Not really fast food...
But the best burger I have ever had is at Spanky’s here in Lubbock. The Bacon Swiss Burger is heaven on a bun, mix that with the cheese sticks and you can die a happy man.
Did you get the cheese sticks?

Yep
Nothing better than Spanky’s cheese sticks and a cup of ranch. I hear that the lady who opened Spanky’s owns a restaurant in the DFW that uses the same recipe for their cheese sticks. I have no idea if that’s true or not but it’d be great for Metroplexers to try them out.
she owns Double Nickle in Lubbock also
not sure about the DFW restaurant
Besides the burgers, Spankys Turkey and Swiss is the nuts
Did the one on University finally get torn down?

Nope
Still one of the most popular spots for students and residents alike and voted the best burger/local shop in the city almost annually. They’ve done some renovations in the past year, new flatscreen HDTV’s, they sealed off the upstairs and installed air conditioning, and best of all they now accept debit and credit instead of cash only.

Rain Delay
Anthony Andro FSWT says at least 30 minute delay to start game.
Yeah, thinking that will end up being at least an hour.

We got hit
With that system here this morning and it was pretty rough. Forced our summer camp indoors for the day and we only got hit with the edge of it. Hopefully Arlington doesn’t get the main cell.
Rain this b*tch out, I could live without of day of watching us get 2 hit by a spare.
I thought it be all warm and shitty, but it just tasted like normal beer. It was still cold.
My 13TicketAm thing is getting reallllllly scratchy...

With the way he's pitching now
Perez is going to end up arriving before him.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
"I am one of the biggest Texas Ranger fans out there but I'm also one of the smartest. Deal with it."
-The Outlaw
Probably
but I can see him moving up to Frisco by next season, barring more injuries. I think they put him on the same timeline as Feliz/Holland. Spend plenty of time at each level before moving into the pen. 2012 is probably about right. He really is going to have to find some consistency, though. This up/down crap that he is pulling has got to be frustrating for everyone watching him.

How is that the Holland schedule?
The guy shot from A ball to the Majors in a year…
That's pretty much the exact opposite of the Holland/Feliz timeline
outside of letting him work out of the bullpen.

You can disregard that statement. In fact, disregard everything I typed. I’m freakin’ tired, can’t focus and am stuck at work while a storm rages on outside my window. On top of all that, the Rangers aren’t going to get to play until about 9 because a lake has fallen on Arlington.
Let’s do this…Main won’t be here until ’11 at the earliest but likely ’12 barring further injuries.

Purke
seems underrated around here. I think a couple of the articles about his mechanics have over influenced the herd.
"He's old school in that he give up his groin like that. It hurt me when he do that" -- Worsh on Chris Davis' stretch at first base to end the game vs. the Angels on 5/16
I've read Trip's
and he says his arm action bothers him, however, I’ve read others who say it won’t be much of a problem.
So with that said, I am excited about him because of his high ceiling, but I’ll reserve my judgement after a couple of pro seasons.
yea, if anything, Purke is about as much upside as you can have in HS lefty
He’s not one of those kids who came out firing bullets in HS, but slowly built himself up to being a power pitcher, and still has room to grow. That usually bodes well for his arm. Also, I could see him continue to build off that and be a lefty who consistently throws in the mid 90’s, up from his 90-92 slot, and with his ability to spin a breaking pitch well, thats about as good as it gets in terms of high upside HS kids. He’s not a lock to develop like that, and the variables are always stacked against any draft pick, but if you wanna talk about prospects with the most upside in our system, he’ll be right behind Perez in my book and right there with Holland and Feliz, putting him somwhere in the 4th-6th in our prospect spectrum, should be right where Scheps goes

Was there even a reason they replaced the infield sod? Seemed kind of odd to replace it right before a stretch with so many home games.
Longer/thicker to slow down grounders,
was what CJ said.

I might feel differently if I had lived though the Loma Prieta quake in '89

His stuff is still very good.
The control lapses bother me, but the way he’s being handled right now bothers me and I think it’s hurting him long term.
Just as he starts getting comfortable as a starter (Phil Hughes over his last 3 starts: 18 innings, 21 k’s, 3 bb’s, 3.5 ERA, 0.94 WHIP) they jerk him back into the ‘pen and promptly don’t pitch him at all for like 8 days.

Mitch Williams is terrible. Pleasc is bleh. Larkin is outside of personality and over his head. Leiter is alright, I’ll give that, but it’s not a good forum for him.

