Houston with an 11-2 win over Arlington. Astros are now in first place for the first time since April 3rd when they were 5-2. Houston has won 9 of last 10 and are 12 games above .500 (36-24, .600) since May 20.

10am and we're in the red... "2-hour max practice time. Players are restricted to helmet, shoulder pads, and shorts" Coaches around the state are monitoring their current conditions and will adjust as always. No real threat of missing practice in November December because of this. Hopefully they'll be smart and get the work in early.

Along with leading the West, the Astros now have the same record as Cleveland who presently hold the final wild card spot. Nice change of status in just a few weeks for the club.

We'll be previewing each class over the next few weeks Here is Class 1A/2A

If they had placed a financial penalty on the contractor for failing to meet the deadline, the stadium would have been open.

I just want to get 2 of 3. But a sweep would be nice. Pitching matchups for the 3 game series: Eovaldi vs. Brown DeGrom vs. Blanco Rocker vs. ????

You need to give it a rest, it's 2026. 😎

We cant compare games to practice...games are much easier and less strenuous than practice....I was told by an AT that 95% of heat related issues take place during practice. Games have built in breaks much moreso than practice If we are talking about varsity football games start in the evening....WGBT won't be an issue at 7pm if its an issue for freshman/JV games then push start time back a bit or play Sat AM the hand wringing is typical anytime something new happens...coaches will adapt and adjust just fine

I’m sure the upcoming football season will work out fine despite these new rules and people yelling at clouds shaking their fist…

Hot!

3-2 win for Houston. Astros remain 2 games back of Arlington for division lead. Houston has won 7 of last 8.

I say pitching because that’s what the game is all about. We have plenty of fire power, they just forget to show up some games. Hard to believe Imai was part of the combined no-hitter. I went to bed on them too. Had to get up early. Them west coast games are tough. Lol

Tatsuya Imai has to go. He has failed to get out of the FIRST inning in three of his 15 starts this season and has thrown fewer than five innings eight times. This information is courtesy of Chandler Rome who I follow on the X (old twitter) platform. The Stone Cold Astros podcast believes Dana Brown is a lame duck. The Astros will let him ride out this season, the last year of his contract. If the Astros make a deadline trade, supposedly Brown wants a bat. Espada is asking for starting pitching. Which one will win that tug-of-war?

You know who you are. Lol

The worst thing Massie has done was force Trump to sign off on the Epstein Transparency Act which became law. Ever since then Trump has been butthurt. Massie has voted with Trump 91% of the time. He just doesn’t worship his party, he listens to his constituents and his votes show it. lol

What’s sad is people swallowing everything Trump does and says without questioning anything. Thats what you call sad and pathetic. lol

Don't trust anything Massie says? He's a turncoat!

So why spend so long trying to negotiate?

Well said. 🙂

4-1 win over White Sox. That's 5 straight wins. Brown with a very good outing. 7 IP, 0 runs on just 2 hits, 7 K's and no walks.

The Best High School Football Stadium 2026 is down to Bruce Bradshaw Stadium vs Bulldog Stadium in La Porte. I can't believe Bulldog beat out Eagle Stadium in Allen! But, I must admit, Bulldog is VERY sweet, and just about the right size with the lighting, sound system, open concourse with the picnic tables, and even A/C in the heads. The video screen is awesome as well. Add in the seabreeze from the Bay about 200 yards away, and it's pretty nice.

I think he went in with the noblest of intentions. Whether convinced by outside intel or not is irrelevant. He made the choice. My firm belief is he thought Iran would fold, and collapse early on. He didn't understand the regime, and has recently admitted as much when he backtracked on thinking he could negotiate with them, and called them crazy. He should have known all along. But, many Western minds just don't get it. They can't tie the religious zealot mind to something they can comprehend. Yes. I believe he feels it needs to be done. But, not for altruistic reasons, or even National Security. Now, it's his pride, arrogance, and legacy. He doesn't want the black mark. He wants to be remembered as the POTUS who stopped the terrorist regime and proxies in the Middle East, and this isn't looking good for him. All politicians have egos. His is one of--if not the--biggest I can recall in my 60+ years. He can't stop now. That being said, round up the C-130's, their escorts & about 4 MOABs, and let it rain. Then, decide if a tactical ground assault in key, specific areas is still required. Stop with the pinpoint pricks that cost over $1MM a pop. Bury an area with a $250k munition that will make them think Allah has arrived as they desire. Guarantee if 4 or 5 MOABs shook the country almost simultaneously, it might be a wake-up, come to Allah moment. At least, there wouldn't be much for the IRGC to recover and reconstitute.

