Thanks. I’m gonna have to check into this. What about NFL games that are streamed? Sorry, not trying to hack the thread. I have Paramount but I’m not paying for all the streamers. Plus, I have a borderline dumb tv. Thanks for the info.

Did some work for a doctor who owned a small peninsula directly across the lake from Many Louisiana. I believe you could see Pendleton bridge when you got out into the main part of the lake. Seems like it was called Shamrock Shores. It’s been years so I could be wrong. Went through Hemphill to get there. Ain’t it funny how most of the time when you’re bank fishing, you cast out as far as you can, and when you’re in a boat, you cast towards the bank?

Sounds like a game I’m glad I can’t see.

I have Direct also. What does YouTube cost?

Well, I can’t watch and I refuse to pay more for every streaming game.

Just a Google search since I said I have been wrong before. Not disputing your stats, but I thought he had a good year. Jeremy Peña's 2026 performance as a leadoff batter has been excellent, serving as a highly effective spark plug at the top of the lineup for the Houston Astros. [1] Peña's 2026 Splits as a Leadoff Batter When manager Joe Espada penciled Peña into the #1 spot in the batting order, the shortstop responded with high-level production. In 93 games batting first this season, his leadoff-specific metrics include: [1, 2] Batting Average: .270 Hits: 103 Home Runs: 17 (including multiple leadoff homers) RBIs: 44 Runs Scored: 68 [1, 2] (Note: Overall across all lineup spots in 2026, Peña hit .276 with 22 home runs, 81 runs, and an .802 OPS). [1] How He Compares to Other Leadoff Batters Peña brings a unique blend of power, contact, and improved plate discipline that places him among the upper tier of major league leadoff hitters. Elite Power for a Leadoff Hitter: Hitting 17 home runs purely from the leadoff spot puts him among the more dangerous power threats at the top of a lineup in MLB. His total of 22 home runs on the year matches his career high. [1, 2] Advanced Metric Growth: According to FanGraphs, Peña's metrics have surged over the 2025 and 2026 seasons. He has dramatically improved his ability to hit fastballs, dropping his strikeout rate against four-seamers and elevating his line-drive rate to 35.7%. This approach allows him to consistently set the table for power hitters like Yordan Alvarez trailing behind him. [1, 2, 3] Consistency: He has maintained a highly stable batting average (.270 as a leadoff man, .276 overall), making him a more reliable tone-setter than high-strikeout, low-average modern leadoff profiles. [1, 2] While pure speed-and-on-base leadoff archetypes might draw more walks, Peña’s ability to punish fastballs, hit for power, and limit empty swings has made his 2026 leadoff campaign an unqualified success for Houston

If the Astros can continue this hitting, the pitching can be mediocre. Spence batting in bottom of the order has given a huge spark to the rest of the hitters. For me, the way Peña goes with his hitting is a telltale sign. I’ve been wrong before.

Not sure why Aubrey didn’t squib kick it. Terrible clock management on trying drive. Thought the clock ran out on the Ravens. Terrible way to lose. Some games are over in the 1st qtr.

Also had a scare with Beto. I don’t understand what’s wrong with people’s thinking these days. Socialism/Communism is never the way to go.

A friend of mine, who is a diehard Yankees fan, and his wife is an Astros fan, has an Astros/Yankees matchup for the A LCS.

Astros are A.L. West Champs!!!

I guess I said the Astros had 2 paths because all we can do today is win or lose. Just the combinations make it 3.

I knew that and my math failed me this early in the morning. Lol

Yes, win win, win loss, loss loss. Rangers have one, win loss. Thanks.

Astros have two paths. Rangers only have one.

6-1 top 5th. Alvarez with a 3 run shot.

2 games?

Well, I’d kick #1, Simmons, off my team. That was the most disgusting display of celebration I have ever seen. What a complete idiot. What’s wrong with these players?

I’m done. Carry on with your 9/11 Epstein files thread.

Not what I said, but expected. You said politics played no role in rescue efforts and I proved that it does, so “on topic” was my response to your statement. How sickening that a government agency will pick and choose whom to assist after a national emergency. Nor’easter about to wipe NJ off the map. Watch the cries for assistance from Trump’s government….a government they hate. I bet the house Trump will give aide. BTW, I know you live in S.C. I did say your “region”.

Close to your region…… Hurricane Helene flooded N. Carolina and FEMA refused aide to Trump supporters. Entire communities were lost. That tells me all I need to know.

Astros botched a double play which was the start of the 6 run inning that was our demise.

Should the Astros win tonight, they only have to win one more game no matter what happens to the Rangers. This game isn’t over but we are winning by 1.

Well, my Longhorns play the brunch game this week @ Tennessee. UT vs. UT. Should get interesting with Trump visiting and half prices concessions (including alcohol) starting @ 9:00 a.m. [Hidden Content]
