Hey Oil Barons.......

Hey Oil Barons.......
Another 10 figure deal in Houston. KKR-backed Crescent Energy is buying SilverBow for $2.1B. This comes just weeks SilverBow turned down Kimmeridge's latest unsolicited offer to buy the company. Crescent will now be the #2 operator in the Eagle Ford.

Gonna brave the rain tonight in hopes of finally seeing my first in-person W of the season. Feel free to blame me if we come up short of the sweep. After seeing Javier's last start, I'm more than a little worried.

Man that was ideal from a pitching usage perspective. 7 scoreless from Framber with less than 100 pitches. Only used Martinez in relief. Everyone else gets some much needed rest.

A walk-off in extras despite our pitcher getting ejected after 3 IP and going 0-9 with RISP in regulation? Hader comes in and throws 2 spotless innings, stranding the ghost runner in the Top of the 10th? Things seem to legitimately have changed for us. That's a game we lose 100% of the time back in April.

2024 Weight Loss/Exercise Thread
Knock on wood, but I've had a good run since this post. No injuries or illnesses since then and been averaging 5 days/week in the gym. I've been working out pretty steadily for close to a year and half, and I've pretty much giving up on "losing weight" and am fully focused on body recomposition. Started out around 210 (6'0) and probably close to 30% body fat. Just plain out of shape. I've plateau'd right around 195 for close to 6 months now, but slowly, steadily increasing the share that is muscle vs. fat. I'm never going to be described as "slim," but that's really not the look I'm going for anyways. At my age and build, I'd be quite happy with ~190 and ~18%. Not there yet, but a lot closer than I used to be.

Sell in April, buy it all back in May? Nasdaq closed at a new ATH today at 16,511. S&P at 5,246 is back to within 8 points of previous ATH set on 3/28/24. DJIA back up to 39,555. Still on the hunt for 40K. Closest we've come is 39,807 back on 3/28/24.

9-6 in our last 15. Just keep stringing together more W's than L's and let the chips fall where they may.

Amazon prime recommendations
If you're looking for a sci-fi series to watch, all 4 seasons of Battlestar Galactica (the 2000's version, not the campy 70's original) were just recently added to Prime. Incredible show.

Anime watchers out there?
Nerd Alert. Anime thread being bumped. Finally finished AOT earlier this month. Was watching 3-4 episodes a week during workouts. Took me several months to finish at that pace, but really enjoyed it. Demon Slayer is finally back. First episode of new season dropped last night. Planning to watch this afternoon. New episodes coming out Sunday nights the next few weeks. In the meantime, started a promising new series last week. Kaiju No. 8. Currently just 5 episodes available, releasing weekly. Full first season won't be out until end of June.

Attaboy JV. Exactly what we needed today. Now lets please get 6 more outs without any major drama. Maybe tack on another run or two for good measure.

Well, I guess if you're going to go BB, BB, HBP, it's best to do it with nobody on, 2 outs.

Would have been nice to have Bielak come in and eat a few innings as today's long relief whipping boy.
