    Needed something positive to distract me away from all the BS of today.

    Enjoy! (for the 20th time?) ;)

    This was by far the most dominant season by an Astros pitcher. Nobody could touch him.

    The eventual WS champs were terrified of him. He was just unbelievable that year, and had some of his very best performances in the biggest moments. The man won the MVP of an LCS that his team lost!

    Right now, pretty hard to be positive about anything baseball for 2022.

    So my remedy is to lose myself in the past. 1986 was about the time I got interested in baseball, so this game was sorta my beginning.

    As far as what it takes, re-runs are only going to get me so far.

    College baseball.

    ATTSW has Fri/Sat/Sun night games this weekend, #1 ranked UT vs:

    #17 Tennessee
    #7 LSU
    #zero UCLA

    Also, Baylor and Oklahoma are involved.

    Shriners Children's College Classic at MMP, so go get your game on. I sure as hell would if I could.

    UT is fun, great pitching and defense as usual, but they can actually swing the bats now.
