[Official] Mariners @ Astros

This is why I don't live in La Jolla or Monterey

 

Remember visiting La Jolla.
Beautiful coast. A very heady aroma od seal poop though.

 

Sea lions, not seals.

...and they do have a proper stank to 'em

 

Day off is great for the pitching staff

Sousa and Dubin are the only questionable guys on Tuesday

 

Dubin thru 7 appearances and 8.2 innings has yet to allow a run. Pretty awesome.

 

Capture the nag!

Just joshin :}

 

Y'all remember the rule book trivia shtick back in the Dome Days? **** was wild.

 

I hear ya. The 9-2 victory to start the series didn't satiate me either. 8-2 rules!

:}

 

I've been saying all along that this team is but an identity short of being special. That this is essentially a totally new team trying to get to know itself mid-DynAstry is such a distinct and unique experience to witness in real time - one who's story grows more and more rich by the day.

I'd like to hear the case against the proposition that so very much about this win provided the absolutely ideal conditions for to cultivate such an identity moving forward.

 

Oh wow, bold claim! I have several times had the privaledge of swallowing copious Heady Topper and Pliny, which sit at the top of my heady exclusive brew list.

Straight up: I posit Yellow Rose and Gentleman's Relish alone establish Lone Pint amongst the absolute elite.

 

We know :}

 

Of course. Why do you think I'm smarter than yall?

 

There should be a Hangout thread for "best session beer".

That one ain't it.

 

It was totally true for me and my family, though. Let's hear from someone who lived there for a significant amount of time.

 

Just mostly true.

 

8.5% sounds like my kinda session, and frankly, I want in on it.

 

Arlington lost again.

 

Don't you just love clearing low set bars?

Edit: this fits here, taboot:

 

I've got a buddy (brother from another mother type) who I grew up and played ball with since Kindergarten.

His son is a bit of a baseball prodigy. Justin says "I don't push him into anything, the kid just wants to play baseball (and some soccer) year round"

Reads books, plays baseball. 14 yo playing with 16 yo, he ain't even hit his growth spurt yet.

"well, if he's this serious about it, I'll get him the best coaching I can" So yeah, there's travel squad and private coaching and all that stuff I hate....except this kid is actually really talented

 

Their season is probably unraveling. Especially considering the fact that their 3 good SP are injury time bombs. Their offense could catch fire but the odds that all 3 of Mahle/Eovaldi/DeGrom stay healthy all season are ~0% imo.
