That's 6 consecutive wins and 11 of last 12. It's the first time Houston has been 3 games above .500 since April 4 when they were 6-3. I agree that Pena is the MVP of this series. I really would like to see another arm on the roster but doesn't look like it will happen.

Great impersonation. I don't miss him.

My financial gain is because of investments I made many many years ago with some royalties I have from some property I own up around Cushing, Tx. Exxon and a couple other oil companies were part of my investment plan along with a few other stocks. I have taken some hits over the years but in the long term it has been very profitable. Being invested in oil company stocks you have to take the good with the bad. I am quite proud of the work I have done in my investing.

I agree.

This is what you posted: There are soldiers losing their lives over Exxon exploiting this crisis. That reads as though Exxon is causing the soldier's deaths. As if the war is being run by Exxon. Is that what you mean? I think you meant to say Exxon is exploiting this crisis while soldiers are losing their lives. That would make a little more sense.

Soldiers are losing lives because of Exxon?

Correct

I also tithe. So what you are saying is it's okay to reap benefits just don't celebrate it. Gotcha BTW, not one of those charities or the church asked how I was able to give the money. Helping to spread good will with my investment monies. That's all.

I was answering your questions that you directed to me. Not concerned if you believe them or not. I am happy that I can contribute to those charities.

Not all but about 80%. 20% finances my poker. Not really concerned what you believe. The govt. believes me. At least the IRS does.

The money made that is deposited I give to charity.

I give my profits to charity.

5-4 win for Houston. Astros have now won 5 straight and 10 of last 11. Have 1 1/2 game division lead. Go for the sweep tomorrow.

YES!!!!!! My bank account appreciates Exxon so much.

We don't need Springer. Need another arm or two. Astros are third in the AL in runs scored but are 12th in runs allowed. Pitching is what is needed.

Pretty sure Dre'lon Miller of Silsbee, who was a 4-5 star out of high school, who just transferred to Baylor from Colorado, is not making $300-500 K at Baylor this season. Could be wrong. I can ask his father to be certain. Talk to him pretty regular.

Houston Strake Jesuit turned in 2974 enrollment for this past realignment. DCTF has them at 2974 and finishing 4th in 21-6A. UIL uses total enrollment of 9-12, not just the male pop. But, SJ had to agree to play 6A in order to participate in UIL. It's just now they have 6A numbers.

Correct but SA being 2 hours north can make all the difference. All is needed is a point or two from practicing to not practicing.

I think it also depends on your location. WBGT can be different in Orange Texas than in San Augustine Texas.

Also, this win secures the Silver Boot for the Astros. That makes 10 consecutive years Houston has won the Silver Boot. A friend of mine asked, "Is this even a rivalry anymore?"

This is also the first time since April 6 (6-5) that Houston has been over .500 (56-55) on the season.

Houston with an 11-2 win over Arlington. Astros are now in first place for the first time since April 3rd when they were 5-2. Houston has won 9 of last 10 and are 12 games above .500 (36-24, .600) since May 20.

This

I just want to get 2 of 3. But a sweep would be nice. Pitching matchups for the 3 game series: Eovaldi vs. Brown DeGrom vs. Blanco Rocker vs. ????
