Hook'em

Hate seeing him go down when he's having this kind of season, but it sure is nice being able to plug in a player like Marwin.

What are your thoughts that we've made so far, king? I like every move made but really like what PJ Tucker will bring to the locker room and defensive end of the floor. Also, doesn't hurt that he shoots at a 38% clip from the 3 pt. line, but above all that I love how he has had to earn his way to this league and to stay in the league because of how he loves to compete!

I love how this team is able to get on the board early in a bunch of games thus far. As good as it is for the mindset of the hitters, I know it's gotta make the pitcher strain mentally which is the worst thing that can happen against the kind of depth on this team.

I want to hear the explanation of how protecting the citizens of this nation and keeping known criminals and individuals with ties to organized crime or terrorism is a race thing and not simply a right and wrong thing. Sadly, in the real world, people's feelings will get hurt but that's part of life and I would rather see people walk around with hurt feelings rather than people not being able to walk around anywhere without legitimate concerns for their safety and well being. Maybe I'm crazy though.

Sadly, this is exactly what will happen here if, as citizens, 1) we aren't allowed to bear arms to protect ourselves and families, 2) if we don't step up our vetting process when granting citizenship, & 3) if we don't secure our borders.

In my opinion both are forms of terrorism. With that being said, look at the numbers of how many deaths are related to gang related crime (regardless of race of said gangs), and how many deaths are related to school shootings and get back to me with what you find. School shootings aren't nearly as common as gang related deaths and that is a fact.

I don't see how it is an issue, if you don't have an ID, you don't vote. Just like if I show up at my work security gate without my credentials, I will not be allowed to go work.

Can someone please explain to me how Trump has spent 45+ years in the public eye, but until he ran against the democratic party he was never labeled as such a horrendous bigot/racist. Just using some common sense and critical thinking, but if he is this horrible bigot/racist, why has he married 2 foreign women & provided jobs to countless minority citizens throughout the decades. He does say some offputting things, but there is a difference in being a bigot/racist and making it more of a strict/tough process to gain citizenship so we can protect to people that are citizens here.

Altuve, Correa, and Springer named AL All Star game starters, Keuchel and McCullers named to the team as well although Keuchel will not pitch in the game. Hate to see Devo get left off the team as well as Marwin. Marwin I believe is at a disadvantage by not having a set position and being a utility guy although earlier this year he was the first position player in history to homer in 4 straight games while playing a different defensive position in each of the 4 games. If that isn't the definition of a utility stud then I don't know what is. With that being said, there will be snubs every year and I am excited the Astros will be well represented this year in Miami.

Paulino, Peacock, and Martes have all stepped in and done well. Morton is fighting an oblique strain but should be back around the all star break. I have a gut feeling we make a play for Gerrit Cole and Tony Watson (lefty reliever) from Pittsburgh. I have little to no trust in Sipp coming into a tight situation in the playoffs.

Musgrove is assuring he will be sent down to the minors once we get a couple of starters back from the DL. I always thought he would pan out as a #3 or 4 starter but it looks like I was wrong, he is a dumpster fire!

UT drops the final game of the regional to Long Beach State 2-1. Sloppy game early, but pitchers took over late. LB State's catcher and left handed specialist out of the bullpen really impressed me. I have a feeling Pierce will have the Horns back in Omaha soon! My stepbrother played for him at SHSU and said he would be absolutely shocked if he doesn't get them back to Omaha by 2019-2020.

I guess Mike Fiers realized he was pitching for his job and has looked good over his last start and early so far in this start.

Went up there to watch the Texans play the 49ers the last year Candlestick was open, very neat city! Excellent food in Chinatown, Fishermans Wharf has some neat bars and restaurants, and its a must to stuff as much chocolate in your gut at the Ghiradelli factory as well as tour Alcatraz.

What a Monday lineup of winner take all games to see who goes to the Supers! Hope the Supers and CWS are as entertaining as the Regionals have been thus far.

What a weird ballgame! Horns will play the winner of San Diego St. and Long Beach State in the regional final.

Travis Jones from Atascocita with the 2 rbi go ahead base knock in the top of the 12th! UT was 0-5 with runners in scoring position before that hit.

After watching the replay, I do agree with sending him, took the perfect defensive play to get him out. The guy that tried to go from first to third gave the horns a gift though.

What are Long Beach State's baserunners/basecoaches thinking? Game should've just been over just now, but a guy gets thrown out at 3rd then a guy gets thrown out at home after a horrible misplay by the left fielder. Wow!

Watching it on my phone at work. What a catch, and furthermore, what a ballgame!

Sam Houston State beats Arizona 5-4. Over the past decade, one would be hard pressed to find a college baseball program in the state of Texas who has been consistently better than SHSU.

Texas beats UCLA 3-2. Will play the winner of Long Beach State and San Diego State who are about to start.

I'm ready for the yearly trip to the Frio River, been almost every year since birth. I have had the pleasure of traveling to some really nice places, but my favorite vacation spot will always be in Concan.

Read an interesting article on the Cowboys 2nd round pick from last year, Jaylon Smith. Everyone knew he had top 10 talent but the injury hit his draft stock. The article I read said don't be surprised if he starts week 1 and becomes an impact player. I am a Texans fan, but as a pure football fan, I hope he can stay healthy and reach his potential, hate to see an injury derail a guy with so much God given ability.

660 is the charm lol
