Houston has one of those, Luis Garcia! He’s pitching against Gruntz Greinke tonight.

Ok guys, I’m struggling a little today! I smoked for almost 16 years(disgusting habit) but quit cigs and started vaping (5 years now) I took my last hit of nicotine, Saturday at 3:00! I am fiending today like Tyrone Biggums and I’ve probably gained 15 lbs since Saturday, because all I’ve wanted to do is eat!!
I’ve chewed on a straw so much today that my jaws are hurting!
Any suggestions?

Twinkies…

I have an answer but you'd probably brush it off. I smoked for 30 years & I'm free from it.
Smoke free for 28 years now.

Greinke throws a low fities guaranteed eephus…occasionally. I’m watching for it tonight against Yordan.

Twinkies…

That's not gonna help .... he said he's already gain enough lbs.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Strange at best. Looks like he has to pee really bad or something b4 throwing.

I was thinking Shoney’s needed a new model…

Congratulations.
It’s hard, you have actually passed the hardest part, the first 24 hours.

One thing that worked for me when I quit was this.

Get a pack of matches.
Sit down.
Hold a match but don’t light it yet.
Now take 10 deep breaths.
Hold the last breath in and light the match.
Now very slowly blow out the match.

This does a couple of things…
Gets your mind off of things and is relaxing
Gives you the sensation of exhaling when you see the smoke from the match slowly going out.

Those po boy statues are heavy.

Ever tried to find a serious roast beef with gravy and cheese Nawlins style po boy outside of the four southern most LA parishes?

Never thought about it .... but nope.

Let’s hear it!

Let’s hear it!

I had to ask God for help with my smoking habit. It was something that I thought I would go to my grave with. His power & grace can not be overcome by a physical world.

Thanks, but I’m on my way to New Orleans to get a po boy!
Seriously, that actually sounds therapeutic, I’ll give it a shot! Thanks!!

Me too bud. Nicotine is a very nasty drug!

Ahuna made the 26-man roster. Skenes did, too. Drew Beam did not.

Sucks that Drew Beam didn’t make the cut. It’s would be an honor to play for Team USA.

Some golfers have weird, spastic pre-shot routines. If this guy does that before every pitch, even if he were on my team, I'd boo and throw chit at him.

So let's convince Skenes that he's taking Beam's spot. I'd LOVE to have a 4th starter for the weekends.

Before. Every. Single. Pitch!
