Shades of Deivi Cruz

I mean, if he were truly a bullpen piece, you'd see him pitch randomly an inning or two every few days. He doesn't do that. He's on the same regular pitching cycle as any other "starting pitcher".

Yes he is. He just doesn't pitch in the first (or sometimes second) inning. If that's working for him (and it seems to be), then there is no reason to change it.

I am so ridiculously bad at golf, and it's making me crazy. I've been in a league with some friends the past couple of years, which is the first time in my 50+ years that I've played golf on a regular basis (or kept score). No one in the league cares that I'm bad, even my brother teammate, except for me. It's a beer cart league, and just out to have fun. Which it is, when I'm not doing the golf part. I even took some lessons this summer, in an effort to moderately improve. Instead it has somehow made me worse. Now instead of being able to drive the ball (but not really know where it's going), I either pop it up straight in the air or top it. The only things that kinda improved is my chipping and putting. Irons are OK, but wildly inconsistent. At least there I know what I am trying to do, but I am completely lost in the tee box.

That would be great. I struggle with all of those things. Well, except the oil. I just wait for the car to "ding", and then in it goes for service.

And this week, the film has the highest ever domestic gross for an R-rated feature. The former record holder? Just our lord and savior Jesus Christ. The Passion of the Christ held the record for more than 20 years at $370 million. According to Deadline, the two week gross for D&W is now $395 million domestic.

Probably. I don't really know. I haven't been to a movie in ages. LOL! I just thought it was funny that Deadpool passed Passion Of The Christ. I never would have guessed that was the #1 R-rated movie.

Deadpool and Wolverine is the highest earning R-rated movie of all time. It passed.... "Passion Of the Christ".

I'm not sure lineup construction is our problem right now.

Are you just going by how she looks on The Bear? She's supposed to look awful. She's playing a trainwreck of a mom.

He's done that a few times. Every time he starts to fade, out comes a Boomerang or Dreamgirls or Dolemite to bring him right back.

The only music news that matters is that there's a new Eminem album this Friday.

I assume this means Baddoo is getting the boot? My son is wearing his jersey to the game tonight. LOL!

Outside of Maeda, I don't have many complaints about the starting pitching this season. It's the lineup and bullpen that are the problem.

My son with tickets to Great American Ballpark tonight is going to be in for a surprise.

Sounds like a Ryan Reynolds situation.

You're probably right, even though he's 67 years old.

Every AJR song I've heard is super catchy. I wish my daughter would have wanted to go to that show...

The only thing that annoys be about the app is if I'm watching the pregame, it doesn't automatically roll me to the game. It kicks me back to the Bally home screen and I have to select the game. It's also moderately annoying that I had to select just one market/team. In Toledo with cable/DirecTV, you would get Tigers, Guardians and Reds all included. With the app, you have to pick one. Not a major deal, but annoying on days when the Tigers are off or played early.

"I respect your right to hold a wrong opinion."

"Alphabetically according to uniform number"? Have you been drinking already today?

McKinstry was pretty effective yesterday out of the pen. As a bonus, it would keep his bat out of the lineup.
