    Dying Sport? Baseball is exploding in numbers on the youth levels from 6u to 18u in select & a few local Little Leagues had record number sign ups the last couple years. High school & college level is far from a dying sport. The coverage on setx sports is dying because less & less people care to put the time in to post baseball things.

    CB is all about reaction. Loves shooting into hornets nests. Trolling is what he does the best. Been that way on this site for years.

  4. I was there. Hillin wasn’t “escorted off the field.” Was there a Buna ISD officer there, yes, but just to make sure he left the field after the ejection. It’s normal procedure when things like that happen. Hillin left immediately after he was ejected without issue.

  6. Back in those days, to load the grain ship, she had to be maneuvered back and forth to level out the grain. The bow and stern mooring lines had to be loosened and tightened to move the ship to and fro. I had nothing to do with their mooring as Continental Grain Elevator was separate from Mobil, but they were next door and we were able to watch. They probably have better loading procedures today, but that’s how it was done in the olden days. Lol. Some of the smaller tankers that were not Mobil owned, had much smaller mooring lines. Their ropes were about 2” diameter and we called them “kite stringers”. Some ships had bow thrusters and were able to dock using just one tug. Bow thruster was a propeller located in the bow that moved the ship port or starboard. Only dealt with one of those. Mobil ships had 4” ropes for mooring. On the bow and stern, the ropes were accompanied with 1” cables. Had a special hook for the cables called pelican hooks. The ropes went in a simple hook because we were able to lift the rope out of the hook to sail. The pelican hook was specially designed to handle the weight of the cable and a release that would allow disengagement. All mobil ships coming in to dock had to pass up the docks and enter the turning basin where the tugs would turn the ship around before mooring so that she was heading out after loading. All ship traffic was not necessarily hauling in crude. Some were sailing in to load heating oil for up north. That was a regular trip. Had a ship named the Grigerosa which brought in Mexican crude. You could smell her before she rounded the bend……high sulphur content. I could go on but I’m sure this is boring to some. I think you have a great knowledge of the refining part. I picked up a little along the way. I was in my 20s when this took place.

  7. I might make it over there. My older brother did 26 years in the Navy and lives in Richmond. I am sure that he will take part. I wish the Battleship Texas was back open to the public but it still has a few months before the final berth is ready in Galveston.

    Same site has Port Arthur Memorial as the Vikings. The records are accurate, but some of those mascots are off. Noticed DCTF actually called PA the Vikings in an recent article as well.

    So far (11 games), it's been pretty simple. Astros offense (MLB leading) has won them 6 games. Astros pitching and defense has lost them 5 games. Houston leads MLB in just about every offensive category. Houston pitching is 28th (out of 30) in MLB. An ERA right at 6 (5.75) Personally, I am willing to have the offense drop a bit if it means our pitching can get to around 4 in ERA.

    Iran War Update

    For an actual war update, I hope we don’t hit their power plants and bridges. I do care about the Iranian people, no matter what some may think or say. This would make it more difficult on the people. I pray we reach a deal and get the strait opened to full capacity.

  13. Our military leaked information to draw Iranians AWAY from the airman, then attacked them while the rescue team rescued the airman at the correct location, without one UD casualty. That is pretty impression and will go down in the history books😎 I’m not 100% sure, but I believe they called that mission Hook, Line and Sinker. Of true, that is 😂

  15. No, sir. Trump admits that there was massive fraud, hence the need for the SAVE Act. Y’all cheated, Trump and the republicans confessed every time they claim that election integrity is a problem, they’re admitting that they didn’t actually win.

  18. Listening to Brown-Jackson’s logic is hard on the brain. You know, if she was in Japan and stole a wallet then the Japanese police would arrest her but if she had her wallet stolen in Japan, she would expect the police to arrest whoever did it. That’s why we need birthright citizenship. 🤣🤣🤣 I guess when you can’t define what a woman is, that’s about as deep as a person can think.

  23. They didn’t specifically mention the presidency but Sauer in his arguments stated that by 2015 there were like 200 or 500 (I don’t remember the numbers) companies in China whose business it is to send women to the US to have babies and then bring them back to China to be raised by their laws and culture. Then they could return later as they were US citizens at birth. One is the follow up questions for his was something like, is there any evidence of that happening or any numbers of people returning or something to that effect. My follow up might have been, it’s only 11 years since 2015. No one born around then is an adult yet.

    At one time this site was the only place to get local scores updated in real time. We had threads for every game with great fans that updated every inning and some every batter. Now every team has GameChanger that anyone with a cell phone can pull up any game live. No other sport has this, thus they need this message board for updates. I did see one local varsity GC get shut off because the parent that was scoring for the team gave Little Jonny an error. His parents ran to the school board and said it was a hit. Maybe that team still needs this site…..

  27. Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. He was pushing for the Epstein files screaming transparency, he changed his tune pretty quick…..lol [Hidden Content]

  36. Here are my thoughts…. CB, I could care less what you do or do not do in your bedroom. I don’t need to approve anything you do on your own time as long as it’s legal. He did nothing illegal, and the girl that released the picture or video, in my opinion is the more disgusting one. I believe in that rule what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. You keep on the narrative that Trump is protecting pedophiles, yet from a diary we know that Biden took showers with his daughter, but you’re not posting about that five times a day. I guess it’s not in the new cycle, so you forgot about the outrage you had. You seem to take the high ground, but you accusing a man of doing things that you really have no proof of, doesn’t really seem like the high ground to me.

    Schools like Shepherd, Hardin, and Tarkington need staff consistency for sure. Schools with limited talent also have to adapt their schemes to fit their players, some fans/parents don't like that. Hardin had an outstanding year, but would they have been as successful had they remained in a spread offense? The same applies to Shepherd. Some towns want a flashy offense without the players to execute it.
