  1. Don’t bother me about those pesky files when our country is at war!
  2. I guess she has a point. She sure is passionate about it. Hook 'em
  3. I trust you have tried/been on immunotherapy? It has proven successful in even the most dire cases. In any event, don't give up yet. And we're here for you seven.
  4. He doesn't come out of retirement for any amount of money
  5. Yeah, I'm about $170K at 2.75%. Maturity date 10/1/31. I'll be 64. Ready to retire with no mortgage payment.
  6. I don't know why, but this cracked me the fuck up.
  7. Catalina moved from Woodland Hills to Florida like 10-15 years ago as environmental issues related to production became too much.
  8. Yeah, it sounds like Reardon might be pretty shady. Someone will acquire the assets and restart production. The Catalina brand is too much a part of the fabric of American boatbuilding to just disappear.
  9. Not arguing it was the most difficult catch of all time. Just that it might be the most impactful of the very difficult catches. And look how far he had to run to get there. No chance in hell Edman makes that catch. And while Kike got there, it would have been a miraculous over the shoulder catch.
  10. A regular season game vs a game 7 game saving catch? Not really close when factoring in the situation and impact.
  11. Crazy. Dad caught Rojas's HR, son caught Smith's https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/lightning-strikes-twice-for-father-son-duo-that-caught-both-historic-home-runs-in-game-7-of-the-world-series/3799837/?_osource=SocialFlowFB_LABrand&fbclid=IwZnRzaAN2bs9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHsupN7GdKPr1GqwBfe10eGARoeP1t1YdOd5dj7iVkRuzJbPEtjDa15Ta1xap_aem_1V3wpDrQ3iEvBpXiiqwKmQ#mot6y3t744h6ynxo40nuv0xb0vm0wll
  12. Argument can be made
  13. I did. A BLT without mayo just seems sacrilegious.
  14. You should probably reread how you wrote it.
  15. That's truly incredible. Who did they think they were hiring, Knute Saban Lombardi?
  16. It was estimated the Dodgers generated over $100 million ADDITIONAL dollars from the Japanese market in Shohei's first season. They actually profited from signing him to a $70 million deal. And then add Yoshi and Roki, and they completely own that market. Dodgers are in great shape next year. Only free agents of note are Miggy and Kike, and neither is a key member. Played key roles, but neither was leaned on for much all season. Everyone else is back. Hate to see it, but I think we let Kike walk. His regular season, and even playoff numbers, this year were below average. If we can get him on a reasonable deal, fine. Rojas has said he wants to play one more year, preferably with the Dodgers. Bring him back. And you know Friedman is going to be dealing. Oh, and they have a top 3 farm system. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46070464/2025-mlb-prospect-rankings-update-farm-systems-30-teams-mets-dodgers-mariners Do the Dodgers spend big money? Yes. They better the hell spend with how much they make. 4 million fans this season. Almost 600,000 more than the next highest Padres (by comparison, the A's and Rays both had less than 800,000 TOTAL for the season). But they have the best top to bottom organization- front office, ownership, scouting, governance- in baseball and it really isn't close. Usually these things run in cycles, and you'd expect them to be looking at some down years coming up. But no reason to think they can't sustain this for the foreseeable future. (btw, happy 100 to Mel Brooks!)
  17. Ah OK, it read like he was talking about Illinois.
  18. Dante Moore can singlehandedly win you a game against anyone. And singlehandedly lose you a game against anyone.
  19. Point of order- Illinois beat SC. And lost to UW.
  20. If I recall, not only was the buyout obscene, there was no offset, right?
