  1. I don’t thjnky baseball players “go out to the club” after games. Maybe in other sports where they don’t play every day they would be more likely. Of course I had a friend who would shuffle baseballl players from the Ritz Carlton to strip clubs back in the 90s but I have a feeling that doesn’t happen as much today. Too many people with cameras and the guys are healthier today. Baseball is a grind.
  2. The fruitless point of all of this is to a not insignificant number of GOP voters, this kind of stuff is a feature not a bug.
  3. Unless they already play in Florida or AZ or even CA, I suspect most players 'commute' so the city itself is kind of irrelevant. Especially those that command the types of salaries a FA would get. I don't think a city, during the season, matters to them. They are always working anyway.
  4. What I like about this thread is, despite what we may bitch about day to day during the season... it was much much worse. We evolved to first world problems.
  5. We started it earlier this year, about halfway through season 2. After 45 minutes I was ready to give up but then the closing of the first episode got me hooked. This is definitely a show you go back and watch again to pick up on things you missed. I'd have dreams about it.
  6. I thought of you on Friday and Monday when I drove by the windmills near Findlay and the Whirlpool factory. That came up in a convo a while back somewhere around here
  7. I saw that one today too
  8. What does the law say they do? Should the FDA ignore things if the person inspecting that day is in a good mood?
  9. Barack Obama’s middle name was Hussein. That’s all they needed to make conclusions about his mid east policy.
  10. All you need to know about Mcafee is he helped spread anonymous internet rumors about an ole miss student for which he later reached a settlement.
  11. No self respecting veteran should still support this turd.
  12. Did he try to collect the $10 Million?
  13. Driving pet peeves are old, I know. Coming back home thru the middle of OH where 75 is two lanes, circumstances took place that ended up with two trucks side by side. I’m in the left lane. I can see the truck in front of me is going slightly slower than the other so I start to slow down a bit so that he can see what I’m doing, giving him the space and ability to eventually get over and behind the other truck that’s going just a tad faster. Did the car behind me realize that? Nope. He just speeds up on the tail of the truck in the right lane now parallel to me wondering where he’s going to go. Jesus. Just wait about 30 seconds and we can punch out of there and leave.
  14. Is it the SOS job to decide the legitimacy or any laws or regulation? I’ve never heard of an agency of a government just ignoring a process because it’s stupid. That opens the door for all kinds of shenanigans across all industries. “Nah, that’s dumb. Don’t worry about it. Just put down whatever.”
  15. Apparently they didn’t teach the word “suspected” in the “online maga” course
  16. John U Bacon has a new book out about it. I’ve been eating it all up.
  17. I love how small the world is. I once again visited family in TN. We go into Saturday morning because it’s 73 degrees (they closed schools yesterday and today due to ice). Go into a cool looking place called Chill Billees. From talking to the staff it turns out the owner is from michigan and his sister made our meal. She’s there for the week to help get things started so he could tend to his restaurant back here, some BBQ place. The waiter goes over to her and I can see him pointing to his hand to find out where she’s from. “Near Detroit”. I stop by on my way to the restroom and talk some more. She lives across the street from Nancy Whiskeys. 500 miles away.
  18. By platooning you are turning weaknesses into strengths. You can’t legislate it.
  19. Pedophiles are only an issue when the person can be a bigot in pretending to be outraged. It’s not about the victims. They are mere collateral damage. But if they can take down “some of those queers” then it’s worth it to them.
  20. Have no idea on the truth of this but….
  21. That wing is in the White House
  22. Is he by chance related to **** Posthumous?
  23. we were there too... I think it rained. A friend of mine ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. I believe that was the time.
  24. republicans hate cops
  25. I like to say that Berry had the highest Swagger to performance ratio in MLB history.
