Oh great another disastrous contract handed out by Bagwell that we have to keep being reminded of for another year. Are we still paying Abreu?

E-sock is a joy to watch at plate. It’s anti-Astro and hope it rubs off on these clowns.

Well our outfield sucks. We need to keep the pressure in the Astros about the abysmal performance of our outfield. They are trying to mask it by having Altuve out there but I’m not fooled..we still have a AAA lineup in the outfield.

Wow Yordzn missed a middle middle ball he should have hit to the moon, then swing at a slider that went 55 feet. And then Walker with the Astros GIDp. This team is Exactly where we were worried they would be.

Welp…2024 hitting seems to have carried over to 2025. Astros only team in MLB without an XBH. Looking like a limp-dick 1-3 loss

Oh great here comes Prom to tell us we are all overreacting after we watched the MLB’s worst outfield get worse and then watch us look like hacks with RISP through 15 innings. Get fricked asswipe

Slam dunk ace on # 13 at Howell Park in 1975 as a15 yo.
I’m trying to remember that hole. I remember 10 was the par 5 going straight away from the clubhouse. I remember it because my first ever eagle was on that hole. I was playing extra holes after a freshmen 9 hole tourney and hit a 3 wood at dusk that I couldn’t see land. I walked up and the ball was a few inches directly behind the hole. I have no idea how it didn’t go in for a 2…maybe was going too fast and hit the pin and spun to that spot. If it was rolling slow there’s no way it stops there. I had forgotten about that until you mentioned Howell park

I think I just had mine. I made a 25 foot birdie putt to win our annual Ryder cup horse race competition after the match play. 26 guys watching. I can only think of one other one and it was a punch hybrid under some trees that rolled up onto the fringe and allowed an easy 2 putt to break par for first time.

They are amazing cars. iCE vehicles have the following that EVs don’t need:
Air intake systems,
Fuel pumping, filtration, injection systems
Exhaust management, / emission control, noise reduction systems
Engine cooling systems
Engine mechanical lubrication systems
Engine lubricant cooing systems
Transmissions to change engine rpm/drive shaft rpm ratios
A whole frickoad of computer modules and sensors to manage all that shite
They are simpler machines to operate and more reliable for daily commuter type cars. They also are fast as shite and fun to drive. They aren’t great for long distance trips, but give it time and they will eventually be better at that too.
I never understood the hate for them. I have diesel, gas and ev and all serve their purpose.

I don’t understand why slow play doesn’t have a fee. I’d offer a fast play discount that I you get refunded after a round if you maintained pace if play. I’d have AI monitor the speed of each group based on find cart data or a caryable token for walkers. Call them when AI tells you someone has fallen more than X minutes behind and tell them they are at risk of losing their fast pace discount.

I’d legalize it, regulate it like pharma, and then also make living in public illegal. So if you can do drugs and function then great, but if you can’t then being a panhandling homeless person is not a fallback plan. I’d also get way tougher on drug and alcohol contributing to crimes like DUI.

Pretty sure they used to build bombs or rockets there. Had a buddy with a timber land hunting lease and it felt like going back in time when we drove through

When proven wrong, run away. The MAGA tradition. When confronted with facts, y'alls neck inches further up your a-hole. Trump is a Demagogue, do you deny this?
Proven what? I agree he used tariffs as leverage on several countries to get them to do their part in our national security on shared borders. You completely ignore the discussion on reciprocal tariffs EO and pretend that those 3 examples are the only tariffs in play. You further have disingenuous discussions about him and his record of not starting new wars. Now you want to debate that he’s only appealing to people based on prejudice when in fact he had higher percentages of Hispanic and black voters than any republican in history. He’s staunchly pro-American and fighting against these other institutions who have been tearing down America. If that makes him a demagogue by your definition then so be it.

Ok. I thought you were capable of rational discussion but you only choose to discuss aspects that support your points and ignore others that dispute them. You should consider listening to an opposing viewpoint and considering it instead of focusing only on an aspect you disagree with.

Yes. Thanks for being honest. He's using tariffs as a weapon, not simply as "reciprocity."
So you just skipped the rest of my post? What are your thoughts on him not starting any wars and ending wars that others started? Is that good?

He’s threatened tariffs on Mexico and Canada to get them to help with border security. He threatened tariffs on Colombia for refusing the illegals. Neither were enacted because the countries complied with demands.
He signed a separate reciprocal tariff executive order I think that goes into effect in April that basically says we will increase our tariffs to match those of other countries on our imports, so this gives them the opportunity to lower theirs.
Also, it’s ironic that you use “weapons” to describe the actions of the least violent President in a long time.
