  1. A stroke waiting to happen.
  2. Hillary Clinton's fault.
  3. Don't we talk about how the Pistons seem to be bucking all NBA trends? I don't know how you let Duren go. Partially because of a very strong connection to Cade. If Cade is Batman it's like sending Robin to go work with Superman.
  4. I wouldn't count on that. A lot of people are going to show up to vote and be denied. Especially in cities and suburbs near big cities. I guarantee it. The Supreme Court will do nothing. And once it's gone, it'll take a Civil War to get it back. I just don't see young people looking up from their phones long enough to care. With Gen Z and Millennials having unprecedented access to information - they are *mostly* dumb as dirt. Especially Gen Z. They've had too much done for them and have lived a life of pushing a single button to solve anything that they are lost. Millennials are actually a little more savvy than Gen Z. A growing number of Millennials are turning away from "smartphones" - probably because they see what it's done to Gen Z. Now if you are reading this, and you are part of Gen Z, then you are the exception. Because if you linger here, you probably give a ****. But dealing with Gen Z and the "I don't know how to....." is frustrating as hell. You know what. Just about everything I do in my job, and in my life, I didn't know how to do at one point. So I learned. And it has NEVER been easier to look things up. But still "I don't know how to....". Because there isn't a one-button solution to do it for them. (By the way, I love what they are doing this season on The Pitt -- to avoid being hacked like several area hospitals, and noticing hundreds of attempts to hack them, they shut the whole network down. Went into the "dark ages" That means medicine before 2005. A lot of those young doctors are in a trial by fire now, but think of how valuable that learning experience will be for them. Might be rocky, but yeah, totally relying on tech is very very dangerous and I think we're all going to find that out in the near future. Something massive will happen (probably not long before the midterms) .
  5. McGonigle (King Of The Spring) is making it hard for the team to not bring him North (or West to San Diego) Pilkington didn't pitch well again
  6. The amount of awareness and poise with Jenkins can't be overstated. That kid is a find. Plus the way Paul Reed stepped up when they needed him. Quality of minutes. Talk about roster-building. It's not about the quantity of minutes, it's about the quality. Jenkins made Ivey expendable. I just hope the guy they got for Ivey can't do something at some point. Feels like a bit of a wasted opportunity so far. Don't care about who was out for Cleveland. A win is a win. We had plenty of games without Cade and Duren and Harris and we won 'em.
  7. Yep. I am older than you Malcom and it's pretty much the same. Nixon didn't start the war but he sure ****ed it up more than it was already ****ed up. And if he wasn't so goddamned paranoid and surrounded with nut jobs, he might have actually been seen in a positive light. But nah., he's a Repugnantcan, he couldn't help himself. Plus his Southern Strategy helped create the mess we're in now by stirring up more racism. Eisenhower was the last decent one and he warned everyone in his farewell address. (plus Eisenhower was much closer to Independent than Republican, He considered running as a Democrat, so maybe that explains why he wasn't an extremist).
  8. Wag The Dog. Epstein story now fades to secondary status.
  9. He's just the modern version of Mike Laga. Sensational Spring Trainings, but what has he ever done in the regular season? NOTHING!
  10. any time they say "elbow" I say "uh oh". The human arm is not meant to do what these guys are asked to do now. Consistently throw in the 90s from a very early age. Plus, spin rates are so important now. That puts a lot of torque on the elbow. Plus these guys are throwing breaking pitches when they are really young - like little league age - and from what I always understood is that was really bad for the elbow at such a young age. So many TJ surgeries happen now because we're asking these guys to be machines and they're just humans. But Mickey Lolich (rest in peace) pitched 376 innings one year. Mickey didn't constantly throw in the 90s. Few guys did back then
  11. come on, you know it's coming. see you in 2028, kid.
  12. So Giancarlo Stanton says he can't open a bottle or a bag of chips. Dude, just retire. Do the Yankees one solid and let them take the insurance money. You're done. I usually don't care about the Yankees, but this guy's just ripping them off at this point.
  13. My cousin in Boston retired from the insurance industry in his 40s and went in with two friends on a boat and they do charter fishing trips (Mass in the Summer, Florida in the Winter). One of the two other guys ALWAYS gets seasick when it gets dark........every single day and he's been around boats his whole life.
  14. try a piece of toast with a little butter and maybe a small amount of cinnamon or jam. coffee with no food ......older guy..........blood sugar drops a piece of toast with little bit of butter stopped my nausea/vertigo the other morning.
  15. DO..........NOT..........SEEK...........THE...............TREASURE WE.......THOUGHT.......YOU.......WAS......A........TOAD
  16. People actually bet on spring training games. See, to me that is an absolute indication that you have a gambling addiction. Betting on games where the teams don't even care if they win or lose.
  17. the weather is nice in Baltimore for February.
  18. Go ahead and schedule him now. We'll see you in July of 2028 when baseball finally returns.
  19. I'm not feeling very positive about Riley Greene this season. His 2nd Half was brutal. .694 OPS is garbage. And he was no-show in the Seattle series. That uppercut swing gave him more HRs, but he needs to put the ball in play a lot more.
  20. Giving the Presidential medal of freedom to athletes is ridiculous. Hey, they got their Olympic medals. It's just another thing that's been cheapened by this creep. Doing it for poll numbers. It's why I rooted for Canada to win the Gold. Trump ruins everything he touches.
  21. I am wondering how good Decker will be. He's being held together with duct tape at this point. I mean, I respect the fact that he is willing to fight through it to play, but he is someone that likely won't be practicing much this season. I hope he has enough left.
  22. One way to look at today's loss is that none of those pitchers are likely to be on this team at any point this season. As far as the hitting goes. Someone please wake up. 3 hits? That's vomit-inducing.
  23. Cat Power tickets claimed.
  24. how are you watching?
