Response when pressed for proof:
I actually have 6 links, and was getting super pissed the more info I looked up...So, look it up yourself, I am not going to fight about something I know to be true, to a person who would just as soon see me in prison or dead.

In the box score, Brian McCann hit a laser to first base. In reality...

Oh come on guys, let's be fair. That's a really tough play to make.

FYI to all you other drunks out there, I was able to get the blue and orange dipped Makers at specs today on my way home from work.

BE AWARE ITS NOT KEPT WITH THE OTHER WHISKEYS. I had to ask and they were keeping it in the boxes by the front of the store. There would have been 0 way of knowing it existed unless you asked


Completely right. I had to ask too. And they were in some non-descript box at the front of the store. I grabbed 3 at the spec's on Katy freeway near Voss.
Plenty of inventory if I swing by today?
I'm not sure. Their inventory seemed really sporadic. They didn't have any actual Maker's Mark on the shelf. That's why I asked. They were stacked up in boxes near the front of the store. There were about three boxes left when I went there yesterday around 1pm. Each box had about 8 bottles. I don't know how popular they are. I'd think it is at least worth a phone call or if you are in the area just dropping by.

Just for reference that was 2012. Below are the players involved:

Steve Pierce: First Base and the fine throw back to Altuve
Matt Downs: Diving in to try to cover up the grenade Pearce is launching
Wilton Lopez: a pitcher last heard from in 2014 when he appeared in 4 games for the Rockies.

It's weird that when the McCann "hit" happened yesterday, I remember thinking that the game was in hand and that it felt good to start the season with a comfortable win.

Now that I'm watching that replay, it just hit me that it was 1-0 in the third inning. Crazy.

Anyone else interested in doing the 9x9x9 challenge this year?

9 beers and 9 hot dogs during the span of 9 innings.

You could probably buy a hooker for how much all that would cost...

Many moons ago at what was then $0.50 slovacek sausage dog night at Olsen I ate 9 dogs in 4 innings. The first 8 were fine. The 9th was brutal.

Great write up in the Chronicle on Rusty Staub: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/astros/amp/Rusty-Staub-former-Astro-slugger-who-spent-23-12792698.php

The man started the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund. RIP, Le Grande Orange.

I'm planning to do it at home instead of at the park. Same accomplishment for $100 less

From this article:
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/astros/amp/Rusty-Staub-former-Astro-slugger-who-spent-23-12792698.php

Former teammates Dierker and Bob Aspromonte and former executive Tal Smith, though, still cluck their tongues over what the Astros could have accomplished had the ballclub kept Staub and other future stars such as Jerry Grote, Joe Morgan and Mike Cuellar rather than losing them in ill-fated trades engineered by Richardson.

"We would have had Jerry Grote, who was an All-Star, catching and Bob Watson or Rusty at first, Joe Morgan and Sonny Jackson and Doug Rader in the infield, Jimmy Wynn, Cesar Cedeno and Jose Cruz in the outfield and myself, Jerry Reuss, Mike Cuellar and Don Wilson pitching," Dierker said. "It would have been formidable."

Happy to report that the hosts were rather pleasent to our group yesterday.

Tailgate was slick and the energy was positive. Definitely had a few Ramger fans chirp a little, but they were shut down pretty quick. That dinger straight outta the gate was glorious!

Recharging at the hotel now before round two.

Go Stros!
TO THE DROP ZONE!!!

Been dealing with issues no one should have to go through. So glad the season is here. Great start yesterday and looking forward to many Ranger ass-whippings from our boys this year.

Got my Maker's Mark today while out at lunch.

One Spec's had a couple cases yesterday and was out today. The other has them but is not releasing them until Monday.

Had to go a bit out of the way to a more discreet Specs but I got them.
