If you have a great FB (and Jobe is supposed to) and you can command a 12-6 curve ( which supposedly is what he is doing now), that's a great base combination because it works against batters of either hand. Whatever you throw beyond those two is gravy.

I'd prefer Kavanaugh, Barrett and Roberts not be JOTSCOTUS, but that said, they are not in the same class of crazy as Thomas and Alito and are occasionally going to contribute to a reasonable result. Gorsuch is also his own kind of crazy, but over different things than Alito and Thomas. (EDITED)

Crosby had a chance on a rebound out in front and couldn't make the play.

Difference between these teams is the passing. USA much crisper than the Canadians. The USA looks like a team that has played together more than the Canadians.

Standards for thee, but not for me.

DVT should be really, really rare in young athletes so the fact that there are more than a handful of NBA cases in the last few years make you wonder if there is something going on.

intention is easy. Pitching is like other kinds of planning, you can do as much as you like but it only lasts until a few hitters put your plans in the seats. Mize has been in this org with Fetter for quite a while now, He's had problems with command, with his temperament, and with his FB being flat. I'm pulling for the guy but in my view he's got a lot to prove this ST.

If I were Chet that pic of the three of them would have me checking my circulation.

Could be, but to me for Mize the issue has always been that his FB is too easy to hit. You can work on tweaking your breaking stuff all you want, but for 90% of pitchers, how the off speed plays always depends on how good a FB it's playing against.

Bierut in the post WWII era was a very cosmopolitan place, but the rise of Arab nationalism, Islamic fundamentalism and the polarization over the constant Israeli/Arab warring combined to not only destroy Lebanon, but also drive out most of the people that had made it the place it was. There were large emigration waves of Lebanese Christians to the US and Europe first, and then later more western leading Muslim Lebanese who had no use for where things were going.

"I need to get back to using the splitter a lot" I actually don't much like the sound of that. He first came up 'using the splitter a lot' and was ineffective and had to abandon it. Sounds a bit too much little bit like a guy clutching at straws at this point. I hope not of course, but I'd rather have heard him say he had a much improved high heater he needed to use more!

Interesting that the big drop in traffic was around 2008 crash and those totals have not come back at either bridge. I'm going to guess an auto assembly plant or two in Ontario must have closed at the crash and never re-opened.

but which last year, the 1st half or the 2nd? They were two completely different teams last year.

hope that's true of anybody!

All things are possible, few are probable. Ordinary fracture of a long bone has a really high probability of a zero deficit recovery.

That's probably a bridge he shouldn't try to cross. There are 7 easy votes on SCOTUS to oppose that. Even folks here have talked about being able to get things past 'his' court would probably agree that won't go.

At our HS we had an already old IBM 1400 series (i think) computer which was about the size of a large office desk. It had 1000 tiny ferrite cores strung on wires for RAM. That was 1K of 'Core' memory. Hard to remember the efficiency pressure early programmers worked under when that was all the machine memory you had to work with.

if he actually followed through on eliminating the carried interest deduction it might help manufacturing as much as his tariffs. If outfits like Bain were less profitable more manufacturers would probably still be in business instead of dismembered. But that's one I'm sure he'll get talked out of before it ever happens.

you can even use a bunch of LInux CLI syntax now in Windows Powershell - thing is I never know what isn't going to work.

exactly - sometimes the data doesn't imply what you think it does. Fro example, there could be various reasons book keeping on some things aren't up to date, doesn't necessarily mean any money is going out because of it.

merger speculation? Some analysts yesterday were out there with valuations of a dis-aggregated Intel with the value over $30/share as pieces. Broadcom and TMSC were mentioned as suitors, can't see the Admin allowing TSMC to take an interest in Intel's foundry business though, but maybe the other half if the foundry biz is split off? That doesn't seem to parse either.

they like the guys who didn't get disabled, doncha know?

The east coast writers pick Detroit any and every time the Yankees or Red Sox are looking to unload a player. Of course we are where Torres ended up.......🤔

There are rules in A^2 for about everything but they almost never bother you unless a neighbor complains. The guy across the street leaves his beat up old pickup on the street weeks at a time - he's got 100' of driveway. You can't leave a vehicle parked in A^2 on any street for more than 48hrs. I keep thinking the plow drivers will call in on him but they don't. The SO gets frosted because she doesn't like it behind her when she backs out of the drive. He's a nice enough guy but I guess he's just totally oblivious since he apparently never wonders why he's got the only vehicle on street.
