That’s unfortunate. Did you see the gymnast throw out the first pitch before the Yankees at Rangers last night. That was impressive.

Sadly I missed that! I feel the Rangers were just jealous that we, the best team in Texas, had the best Olympic gymnast ever Simone Biles throw out a first pitch last week!

Hard to argue the Astros are the best team in Texas. I mean the Rangers got incredibly hot at the right time last year and ended up winning it all. They have some nice pieces but don't seem like a complete team.

Reminds me of Eli leading the Giants to I think it was the first Super Bowl win over the undefeated Pats... could have been the second but they started off I want to say like 1-4 or something and had to practically win out to eek in as the second wild card team

Oof. This is up there with Wade Boggs getting hurt taking his boots off or Tom Glavine breaking his ribs throwing up from food poisoning.

Yeah, that feels like an injury a catcher should get (tools of ignorance, etc).

Hadn't heard of that Glavine one. That sounds very unpleasant.

It was early in his career, back in 1992. Of course, he also had that cab accident at the end of his career when he played for the Mets. Never a boring guy.
