My wife has put a bounty on the squirrels that are knocking the seed out of the bird feeder. Pretty sure for each one I kill, I get a bj or something.

weren’t you talking about getting a .22? you ever make a move on that? since I got my air rifle a year and a half or so ago, I’ve taken down 13 squirells in my back yard.

No. I hope this wasn’t a serious question.

I hope you weren’t seriously asking if that was a serious question.

Yes he is. Still like him more than Kaz Matsui and Bill Hall though.

I haven only been catching about 2 Astros games a week right now, and only parts of those games. I’m still spending most of my spare time working on my graduate thesis–only 20 pages to go!–though I am going to see Robert Earl Keen at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth tomorrow.

As for Lowrie, he’s definitely an upgrade from Tommy Manzella and Clint Barmes. I like his potential. I’m liking the youth on this Astros team and it will only get younger after this season when Lee departs and by which time we will probably have gotten rid of Brett Myers.

Are you implying that Twitter is imperative to life?

No. I hope this wasn’t a serious question.

I’ve been meaning to find you and see what you think about Lowrie.

If the Houston talk shows are any indication, the locals are ecstatic about his play.

Lowrie

Stay healthy. He’s been fine since he started playing this year. Gets a day off every 10 days it seems. He might be the Astros best hitter right now if it wasn’t for Jose Altuve… who is on his way back to Earth.

It’s pretty democratic. Twitter is our generation’s newspaper.

I like Twitter, but I really limit how many I follow, and use it mostly as an RSS-type feed, to interact with all you, or to follow RedSox games I can’t watch. Guys like Prisco and Pete Abraham that troll or engage too much just aren’t worth my time.

I just have to be careful not to get into ‘editor’ mode, like I did with Joe Lemire (whom I actually like) with his column the other day. It’s very easy to be really critical, and provide instant feedback to people who don’t really care whether you liked what they wrote.

Can lead a horse to water, I suppose. To each their own

hope none of you end up like this

the manufacturer with the shirt that just says “BONG” is a genius.

My neighbors always asked while my boys don’t mow.

1. I need the exercise
2. They suck at mowing
3. You neighbors pay them to suck at mowing – I don’t want to hinder that gig

I’m about halfway through last night’s comments and I have to say that I’m glad I don’t bother with Twitter.

I’ve been meaning to find you and see what you think about Lowrie. I miss having him around. The book was pretty clear on him, IMO. He’s a professional hitter who will hit .285/.360 OBP, make good contact, and have good at bats, and provide a little bit of pop (he seemed to have a knack for getting runners in or advancing them when he was in Boston, even if you all hate RBI). Can play any position in the infield (albeit not always flawlessly), but can’t stay healthy, which takes away from his value. He’ll make a great utility infielder/PH, where he isn’t counted on to play every day.

It’s pretty democratic. Twitter is our generation’s newspaper. When I wake up in the morning I take my shower, brew my coffee and then open up Twitter on my walk to work.

Lots of misconceptions about Twitter. It is what you make it. Your timeline is constructed by you. You can follow and unfollow feeds at your leisure. It is, without a doubt, the fastest way to get information. And it’s completely customizable.

No thanks.

With a spare tire?
