  1. I am of the opinion that he should not have been thrown out of the game. What should have happened was the umpires issue warnings to both benches after the first pitch was way in after Contreras went down. Then on the next one they would have been justified in throwing him out. In fact, I believe that Mikolas was expecting warnings after the first pitch. Then when they didn't come, he said fuck it and hit him. Then again, I guess I'm old and think pitchers should be more like Nolan Ryan and Bob Gibson and protect their teammates.
  2. Horrible strike 1 and 2 that forced him to swing at that last shitty one for the DP. What I would really like to know is why Marmol just sat on his ass and let his player get tossed like that.
  3. Yeah, I'm the guy that starts the video and then does actual work in another browser. If I actually watched them it would have been painful.
  4. You poor bastard. Actually, it isn't impossible. Improbable, but not impossible. My fear is that they are going to fuck around and do just good enough to give bowtie some hesitation and then not sell fast enough.
  5. I have sat through many mandatory hours of his IT Security videos.
  6. "The 29-year-old remains stuck in an Airbnb while police investigate allegations that she raised her voice to a male employee at a car rental company following a dispute." The real problem is in bold above.
  7. Neither is the booze part. Certain hotels have bars. A westerner can fairly easily get a drink in Dubai. When I was working in Kuwait, my wife came over for a week or so. We were on a plane to Dubai almost as soon as she landed. I've had better "vacations", but compared to Kuwait it was Vegas.
  8. Too late to edit... I also wanted to add that on one of my last visits to see my dad before he passed, I had a strong indication that he felt like it may be the last visit for us. At least possibly the last visit where he could still get out and show me things. He had me driving all over northeast Mississippi going to all of the cemeteries where we have relatives buried. Very somber experience.
  9. My dad died about 10 years ago. One of the boxes of things that I got contained a bunch of newspaper clippings from the Tupelo Daily Journal. No major news stories, but I guess they had names of people that he either knew or maybe relatives of people that he knew. They were also laminated.
  10. I tell people in Missouri (where I now live) that the BBQ sucks here and that Central Texas BBQ is far superior.
  11. Seriously though, I'm seeing 49" ultra-wide monitors from the low end of $700 up to a couple of grand. I have 3 external monitors for my laptop. One I connect to the HDMI port on my computer. Another one plugs into my USB-C port. The other connects to the DVI port on a port replicator thing that I bought and connects to one of my regular USB ports. I don't do any heavy graphics stuff, so it works fine for me.
  12. And I JUST fucking got it! Username and all. Old, forgetful and slowing down on the mental things. It sucks getting old.
  13. Never really thought of it that way. When I was in the Marines I'd wear a digital Ironman or something like that, but never had a "nice" watch. She definitely made me clean up a little bit.
  14. Never really wore a watch much when I was younger. Wife gave me one on our wedding day and I've worn it every day since (22 years).
  15. I don't want to speculate about what he had going on, but here's an article where he opens up about his struggles. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2704984-david-freese-describes-struggles-with-depression-alcohol#:~:text=As Freese told Bob Nightengale,t care about my life.
  16. Yeah, I have heard the same. Hometown kid playing for the hometown team and becoming a hometown hero made for some problems that he may not have had away from STL.
  17. And we are all probably a little perplexed as to how NOTHING has changed.
  18. Unfortunately, my sarcasm and snark went completely over your head. This team is so fucking shitty that they never have a probability of winning until it is over.
  19. Those win probability charts in any Cardinal game are bullshit. If they do find some way to win, it doesn't drop from 100% for the other team until after the last out.
  20. Mo is such an idiot. He points out his own failings without even realizing it. Dude, you fucking hired the guy AND put the team together. Everything wrong with this team can be traced back to you, you fucking bowtie wearing moron. If Oli doesn't have the hand that he thought he would be dealt, that's on you. If the players are good enough and the manager is failing, that's also on you for making the hire. ETA: Why exactly did Mike Maddux leave? What's the REAL reason for Matt Holiday backing out? There's got to be more to the story than what's been presented. They knew ahead of time that something was fucked up.
  21. True, but this situation is particularly shitty. Mo is an idiot and the ownership won't make any real roster moves to improve the team as long as they are making money. Right there - as long as Mo is still in charge, Yadi won't be the manager.
  22. My reservation is not regarding his potential to be a great manager. My fear is that he would be stepping into a horrible situation in which no one can fix without a full offseason. I don't want him to be Mo's new scapegoat. If Mo was to be fired along with Oli, then I'd be fine with Yadi now.
