Why the Rangers? Don’t put this into existence for them!

Happy Opening Day! Made it to Philly just in time for first pitch yesterday!

I was only booed about 10 times by Phillies fans. Made friends either way.

First of four Rangers games in eight days. This is how you celebrate turning 40!

Oh man I can't possibly imagine how good that felt

Alejandro Kirk takes a hack for the fences. He looks beautiful

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk:

- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

hard to blame him. he also thought the marlins were a good franchise. sometimes, ignorance really is bliss.

The AL's representative in the World Series will either be the Tigers (haven't been since 2012), Blue Jays (haven't been since 1993), or the Mariners (have never played in a World Series).

This piece from @jennicarlsonok.bsky.social is absolute gold. www.oklahoman.com/story/sports...

I don’t consider the history. Just storm the court. Have fun.

It’s why I celebrated OU storming the field vs. Alabama when others scoffed because of their history. Relax. It’s sports. Have fun.

And these are college kids. They’ll remember that forever.

Still do. At the time, it would have been the right call!

Finished “The Day of the Jackal” last night. What an insanely great show!

Season 2 can’t get here fast enough (probably late next year, I know.)

It truly is! I got this Traeger off Marketplace around a month ago. First thing I did was bologna. Pretty safe starting point to make sure everything worked. And it was so good.

My nephew requested it tonight.

The progression of my pork hurt so far. Got bologna on too.

Hosting some of the in-laws for Christmas today.

The best start to a Saturday:

Wake up early with Koehn, put a pork butt on the smoker, go get donuts.

Enjoy said donuts and Bluey together while others in the house sleep.

I’m not built to handle Quail Springs, especially Walmart, at the holidays.

Get me the hell out of here!

Just looking at the 2025 calendar for no reason.

Maybe it’s the rocker nap I took with my youngest tonight talking, but I’m tired of reading about the “poor” Rangers this offseason.

Spend the damn money and figure out the TV deal and everything else later.

The money is there.

Oh, it’s the dream year for Yankees haters.

Soto plays very well in the postseason. Yankees make the World Series and lose.

Then Soto leaves … for the Mets!

Soak it all in, Yankees haters!

My take on this golden at-bat nonsense:

Yes! Now, any chance MLB makes the games available to purchase? I ask only because MLB.tv only goes back to the previous season, so next year those games go away.
