Last year of the contract. Better late than never, I guess?

Never was a SP. Hardly a multi inning RP. Has only 2 pitches. I doubt that’s material for a team to try to push a RP into a SP role. I guess I can see a team thinking they can try it. But multiple teams with the same cockamamie theory? Sorry, I don’t see it. Seth Lugo has some SP outings earlier in his career and also had 4 or more pitches. So seeing his success in San Diego and then again in Kansas City wasn’t too surprising. Not necessarily expected, but more reasonable given his history and skill set.

You’re wrong. True, Texas prefers meat soup rather than chili. Crock pots are terrible for chili? Did you turn the crock pot on? See, my bottom line was right.

Phillips was awesome. I really liked his versatility and his on base skills. Lee is right, he was probably ahead of his time in that regard.

How about some Thanksgiving Eve surfing on Lake Erie, dudes?

Valid point.

I have a sibling that lives with my remaining parent. He can deal with it.

That’s no fun.

Do you mean in 2026? I think we all assume there’s going to be decline in the long term deal. But, yeah, you’re right. Everyone assumes Cy Young type performance in this upcoming season, nobody thinks otherwise. So, to that point, how bad of a 2026 would it have to be in order to shift expectations on that long term deal?

That’s kind of fun. Is Texas interested in any of Detroit’s 14 different 2B options? Maybe some pitching for Keith?

I don’t understand how people can watch live sports on a phone. I guess if there’s not another option, you do what you gotta do.

OK, OK, if you prefer, we can call it a bill of materials.

Looks like he’s actually playing per the live box score. Or do the Clippers have all of the Leonards like the Bucks have all the Antetokounmpos?

I just gave you a chili recipe. You’re welcome.

Lazy.

I’ve done the Carroll Shelby mix before. I usually use Wick Fowler’s 2 Alarm Chili Spice mix. The spice mix is just one variable. 1 lb ground beef, browned 1 lb ground sausage, browned 1 lb frozen fajita vegetable mix 1 15 oz can each of black beans, dark red kidney beans, and light red kidney beans, all drained 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes 1 small can Rotel diced tomatoes and jalapeños 1 bottle of tomato juice Get it all in the crock pot by 11am and dinner is set. That’s what I do. I suspect chili is a lot like religion and politics for most people. They like what they like and it’s hard to sway people from their preference.

Leaves on the driveway. Rake or broom?

Yes, I prefer tandems of Stewart with Harris and Duren with Holland. It doesn’t have to be that all of the time. And I think now with all of the healthy bodies, it’s time to mix and match and see what different combinations can do.

Just enjoy the ride.

What about Sasquatch?

Bill Laimbeer dragged his unathletic ass up and down the court every damn regular season game. Over 80 games played per season for 12 straight years. So I don't want to hear load management.

Sabermathmetrics? Check. Old guy injuries? Check. What's next on the list, chili recipes or cat pictures?

A bench of McKinstry, Baez, Cruz, and a C. Hinch is like a kid on Christmas Eve right now.

Quiet, Piggy.

Do you mean who can/would offer more in a trade for Markkanen or who (trade target) can/would offer more games played over the next 3 1/2 years?
