always irritating when a goalie plays better against you than he did for you.

They are slowly nationalizing more bits of income - not the least being luxury tax transfer! But I don't like the whole 6yr/arb process. Players should be able to go to market much sooner but teams should have the right/option to match offers.

I guess they are not necessarily great to live in or maintain, but there are a ton of the most beautiful stone houses in the Pittsburgh environs.

Well, somebody's 1B.

So are we all up for bringing Dombrowski back to replace Harris? 😉

It possible that managing a mentally run down clubhouse is just not one of Hinch's strengths. He is the ultimate 'steady Eddie" guy, but maybe that is not an approach that finds way to recharge a team in the mental doldrums. He could probably also give his regulars more rest, I think Greene and Tork both played too many games. I'm with Sparky on that score.

can't you delete your old file uploads? Hmm - looks like we can't. I wonder if that is tied up with the limit on how long we can delete/edit posts. I'm pretty sure in one of the earlier versions of the board you could delete old attachments - but that was probably when there was no time limit on editing old posts.

Bichette was gimpy and could only run the bases station to station. In that particular circumstance I don't think it was a bad move. OTOH, I didn't like the bunt after the Vlad double.

and the clock starts on the 5 days to FA declarations.

I think the Jay could have turned 2 in the top of the 10th when the play came home, but it didn't matter.

SO is downstairs, I'm upstairs, she is 20 seconds ahead. We have fiber - go figure.

same reason he ended up on 1st after a double last night.

at this point whether it would have been is not even so much the issue as whether it should have been. The big laugh in the PSU story was that the funds were 'only' coming from the Athletic dept, not the general fund. Of course if the AD had a surplus instead of a deficit, where would it have gone? At M at least the AD returns surpluses to the GF for general student programs. All dollars are fungible - always.

And to any extent that the Dems may have poor polling on the issue it's really irrelevant because a polled voter may have a vague feeling of dissatisfaction with the Dems as a party over this, but it's unlike to actually stick to his own rep in the next election. In elections it's Presidents that get blamed for everything that happens on their watch. Covid stuck to Trump 1, inflation to Biden, the shutdown will stick to Trump 2. As will be the increase in inflation -assuming we ever actually get a real measurement again.

The only media available in the US that even reports regularly on Africa is the BBS world service, so that's not surprising.

Morant has(had?) freak of nature athleticism, but 6 yrs in is he losing some of that - maybe that's his problem?

Staring a marriage bankrupt from the ceremony probably leads to a poor prognosis.....🫤 (average cost of US wedding now exceeds $30K as per any number of sources)

He thinks he won't get called out till he gets to 5.

Johnson's baby shampoo addiction. It's the left's drug of choice.

It's also fair to note that Biden got flac from the right on the basis that some of his hugs were not considered proper form. So, goose, gander and all that. 🦆🦆

I would also note that PSU, which actually is a pretty good school and certainly could put the money to better use, paid a bundle to get out from under Franklin. Apparently a Congresscritter introduced a bill to cap public university coach compensation liabilities recently but I imagine it's DOA. Still that fact that it's gotten to where that happened at all isn't a good look.

yeah - this is pretty much where we are. Assuming they are trying to move him along ASAP I was a little surprised they didn't send Max to AFL. Hopefull that was because the judgment was made that he had worked so hard over the year he needed the R&R

IDK - That's a world I'm happy to be a disinterested observer of. I am interested in the integrity of major league sports though. Any idea that they could be just another take on WWE (i.e. fixed - whether by entertainment managers or gamblers being immaterial) pretty much drains the interest for me.

83rd percentile offense aint bad for a guy that can't shoot. Imagine if he could.
