  1. Just went into the kitchen at work to get a cup of coffee and sitting on one of the tables is a Cardinals Hawaiian shirt with a post-it note with "free" written on it. Someone else is fed up. I got rid of cable about a month ago and was thinking that I would miss Bally. Not so much this far.
  2. This going to be a long season. Yep, I am reaching that conclusion in the second inning of game number 1.
  3. I'm a little off right now. I understand the point now.
  4. I saw a tweet or whatever that was a picture of the little press conference they had announcing Peewee's extension. Peewee was sitting between Mo-tie and DeWitt. It was captioned something like "Well, it's confirmed, Oli is just a middleman."
  5. Speaking of that, how do you like Brad Thompson on the call? He is better than Edmonds, but I could see some people not appreciating his humor.
  6. I saw him in Balad, Iraq. Put on a great show and the base had to shut him down because it was getting so late.
  7. Typical Cards off-season so far. Shopping in the bargain bin. Will be the island of misfit toys again. I highly doubt that Yadi agrees to be on this staff.
  8. By saying that Oli has done a good job, Mowtie is saying the he did a shitty one.
  9. All I saw in my mind's eye listening to every single one of those callers.
  10. Dahobbs is correct, PowerQuery will get you where you need to be with Excel. For the PDF part, you could use a vb script: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/how-to/convert-excel-pdf-vbscript
  11. Nothing but truth there. I did get a BBQ Guru for mine and it is fantastic. I did a couple of cooks before the Guru arrived and that was great, but the Guru is amazing. I will throw a brisket on around 7:00 PM and wrap in butcher paper around midnight. I go to bed without any concern about temps and sleep like a baby.
  12. I have come pretty close to pulling the trigger on one of the gravity fed smokers, but ultimately decided not to. I've seen some videos showing how the seals in the charcoal chute don't last. There also seems to be a hot spot right in the center where the fan blows the heat/smoke in. I took the advice of a long time poster here and got a WSM 22. I've had a pellet smoker and liked the convenience, but the taste us just lacking. In the WSM I get the best of both worlds. They are about as close as set and forget as a pellet and the taste is worlds better.
  13. I just don't understand how they lose shit all the time. I have one drawer in the kitchen that is mine and mine alone. That's where I put all of my stuff. My keys and wallet are in there when I'm at home. My phone, on the other hand, is next to the couch on the end table charging. If I forget anything when leaving the house, it's my phone. I don't have this natural ability to remember everything that keeps me from losing shit. I don't lose shit simply because I recognize my limitations and know that if I put something where it doesn't belong, I'm going to lose it. My wife has lost her license a few times. Social Security card? Yep, she's had to get more than a few replaced. Keys? All the fucking time. Debit/credit cards? Yep, I'm surprised the bank doesn't just automatically cancel it and send her a new one every 6 months or so.
  14. I work from home and the wife does not. She called me about 45 minutes after leaving the house and asked me to look for the master key from her work. She insisted it was in the upstairs office, which is hers. I went up to check and it was nowhere to be found. She insisted that it had to be there because it couldn't possibly be anywhere else. I just told her "I don't know what to tell you, but it isn't here". When she got home that night, she looked in the upstairs office, pretty much taking everything out of drawers in her search. Her search expanded to the kitchen and other places that she randomly leaves shit. Every so often I'd ask her "Any luck?" with just a touch of snark. She could not find the key anywhere in the house. The next morning she found the key, AT HER WORK. So, instead of thinking that I could have possibly been right about the key not being in the upstairs office and looking at work for it, she waited all day to come home and look for herself in order to prove me wrong.
  15. Keep up. He's a level 48 necromancer. Christ almighty, it's like I'm playing cards with my brother's kids or something.
  16. Judgmental people that make snap decisions on whether they like someone based on looks or where they come from. Oh wait, that's me being judgmental of judgmental people. Fuck.
  17. Do you all think we see Masyn Winn get real playing time this season?
  18. Yeah, bottom line for me is that the umpires fucked it up. I will also concede that the Cardinals' announcers sounded like morons on that call. Chip has irritated me a bit more each broadcast. I normally like Brad Thompson, but he got just a tad over emotional when Mikolas was tossed.
  19. Payback for a HBP, even unintentional, was part of baseball from the very beginning. I am not saying that they weren't operating within the rules. I guess what I am saying is that it really wasn't that big of a deal. He didn't hit Happ in the head. He didn't throw at his head. He hit him on the ass. Happ wasn't going to miss any time because of that. Contreras, on the other hand, very well could have missed more than a day or two after getting hit by Happ's long ass swing. The umpires just handled the entire situation shitty, as usual. If they had done the right thing, both benches would have been warned after the first inside pitch. If they had done that, I highly doubt that Mikolas would have hit Happ. Yeah, I am old school about baseball. The game has changed a lot. ETA: Who really gives a shit? Meaningless game for the Cardinals. They just suck. Probably some frustration bubbling to the surface for Mikolas.
  20. I wanted to add some context. He is not as bad as Ozuna, but Happ has a long swing and does hit the catcher from time to time. The biggest issue that I have with this is how the umpires "handled" it. They should have issued warnings to BOTH benches after the first pitch was inside. Mikolas hit Happ in the ass and Happ took it in stride.
