****Official Texas Baseball Alumni Game Thread****

[joeywa]

Feel free to discuss among yourselves.  I'll be back to this thread in a bit.  Got some errands to run first. 

Game time 3:30 PM CT

I don't have any lineup yet, and not sure I will before game time.

Should be a great day!   Game will be live on the LHN. 

 

[Johnstark23]

I have to spend the afternoon with 10, 7 year old girls and with all apologies to our own echeese, a big gray rat. I'm counting on you joeywa. In a big way.

 

[joeywa]

I'll be here John. As we speak I'm preparing a brisket tortilla wrap and got me a drink from Sonic.

 

[joeywa]

Oh, and thoughts & prayers to you in hopes that you survive the fiasco of the pizza party. We've all been there.
