Recipe: Add more shooting, mix well.

didn't look that bad until the third, but the Wings definitely lost it late.

still a damn good costume though!

Rasmussen with 3 trips to the sin bin. Two PP goals for Boston. and the collapse begins in the 3rd. Now 4-1.

Wings hanging in against the Bruins, sort of; 2-1 Boston at the end of 2. Hronek is still the worst passing D man in the NHL. Zadina and Veleno are both letting another chance to be NHL players go a glimmering. Hope not to see to much of either if the rest of the Wings' forwards can get healthy. The dead ends of the Holland legacy.

LOL - Yeah - GM has managed to destroy all recollection of that from the collective consciousness.

it all hangs on his shooting. In two more years he's not going to gain the athleticism to become the slashing threat to the rim is he isn't now. Time will tell on the other.

but TBF, GM basically pulled the plug on the Volt once they reached the limit on the federal subsidy, they had no real commitment. Then they had to scramble to get back in the game once Ford and others started looking like they were going to move past them. Telsa lives and dies by EV, for good or bad they were/are committed. They may may failed wrt many of the things Musk personally hyped, but they have put more EVs on the road than anyone else. That part is real regardless of whatever Musk's public pronouncements have been about. My personal guess is that Tesla will survive even once all the other multi-nationals have their product on the market, but Musk is going to be a much poorer rich man when Tesla's stock settles back to the kind of ratio where all other auto company's stocks are.

I would think 51 would be unusually late for the onset of paranoid schizophrenia. Maybe some kind of dissociated state related to the manic phase of a bipolar issue. Or a brain tumor.... But given that tens of millions of American's are certifiably delusional at an every day polical level, who can say where to draw the boundary between normal crazy and clinical crazy anymore?

I might put Musk into a slightly different box. I think he at least starts out thinking some of his projects are doable. He spread a lot of money around US Engineering schools trying to seed development of technology for hyperloop. I don't know if a true fraudster would have made that effort-maybe an elaborate one I guess. But the other problem I see with Musk with this kind of stuff is that no-one will tell him he's the emperor with no clothes. I'm sure most of the Engineering research depts that took his money on hyperloop projects could have told him up front it was never going to work, but why do that if he's got this nice little grant for you to build a bunch of stuff, take a lot of data, support a bunch of grad students, and *then* tell him we couldn't make it work......

Facebook (meta) absolutely hammered after hours. Down another 20% after a 5.5% drop before the bell. Is Zuckerberg going to become just one more engineer that learned that just bacause you can do it and it's neat doesn't mean anybody wants to buy it, or the leader of a great social migration into the digiverse? Wall Street's verdict today is on the first

Doesn't seem to matter how bad a basketball team is, they will still find the Magic looking up at them in the standings.....

of course the current management has been no great shakes. I guess I don't follow the logic of overpaying for an asset and then immediately breaking it and very likely cratering your revenue. Effective corporate tranformation generally ends up costing money so you don't want to kill the goose at least until you've got some golden eggs banked. 🥚🥚

If Cade will buy into that role after being annointed as primary ball handler last season. And even if he does, if you put him off the ball more his shooting (or lack of thereof) becomes even more critical. Right now the Piston's are pieces here and there, but not much in the way of a team. That's OK coming out of the gate with a lot of young players, but Casey (or his replacement?!?) has a lot of work to do.

yeah - there might have been a better pun to make on 'kichen sink' than 'sink in' but still not bad. It will be too bad if he kills twitter, but I think it's probably equally likely that he just wants everyone there scared enough to soil their diapers as that he's going to do half of what he's talked about.

and Cade doesn't finish the break to bring it within on possession. ☹️

LOL - Piston's rebounding.

True enough if you mean MVP to be 'best' player. But there is an equally valid though different way to take it, which would be that if team accomplishes nothing, no-one on that team was of particular value because they accomplished nothing. As long as you have people who hold both views of what 'MVP' means, that debate will continue. And of course the debate generates engagement=interest, so I don't any reason for anyone in baseball to try to resolve that ambiguity!

so why did some of these dummies sign it in the first place? Waiting to see which way the wind blew I guess. Now they know.

your org doesn't even have controls in place to the level of a month timesheet/log people turn in or does your guy just fudge his?

Ordonez also had major question marks around his knee. IIRC, he overruled the Sox medical staff opinions and went for microfracture on his knee on his own, before the technique had gained much acceptance. That put him on the outs with the Sox and also marked him as a health question mark for anyone else.

K rates like Workman's normally don't bode well for the ability to level up to even tougher pitching, but there are always a few guys that play against the norms. I just wouldn't count on it. He's still more a 'project' than a 'prospect.'

6.8 assists per 36 min in his 1st three games is actually better than Cade's career average to date.

every ship of state needs a Zampolit

Market don't care - up across the board today.
