1981 was a strike year. They only played 110 games.

2019 Houston Astros Thread
During the dog days of August I expect Marisnick, Diaz, and Maldonado to get a lot of playing time so everyone can get some regular rest. Then, during September, I hope it ramps up even more with call ups getting mixed in. Let's make sure the Death Star is fully ramped up in October.

2019 Houston Astros Thread
I wish Morgan could have spent his entire career with the Astros. His averages for the first 6 years with the Reds (1972-1977) R - 113, HR - 22, RBI - 84, SB - 60, BB - 118, BA - .302, OBP - .430, OPS - .926 Probably the best 6 year period for any 2nd Basemen except for Rogers Hornsby.

Good thing Jonathan Lucroy is available.

Sanchez needs to talk to Nolan Ryan about the blisters issue. He used pickle brine to toughen the skin and then a surgical scalpel to shave off excess skin. If that doesn't work, Moises Alou has some suggestions.

He got lost. All these sites look the same to him.

Wasn't the issue with CFM that we were willing to offer 2 years but TB gave him 3 years?

1917. Sam Mendes makes a war movie with Benedict Cumberbatch in it.
I'm surprised we haven't seen more WW1 movies the last few years since we have been having 100 year anniversaries since 1914. With our country's 250th birthday coming up, I hope to see some Revolutionary War and Founding Fathers movies.

MLB Network went to commercial break suggesting Wheeler was on the move.

There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people who ask questions.

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
Mack was the OC at OU in 1984 and had a good relationship with Switzer. In fact, Brown had a lot of stories about things he learned from Switzer. So no, I don't think Brown had quite the proper hatred for Oklahoma that he should have had.

Ump had a wide strike zone. They will adjust.

2019 Texas Football Season - "#8 Go Fuck Yourself Bitch"
Maryland was the first game of the year. If we played them later we would have won. If our defense is able to gel in time to win the early games against LSU and OU, we will not lose to both TCU and Iowa State unless Sam gets injured.

Top Gun 2
Who said he has gone 30 years without a promotion? He just hasn't been promoted as much as he should have been, and probably hit his ceiling at captain. According to The Navy Officer Ranking a Captain (where Maverick is currently) is three levels above Lieutenant (where Maverick was in Top Gun). A 2 star Admiral is two levels above Captain. So instead of being promoted 5 times, he has just been promoted 3 times.....assuming he hasn't been demoted at any time.
