Jordan has to wrestle with this issue all the time.

It’s high school band marching season in Ohio starting tonight (and they let the football team play at some of their performances, too). My oldest is a starting clarinetist. Can’t wait to see them entering the football field tonight.

To be fair, I'm not far off that and I haven't gotten a hit in about 19 years

Just some kid from Woostah

Boxers. Nothing else needs to be said.

no. They're a bunch of pansies.

I prefer presidents with CFOs that aren't guilty on 15 counts.

@Hongbit

These guys are so great.

What a pathetic group of humans.

Looking on the bright side, they're only 19 1/2 games out of a Wild Cards lot and it is just August...........

My eldest is a clarinet player too. Was thinking CM or Romad may have seen him in DC with the Marine Band.

I had a boxer - adopted her at 8 yrs old, but they are “puppy-like” always. 😂 So funny… and nutty.

Erod up, Peralta let go.

can we all pitch in and get cade a better pair of shorts?

Love our European scouts' work the last few drafts.

For those keeping track. The stupid excuse of the day.

They're thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana

one of my favorites was at Sault Ste Marie. We had come up to take the Algoma scenic tour train and were staying on the US side but were going to the Canadian side for dinner. My wife and MIL were with me and - as though I had never crossed a border before, were adamant that I must not say anything the agent except the exact answer to his questions. So first question was "where are you from" --- answer 'Ann Arbor' next "why are you going to Canada" --- answer 'Dinner' That got an interesting look in return. Of course this was all before 9/11 when things were pretty loose.

Kari Lake doesn't belong anywhere near an executive position for any organization at any level.

I think they didn't get too harsh because they knew other teams were doing the same thing. They wanted to use the Astros as an example because it became public. Also, they didn't want to have to punish the Yankees or Red Sox. I agree with you that how Hinch handled the situation does not reflect well on him as a manager.

My best customs exchange was with a very friendly and attractive customs person. Customs: "What are you doing in Canada?" Me:"I am going to an Expos game" Customs: "Who are they playing?" Me: "Detroit Tigers" Customs: "Who is going to win?" Me:"Tigers" Customs:"Of course you think that. I think you are wrong, but have a good trip" That was in 2002. They used not to worry much about Americans visiting Canada. Getting back into the US was more difficult.

Damn near looks like a Pistons practice at Rico Hines. Bottom pic is Cade guarding Steph. Rico Hines runs the best pickup games for NBA players in the summer. Strictly NBA players. A lot of players from all teams there and you normally play with your teammates. Which is why everyone has on Pistons gear.

I made my first round of donations. Donated to Marlinga, Scholten, Slotkin, Kilde, Mandela Barnes and Tim Ryan. I passed on Whitmer, Benson, Nessel, Fetterman and Kelly for now since they are well funded and the Republicans are dumping a lot of money in Ohio now.

That was the point of my comment. We judge managers based on their W/L records even though it's the players that determine the outcome. Hinch's reputation is solely based on how well he did in Houston. Take that away and just focus on what he has done in Arizona and Detroit. Would you believe he was capable of winning 100 games? Take a look at Torre's career. Would you believe he could win a bunch of World Series before going to New York? Managers are the most overrated part of the team and easily the most replaceable. Get a guy in there who isn't entirely incompetent and they'll win if you give them the talent.

a case of localized lead poisoning maybe....

TWO YEARS AGO: "Goddamned IRS doesn't have enough people and I have to wait for my tax return.........I might not get it until JUNE ! TODAY: Look at all these IRS agents they hired. They're coming after us !!!!!!!!!

LOL - I've heard you used to be able to get a ticket on the FLA turnpike if you made it from entry to exit too soon, but never had it confirmed. Maybe they just put that out there to persuade people to make a rest area stop and spend some money.... I spent a couple of years with company car with a speed monitor in it - totally terrible experience esp - in Mi where speed limits are posted just be abused. Initially we got around it by going through the speedometer re-cal procedure and setting with an offset so the thing thought you were going 10 mph less. Once the company figured that out I turned in the company car and took an allowance to drive my own - monitor free.

All our dogs had lost some or all of their hearing at the end but still saw pretty well. We are dog sitting for a friend this week and her elderly mostly lab still hears a pin drop but can't tell if a screen door is open. You sort of have to be prepared for anything as a dog ages.

Great Dad. Not so great catcher.

Traitor 😊

2nd Erie game a 1-0 shutout win for the Wolves. Wolf with 5 IP 2H 2BB 5K. Meadows with a triple, scored the games only run. Toledo scores 9. Torkelson 3/5 2B BB 2K, 370 OBP for August (and finally breaks over the Mendoza line). Kreidler 1/4 2B 2BB

Stomp on the floor a couple of times or smack the wall. I had a dog go mostly deaf but he sensed that.

They are also some of the biggest A-H drivers in the state.

Dude, it is so awesome to watch two really good teams. 👍 The crowd is really into it too...a fair amount of Mets fans too. Great atmosphere!

Damn wish I was at that game sabre, should be a good one!

look, whatever we get out of okudah is gravy. dude hasnt played for a year and was bad when he did play. i still expect cb to be high on the draft list next year.

They need to also continue to hit Russia on Russian territory... like this. Lots and lots of sabotage... Crimea taking hits is awesome.... But also, take out bridges, railways, ammo and fuel depots on Russian territory... Both give incentive for Putin to back the fuck off.

Kids come up and can't even hit the cutoff man but can flip the bat all over the place. In my day, we hit the cutoff man and we liked it!

This is less honorable, more sticking to the plan because you don't want to risk penalties from blowing up the bonus pool. If you had a deal with Madden too, that goes to hell if you draft somebody you don't have a number on.