Obviously didn’t read what Martin Luther, John Quincy Adams, or Winston Churchill had to say about the so-called ‘religion of peace.’ While I don’t paint all Muslims with the same brush, the belief system itself is built on violence, slavery, and lies. Of course, Obama hadn’t read their thoughts either when he defended the belief system at the U.N. in 2012, and he had the ‘benefit’ of 9/11 as proof. The Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 didn’t change his mind either.

Change started in 1965 with LBJ and congress opening up immigration for said people. And now it’s grown to where they have weaseled their way into govt positions. freedoms come with a cost

The Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405 / Pub. L. 119-38) is a federal law signed into law by President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025. It mandates that the Department of Justice (DOJ) publish all unclassified records, investigative materials, flight logs, and travel records related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in a searchable format.

Blame it on the select sports culture........ If I don't like it one place we will just go somewhere else and parents have encouraged it. Kids play for the name on the back instead of the name on the front now.

Catching a B-T-A in that 1st one though. 😁

Thats tough Post from the supt As many of you know, we have been looking forward to opening our new Lion Stadium this football season. Today, we received disappointing news regarding the final phase of the project. The manufacturer of the grandstands informed us today that, due to unforeseen circumstances, they will not be able to complete and deliver the grandstands in time for the 2026 football season. While this is certainly disappointing, we are grateful for the tremendous progress that has been made and remain committed to seeing the project through to completion. Although we won’t be playing in the new stadium this season, we are looking forward to another exciting year of Lion football in our current stadium. Our students, coaches, band, cheerleaders, drill team, and fans will continue to make Friday nights something special.

I have a friend that was in the Marine Corp for 20+ years. He posted this on his Facebook page. Very interesting comments. Here is the post: I fought and lived through two wars, deployed 8 times, and served our nation faithfully for over 23 years, so pardon me if I don’t keep my mouth shut… Please put your political party, your favorite news channel, and the people you have been told to hate aside for a few minutes, and just hear me out. During my Marine Corps career, I served on two small advisor teams as the senior enlisted Marine in charge. The first was in 2007 in Fallujah, Iraq. The second was in 2012 around Now Zad, Afghanistan. In Fallujah, we lived alongside the Iraqi Army. In Afghanistan, we lived alongside the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) . We ate with them. We trained with them. We went on missions with them. We fought beside them. We trusted them with our lives because we had no other choice. Our teams were small, and we operated well beyond the immediate reach of American support. If something had happened to us, there were times when our command might not have known for hours, or even days. We were truly alone and unafraid, but we were never invulnerable. At any point, one of those men could have slipped into where we slept and killed us. Do not think that thought did not cross my mind on more nights than I care to admit. But it never happened. That does not mean everything was perfect. It does not mean I trusted every person around me. We were lied to. We were sometimes misled. There were missions when the hair stood up on the back of my neck because I did not know whether we were walking into an enemy ambush, or whether the very people beside us might turn on us. But they never did. Those experiences did not make me naïve about terrorism, radicalism, or the dangers in that part of the world. They taught me something far more important: you cannot judge an entire religion, culture, or people by the actions of their worst members. I saw goodness and deceit. Courage and cowardice. Loyalty and betrayal. Faith and hypocrisy. In other words, I saw the same things that exist in every country, every religion, and every political party, including our own. Fear in a child’s eyes looks the same in a Muslim as a Christian. And before anyone lectures me about Iran, understand something: I have names tattooed on my leg belonging to men who were killed by explosively formed penetrators, the same type of deadly weapon that the United States military documented as being supplied or supported by Iran and Iranian-backed groups in Iraq. We have been fighting proxy wars with Iran for decades. I know what Iranian involvement has cost American service members because I carry part of that cost with me every day. So no, this is not sympathy for the Iranian regime. It is not ignorance of Iran’s history. It is not forgetting the Americans who were killed. It is simply asking: At what point do we say enough is enough? Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals. That fact does not, by itself, prove that the Saudi government planned or directed the attacks, and the 9/11 Commission did not establish that the Saudi government as an institution or its senior officials funded al-Qaeda. But the fact that fifteen hijackers were Saudi, and the unanswered questions many Americans still have, should at least make us willing to question how selectively our outrage and foreign policy are applied. We bomb Iran for being “two weeks away” from a bomb, but the country that started radicalizing their people with Wahhabism and proved 3/4 of the 9/11 hijackers gets a nuke deal… We spent two decades in Afghanistan because al-Qaeda had been given sanctuary and training space there. Now, the United States is engaged in a military campaign against Iran while also entering into a major civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia. To be accurate, it is not a nuclear weapons agreement, but it is a significant, decades long nuclear partnership, and Americans have every right to examine it closely and demand consistency from their government. So please explain something to me: In what way is the war with Iran part of an America First agenda? How does it lower gas prices? How does it lower grocery prices? How does it make housing, insurance, electricity, or healthcare more affordable? How does it help the working American who is struggling to keep food on the table? How does it help our veterans, our children, our communities, or our economy? How many more American sons and daughters must be placed in harm’s way while politicians give us another carefully rehearsed explanation for why this war is different from every other war? America First cannot mean Americans come last when the bills arrive and the blood is spilled. I truly believe both political parties have learned the same trick: keep Americans furious with one another so we never look up and hold the people in power accountable. Republican against Democrat. Conservative against liberal. Christian against Muslim. Black against white. Native-born against immigrant. Neighbor against neighbor. They keep us fighting horizontally so we never look vertically. Because a united American people who put truth, accountability, country, and conscience ahead of political parties would be a threat to every political machine that depends on our fear and division to remain in power. This is not simply red versus blue anymore. It is truth versus manipulation. Conscience versus blind loyalty. Good versus evil. And please do not tell me that we must accept the lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is still evil. It is okay to say your own party is wrong. It is okay to admit that the person you voted for broke their promise. It is okay to oppose something even when your political team supports it. That is not betrayal. That is what citizenship and patriotism are supposed to look like. Stop being yes men for politicians who would never send their own children to fight the wars they so easily begin. Please open your eyes. Please look into your heart. Do not allow a politician, a television personality, an algorithm, or a political party to convince you that your neighbor is your enemy because he votes differently, looks differently, or worships differently. I lived among Muslims. I ate with them. I trained with them. I distrusted some of them. I trusted others with my life. I fought beside them and they fought beside me. That is reality. Not a slogan. Not propaganda. Not something I learned from television. I LIVED IT. At some point, Americans must put our feet down and say: Enough is enough. America First must mean American lives first. American families first. American workers first. American veterans first. American communities first. American economic security first. Not another politician’s ego. Not another political party’s power. Not another foreign government’s agenda. And not another endless war. It is time to stop hating one another. Matthew 22:37–39 “Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Thoughts on this Marine's point of view?

