His dad is my source. Again, I will let them make it official as to where he is going.

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.

Yes. WTI—which is actually light, sweet crude—will remain slightly elevated against Brent simply because of access. It can’t elevate in price too much because it’s almost a byproduct for the U.S. We have more than enough light, sweet crude and our refineries are mainly set up to process heavy, sour. What many don’t understand is that it’s actually more expensive to refine the heavy, sour that we import. But, because of environmental policies through the recent decades, we don’t use as much oil as many think. Also, heavy, sour can be refined into multiple more products like diesel, asphalt, pharmas, and other petrochemical products whereas light, sweet is primarily only for gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel. It actually becomes more cost efficient to import heavy, sour and export the sweet. Plus, it’s a way of using our oil exports as diplomacy, and steadying the global market. WTI never really gets that much separation from Brent simply because global buyers know the U.S. has to pretty much just unload a lot of it because we can’t use it all. Hopefully, my comments are helping make more sense to some out of a hard to understand commodity market. If nothing else, y’all are learning more about the overall business. There’s a lot more to it than most know. They just see gas prices and hear the price of oil. They’re not getting a bigger overview.

It's not evil according to the zealots in control of Iran. They believe that by attacking and destroying Israel, they will initiate the second coming of their Mahdi, and Allah will return to reward them. So, they actually want a major war that kills however many it kills. Reading your posts these past few months, you should read the link. I think you--and others--may find it very interesting. (Of course, you have to separate the Iranian people from this view as many--if not most--aren't believers of these ideas.) Dr. Tim Orr isn't a 'Fly-By-Nighter.' He's a well known scholar with multiple degrees and decades of first-hand experience between religions. [Hidden Content]

Far be it from me to say exactly what's going on. I will say that Navy Divers are the experts in underwater EOD, and have been known to exit flooded tubes to perform mine clearing duties. Yes. It's one of the most dangerous jobs in any Branch of the Service. That's why ND's receive hazardous duty pay from Day 1 after A school. One day, you may be exiting a sub in an unconventional manner. One day, you may jump from a perfectly good helo. One day, you may be at 300 feet below, and the next, you may be clearing a landing zone with a rebreather. You have to be qualified on every type of dive equipment from bare, to a snorkel and fins, to rebreathers, to scuba, to Mark 16's (or whatever they are on nowadays), and gas mixtures. In addition, small arms quals are very rigorous. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if some investigative/clearing type activity wasn't taking place right under everyone's collective noses right now.

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.

I don’t believe in waiting until they develop one and then wonder if they’re going to use it. Pure evil was exhibited to the world on 10-7. These people are known to commit suicide to kill the infidels in unprovoked attacks (9/11). They care nothing about contamination.

So now we are not men if we disagree with you😂 You can hide behind that fake name, but you just can’t keep CB from shinning through.

….well, maybe The Masters. Lol

If anyone is interested, Navy Divers also made the news for something positive yesterday. Good read. [Hidden Content]

Even the mighty Yankees have lost 3 in a row. Lol. I have no answer for our pitching. Imai has control problems. Javier, even though he is injured, has not had a stellar year so far. I’m always ready to get behind my team and go along for the ride. Even when we’re losing, I’d rather watch baseball than just about anything else tv has to offer.

Thank you, appreciate your honesty but Reagan talks like he inside information from generals on the front lines. 😂 I think Trump is having a hard time finding an exit ramp on this war. I personally think BiBi gave him some not so accurate intel. It’s a Mess!!

Has Trump screwed up so bad by going to war with Iran that his wife is bringing Epstein back into the news to change the narrative Good Grief I guess it’s a new level of chess.

