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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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…..

Y’all should start a separate Scripture/Beliefs discussion thread.

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

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

+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!!!

Astros are averaging 7 runs a game. Lead MLB in several offensive categories. Flip side, Houston is giving up 5.5 runs per game. Astro pitching is in the bottom quarter of the league in most of the pitching statistics. Only top 5 category is strikeouts and Opponent OBP.

Started the season off with a series road win over the phillies. Heading to baltimore for a 3 gamer. Season Record: 2-1

This reminds me of the 2001 movie, "Behind Enemy Lines", starring Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. I wonder how accurate the technology in that movie was/is???

*peddle Kinda like so many people believe that election fraud is a problem in the United States today? (But only in elections that they lose).

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?

The Asain connection and Okert combine for 5 hit shut out. 11-0 go for series tomorrow. Imai had 9 ks in 6 innings. Everyone contributed. Too many goo to mention, Go Stros

Straw man.

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

BH will be D1. Nederland and PNG have 2 of the smallest numbers in the district (I honestly think Nederland is the smallest if memory serves me correct) and both ranked #2 and #3 in district standings respectfully.

Then, the dirty harmonics from the diesel generators powering the chargers fries the electronics on the big rigs, and we're now running a shortage of Macks. Of course, Mack trucks are actually owned by Volvo, and we've made the Swedes angry somehow, so they'll be upping the prices. We could hire more truckers to help offset some cost. But, they can't speak or read English.

Plus they need to make sure they have enough diesel generators to keep the electric charge stations operating! LOL!

Or, the people who realize--for good or bad--when the decision was made to go in, there was going to be no easy way out without a regime change, and a regime change--without an internal takeover--was going to require ground troops of some type. I said from the very beginning--before this started--you weren't going to dislodge the IRGC with just an air campaign.

Trump had nothing to say last night that he hasn’t already said on social media multiple times. Iran responded by launching more missiles and the markets responded accordingly. Iran will decide when this is over, and they’re not staying down. Trump can either ramp up our involvement or go home toting a whipped butt. What does victory look like if we leave and Iran is still attacking our allies and shutting down the Hormuz? If we stay there, we’re going to have to fight. If we bring most of our troops out, the ones left are going to be in grave danger. Trump talks about destroying their water and electrical infrastructure like it’s not a war crime. There’s no “deal” to be made and we’re fresh out of friends thanks to his tariffs, insults, and otherwise crappy treatment of our former allies. Apparently mean tweets have consequences, Fatty. The only people who still support his war are the “Always Trumpers” who believe that he can do no wrong.

Took 2 of 3 from the orioles, coming home for an Easter weekend series with the reds. Season record: 4-2

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

4-1 and guaranteed to start the season with two road series wins. I'll take it. Hopefully Evo can get it together today and take them to 5-1

it's no secret I root against the astros, but it sure was nice to see him come out and do that after all he's gone through.

I realize that’s a national average. When factoring in California, NY, and other blue states, the price goes way up. Some people are only concerned with their cost.

CardinalBacker doesn’t get it

This is unacceptable. It causes you to look at the positive side of things.
