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.

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.

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.

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.

Good news: Both F-15 pilots are rescued and SAFE! [Hidden Content]

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.

Massive sweep. 3 game swing over both the mariners and the stros, who somehow got swept by the Rockies. The hitting has been bad for us, but the pitching has been fantastic. If you’d told me the rangers would only manage 8 runs over 3 games against the M’s, I would’ve figured us for the team that got swept. But I’ll dang sure take it.

I think the only places you're seeing roster issues is at smaller schools. Baseball is a hard sport and some would rather just go run track or play golf than struggle on JV at a 1A-3A level.

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.

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.

Y'all?? I don't get in back and forth with CB. I do call him out from time to time when he makes inaccurate posts or falsehoods.

I heard from a very reliable source that Trump is coming after Trumper haters on small social platforms across America starting with SETXSPORTS Political Forum starting Monday. I believe you and CB’s name was mentioned.

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 😂

Astros lead MLB with runs scored (60) Lead in many offensive categories in the AL.

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.

Schedules usually don't get updated until August.

Before Barbers Hill and Huffman came in it was Madisonville. Coldspring, Cleveland, and Madisonville were the ones making it out then.

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.

Miss the good ole days of Coldspring, Shepherd, Splendora, Cleveland, Tarkington, and Liberty all being 3A and in the same District.

Believe whatever you want to believe. Newton would beat the brakes of Yoakum.

If offered, I would accept. Fully knowing that I’ll be fired shortly, branded a traitor, and ridiculed by the Trump supporters. But it would all be worth it because for a brief minute when Trump announced my hiring, y'all would all love me.

Just be proud of those 1,000 imaginary EV chargers you helped build to help with your fuel costs.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I will always celebrate when lives are saved. Putting troops on that island would have devastating. IMO

Don't get me wrong. As a former Navy Diver who was directly involved in multiple activities supporting our SF's--among other hazardous duties--I'm all for an end to any conflict. But, just like many or most serving in this effort, I never wanted to leave any mission incomplete. This appears incomplete. I will also reiterate the impersonal nature of conflict nowadays with AI and drones cheapens human life, and makes it too easy for leaders to enter into deadly actions. If they believe minimal casualties will occur because of tech, it's way too easy to pull the trigger. I subscribe to ShipwreckedCrew. He should stick to legal opinions. That's where his experience lies.

I don’t claim to be a scholar either but many real scholars use this scripture and others for unwavering support to Israel. I don’t understand today’s lineages but the land itself is a part of Gods covenant with Israel.

Obviously he’s been trying to make a deal but how do you do a deal trustworthy deal with radical Islamic Muslims? It’s an evil ideology that can’t be trusted.

I've heard the same thing.

The banning of cheap drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloraquin during COVID was intentional to force people in to thinking the vaccine was a cure and to make big Pharma billions! Not to mention taking doctors licenses that prescribed it knowing that it helped tremendously. The protocol put out at hospitals was a death sentence for most especially dealing with the respirators.

Astros lose 12-10 in 10 innings. Abreu with a blown save. Gave up 3 run homer. Houston 6-4 in first 10 games.

Unfortunately, civilians have been a casualty of every war. No one cheers that fact. CB just doing his trolling.

Rumors and wild speculations are just that. Some people get IV treatments for many other reasons. You think he should playing golf with a war going on?

I never said they all weren’t qualified. I said loyalty was the primary qualification. Some of his appointees are clearly not qualified.

Astros winning 11-0 in the 8th and subbing. No need to post today. They’re not losing.

Honestly, he’s not sure what he’s saying

Strictly talking about getting schedules posted here. It's always safe to wait till August to update our schedules here due to changes being made now through July. Also, lot's of schools don't put their schedules for next season on their school website until this school year is over. Bigdog will have all our coverage area team schedules posted before the first scrimmage week.

The people appointed Vance and Trump Democracy !

Yes... I was at the game posting updates on here and to me for all of the games of the series especially at least the ones I've seen this was the very best game bar none.

Hopefully, he's correct. He is retired. So, not sure how he's getting his info.

Yeah… I knew that. That’s why I used singular pronouns in my initial post. But I’d expect them to have ejected in the same area, and we’re operating there now-but the other pilot hasn’t been located. It sounds like the bad guys must have scooped them up.

Y'all??? You voted for him. TWICE!! Pot, meet kettle.

Yes! Those were the days. I’m sure Cleveland and Splendora miss those days too lol.

Mann this been posted plenty times... u were crickets Now it matters.. Definitely in a cult

I'm just giving you a hard time. You have been spot on on many topics. I was just stirring the pot all in good humor.

I've answered this spread out among multiple different posts. I've attached a link that boils it down fairly simple and is a short read. Please read it. It's a pretty good layman's explanation. It won't make you happy. But, it will explain. [Hidden Content]

They didn't have an AD last year....they are posting the job as combined once again Current HFC is still there and applied for the combined AD/HFC gig Now him getting it is another story but sounds like he does want it

It appears to be Donald Hubbard. 15-15 at Shepherd

KOGT.COM Silsbee beat Bridge City 6-5. The Tigers scored four in the third off Max Pachar after BC took a 1-0 lead in the first. The Cards added two in the fifth and two in the sixth and had the tying run on in the seventh before Tiger pitcher Matsyn Morris closed the door. Silsbee improves to 5-0 and BC drops to 5-2. – LCM defeated Lumberton 7-3. Jakson Struwe got the win and went 3-4 with a triple and an RBI. Leadoff hitter Mason Istre was 4-4 with a double and 2RBI’s. The Bears (3-2) and the Raiders (2-5) will play again on Thursday.

I do hope we keep Dayton just for the old times sake.
