  1. Anyone else hear about the 41 year-old teacher at Trinity Valley in Ft. Worth that died of the flu last week? Crazy. Don’t fuck around and find out if you feel really bad.
  2. Wooooooooooo
  3. The fuck that isn’t a yellow. Wow.
  4. Or you could just replace all of the poor minorities who have been unjustly imprisoned in the name of “The War on Drugs” with the real criminals. An American saying “we need more jails” is like a Kiwi saying “we need more sheep.”
  5. Asdrubal clearly fits the “old” part, to be fair
  6. I’d be absolutely shocked if this case doesn’t get solved. The cops would have to be fucking incompetent - there has to be a ton of physical evidence.
  7. When people use “less” when “fewer” is correct.
  8. Plus Strom knows our pitching prospects quite well. Would make sense. Christian Walker too, while we’re at it.
  9. Why does Crane love Montero so much? Fire Crane!
  10. It’s a consistent theme in the awards this year. Did Showalter win in NY because he’s a better manager than Snitker? Obviously not, the Braves won the fucking division. He won because what preceded him has been such a shitshow that he looks like a genius in comparison. Not how it’s supposed to work.
  11. This is hilarious. Actually have to tip my cap a bit to the yokel that thought to do it.
  12. Great info, thanks for sharing. Here’s my dummy question - how does Rizzo have a higher barrel % yet a significantly lower average exit velo and hard hit %?
  13. Update. JV still wants more than Scherzer - we have extended our best offer and have told him if he can beat it, good luck. No color on number/length, but “he’s gonna do what he takes” was not accurate. Rizzo’s agent is on speed dial and corner OF is a priority. Not center. Click and the others that didn’t return were ultimately “not a fit” with what the organization’s philosophy, and it was never a question to bring back Dusty for one more year. Crane is going to take his time hiring a GM as he felt he had to rush it last time and nobody particularly wanted the job. Interviews will start relatively soon. In the little bit I learned today, I wouldn’t be surprised with a Rizzo signing. Edit - Haha didn’t see Tapia’s post as I had my reply going for a bit too long while doing other things. Confirmed.
  14. This show is so uncomfortable. My wife and I love it. Can’t get the title credit music out of my head today.
  15. Crane will take all the heat, but I have zero doubt that Dusty didn’t really want to work with him.
  16. I stopped watching in the first 15 seconds after the host said she was surprised JV opted out. If you really think that, you’re not worth my time.
  17. Mission Accomplished.
  18. By the way have any of y’all seen Passan in person? I saw him a couple of times in the third baseline concourse during the playoffs - they guy is seriously about 5’7” 150 lbs. LOL I just looked it up and see Wiki has it at 5’9” - no fucking way. Seeing him in person strangely made me a little less hostile - I’m sure I’d be an overcompensating dick if I looked like that.
  19. Passan doesn’t have a clue. Crane keeps Jackson around because it might be some minimal marginal help in spring training and around the building, but he knows it’s all about ego for Reggie and not really serious. Bagwell’s role/relationship I haven’t heard anything about but trust me, he ain’t putting a whole lotta stock into Reggie Jackson on serious matters. I’m guessing Bagwell is the same.
  20. Why...shit is overrated Alvarado outside shoulda told you
  21. “So that’s what I’m gonna do, do some more winnin’.” HELL YES DUSTY!!!
  22. I was at the last WS flag unveiling and it went quite poorly. Given that the parade route this time was 100000x better than the 2017 parade, I can only assume they’ll learn from their mistake of failing to be able to get the cover off the pennant at the climactic moment.
  23. Well I’m ready to run through a goddamned brick wall now. Is it April yet?
