same. Everyone is coming to "check and see if I am doing okay"Farmer1906 said:They're all coming to me because they know how big of a fan I am. It is funny everyone all of a sudden knows baseball and has all these grand opinions.BowSowy said:

My son and I were at that game. We both skipped work/school the next day.Robert2014 said:I was around for that one too, but I had to go in to junior high the next day instead of work.SoupNazi2001 said:Robert2014 said:

You just think you are tired. Us old timers had to stay up for 14 in 05 and a loss on top of that.

If you watch a youtube video of the old British game of rounders, it's actually pretty similar.

This is me. I didn't become an Aggie fan until I enrolled. I grew up a sip fan and decided the night before I left for orientation at the 40 acres that going to A&M just felt right. Have never regretted that decision and will literally cry like a baby when the Ags win a NC in football.Quote:
While the Aggies are my strongest sports love, the Astros were my first.
It's actually kind of interesting listening to them. None of their major sports really involve throwing overhand, so none of them can actually throw all that well. I guess it never dawned on me that not every culture grew up throwing a baseball or football.AggieLit said:If you watch a youtube video of the old British game of rounders, it's actually pretty similar.

When I lived in Chandler, AZ I used to spend a lot of nights at the neighborhood sports bar with this crotchety old Brit who was there every night sitting at the bar. He'd always complain that baseball was confusing and had too many rules, that we should get into cricket which was way easier. How in the hell can a game that lasts DAYS be easier to understand and follow than baseball?BowSowy said:I work with a lot of Brits, a few of whom are really trying to get into and understand the game.

No shipment notice here yet either. Do you know if you can cancel your order since they haven't shipped yet? I'm going to a game this weekend and I can just buy there...tjholley17 said:

Somehow someway academy, dicks, lids all had World Series Astros gear the night we won but the "official MLB shop" still doesn't. Just incredibly poorly run. Glad I canceled my order and gave it to dicks and lids instead.
I bought the same hat from Academy, and I logged into my account and did the chat with customer service. they removed the hat from my order since it hasn't shipped yet.Wabs said:No shipment notice here yet either.

When I lived in Europe I was amazed how unusual it was for guys to lift weights. No one had been taught to do it in school. I guess it goes with the lack of throwing sports, and the non-military culture.BowSowy said:It's actually kind of interesting listening to them.

Yep. Even my four-year old noticed it. "Why did George Springer's head turn black, daddy?" "Uhm...because of the...TV thing.."ClickClack said:NotGibbs said:
Not cool
Loathe what they've done this year adding fake ads and basically changing the facade of the ballparks. And now our players' heads are falling off!

Why? The official store doesn't have the distribution network and manpower a major box store does.tjholley17 said:it blows my mind that the official store takes longer to ship out stuff than places like Dick's or AcademyBuck Compton said:I ordered from Academy online and it shipped the next day.tjholley17 said:
