  1. What happened to Rudy?
  2. I’d like to see 96 wins. Tops any year since ‘87.
  3. They don’t know how to dictionary down in the sticks. They just go by whatever pedo pastor Bob tells them.
  4. Seriously Christian victimhood is so overblown and tiring. You’d think it’s illegal or something. When I see people doing that I immediately assume they are both not a real Christian and cowards.
  5. They can’t walk into a Chick Fil A without packing. Never know when a brown person might be around.
  6. The only joke here is you.
  7. I understand. And I’m sure I am having a bias because like you say, with some guys it can be thought of as an obviously you go situation. what I have to remember is the calculation isn’t a direct one. It isn’t safe vs outs on throws home. You can count some safe runners evenwhen no throw was made
  8. It wasn’t a fight but I remember Craig Monroe hit a big home run, maybe a grand slam, and when he got to the plate to celebrate with the others AJ stood right behind was the plate after Craig touched the home. The players were hugging and stuff and someone bumped into AJ and got mad. AJ being AJ he was a jerk to the point of still having plausible deniability. “What? I am just standing here where the catcher stands…” I aways liked him.
  9. I do recall him saying that. I don’t believe it. But I’m also not a know it all. If I am wrong so be it.
  10. The ****ing run on contact play has been a thing since Lamont. Why? I’ve never seen it work and other teams don’t do it as often.
  11. We have a broken system of government and a media with an unstable business model. There’s nothing to hold either institution accountable at this stage in our history. What we have leaned in 9 years is “so what? What are you going to do about it?” is an effective answer now when someone does something wrong and is told they did something wrong
  12. I'm back in the office 3-4 days a week now and because of how we're set up I don't look at the internet as much as I used to... that has helped me. But it's also a kind of ignorance of the worst kind. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't make it go away. But there's really nothing I can do about it either. I vote. I donate. I tell others. But I can't vote for them and their minds won't be changed. It's akin to wearing a ribbon to fight breast cancer.
  13. They should do a Curb revival and treat Cheryl Hines like they did OJ in the new Naked Gun.
  14. My wife is not reactionary and in the medical field with old peoole. She thinks he has congestive heart failure.
  15. They can fix him like the Braves fixed Robbie Grossman.
  16. Yep. The Twins in 2009 won a tiebreaker. In that situation they played a game. Now they do not play a game but use another method. In both cases whoever wins the tiebreaker wins the division. As a Tiger fan on the losing side in that game in 2009 it wouldn't make me feel any better if the Twins had won their tie breaker via a formula vs a game.
  17. When I was working from home full time west coast games didn't bother me at all. I liked them as the house was quiet. Now that I have to drive 20 minutes (oh poor me!) into an office to put on my headset and talk to folks around the world from there rather than my home office it is a bit of a bummer.
  18. I suspected when they made the changes earlier this year and the vagueness of his status that he is on some kind of contract/game by game basis. They will call him when they need him.
  19. The atmosphere last night was on par with playoffs. Best I’ve seen this year.
  20. I don’t know what the word “hurt” means at this point with regard to him and his presidency. They don’t care about legacy. They have the house and senate. The GOP won’t push back on him. What difference does his approval rating mean?
  21. He's the useful idiot for all the others to run rough shed. He doesn't care what they do. As long as his family gets their billions. He's just a figure head and rubber stamp. It's play time for the quacks and there will be real consequences for this nation.
  22. The Avs have no defense and are soft and we own Patrick Roy... bring 'em on.
  23. My advice after 40 years of being a big enough fan to care about such things.... don't root for or against any team in the playoffs in terms of a matchup. You will get burned.
  24. I watched 15 minutes of the first episode and as a space junkie had trouble getting past certain things that, even though it was alternate history, were still slightly inaccurate. But that's a ME problem. Every historical based program will have those problems.
