HISD Takedown

Our top pitching prospect Forrest Whitley was on the mound last night at The Yard. He was out first round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft. He is also from San Antonio. What high school did he attend?

They are here. TEA says HISD can’t hire or search for a superintendent. TEA shut down HISD’s search and that’s the end of that. My goodness. A Trustee is fighting back sort of. Check this from the Chron:

“It just undermines everything we’ve been working so hard to accomplish for the sake of our students and our district,” HISD Trustee Sergio Lira said. “I think that it’s getting to the point of ‘let’s not play games.’ (If you are going to) take us over, take us over now. Don’t give us these last-minute surprises.”

I don’t know what to say. We have a racially divided HISD Board of Education. How did it get to this?

State Senator Carol Alvarado did a great job of honoring and recognizing the Astros yesterday on their 2017 World Series Championship. She gave personal props to Jeff Luhnow, Reid Ryan, Will Harris, Tony Kemp and Jake Marisnick. (She posted a cool picture of her speaking with the five looking on.) She quoted Skipper A. J. Hinch on Hurricane Harvey. She mentioned #HoustonStrong. She also talked about how the team was loaded and ready to #TakeItBack this season. Sen. Alvarado certainly knows Astros baseball and what the team means to the community. Nice job. Plus, all the Senators got a ring. Yep, they are still handing them out.

Forrest Whitley attended Alamo Heights High School of course.

$12.50 for a Saint Arnold last night up from $11.25 last season. They come in a souvenir cup but they were still using #NeverSettle and 2017 World Series Championship cups.

I don’t understand why they had the roof closed last night. Oh, well.
