Just so you will know, Bayou Pawn is NOT A CHESS club in Houston,Texas. It is a PAWN SHOP! Maybe the owners know that the mere name pawn shop conjures up images of buildings with steel barred windows and exorbitant, if not illegally high, interest rates. The picture of this place, that only the most financially desperate of us will ever patronize, states this pawn shop will ALWAYS loan the most! So does this mean that if you walk in with a guitar, drum set, expensive jewelry or even  Beanie Babies and Cabbage Patch Kids, that they will give you the most cash for these items?  Maybe so, but this gyp joint will probably charge you 30% per month which equates to 360 per cent a year!!!! So if you leave them with your $1600 autographed Hank Henry Aaron baseball card, you will owe this principled South East Texas lender $480 in 30 days!!! Super Sexy Megan Elliott can tell you more about the dirty tricks these lending establishments will try on you. She actually wrot...

As much as Jose Altuve has meant to the Astros franchise, he just choked big time on the most important  at bat of the 2019 season. Josh was at third base on his single and a George Springer double. Altuve steps to the plate with only one out in the inning and feebly strikes out on pitch that almost hit home plate. Either Jose did not recognize the pitch out of Strasburg's hand or selfishly swung at an offering WAY OUT OF THE STRIKE ZONE!!! Also Verlander is being way too careful when he gets a batter 0-2 in the pitch count. I know the Nats are one helluva World Series team, but Justin has become alarmingly predictable when ahead in the count throwing pitches way out of the zone and running up his pitch count! Congrats to Jordan for breaking out of his miserable batting slump against the Yankees.
