  1. That's who I was trying to think of earlier.... I knew it was another pretty woman, just couldn't think of her name.
  2. As I often quote PJ O Rourke in 2016 "I think Hillary Clinton is wrong on everything. But she's wrong within normal parameters" Most of the time politics can be worked out in a middle groud but I think Obama's election did away with that. It also started with Gingrich on a smaller scale but Clinton outsmarted them. But they never forgot. The point of congress after his election became denying the oppostion party's re-election.
  3. I have to go to bed now.
  4. Joe’s kicking ass
  5. If JV coming back is “cost free” then fine. But every team has a budget. Verlander would be the highest paid player on the team unless they extend Skubal.
  6. Yeah they need to get moving. This is like a Yankees/Red Sox game from 2019.
  7. Outside of Hochul it’s been a great night so far.
  8. Hochul is a horrible speaker. Or at least this is a horrible speech.
  9. I hope his son Jack is doing ok. He was such an early advocate for special needs kids. It wasn’t talked about as much thirty years ago but thanks to people like Jim having that courage it is now.
  10. Hope Hicks? Or I think there’s another press person that’s also a woman and pretty…. Amorosa?
  11. Well one guy gave Tareek Skooball some love in his highlight.
  12. After Tuesday in London she doesn’t have any shows until November.
  13. Did Carpenter call him off? I didn’t see it. That’s all on Kerry.
  14. I want tears man… seriously I love the sad fans. Especially in college sports as I have no allegiances.
  15. Did they adjust the lights to MLB standards for this game?
  16. The difference is this call would have been the final out and the next at bat was the final out. You are acknowledging a mistake but not changing anything. You can even keep Donald’s hit in the books. All they have to do is say “yeah it was a perfect game”. This isn’t a legal issue. Nobody can sue. It’s not the Supreme Court. MLB stats are not financial institutions that are audited. They are already imbalanced. I don’t see a “well if you do this then you must do that” scenario.
  17. I’m not sure pundits who covered presidents from when I was in middle school are in tune with the ways of today.
  18. I’m sure Seattle fans saw 6 games with the Tigers as the way back to first.
  19. E60 at 4 pm today is on Galarraga’s non perfect game. Manfred again said no change in plans to place his name on whatever list there is. I think doing something in this case is an easy decision. There’s no butterfly effect since he got the next out. You dont have to do it in other situations.
  20. And I generally go with a “rough” 20% plus a Buck. So for example our Thai food tonight was $61. By “rough 20%” I mentally go “20% of 60 is 12, add a buck so it’s $13” and I write the bill out for $74 plus the cents.
  21. I like the general principle I have seen lately where if I am expected to tip before I get my food and/or if I am ordering and paying standing up…. Little to no tip.
  22. Why is NV so close?
  23. Man this guy is so bad at this. I can't believe the hype around him originally. This has to infuriate Trump.
