Funky Grass/Weed mixed in with St. Augustine Lawn

Please see the picture that is attached. I once had a lawn guy tell me there was nothing that could be done about the funky prickly type of grass on the left side of the picture. I can't remember if he said it was a type of grass or a type of weed. It's only growing amongst the St Augustine grass on one side of the house. Any thoughts on what it is and how to get rid of it? Thanks in advance.

Here are a few more pictures. The bothersome "grass" has very short prickly blades and the St. Augustine has of course, long stout blades. If this turns out to be Zoysia invading the St. Augustine grass, what would be the best plan of action? I was hoping the summer heat would allow the St. Augustine grass to overtake it, but that doesn't appear to be happening. Thanks.
