The 2023 Tampa Bay Rays Thread
Barring catastrophic injury, Ohtani is going to go down as the GOAT. Days like today make me mad I can't get hitting stats as well on days he's pitching. Wow. Just...wow.

Ha. Rusty vs Bodyline. The ending is absolute perfection, as Rusty greets an older version of himself walking in to bat at the Gabba.

Man the Bluey cricket episode WRECKED me.

USMNT 2023
Italy and Spain games certainly had...interesting calls. But that home crowd, that ohhhhh kor--ee--yah chant, it was a movement and Guus knew how to line up Park Ji-Sung, Lee Young Po, Ahn, etc. and get out of the way. Sometimes that's all you need, but Berhalter is not gonna be able to help himself...

USMNT 2023
Standard false 9/overload stuff, but I'm no tactical guru. I think the more important point is that we are multiple deep at more and more positions, and that'll hopefully go a long way towards a successful 2026. I still have very little trust in Berhalter as a chef, but these are mighty fine ingredients.

Port Aransas
Yup, about 12 min drive south of Port A proper.

Beach out by us (access road #2, marker 97ish I think) had plenty of space this morning and evening.

USMNT 2023
At full strength, we now have depth. You might only start 2 of Tyler Adams, Musah, and McKinnie in games you're looking to play free flowing. Or maybe you play all 3 against a offensive juggernaut to choke the supply lines, though it's a tough call who sits amongst your attackers (Pulisic, Reyna, Balogol, Weah). And I've decided the nickname should be Balogol. Argentina had Batigol, we have Balogol.

First time here in many years, but already thinking about another trip in October to make more use of that beach parking permit. It's hotter than hell this week. Been taking turns cooking so far but might do Dylans or Gaff for pizza one night.

USMNT 2023
This feels like a monumental fail. For me it's a simple as this---I'm convinced our 2026 ceiling with Berhalter is nowhere near as high as our 2026 ceiling with a coach with more international experience and success, and I believe such a coach was available to us. We will be more talented in 2026 than South Korea was in 2002 when Guus the Legendary Mercenary took them all the way to the semi-finals. But with Berhalter it wouldn't be a complete surprise if we crash out in the group stage or round of 16.

USMNT 2023
Only change from the warmup game is Miles in for Zimmerman. Let's go boys. I'm thinking dos a cero, with goals from Pulisic and Balogun.

2023 Houston Texans Offseason - A Huge #2
Draft capital doesn't win games. I'm glad the front office decided to push in their chips and trust their scouting, which put a franchise grade on Stroud and a generational grade on Anderson Jr. If those grades end up accurate, I'm not gonna miss next year's first rounder when we still have Cleveland's.

Haha yup, hilariously one sided. Expect the BCCI to throw its weight around and try to get the next WTC final played on the subcontinent so it's more spin friendly.

I'm still annoyed at the utter stupidity of Rohit and Pujara's shots getting out. But if India can have 6 wickets in hand an hour after lunch, shit might get mighty interesting. Of course Starc could also blow everyone the fuck away in the morning.

Hate to see Kante go on a free...glad he's getting PAID though.

So many bad decisions. Ashwin should be in this squad over Umesh, I don't care what the wicket looks like. Pujara and Rahane also don't belong...SKY and anyone else please. And while I like Bharath's glovework, I think Kishan was the pick.

Richmond didn't exactly look like the most wealthy part of London. Wonder how the fans scrounged up $1 billion...though I suppose ownership in a champions league team is pretty decent as far financing collateral goes.

Chelsea 2023-24: Super League Winners 4 years in a row
If they don't finish high enough next year to qualify for the Champions League, the financial hit could cause another mass sell off.
