Signs point to RR Express and Astros partnership
« on: September 18, 2018, 12:26:13 pm »
It looks like the RR Express are going to be the Astros AAA affiliate again.  I'm very happy about this since the Dell Diamond is 3 miles from my house.  https://www.statesman.com/sports/baseball/round-rock-express-reaffiliate-signs-point-astros-partnership/D6K4PdWjPufPusUk8Sda4J/

Sorry Nate.  I should've known you've been keeping us up to date.  I typically only keep track of the big club and don't venture to the Bus Ride very often.   I got excited when I didn't see this already posted on the Talk Zone and I jumped at the chance to start this thread.

We're all excited to get the Express back.

Evidently "Bus Ride" is too esoteric a term for some folks to comprehend.

I enjoy how you appear to regard inattention to the resources you and some others provide as a personal affront.

It brings to mind a possibly apocryphal story I once read that has stuck with me. There was a fellow repairing or otherwise manipulating a moving sidewalk in an airport in Sweden if I recall correctly. He became increasingly enraged that significant numbers of passengers chose to eschew the moving sidewalk in favor or the normal, static walkway. In order to entice people onto his moving walkway he subtly and gently increased its speed. I'm sure you can see where this is headed. Greater speeds had no discernible effect on the numbers of passengers electing to use the moving sidewalk. As his ire grew he more and more abruptly increased the speed until at the end the poor souls who did use the moving sidewalk and their carry-ons were hurled off the end of it like some bizarre modern catapult.

When I reflect on all this I always find myself wondering about his thoughts as he was led away from the airport and to the sanatorium. I suspect he would have been more sad than angry, and maybe more pitying than sad, but perhaps that's just my natural optimism getting the better of me.

I thought the Bus Ride was about Metro, now I find out it's about moving sidewalks in Sweden.

You gotta keep up.

Just be careful when you reach the exit.

You should, Nate and company keep that bus ride smooth.
