Worlds Colliding

Ripping off other blogs is not a good way for SLAE to make a name for itself, but when the world of Longhorns and the world of Dodger blue collide, a blog post must be created. It is mandatory. See the following:

Kyle Russell is now just toying with the Midwest League. Over the past week he's moved to the top of the leaderboard in slug(.679), OPS(1.087), and wOBA (.451). Six home runs so far in May suggest he's ready for the next step up. He was already old for this league so let us see what he can do at the next level.

Light the Tower Orange

Something that should never go unacknowledged on SLAE! Way to fight back, Horns! Let's carry the momentum to Omaha!

Did I Actually Say Something About Ships Righting?


Happy Mothers Day! A sports day only a mother could love...at least for my teams (though nice sweep from the 'Stros, who again appear determined to embark on their annual "give hope to Houston fans without really any chance at winning the division" campaign).
What a shocking, embarrassing performance from the Lakers. My old rec league team Hebrew National could have beaten the Lakers yesterday. I am even more disturbed by the quotes I read in the L.A. Times this morning. The Lakers didn't seem embarrassed, distraught, shocked. I am astonished. Its like "we got beat by the Rockets JV team. Ho hum. Bring on the Cavs." What in the name of Pat Reilly is going on over there Phil?
And then...AND THEN!!...the Dodgers blow a 2 run lead in the 8th, and lose in extra innings to the Hated Ones. They fall to 1-3 post-Manny and embark on a road trip to the Phillies and Marlins. Ugh. At least Juan Pierre is producing for David in the Georgetown league.
On second thought, is there room on that Astros bandwagon?
