Pretty good find and this would help explain if he starts slipping.

We have ****ty players on the roster now.

Wait until you get the tweet that both Candelario and Paredes make the All-Star game.

The wow just wow part is how away he is going to get with it.

I guess he could, but I’m not holding my breath on that one.

He missed an entire year of minor-league seasoning and was rushed up by a GM desperate to look right. He had fewer than 700 plate trips in the minors and still less than 1,400 as a professional overall. His growing pains are all coming at the major league level. I’ll give him until about 2,500 plate trips before I conclude he’s just not gonna make it. That’s basically end of next year, his third year. I’ll grouse about him until then, but I won’t give up on him completely until then.

Are “superbowl” and “Redwings” and “alot” also one word to you? 😉

For a moment I thought that last word was “bat****”.

And white boots. Don’t forget the white boots.

The Taylor Swift Economy.

I got parking for tonight’s game at the Laz at 150 W Jefferson for $14 on ParkWhiz. I bought it yesterday.

Oh boy, is Baddoo gonna be out now for a few weeks?

Yeah that’s the part I’m concerned about. He’s going to have to come off the field way before he hits 30, or else accept the couple of losses he’ll get you there over a whole season.

A year and two months in.

Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson are players who are not likely to enable the club to succeed long-term? I don’t know who you have in mind instead, but that’s a high bar.

Fox News has been going double-time on Burisma today.

I never believed Billy Graham was unimpeachable, and I don't think the son fell all that far from the tree. But I could agree to disagree.

You would get no counterargument from me on this.

Honest question: who do you think are the honest, above-board, even unimpeachable television evangelists? I'm not asking this as a springboard to criticize or as a gotcha—I'd like to get the impression from someone who might be sympathetic to them.

If you insist.

That’s what I’m wondering: does he know just how much trouble? A guy who has never gone through the system probably has no idea, or maybe he believes it’s not actually serious and is a minor nuisance that can be negotiated. And for him, that might be right, who knows. The one thing I do know is that he will leverage his popularity and the implicit threat that entails, and that will be part of the calculus Justice takes into consideration.

My neighbor thing is, a guy moved into his mother’s three-flat next door to us a couple of summers ago, and he likes to bring his guitar and amp onto his front-of-the-house balcony and serenade his neighbors with his practicing, I guess. It’s shapeless, formless, noodley electric garbage he plays, but nevertheless he is out there most nights from maybe 630pm to almost 10pm. It’s not super loud, but it is loud enough to have to kick up the TV volume a couple of notches. We’ve never crossed paths and I’ve never met him, so I can’t fairly ask him to moderate this behavior in any way because that’s not the way to meet a neighbor. As long as it’s not disrupting us by being too loud or too late, I guess we just have to grin and bear it. If he … ahem … amps it up much, though, we may have to meet him after all.

Well, you have to admit that it’s really unusual that it’s happening in the corridor, whereas it’s not at all unusual when it happens in Needles.

Ugh this post just caused me to have a terrible flashback to my childhood going into the bathroom after my mom, the combined smell of Pall Malls and … well … let’s just say, worst smell imaginable.

Lol we’re tied for fourth.
