    Is there some meaning or relevance to the colors in Connections? I have just assume that they were randomly assigned to one of the four daily categories.

    I never know if I should be proud of getting the purple one early, or dumb for not seeing the yellow/green first.

    Episode 49 of the Breathing Orange Fire podcast is up. 
    Andrew rants about Super Bowl announcing and then talk what’s at stake in the Astros spring training battles. 
     

     

    Loved it as usual, but particularly loved the fact that you guys (on a baseball podcast) had more insightful commentary on the Shanahan coin toss decision than people who actually cover the NFL.

  3. Not pursuing Reaves as a restricted free agent was infuriating and telling.  Yes he’s a Sooner and OU sucks, and yes we’re probably like 5-16 even with him, but there was no reason to not pursue that guy and at least make the Lakers overpay.  The roster is sorely in need of veteran savvy and leadership and he was there for the taking.  He’s not drastically outside of the current group in terms of age, either.

    That move made me realize that the franchise is happy to rest on its laurels, rake in the cash of the thousands of new season ticket holders, and keep selling the bs line of “well we weren’t gonna win a title this year anyway, we need to see what we have.”

    I guess they’re content with throwing away a healthy Wemby year and getting him accustomed to losing.  Seems like a great idea.

  4. Wasn’t able to follow much yesterday at all.  Was there some split or other high-level analysis that explained Dubon over McCormick (in the starting lineup), or was it just garden-variety Dusty dipshittery?

    i mean, i know what Occam’s Razor would suggest, but figured I’d ask anyway.

    In case anyone was too drunk to remember... We led off Maldonado in the bottom of the 7th down by 1

    I wish I didn't remember 

    Sure, but for the millionth time, he plays because of how masterfully he handles the pitching staff.

    And he kept the Rangers to only six runs in those final two innings.

  6. I’m not sure about that doom-and-gloom from Roy.  Legacy media will bend over backwards to make Republicans look good if they end up with any sort of power-sharing deal.

    ”In arriving at this historic compromise, Republicans listened to the silent majority of Americans who had grown tired of extreme partisanship and worsening gridlock.  Recognizing the immediate need to address spiraling conflicts overseas and looming budgetary issues at home, the GOP extended an olive branch to work with Democrats to make Congress function again.  While the Democrats spent their years in the majority jamming through massive legislation like the ACA and IRA strictly with party-line votes, Republicans are showing there’s another way to get things done in Washington…”

    Bases loaded and none out.  You have to get two there.

    So frustrating.

    Like failing to score when we had 1st & goal from the 1 against OU.

    Enduring that twice in the span of 10 days or so is… something.
