the old saying is that the Stone Age didn't end because they ran out of stones. If the US ties itself to oil, industrial efficiency in the rest of the world will just continue to pass us by as they operate on an energy economy that is not only cleaner, but CHEAPER. A lot of oil is going to get left in the ground around the world because it will have no economic value at its cost of recovery.

And it shows up in March because when the stakes are higher and other teams play a little harder, the Wings have no reserve, no margin to raise their own game. Maybe McLellan is too good a regular season coach 🙄

Not a very entertaining game, but I can still thank the Tigers for a much less frustrating evening than watching the Wings would have been.

Keith needs a little work on the throws

McGonigle needed to have challenged the 1st one, which was a ball.

I suppose in the long run, anything and everything that makes oil more expensive can only help jolt the US into a better, future success oriented energy policy, at least after the Idiot has left the scene. From that standpoint a Persian gulf that is open but expensive wouldn't be the worst thing, EXCEPT that whatever $$ go to the mullahs definitely is a worst thing.

Tork getting BaBIP'd already this season.

that's how they are going to get their reparations. If they are half way reasonable they'll get their way and make a nice bundle.

another little detail. McGonigle with no hesitation calling Keith off the pop-up. SS should take that ball but you often see a rook be a little deferential.

even the SO said that.

There's a little D.

he might have been in too far to make the tag, I didn't think the angle they had on the replay showed his depth very well, but if he was in the wrong place it still means if he was in the right place it's an out.

Tork been skipping the weight room or what?

the throw was there in time. It went by Tatis when he was still 3 feet from the bag.

that's about as bad a play as a major league 2b can make.

it’s always a fine line. as long as he has a high enough percentage of successful ABs. It’s just harder for a guy to make progress if he’s making too many outs.

Still, not sure why they started him at AAA when he only had 41 games at AA and struggled there most of August before having a better Sept. That's SSS to prove he had mastered the level though. Always easier to bring a guy up than have to send him back down..... He's always had a very high GB rate though - something he's going to have to fix at some point.

UNRaid. There are a bunch of candidate plugins for it but I figure I'll give it a few days to see if DSN lifts the blockade before I spend a lot of time on it.

so far, DSN is on DirectTV, but only live. It is not allowing broadcasts to be provided via DirectTVs "DVR" library, i.e. you can mark a game to 'record' but if you try to play it back you get a message that its owner is not allowing streaming. First time I have ever seen that on anything at DTV. I used to have a spare computer I had set up as a physical DVR, unfortunately it is now my NAS. There is probably a way to get the NAS to make a recording but I'm a long way from figuring that out as I sit here. I know I could use something like OBS but I want something that can read the guide and schedule unattended.

It's two days, he may be playing on unsustainable adrenalin - in fact he is certainly playing on unsustainable adrenalin. So he's going to come down off the cloud, but right now he is high enough he can come down quite a way from the last two days and still be pretty good.

and the other thing that Trump's real estate background has never taught him is that unlike property that just sits there waiting till a deal closes, the interconnected web of the world economy doesn't just start back up when the fighting stops. Oil fields, large industrial processes, supply chains all take time to start back up once damaged. Futures markets are already telling us that the expectation is that oll prices are not coming back down for months even if the fighting ends tomorrow.

I had thought the "10 day in row" was something in the CBA but apparently it was never official.

I don't know if Peralta was just trying to go away and cross him up after trying and failing to tie him up inside and left it too much over the plate, or if he was just giving in and throwing him a 'here it is hit it pitch', but either way, Peralta threw him exactly one decent pitch to hit in that AB, and to McGonigle's credit, he didn't miss it.

1080P not kind to Daniella's make up job. She looks ceramic.
