The mega-meta Military family/friends thread
Well, one of my boys shipped off to Army Basic Training yesterday. We live in Missouri (about 60 miles or so west of STL), but he joined the Iowa Army National Guard. Sounds odd, I know, but he got a half ride to a college in Iowa to wrestle, so he joined the Iowa Guard. I drove him up to Iowa City (about 4.5 hours away from us) on Tuesday evening. We stayed in a hotel Tuesday night, then I took him to the Iowa National Guard Readiness Center Wednesday morning. He did a little final paperwork and then we said our goodbyes and I headed back home. They took him to Cedar Falls to catch a flight to O'Hare, then got on another flight there to... STL. He waited at the airport there for several hours before getting on a bus to Fort Leonard Wood. At approximately 9:15 PM last night, the wife and I drove to the commuter parking lot at the exit to our town and watched his bus go by. He called last night at 1:00 AM and read "I have arrived safely at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I am safe and will call when I can." click I was a Marine, so I have a general idea about what he's going through and what's going on in his head. I worry, but I know that he will be better for this. We said goodbye to the boy and he won't be the same person the next time we see him.

All of you talking shit about the "pool party" are really pissing me off! We're having a pool party for my kid's 8u baseball team.

Yeah, KMOX kept saying on the pregame that the weather was pushing through and the game would be played. That was right up until they called it.

One of my boys is going to basic training on Wednesday, so the family was going to the Cards game on Sunday. We were at our exit to Busch when they called it. Sucks.

Maybe they will just call The University of Texas the "Texas Longhorns". That will make the ags happy.

@Sbbruin Why don't you go to the 2022 Dodgers tread to gloat? This is a safe space for Cardinal fans to bitch.

Trivia/History thread
I think the high strike outs hurt him. His best years were kind of prior (at least I think) to analytics really becoming an important part of baseball. ETA: Playing for Cincinnati didn't help him either. That's probably the biggest issue.

2022 StL Cardinals Thread of Domination
I can't really fault him for giving Pujols a start yesterday since Philly was going with a bullpen game. I also won't fault Oli for much. I place the blame entirely on Mo. He just pisses me off. When he talks, the inflection of his voice always rises at the end of a statement, like he's asking a question. Girsch does the same thing and it annoys the shit out of me. It sounds like neither of them actually know what they are talking about. Oh, and they suck at their jobs. I don't know if the fault lies with Mo or the DeWitts, but Mo just irritates me.

I'm afraid that they are going to waste an incredible season by Goldy.

Good quote from Edmonds last night I'm paraphrasing, but: You can't get it close if you don't score any runs. Then when they were talking about the likelihood of some coach in Arenado's past telling him to stop being Nolan, Edmonds says something like "well, coaches tell elite athletes that all the time! I had a coach tell me..." He just likes to talk about himself.

MLB umpiring thread
But it's everyone else's fault that Angel Hernandez is passed over for crew chief. It's not because he's a shitty umpire.

Hopefully all he is doing at this point is increasing his trade value. I just don't trust Mo.

He makes a great minor league player.

Other States BBQ
I'm a fan of Chud's videos. I have not tried the foil boat just yet, but I'll give that a go next time. The last brisket I smoked was Mother's Day weekend. A lot of rain was in the forecast, so I made it the day before. I put sealed it and did the sous vide thing on Sunday. It was definitely the best I have made. Still quite a bit of room for improvement, but it does satisfy my brisket cravings.

Other States BBQ
I moved from Austin to Missouri about 8 years ago and for some reason have eaten at BBQ places here a few times. To further add to my bad decision history, I ordered brisket each time. I have since started to learn how to smoke my own brisket and it's currently below average to average based on standards back home, but it's still the best I have had in Missouri. ETA: I did go to KC once and got some ribs there that were excellent... brisket, not so much.

There was a time when I wish that he had received an 80 game suspension here. Tremendous talent with shit for brains.

I was expecting to see the Cardinal batters get in the back of the box and then do the shuffle/slide up in the box like they do in softball.

Brad Thompson is so much easier to listen to than Jim Edmonds.

Better Call Saul: Season 6
I think Lalo is killed and disposed of in the underground future meth lab and Jimmy never finds that out. Or, maybe that's too easy. Howard's investigator is going to find some shit on Kim in his tailing of Jimmy and she goes away. Again, maybe too easy.
