i really dont want to get swept by the angels

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is

I would say so

Since you like to go around to the other SBN sites and embarrass them yourself…

No

You don’t represent them. Posters like Steal Home are an embarrassment to them and other Ranger fans. There is a difference.

Apparently...

…you might want to wait until 4 a.m. to leave, because that’s when Jindal is opening up the contraflow lanes.

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 30, 2008 8:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

thanks Adam..

Well if I left at 2 there would still be access out but not as many lanes to choose from?
Is the contraflow just opening more lanes up on both sides for exit but not entrance into the city?

by LAMuscleFag on Aug 30, 2008 8:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Correct

Contraflow is opening both sides of the interstate to be used by traffic departing the city. So if you were on I-10 heading to Houston, you would have what are normally the east-bound lanes opened up for traffic heading west.

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 30, 2008 8:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

ok awesome..thanks!

I have a feeling there is not going to be a lot of traffic at 2.. so I’ll hit it around then.
Mayor Nagin just said that this is going to be bigger than Katrina and “the mother of all storms”.

yeh me too...

the last few hours have really changed the look of the storm.
It’s come together very quickly and its HUGE…a 900 mile wide storm.
It’s clearly not the one to ride out.

traffic

we have relatives who thought the same thing when katrina was coming “middle of the night there wont be traffic” well there was hours and hours worth.

so dont be surprised if you get stuck in a standstill

You know

I know it’s been nice having Marlon Byrd’s red-hot bat in the middle of the order lately, but I think I might try him at leadoff if I where Ron. He’s got some speed, and he’s aslo got a 384 OBP. I think I’d move him to leadoff and move Davis up behind Blalock (yes, that’s back-to-back lefties, but Davis actually has a reverse split – OPS 983 against LHP in the Majors this year).

Weaver...

I don’t have the stats to back it up, but it seems like he always pitches well agaimst the Rangers. I can’t really remember a game when we hit him very well.

his career ERA against us is 2.26

and this year it is 0.69

I have a choice tonight: sit in front of the computer and listen to the KLRD feed while watching a crappy internet video stream, or sit downstairs and either listening to Rex Hudler or muting the TV.

Thoughts?
