Stan's back!

Wait til you attend your first game, stay til the end, get home and get to bed on time.

He used to be on here (or MTS) and was just an ass, and really I blocked him because he went sports talk radio in arguments and moved goal posts so often it just made me dumber.

With Sportz showing up in here, this is officially the "Tweets from people I've blocked" thread.

LOL at a sportz tweet showing up in the lunatic thread.

Depends on perspective

The Mets signed David Robertson and acquired Brooks Raley over the offseason. They've amassed some depth.

Two Baptist ministers down here got sentenced to very long prison terms for their relations with minors. Ban churches.

Somebody told me there is an ETF that basically simulates shorting all of Cramer's recommendations.

What is so ridiculous about advocating for masks on airplanes? Fwiw, I think it is far more important in terminals and concourses during peak airborne pandemic times due to the intermingling of people and the engineered ventilation on aircrafts developed after SARS.

There is actually a rule that players added to the 40 man over the offseason can't be optioned until 20 days before the season.

Bold move by Shep being on Twitter...

I had this thought, but the Eagles played 10ish games there a year including postseason and preseason as opposed to 81. I'm not sure this stuff is statistically significant. It would show up in other astroturfs, right? And three times the national average in such a small sample? Well I wouldn't jump to conclusions on that. Other possible causes I'd want ruled out: chewing tobacco, steroids/ped's/supplements, some chemical plant upwind from Veteran's field during the summers, etc...

I enjoy.

I'm planning to retire at 57, but who knows what happens in the next 20 years. Being late to the family game means I've been able to put extra away the past 5-10 years or so. Government pension too... When I crunched the numbers a couple months ago, it was feasible.

LOL at Dingbat ranking Bligh Madris in the Tigers Top 30 two months after being traded. Poor poor BA is stuck with that mess, because she is pretty much unfireable now as long as she plays the C card.

Wouldn't make much of a difference...

51%

FWIW, I assumed it was lab leak all along. China cooking up bioweapons just tracks...

I have an egg head. Masks make my ears hurt because the strap tends to be pretty tights.

Is there a more red herring than the origin of this thing?

Who, though? Warner/Discovery is trying to get out of their RSN's. Disney had to sell what became Bally due to antitrust concerns... There aren't too many suiters out there, and the business model seems to be in decline.

There are so many factors that it is tough to get a mathematical number on how effective things are. Good luck isolating variables, so that leads to bad faith actors twisting data how they want. Let's say you went out into public in 2020. Your chances of catching COVID were dependent upon... -Amount of people you came into contact with -How long you came into contact with those people -How close you were to those people -Whether those people were masked -Whether you were masked -Was it indoors or outdoors -What was the humidity/temperature indoors or outdoors -How strong is your immune system? -How was the ventilation? Good luck isolating all the variables you need, and that's only a fraction of them.

I think people just don't understand exponential math. This is especially true when they rack up credit card debt, which our country is terrible at, but when you talk about a disease that spreads exponentially, something like mask wearing that can reduce spread a small amount really compounds once you get several potential disease hosts down the line.

I was going to suggest that the answer to that was "He didn't have the extreme legislative majorities DeSantis does." But he did. Either way, Ronny D won't have 70-80% majorities in either house of Congress if he wins. Good luck railroading congress like he does the Florida Legislature.