The lamest thing about him yesterday was how he had all these definitive, verbose opinions on draftees you knew he had done jack shit of research on
Guys he prolly literally (and I mean literally in the literal, non-asanine sense, Sobchak) hadn’t even heard of 2 hours prior.
And yet, he bloviated incessantly on what to the newcomer would seem like very detailed, semi-firsthand “observations.”

I'm not denying that
but when he pitched against us back in April, he let so many people on, only to have his defense save his ass. That game was terrible to go to.
Would they trade him? What would it take?
They want to shed salary
and he’s really the only salary they can move.
I still say Davis-Max Ramirez-Joaquin Arias for Gil Meche and Kila Ka’aihue is a great trade for all involved.

Saw Pat Green in San Diego a few years back
Sutcliffe, who is a giant in person (appeared to go 4 inches over me and i’m 6’2-3), was schnockered off his heftpy petoot.
Evidently, he had given Green a nice tour of Petco, and Green had returned the favor with the VIP pass, and Ol Ricky proceeded to make a size ginormous ass of himself (and by extension Green) on stage.
The other noteworthy fact was that I met Adriana La Cerva. She was there w/ her wackadoo boyfriend, the poor man’s Kid Rock, Shooter Jennings, the opening act. Conversely, she is seriously tiny in person.

My little sister's half-retarded but very nice little gay man friend is convinced that Magic went to Europe....
…where he had a procedure done where all the blood was circulated out of his body via a pump, flash boiled, and then pumped back in.
I didn’t even know what to say to that.
He went on to say that everyone in the gay community knows about cures for AIDS like this, but that the big health corporations have had them all outlawed here cause they make so much money off of HIV and AIDS patients.

flash boiling blood

that doesn't sound right...
It is totally conceivable that he is doing what tens of thousands of HIV positive people are doing in this country. Taking highly effective meds that beat the virus down to an undetectable level therefore it no longer damages the immune system.
People rarely die of AIDS anymore when they are on meds. They keep getting better and better to the point that they have it down to a pill a day. There is no reason why these people will not live full lives given that there are so many options now if one regimen should fail and they usually don’t unless you miss a lot of doses.
When I lived in NYC I used to volunteer to help those who were sick from AIDS. The treatments have come a long way. What used to be a certain death sentence is now a maneagable conditon like diabetes. In fact if given the choice I’d rather have HIV than diabetes. There are no side effects from being HIV positive if you’re on the right regimen
I know people who have been positive for fifteen years and go on with their lives as if they weren’t.

Yup.
HIV is very treatable if you’re willing/able to take all the meds.
I was just blown away at this kid’s idea that he had all his blood pumped out, boiled, and then pumped back in. And he actually believed it. I find stupidity of others to be quite interesting.
And idiots with their damn "The big corporations are holding back the cure/solution to problem “________” cause they’re making so much money off of it" always amuse me.
Yes, idiots. I’m sure the big drug companies have the cure for cancer but won’t release it because everytime one of the researchers brings it up, their accountants shake their bald little heads and point out that the end of the fiscal year is rapidly approaching and they need those big fat cancer treatment checks to keep rolling in.

OK
So my ex… who is engaged and lives in Austin, sent me a text midnight Saturday, just wanting to know if I was up.
We had been talking more recently, and it left me suspicious that maybe something was going wrong with her engagement. Anyways, I was asleep. I send a reply the next morning that goes unanswered.
Via MySpace status updates, I piece together some kind of ‘crisis’ Saturday between her and her man… realize that she’s actually in Dallas… and that everything was resolved an hour or so after she sent me the text.
The last update reads something along the lines of ‘I made the right decision’. I send a text reading ‘Drama?’ that also goes unanswered.
I got sandwiched in between her last break-up and her current relationship. ‘Rebound’ guy, I was… And now my purpose has been vindicated.
So, do I shut her completely off? Play dumb and stand-by for an affair?
I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting a wedding invitation phone call after all of this silence plays out for a few weeks.

I would do it again, but I have a feeling she thinks that I still have feelings for her.
That, or she’s having some serious second-thoughts about a) settling down or b) settling down with him…

We just got home
that storm was CRAZY. I guess it looked bad because about three different people texted me to see if we were OK. We stayed on the club level when it first blew in, because you could actually SEE the edge of it come in. Then we moved down to the lower concourse and hung around until about 8:35 or so, when we finally called it a night (have to work tomorrow). Right as we were leaving the parking lot they said on 105.3 that they’d just announced in the pressbox the game was PPD.
Also, thanks Black Francis – when there’s a delay I usually check out the GDT on my phone because somehow you all have way more information than I can find anywhere else. Thanks to you I knew what was happening at home, though I saw both the Volvos that never move in the back lot, so I knew that was BS :)

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."
