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.

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!

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.

This is headed down the wrong path that is going to eventually lead to time outs..... It's getting personal and off topic

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.

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.

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

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.

Just shows you that you aren't really in the loop. It's OK most people from WV are in their own little world.

LU shutout for the 3rd time in 4 games. Only 3 hits as the offense continues to have struggles. SELA loses to Corpus. Thus, pending the outcome of SFA vs. UTRGV, LU will be in a 2 or 3 way tie for 2nd. HCU beats Northwestern. So, the top 3 teams all lose tonight. Hopefully some of the guys thst produced last season can make late season turn arounds.

La Porte has one District game left in 20-5A, but they’ve already claimed the DC (21-3, 9-1). The Lady Dawgs will be taking on the Baytown Sterling ladies in the first round.

History of republicans and Democrats is he will lose the house or senate or both…..ask Obama

You have to be programmed

Trump does as well

[Hidden Content] Trumps have cracked under pressure.

Silsbee "should" beat Nederland but I think per usual it'll be competitive....I expect Nederland to be one of 5A's most improved teams in 2026 they bring a ton back, JV was 8-2 as well

Nederland was down 4-2 in the top of 7 with 2 outs. Carson Johnson hit a 3 run bomb to give Nederland the lead. Johnson closed out BH in the 7th for the win. Nederland stays unbeaten in district at 9-0

What a rally. Nederland had one hit going into the sixth inning. Nederland rallied for three in the bottom of six and two in the bottom of seven to win it 5-4.

I'm so happy to see someone doing something to save college sports. The transfer portal and NIL are like so many rules/laws that have been passed. They start off with good intentions, but are quickly manipulated and taken advantage of by sorry people and lawyers.

Panicans -- I like that!

Not without an Authorization--which won't be coming. POTUS only had 60 days. If ALL nuclear material is recovered, IAEA is allowed full access forever, and verification is a condition, that would be an improvement. But, anyone that trusts the regime without constant monitoring is twice the fool.

Well, I don't throw around the "stupid" word like you do, but I will say you're an easy if Trump said breath, you would hold your breath until you passed out.

Those guys don’t care what Trump has to say. I think his mouth is writing checks that all of us are going to have to cash. They’re not going to to back down, and he’s either got to do something or go home like the draft-dodging coward that he is.

Gotcha. They’ve been the Trojans as long as I can remember.

Not me. That’s garbage.

I’ve always wondered why it’s just Shirley who uncovered this and why there aren’t a million copy-cats uncovering more fraud, even if only for YouTube hits. Everyone should be concerned about this fraud. I mean, it’s all of our money and I hate thieves.

We don't have Kelly on the schedule this time. It's Liberty, Shepherd, Crockett and Kountze and me personally I only see wins against Tarkington, Kountze and Buna (although I agree with you about the Cougars they should have beaten us last season).

I guess teams play to the competition, it’s something I’ve heard before, but it seems the Astros struggle with last place teams like the A’s, White Sox, Rockies,….etc. This is not a knock on the Stros, just an observation.

+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!!!

Abreu at his best. Jeckle and Hyde Fun game to watch. Except for our miscues.

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

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
