that way.

Maile is an excellent pitch framer. On balls slightly outside it seems by the time he closes his glove, it is within the zone.

Tony Kemp is a good second baseman. It is easy to see it's his natural position.
