Congrats Tex! Toobin' down the river too as you're close to the Guadalupe (New Braunfels) and San Marcos River where I live.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) Who even brings young kids to a movie like that? Drives me nuts. I've said before, would love to see movie theaters designate certain screens/rooms to be 18 and over only. I've been to too many movies where some idiot(s) bring their toddlers and little kids to an R-rated movie. The R-rated scenario happens very frequently here in South Texas. Too much for my taste. Also, Alamo Drafthouse is pretty similar to Icon...18+ only even for PG movies because of the alcohol you can get while watching the flix. Good food too. Great experience.

Seth Lakso ‏@SethLakso 3m Most encouraging stat today: 52 of Erik Johnson’s 72 pitches (through six innings) have been strikes. Johnson hasn’t gone 7 inn. since May 7

Erik Johnson in 10 games at Charlotte: 2013: 4-1, 1.57 ERA, 57.1 IP, 43 hits allowed, 19/57 BB/K, 1.12 GO/AO, 1 HR allowed. 2014: 1-4, 6.54 ERA, 53.2 IP, 61 hits allowed, 31/36 BB/K, 1.00 GO/AO, 5 HR allowed. (All stats not counting today's start) He says he's not injured. Then what's the problem??

I think the Andre Rienzo experiment may be over soon. Erik Surkamp has been pitching pretty good in his last 10 games overall.

Jason Coats just hit his 2nd HR tonight, up to 12 HR now for the Dash. Interesting...

And seeing that Alfaro is one of the crown jewels in the Rangers org, hope the blood lines do extend to his little brother. Man wouldn't that be something?

I wonder if the White Sox org will ever put their pitching beliefs into this....EV. http://www.sbnation.com/longform/2014/6/18...e-perry-husband

What GM in this or any lifetime, during a rebuild/retooling of an organization, has "hit" 50% or more of a success rate during his first 1-2 years on the job as the GM regarding every single transaction. Not as an Asst. GM.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 is AMAZING. Good story, decent ending...and a curve. Wow.

Disagree? keithlaw @keithlaw · Jun 10 Karsten Whitson, Brett Austin, and DeAndre Smelter all could have had $1M+ in 2011 and didn't sign. Austin might get half. Other two get zip Brett Austin's reply to Keith Law: Brett Austin ‏@brettaustin_3 @keithlaw not always about the money!

Trayce Thompson.

Something cool about our eighth round pick: http://www.silive.com/colleges/index.ssf/2..._players_1.html

Jared Mitchell. Just anything over .220 with extra bases was my hope. Scott Snodgress as well, at least something decent since he is repeating AA.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 26, 2014 -> 01:00 AM) So the people on here that don't have Rodon 1st on their lists is it do to what you think he'll become or Boras $$ ? IMHO Aiken and Kolek seem to have more upside. According to BA and MLB, Aiken seems to have more polish and upside than Rodon, and Kolek is the hardest thrower/pitcher than Rodon. Regardless that Rodon has Scott Boras as his agent.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2014 -> 03:44 PM) Board survey time....who is your wish list for the 3rd pick? Fathom's Sure To Be Wrong Wish List (I was against drafting Wacha and Trout, but loved the Beckham pick) 1. Rodon 2. Nola 3. Aiken 1. Aiken 2. Kolek 3. Rodon

Apologies if this has been posted already....linky (and vids) to SBN's The Good Phight on Tyler Kolek, in case some haven't seen him pitch... http://www.thegoodphight.com/2014/4/7/5586...tyler-kolek-rhp Interesting 2nd vid because 2014 draftee Alex Jackson is catching Kolek on that day.

Regardless of his future role, that sinker is going to look REALLY nice at the Cell in a few years.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 16, 2014 -> 08:33 AM) That'd be great. Only problem I see is that neither should lose. Cesaro shouldn't lose his first major match/feud and Lesnar shouldnt Lose Til Bryan at next WM. On another note, who is even deserving of the title right now? Batista? He's leaving. Orton? Just had it, boring. Kane? Ugh no. Lesnar? If he's not a part timer sure. Cena? Ugh no. Reigns? He's terrible. That's pretty much the whole main event. HHH is probably the best option in 2014. I could see HHH get it back as part of an Authority/Evolution angle. You know, as the COO and El Numero Uno de Authority. Cesaro would be my other pick as a gradual buildup challenger for the title.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?

Mark Henry injured in Boston. http://www.24wrestling.com/mark-henry-inju...sues-statement/

Interesting that May has his 6th homer, and yet ONLY has 4 doubles. I understand that his time at Kanny is a small sample, but IMHO I didn't think he'd had this much power already. I'm wondering if he'll top out at 10HR or less a year, or if his upside/physical frame can help him hit double digit HRs every year.

I'd love an interview with Tyler Danish at Kanny, or just a couple of quotes if at all possible on anything, or how the Sox got him out of his commitment to Florida. (I know part/most of it is $$$, just wondering if there was anything else).
