[Aggies7]

Telling ya, 100 losses is certainly still on the table.

[LaBombo]

Twins' second half mojo running out of gas before our eyes...

Good lord.

[jimmer]

I believe our announcers are mis-remembering the quality of Trammell's defense.

Breaking: NASA exploring for new headquarters location. Sees Minneapolis as a great fit!

Well that was a fun game while it lasted.

[Vanimal46]

Light debut. Let's see the heater.

[LaBombo]

Lots of baseball left, no way to know how this one turns out...

Off the Bone Barbecue... The brisket is great (ask for burnt ends) and their sausage is very good as well.

 

I will... at your suggestion

[Platoon]

Well at least the defense seems to have improved, although that woman in the 13th row of the RF stands did not take a good route to that last HR.

All of this hype that Light is a high 90s can touch 100 kind of guy... all we saw was 93-95. Still a good inning.

My great grandma can touch 100. Now, keeping a downward plane, though... that's a whole other thing.

He just needs a good meal like 1980's cafeteria pizza and he will be touching 100 regularly.

Yeah in downtown Dallas. After that he could go check out the grassy knoll!

I like Lockhart Smokehouse and the Slow Bone in Dallas.  Haven't tried Off the Bone.  My next time in Dallas though.

You can't go wrong with most BBQ places here unless you go with a chain.. and really, what are you doing in Texas if you're going to a Famous Daves?

Famous Dave's...only in desperate times...maybe not even then.

Also, ask around for the best breakfast tacos to find.

 

The best places have homemade tortillas.

 

Good luck eating just one taco.

And yet my 75 year old mothers loves Famous Daves.  Guessing it's because she spent 50 or so years in Cali where there is no BBQ ;-)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

8-3?!

 

What have you done with this game?

 

Safe driving, RB!

Enjoy the bbq!

 

Strangely enough, first time i was in Dallas, i watched Fargo and was homesick...

That just went on my list

[Riverbrian]

I've been watching and packing. 

 

I gotta say that my Packing isn't behind 8-3 so I'm enjoying the packing a little more.

VMart was practically left for dead in some parts with his fruitless age 37 season last year, and yet after tonight he's right back to just about.300/.350/.500. He's not a HOFer, but I suspect that if he'd spent his entire career with a single team in a 'baseball town' like NYC or STL he would get some mention when he retires.