In bold: I think that should've been in process many many many years ago, especially in this particular region of Texas. Alot of ISDs are behind the times.

I don't know what cope is.

I dont think one of those could be any shorter

7-4 win and a series sweep of the Angels. Houston is .500 (55-55) for the first time since April 7 when they were 6-6. Astros are 35-24 since May 20.

Unless you’re Nederland, right @Mr. Buddy Garrity ?

I believe once your in the "red". Maximum practice time is 1 hour, and no protective equipment can be worn. No conditioning either, but be ready to compete in a game the next day even if it's hotter.

Similar to many--I daresay most--who have served in similar situations. These situations happen all over the globe, and many never see the light of day either because they are considered clandestine, or they accomplish their objectives with no negative mission press. Whether the situation involves a major campaign, smaller insurrections, drug cartels, or other objectives classified as 'National Security threats', those fulfilling the mission are always questioning their role. They will continue to do so until they take their last breath. I would say his thoughts are not uncommon.

Trump wasn’t President. Biden was and I didn’t vote for Biden. Since you brought it up didn’t Trump say he would end the Ukraine War within 24 hours of being elected? ….well time is ticking, he’s been President for a year and a half. News flash….,there is still an Ukraine War and Trump has been sending money to a war that he said would have never started if he had been president. Smh

Nobody likes good news. They live in the negative. It’s easier that way.

It went to Ukraine under Biden, labeled as war aide and 10% for the big guy. No one had a problem funding Ukraine’s war, but we somehow don’t care to fund our own war effort. Had we had any “allied” help, it would have taken a lot of the burden off of us.

My good friend Regan! 😆

Dang went to bed Stros behind 4-0. Got up this morning win 6-4. Missed another comeback.

Ah yes…Trump hasn’t lied about anything. 😂🤣

7-3 dub! Series win over Seattle! 3 out of 4. Joc mvp of that series 😁

Major pitching collapse today 12-3. Only bright ting Pena 2 dingers and Trammel 1. Something has to be done with that bullpen or pitching in general. That's baseball I guess. Took series and win streak was goog while it lasted. Mariners beating Arlington 5-3 in 7th tho

Abreu sure likes to get you on the edge of your seat. Sousa saved the day on that situation. Astros are much better when Peña is leading off. I don’t understand subbing Allen late for Altuve. Guess that’s why I’m not a manager. lol. All in all, it was a good win.

You know them La Porte people. They're like rabid dogs. 🤣

I wonder who this really is?!
