  1. I think the last available option would be put the DH into the game - Keith to 2b, McK to SS. (if it were Javy going down.)
  2. Edvinssson screwed by the scorer, should have gotten an assist on the last goal, and he should have been up a month ago. Have no idea what the org was thinking on him. Larkin still doesn't look 100% to me - he's gutting it out. Veleno has played himself into Lalondes penalty box. Perron suddenly re-appears.
  3. I guess they aren't going to win their 1st four games by one run. 🥲
  4. Sometimes maybe you just have to question stuff at what I'd call the 'stupid' level. Has Lalonde either overworked or under-trained this team? They just seem to be run down compared to the game they were playing in January.
  5. It's pretty much a 4 to one ratio of throwing speed to running speed. 90 feet 3rd to home, the OF was less than 180 feet away. Runner had no chance on any kind of decent throw.
  6. Tork being too greedy, trying to put every pitch in the stands. Needs to remember Magglio - Try to do too much, you won't do too much.
  7. Yup - He's never been a good enough skater to be able to use his size. He used to get knocked down a lot. He's gotten to where he can stay up better but he still doesn't have enough balance/strength on this skates to use his size.
  8. It's the second runner he has sent that was out by more than 3 steps.
  9. yup. Terrible send. Fielder was shallow AND the fielder had the ball before the runner was at third.
  10. cheaper than google or apple. https://www.tomsguide.com/buying-guide/best-cloud-storage
  11. that's true, that option is there. Doesn't mean it still isn't harder to win such a case. And if the original complainant is not only passive but now actually hostile to the prosecution because some kind of out of court deal was reached.....(not clear that is the case here but Sutton's lawyers appear to be angling for one)
  12. and if she decides not to testify against him even the misdemeanor goes poof. In any case the odds of him playing in the NFL by say -- mid-season, just got a lot better.
  13. Holy ****. This is going to be for all the marbles. I don't see a path to a GOP win without FLA. Campaign spending in FLA may break any and all records set in CA or anywhere else. Poor stiffs, by Election Day, there probably won't be anyone left in the state who won't be ready to follow Howard Beale's advice to throw their TVs out the window.
  14. I agree completely with the distinction between owner/worker - in principle. The one caveat would be that if a self-employed contract maid publishes their prices, they are going to have to be competitive with what Molly Maid charges as a base rate. But they know you are willing to tip Molly Maid, so they are leaving money on the table value wise if they publish a fee that meets the franchise cost. But if they build in the tip they expect/know you would pay Molly Maid, they know they will lose business because that is just the reality of the way people shop. So under those conditions it's sort of a no-win situation for an owner/operator isn't it? Maybe it comes down to whether it's the owner of a multi-employee business with capital and/or brick and mortar overhead (IOW, is the owner a capitalist?), or a person is working as a single self-employed service worker - who is still basically a wage slave?
  15. Yes, I think the plan is to appeal for cap relief, but I didn't mean to be particularly precise about the release terminology - the point more simply being that they quickly decided to wash their hands of him. In lieu of the charge already being reduced to a misdemeanor however, I wonder if their case for relief has just been undercut. Then again, it may depend more on the conduct language in the CBA than what he is actually charged/convicted of under law.
  16. The only black clouds on the Tiger start so far have been Maeda and Lange. Maeda has a long enough track record and looked good enough in ST that Saturday can be written off as a blip - at least for now. It's nowhere enough to question his place in the rotation yet. But what about Lange? It's not like he was close but being squeezed by the umpire - he was as wild as during his worst stretch last season. Hope for a game out of reach one way or the other in the next couple of days to put him in? Seems like daylight madness to send him out there again in a leverage situation until he shows he can throw at least the occasional strike. This is sort of an unintended consequence of the three batter rule. You can't put him out there to start an inning and pull him if he walks the first hitter or even two.
  17. 'Truly Innocent' is sort of an ideality isn't it? There are millions of people who are not 'Truly Innocent' that can't be convicted of any crime. Since NFL deals are largely un-guaranteed, the Lions had the right to cut him before his case was resolved. That also creates a kind of momentum to assume he's as good as convicted. But you never know, it's not unusual for cases to end up being legally more complex than they appear initially.
  18. By the definition in John's letters, an 'antichrist' is someone who starts out in the church, but then falls away from it teaching false or "anti-Christ' doctrine. So I don't know if any secular world leader qualifies under a proper theological definition. Putin does wrap himself in the Orthodox church, and likewise Trump with the evangelicals, so they have that part going for them, but neither 'came out from us' in the strong sense sense implied by John. Xi seems pretty much a secular tyrant. OTOH, I suppose In the more Hollywood/Manichaean/pop-American-demons-are-everywhere/Satan-is-lord-of-this-world kind of theologies - any real baddy can be read as demonic and fit the bill. 👿
  19. and Hanifee let both runners he inherited score on consecutive doubles.
  20. First guess would be that if the UFL contracts didn't give guys rights to sign/jump to NFL deals, they'd have a hard time recruiting players.
  21. Apparently objective cases are a bridge too far even for Wisconsin grads, of whom I would have expected more.....
  22. This morning's forecast has NYC rain moving out by early afternoon. Low chance of any evening rain.
  23. We don't need no stieeenking pythagorean!
  24. Wire to wire, Baby!
  25. If this team ever hits a little watch out.
