I worked in inner city Beaumont for 15 years, exclusively with families below the poverty line. Lots of them do things right, but lots of them abuse the system. To pretend the abuse isn’t rampant is silly. As someone who devoted what will end up being around half of my professional career to helping and working with the impoverished, I have no issue with more restrictions on what government handouts are used for. Nobody should starve, but other people’s tax money shouldn’t be spent on luxuries.

And only a half game back (of two teams) in the wild card after being 6-7 games back a few weeks ago

Walk it off! 5 straight and 9 of 11!

What a crazy stat line. Also crazy that he’s a 22-yo rookie batting .305 with 23 homers

This team is finally starting to show a little bit of that spark they had a couple of seasons ago. Hopefully they can keep stacking up series wins. They’re 8-2 over their last 10. This is the first time they’ve looked this good since they started the season 8-2

Curious how this plays out, but I don’t know that it’ll end well.

I found the guy killed on fb because I thought I recognized the name. He’s got motorcycles as well. Doubt it’s coincidental considering how this went down. Definitely a targeted attack

Bryant pitched really well, but benefited from some great defense behind her, and also the extra 20 ft to center field that the UT field has. They hit one and maybe two balls that would’ve been out of any other field she’s pitched on this year. So she shut them out for the first 5, but I wouldn’t say she shut them down. She also gave up a homer after she came back in. That said, it was unfortunate that Nutter struggled considering the year she’s had. And I don’t know why the coach left her in as long as he did. BH got completely shut down until the 7th, and then had a chance to steal one. But Melissa looked the better team the entire game. That team is unreal!

Barring a miracle UTSA is about to beat UT for the second time in 3 days and put them out. That UTSA lineup is stacked!

My grandmother is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s. It’s a horrible disease.

Hard to watch. Flat out beat themselves. Base running cost them at least 3 runs, including 2 in the final inning that would’ve won it.
