Tigers got another closer candidate in a deal with the Astros. Veras to Detroit.

Some radio DJ from Texas. I listened to him a couple of times during the month or so he was on in Houston, but my wife listened to him growing up and throughout college so she was fairly upset when I told her Saturday night. It sounds like he was an amazing guy who did some really great work for ch...

I, for one, would watch Real Housewifes of Gary, IN.

I will say, I've enjoyed less abortion/Zimmerman/Paula Deen shit on my Facebook feed while this has been going on.

Agreed on Out of Sight. Terrific fucking flick. Love me some Elmore Leonard.

Loved Farina too. His role in Get Shorty is probably my favorite. Love me some Elmore Leonard.

I'm like two people removed from a porn star. My wife's cousin had three kids with some dude before she left them. My mom in-law is still close with the kids and their dad's family (his parents were even at our wedding in Vegas). Well the dad recently remarried and had a kid. Not sure what her real...

I'm so glad you included a particular word in this sentence, Giff.

It's my alma mater's mascot as well.

In fairness, Bobcats is a pretty terrible mascot for a pro team.

Well, gosh, since white people don't have a monopoly on racism, guess everything's honkey dorey!

If 'Nationwide' is still relevant, Ketchup Sawx, Greenwave, Blood of Tebow and Giff would be graduating to Unknown. Let me know if this is something that should happen. If yes, I'll email the managers to let them know. I'll put together Nationwide again and open it to the max amount of teams. So, a...

This book kept showing up on lists of great soccer/football reads. So I grabbed it from the library. 70 pages in and enjoying it. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41za8WzRF3L._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg The first guy mentioned in the book is...

It's true that we don't know FOR A FACT if Travis (his white name) would still be alive if he was white, but let's stop acting like it's completely fucking lunacy to have the opinion that black people are much more likely to be profiled as criminals than whites.

Astros top pitching prospect, Jarred Cosart, had himself a nice little debut last night. 8 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs while taking a no-hitter into the 7th against the red-hot Rays. Plus he hates Dallas, so that's cool.

I had some bacon cheese enchiladas a few weeks ago. Just so terribly delicious.

Good fucking lord my fantasy pitchers are awful this year. Fuck you Cain and fuck you Dickey.

Giff

Do you have to stick to the same schedule every week? If so, I'd probably pick Friday or Monday to take off, but if not, Wednesday would be my day and then would use Friday or Monday when needed.

World War Z was pretty awesome for a popcorn summer flick. Really looking forward to Pacific Rim.

Giff

I like the way you think!

Giff

That is outstanding.

Isn't Asik both too good and too expensive to use him primarily as a back-up center? He's probably a top-5 center in the league as it stands now. But he's under a very friendly contract, I believe. $8.3 million for a center of his caliber is a steal and a contract that any number of teams would lik...

Giff

Why didn't the Rockets land Josh Smith in addition to Howard? I don't think they wanted to pay him that much and right now probably view Asik as just as valuable. I think Asik is only moved as a piece in a deal that lands them a player like Aldridge or Love. Or at the very least, they'll wait to se...

The ticker at the WWLIS is reporting that Kobe Bryant's response to Howard signing with the Rockets was to unfollow him on Twitter and post a photo of himself with Pau Gasol on Instagram. Basically, he's a scorned high school cheerleader. I read that too. Hysterical. Him and Pau BFFs! Lakercorazon!...

You can turn off those alerts on your iPhone, howard. Go to Settings > Notifications and scroll down to the bottom to the "Government Alerts" section. You can turn off AMBER Alerts and Emergency Alerts. I've woken up to the AMBER Alert notice in the middle of the night a couple of times, ...

Fuck Doc Rivers. Anyone that says something along the lines of "I'm too classy to call you an idiot, so I won't call you an idiot" automatically is the dickhead in whatever argument is being had. Wish Dwight would hurry up and announce he's staying with the Lakers. Morey will need some tim...

Been a while since I could say this, but pretty proud of what happened in Austin last night. It'll be a short-lived victory, I'm sure, but hey, I ain't got much.

Giff

Can I count a championship from a school I didn't go to if I was in attendance for the winning game? If so, I'm counting the '02 CWS champion Longhorns. Also the day Daryl Kile died. That was quite the buzzkill to hear when we got back to the car to make our journey back to Austin.

Two - '94 and '95 Houston Rockets. I want to count '05's UT championship, but I didn't go to school there I had attended all home games for the previous eight seasons though when they one and I was pretty fucking stoked when VY ran in that TD.

You can't buy beer in Lexington on Sunday until 11 AM. That will teach me to not do my grocery shopping while the holy rollers are at church. And I know it used to be no alcohol sales on Sundays here, but what the fuck is the difference between 11 and 9 AM? A six-pack before brunch. Maybe the laws ...

Random stat - in the last month, the Astros have lost .5 games on the first place in the AL West. Not terrible baseball being played in H-town.

Not having Duncan in when you need a stop and a rebound to win the fucking championship is about an indefensible a decision as one can make. Almost as bad was leaving Manu in the entire time too. Momentum schomentum, the Spurs still should've won despite all that, so I think they take game 7 by 10.

Not even the block of the playoffs.
