Under a Killing Moon Thrice

Bitcoin doesn’t exist in my world. Thanks for the tip though. 😉

I subscribed to Barron’s years ago. Their advice for investments ranks right up there with the MarketWatch hype in my opinion. Using the words, “Nightmare” and “Terrifying” in the heading scream, Clickbait! The writers at most of these financial sites are no more knowledgeable about the market than their audience but they’re more than willing to advise you on how to invest and react to news.

For the first time since I retired in 2017, I let last month’s distributions from one of our funds run off to a cash account rather than reinvest the money which I’d done all along. The money is still in my IRA. I’m primarily invested for dividends. With this pullback I’m seriously looking at putting this cash back into my funds. If so, averaging in. We’ll see how the market plays out. Additionally, this entire tariff fiasco may be scrapped next week. Who knows!

The DOW is down @1300 hundred points right now. Long term, any buyers out there?

I don’t even open those survey links anymore. One of the first questions that they ask is your age. Being a realist, I know they don’t give a **** what a 70 year old fan thinks.

You know, I really hadn’t thought of that. But now that you bring it up, that’ a very legitimate concern.

They both need to be with Erie when they visit Richmond the week of May 13th.

Additionally, there is a press conference scheduled for 10:00 EDT this morning where Scott Harris will announce the trade he engineered with the SF Giants. The Verlander for Cobb is a done deal.

Carson Kelly hit for the cycle in the Cub’s game.

Blowing game two in the bottom of the 10th is on the Tigers. It wasn’t the schedule makers or the payrolls. You have a two run lead and give up five runs while recording one out, it’s on you. Had Brieske closed that inning clean the trip into LA would be considered a success.

Tork Bomb!

The Rays placed Faedo on the 15 day IL with right shoulder inflammation.

I saw somewhere that it’s Flaherty followed by Olson.

Comeback Player of the Year: Riley Unroe Book it!

Javy Mays

Save some for Chavez Ravine, please.

Beautiful ballpark.

A cry for help.

Enjoy your trip young man and be safe!

Al Avila addressed that in the video link above.

I’d be very surprised if expectations were otherwise.

As of August 2022, the Major League Baseball Players Association welcomed affiliated Minor League Baseball Players into our player fraternity. This historic step means that the MLBPA is now the sole collective bargaining representative for the 5,500 Minor League players at AAA, AA, High-A, Low-A, and Complex League levels. So, I pose this question again to anyone here that may know the answer…Does, or would, a 2027 lockout include minor league players? I’m fully expecting a lockout. I would hate to learn MiLB would shut down as well.
