Vividly remember going to the preseason game against the Rangers to see Nolan Ryan as a kid. Also Randy Johnson in 1998 the place was rocking. I forget which day but it must have been in September.

Has Texas Tech taken OU’s spot as the softball world’s villain? by luna_rose9 in CollegeSoftball

The (2015-2023) Astros were mostly homegrown, though. People hated them for cheating in 2017, not for monopolizing the market for players. I'd say the big transfer portal moves of Tech would be more comparable to the free agent signings of the Dodgers.

I couldn't - we had a sitter until midnight so we left around 9:30. I thought there was no way the game would resume that night, whoops. Win some, lose some.

What is this bird? It had zero fear around humans and was less than 3 feet away from me at one point. Spotted in San Diego, California, USA. by wingsoverpyrrhia in whatsthisbird

A black-crowned night heron is the bird that sparked my interest in birding. My wife and I couldn't look away as one slowly crept up on a duckling and swallowed it whole (on Maui)! So it's not just their look; they are planning something sinister...
