  1. The thing with that math though is there is overlap among those infected and vaccinated. How much overlap? Who knows.
  2. 1989 was the summer before I got my drivers license. I was 15 and past the point of “going out and playing”, we did more of our stuff later in the day by then. Usually just hanging out at someone’s house. I spent a lot of time that summer home during the day and watching the Cubs. When they won the division I felt like a Cubs fan. It was neat.
  3. It’s a racket. The candidates are trading fame. It’s make work. The point is to raise the 9 so you can pay the 8. Those people get cushy consulting gigs. Nobody cares. The fame of the candidate is used to raise money. It’s a ruse and they all are in on it. The politician is like a child actor where all the adults are getting rich.
  4. I will probably always wear one to the grocery store. Any place I am strolling and touching things. As much to avoid colds and flus as covid.
  5. I can still hear Skip Carey say the name “Jeff Blauser”.
  6. JD with a grand slam in the first.
  7. I have absolutely no problem wearing one if asked or required. None. At the hockey game we were pretty much walking around or sitting in our seats, nobody really around us. I had a beer so I wasn’t going to put it on and take it off all the time. My point was I guess it’s more of a peer pressure thing. If nobody else is going to wear them then I won’t.
  8. When it comes to masks I’m getting to the point where I will go with the flow. At the hockey game we had ours but didn’t wear them. We went to Henry Ford Museum this morning and had them but it was nearly empty and nobody but staff had them on. As we started to leave we noticed more people with them on in the long hallway so I put mine on. Dropped wife at target and after a few minutes I went in and out mine on. Went to a wedding tonight in a giant tent. Not one mask. big test will be next month going to a concert at the magestic. They are requiring proof of vaccination. I’ll just go with the flow.
  9. I think we are in the endgame. I’m not sure any restrictions in place now are really hurting anything other than international travel.
  10. I went to the hockey game last night. I’d say 97% of people didn’t have masks on. It was listed as a sellout.
  11. I was at the game and haven’t felt that much energy there for a game ever. Larkin probably gets suspended for that.
  12. So your litmus test on whether something is credible or not is dependent upon feelings towards Trump. That’s interesting because my litmus test on intelligence is their feelings towards Trump.
  13. I don't think managers by themselves can suspend players.
  14. I loved Peter Greene's callback in The Usual Suspect when he meets the guys and throws the bad coke back at them and says "Feed it to the gimp"
  15. Tony LaRussa can… well… bite the big one to be diplomatic
  16. My predictions are shot. If ATL holds on then I only have two teams left, Astros and Giants and I picked Milwaukee over TB in the WS. might place some bets hereafter. Wonder if I should use betrivers?
  17. I’m a big fan of AJ Pierzynski’s work in the booth. He brings good insight.
  18. Superman, Jon Kent, being bisexual, is the type of trolling I enjoy. I love seeing mid 50's white men get their shit stained tighty whitey's in a bunch.
  19. The president treated a health crisis as if it were a financial crisis without realizing the financial piece would never resolve itself until the health piece did. His idiocy with conspiracy theories and not using his bully pulpit to reign in the crackpots killed people and made a whole lot more sicker.
  20. Trump didn’t do shit for the vaccine’s development.
  21. I also remember TFG making fun of people, including Biden, wearing masks. I also remember him making secret service guys drive him around in a car when he had COVID.
  22. "Anyone know of a good contractor that's good but cheap?"
