Hang in there. You need to give time for the Sixers to make you feel this way, too.

The 2026 Houston #Astros can’t hurt me any more.

🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Fire Espada tonight, #Astros. The number of terrible decisions in just the past half inning is enough, not to mention the past week.

Really, nobody has had it worse than us.

Feel your pain, and wish you the best through this all. Where I teach, my cello studio is right underneath our concert hall, which is about to undergo a very long and extensive renovation in the next couple of years. Going to make for interesting interpretations of the Bach Suites…

When I die, I think my office would make an outstanding little faculty speakeasy, FWIW.

You should see Twitter (which I still look at because it’s better for baseball). What a pit of despair that place is!

So many holes, and just not enough trading capital to get what they would need. I so wish they would just sell and try to be good again in 2028.

#Astros, please be sellers. This isn’t going to get any better.

I don’t recall getting an attendance award since, um, like 6th grade.

The word “soul” would be doing some real heavy lifting there.

Yep. Baffling that they insist on being buyers. They’ll mortgage the next ten years to get a bat and a pitcher and still miss the playoffs.

Add a couple zeroes and you might be able to get a ticket to a game.

Just wondering, for no reason whatsoever, if the Gestapo was hanging out in Berlin during the 1936 Olympics.

It’s a jarring shift from just 7 years ago, when we were doing open rank Tenure/Tenure-track positions. Almost every job listing (outside of California) I’m seeing these days is non-TT or temporary.

That is rather an embarrassment for my fine city, but there is also quite a fine Malaysian restaurant in that same strip mall, at least.

Is “abomination” too strong a word for #Astros pitching? No, it is not.

I remember that discourse. I was a fan of Studio 60 at the time, and felt it was a shame that it didn’t last.

I fear the only thing that could be worse for my #Astros right now would be if they fired Joe Espada and replaced him with JD Vance.

Larry Stomberg @larrystomberg.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
The #Astros are doing performance art at this point, right? It certainly isn’t baseball.

Thank you for this. I admit I did not realize this was the proper term to use, and apologize to Iranians I know to whom a mentioned Farsi as the language instead of Persian.

Sending thoughts and prayers to @chandlerrome.bsky.social for having to cover this for the entire season. #Astros

Larry Stomberg @larrystomberg.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
Yeah, afraid my pessimistic outlook for the #Astros before the season started has turned out to be a little too rosy. Gonna be a painful summer ahead.

Sorry I missed you! (ended up being near the start of the line of the march, and had to get home for some work stuff after that)

Yet they cheered and cheered for him. The Delaware Way, you know.

He looks even shorter from far away.

I imagine Joe Espada and Dana Brown are running their resumes through ChatGPT to make them look better for when they’re let go later this year. #Astros

Trying so hard not to overreact to the first two games of the season. Not succeeding. #astros

I have not seen a better encapsulation of America’s decline than this Netflix Opening Day broadcast.

Reserve judgment until you see a replay of the Kid Rock “we’re afraid of Spanish” show.

I think even Obama might agree with you on that one.

I think “muddle instead of music” might be in a review of mine somewhere.

Seen on a walk in Las Cruces, NM, this morning. Seems about right.

Well, with the place to yourself, you can probably catch up some reading and writing, in between outsmarting robbers.
