8/26 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Giants (Peavy), 9:15, CSN

[Sammys Boombox]

i actually drove through oklahoma on my way to the west coast

 

was not pleased with the surprise turnpike/tollway, but their reststop oasis things were like the nicest rest areas i've ever seen

The one thing I miss most about Tulsa are QuikTrips.

 

is that what they were called?

 

it was like this really upscale looking (for what it is) building with escalators and a bunch of food options and pretty nice and clean bathrooms

 

What part of the state was this

 

maybe 30-45 minutes west of the state line on 44?

 

The McDonalds that goes over the Interstate? That place was once nice and is now a dump.

Ah, just saw. I must have been there right before they closed the old one and rebuilt it. Didn't realize they had done that

And... the hand wringing over a slow start from Hendricks is once again over the top, from several posters that have been waiting on pins and needles for the first sign of distress, so they can lose their damn minds.

[Cubswin11]

Bryant may have figured out this whole contact issue thing

[Smack]

Cubs game thread or Oklahoma rest area thread? lol

[Careless]

Has this ump missed a call yet?

[Careless]

I mean, I bash umps a lot, but I don't think I do it unfairly, and this has been really good from what I've seen

[Aaron_Kennelly]

sontensei was right again; no home runs for Bryant in San Fran because the wind isn't blowing out!

[CubInOK]

QuikTrip is a gas station chain not to be confused with KwikTrip. Idk if they are in the rest stops in Oklahoma or not. I didn't think they were the last time I drove through a couple of years ago.

QuikTrips are on like every other street corner and they are the best gas stations ever.

[NotSoSober]

this umpire is just guessing

[imb]

[philosophizer75]

I don't think that was strike three.

I don't think that was strike three.

Ball 1 from Hendricks was in pretty much the same location.

[Sammys Boombox]

Len just said Oklahoma. We should talk more about Oklahoma
