My dad got me into baseball and used to umpire my little league games (our umpires also sucked and couldn't manage a strike zone, we were just like the pros!). And he's still alive and from what I know very happy and content with his second family, spending my grandparent's inheritance lavishly on my step siblings. So if your dad is still alive and in your life, don't let that time go to waste.

If he's not worried about the payday over all else and wants to focus on the competition then there is a different kind of gulf state he should move to.

zoux posted:Yeah, I think a lot of it is you got old school guys like JV and Max who want to pitch 12 innings every outing and believe they can get anyone out in any inning, and you have to accommodate guys like that. Younger guys, I think, know what time it is, so to speak, with regards to how much they get to pitch. Obviously the manager for my team last year is famous for letting starters pitch themselves into early retirement, so I can only go off of what I saw, but even Dusty was going to get some of the younger guys in the fourth and fifth. Occassionally. Baseball has always had problems when baseball changes to be still baseball but slightly different and this feels like more the same. Also, I have no idea what other people's opinions on this are, but watching MLB games online legally, especially if you're wanting to just follow your team is needlessly dumb and bad.

zoux posted:It is, but I couldn't exactly pirate streams of Astros games in 1994. Yeah that was more a follow on thought from the tweet earlier than commentary on you suffering in purgatory in the 90s. Just another aspect of refusing to get with the times kinda thing, although poo poo how far back do you gotta get for good streaming still being a coming soon. Space City Sports will be tied to cable packages as far as I saw.

idk y'all, the first official interleague series between the Astros and the Yankees involved the Astros doing a 6 pitcher combined no hitter in Yankee stadium and that's pretty cool.

Unless your starting point is Arlington, the answer is half an hour or longer. e: for the two years I was in Dallas, it was near Addison and that'd be a 45-60 drive in traffic not accounting for congestion trying to get to a parade route.

Dallas and Houston both had white flight. Houston's response was to say gently caress that and just swallow the flight and keep bloating out. Dallas took a different approach.

Bandire posted:I'm not sure its all that different. I bought a house in Little Elm (basically Denton) in 2021 because the housing market was utter loving chaos at the time. Its still just non-stop construction up here almost 3 years later. They are determined to pave and suburbanize every square inch all the way to Oklahoma at this point. I meant that the municipal boundaries of Houston kept expanding to recapture the flight (obviously not universally, and the furthest flung white flight still stayed independent and blah blah blah) while Dallas metro has a lot of individual municipalities. After Houston annexed Kingwood in the 90s the state got pissy and basically shut Houston down from doing it again. Both Houston and DFW are sprawling blobs of strip malls and parking lots. But we're getting pretty far from baseball at this point so I'll drop it there.

Rangers fans should get to enjoy every single minute of this and nothing anyone will say will really do anything to diminish it. If anyone isn't a basketball fan or just doesn't know a lot about 90s NBA, go look up the Hakeem/Robinson matchup because it was some top tier content.

Shinjobi posted:The Texans played their first game against the Cowboys and won, in what was expected to be a pretty easy win even for a lovely Cowboys team. If I had actually been watching football back then I'd have killed to see Jerry Jones's face when the game ended. That happened when I was still in school and I remember talking about it in class saying how I don't care if they suck forever because at least they beat the Cowboys. And boy they sure took that to heart.