His dad was a stud! He went to college as a Quarterback. I always thought he would have been a MLB player if he would have went that route instead. He hit like 27 homeruns his Senior year! I remember Coach Stone was coaching Orangefield against SFA over at the old baseball field off of 25th st. The pitcher threw one about chest high and Stone told him if you put it there again he is going to put it over the street. The very next pitch went over the street with a moonshot! I asked Stone about 5 years ago if he remembered that and he said like it was yesterday. That was about 31-32 years ago. Chad was a freshman when I was a Senior. Back in the kid days I'd pick Chad on my team before kids 3-4 years older than him. Whether it be football or baseball, Chad was that dude! Really happy for him to get to see his kid do things he use to do. Chad was always very laid back but get him on a field and he made a lot of noise. I always thought he was the best overall high school quarterback until Dustin Long came along. I have some great memories of Chad on the baseball and football field!

Slade Shepphard walkoff double. BH 4-5-0 Ned 5-8-0 Nederland is now 10-0 in district

NATO is a useless money grab of taxpayer dollars. I say withdraw from it completely and close all our military bases across Europe. Time to stop being the world’s policemen. They’re all globalists countries anyway that want us destroyed. I know you think Trump sucks blah blah blah.

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.

Listening to Trump, he is sending mind sweepers and destroyers (the ones CB said would get blown up if they went to the strait lol) and making it safe for everyone to pass but Iran. This was Iran’s last bargaining power and it appears they are going to lose that. I think this is a great move and probably part of the initial plan.

Abreu strike again lose 8-7 with Mariners walk off single in bottom of 9th . First time since 1991 that Stros collected 17 hits and lose... Just a shame.

Great video. Everyone should watch it. My post above about the mine clearing went through Centcom. I like that site.

When has Trump been proven to rape women?

Wonder if the mascot is the same.......

For claiming Melania had anything to do with Epstein…. Daily Beast, New York Post, Michael Wolff, and James Carville…..

The other presidents knew there would be a considerable risk of getting kicked in the gonads going into Iran. Like Trump has been.

First, the left said he went to war to get Epstein off the news. Now the clown lefties are saying they brought Epstein back to get the war off the news. This is called being ballistically insane!

You have to be programmed

All I'm saying is attempt to post the truth. Inflation has not tripled....lol Trump gives you plenty to criticize....you don't have to post lies.... CB takes care of that

Will all the gains today disappear by tomorrow? Too early to thump chest Regan. Remember, we have a con man in office who is the art of the steal. 🌊🌊🌊

As I’m watching the events of today, it’s clear to me that Israel hitting Lebanon 100 times in 10 minutes today, their most aggressive attack of the war, wasn’t a message for Lebanon. It was a message for us. This isn’t over until Israel’s objectives are reached… mix in the fact that Iran feels the same way, it doesn’t matter that we want out-it’s not up to us. Add to that the fact that Trump is attacking NATO again today because they didn’t assist in Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran, and we’re bordering on a lot of real problems. He started talking about taking Greenland again this afternoon. When is enough gonna be enough?

First time since 2023 we swept the Mariners.

You need to put the link you got this from @Big girl

Just reminding members before mods have to do their duty!

Am I correct in saying that Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz? Am I missing something? Where’s the obliteration?

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.

Just really really or really really really really with a large slice of HATE. We would have never known if you hadn’t told us. Lol

2 week cease fire. Did Trump cave or is he trying to make a peace deal?

Well, if it is the washington post.....it must be fact Show me the "proof" there were not - besides the article stating that with also no facts lol

Someone on this forum will come up with a reason this is a bad thing......or not true......or something negative

Not me. That’s garbage.

They are still doing first round interviews from what i have heard!!

+1 baddog. We need the Astros to play clean baseball, keep the bats hot, and hope the pitching comes around. Maybe Abreu will break out of his funk and have a big year? I know its only been 10-games, but I'm a tad concerned about him. On to Colorado and Seattle. GO ASTROS!!!

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.

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.

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

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…..

1. Chester 2-0 2. Brookeland 3-1 3. Apple Springs 2-1 4. Zavalla 0-2 5. Burkeville 0-3
