  1. That 5th inning from Cole was one of the best he's ever seen for surviving by only giving up 5 runs. It's not his fault that no one covered 1st base, or that Freddie Freeman singled to drive in 2 runs, or that Teoscar Hernandez hit a deep ball over Judge's head to bring in 2 more runs. Just a really dominant 5th inning by Cole.
  2. I like him the least. Assuming the events we’ve seen in the past are true, Catherine is a pretty despicable person. She was an unfaithful wife and a negligent mother, and she possibly watched a person drown without signaling for help. But we don’t even know if the version of the past we’re seeing is true, because it’s being told from Nancy’s book. By comparison, Stephen is using his dead wife’s questionable accounting of a tragedy to strategically ruin the lives of multiple strangers. Even if Nancy somehow knew the truth, his reaction to this information is psychopathic. He seems to develop some sadistic pleasure from watching the trapped bug die inside the glass, so maybe that’s just who he is now.
  3. Catherine could definitely handle this situation better and minimize the damage. With regards to work, she should claim the book is entirely fiction. Maybe concede that she had met Johnathan in Italy but deny that anything ever happened and adamantly deny any involvement in his death (which btw is entirely speculative from everyone except her). The Italian police cleared her of any wrongdoing at the time, so the only thing against her is a bitter father who wasn’t there and couldn’t possibly know what happened. His book is fan fiction revenge at that point. The pictures are somewhat damning but she could either say Johnathan stole them from her, or just admit that she had an affair 20 years ago, which would look bad but hardly career ending. Just deny deny deny on his death because how could she actually be guilty of a guy drowning at sea while she is on land with her traumatized child? The way she is now portrayed as completely helpless is a little annoying. Also, she has an accomplished career and all it takes is for some stranger to show up with a book he claims is about her, and then her staff runs her out of the office with minimal discussion while multiple employees video her breakdown, all within a couple of hours. That would go down much differently in real life.
  4. Sure, but they could at least attempt to focus on the economy or immigration. Both of those are legit concerns for many Americans and areas where the GOP could at least pretend to have an edge. Instead, they are hammering us with sex changes at school.
  5. Honest question - Why does the GOP have this last minute obsession with the transgender in schools subject? That seems to be the sudden focus of every political ad on TV and spam texts. I get that it’s a cheap scare tactic but the only reason I can see that they would run with this is because they think it plays well with undecided voters. Why that topic and not immigration or the economy? Is America that dumb that one party thinks the key to winning a presidential election is to convince people their children may go to school and get a sex change? Or that inmates are getting sex changes in prison and this is the thing our country needs to worry about? I mean, let’s see, we have immigration, the economy, a housing crisis, climate change, abortion, gun violence, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Gaza, and China. But one party wants everyone to stress out over unauthorized sex changes at school.
  6. Just noticed Sailing Yacht is back and I watched the first 3 eps. This is about the only reality TV I watch and the Gary/Daisy drama is almost enough to make me quit. Wife and I were in Ibiza over the summer so that’s a draw for me. We ate dinner in the same square where the crew went out to eat. In this picture here, their dinner was on the immediate left. Kinda funny considering we narrowly missed them in Bonifacio, Corsica in 2022. I posted about it up thread but we were there the exact same night. We don’t plan this I promise. We didn’t even know what Below Deck was at the time, but our travel path keeps overlapping. Anyways, I’ll keep watching this season for the Ibiza aspect but I’d like to see the series get an entire cast refresh before season 6. This cast looks pretty boring except that the chef is quite a cocky little fellow and that amuses me.
  7. Quinn looks scared out there. He completes a lot of short passes to the LOS which are reminiscent of GDGD offense unless the receiver can make a play and pick up YAC. His advocates then love to point out his completion percentage but a high completion percentage for short yardage does not win big games. Defenses can scheme for that. He often overlooks open receivers downfield. When he does throw downfield, it feels like every pass is just a prayer left up to chance, a literal Hail Mary. His first TD pass to Moore looked great but then he makes horrendous deep passes that make you wonder if the nice TD was just blind luck. It was the long ball that happened to fall in the right place. I think it’s roughly 80% mental and 20% physical at this point. I guess the good news is that mental problems can sometimes be worked out, especially with 2 weeks before the next game. We can at least hope that Sark gets him to snap out of it. Confidence is a fickle thing. It feels a lot like 2001 again, except that I would trust Chris Simms a lot more than Quinn Ewers. I expected us to beat Colorado that year and I believed Simms would get it done. With Quinn, I fear the opposite. I expect to go 1-1 against piggy/aggy due to him having a wtf game. I’d love to be wrong. I think people clamoring for Arch have merely reached the conclusion that we’ve hit our ceiling with Quinn and they are ready to turn the page and move on to the guy we all hope will actually win a championship at Texas, even if that isn’t this year.
  8. Surprised Helo isn’t here to remind us Judge sucks.
  9. Game 1 delivered.
  10. Your “opinion” inspired you to vote for a guy that started an insurrection to overturn an election that he lost, and now plans to pardon the criminals involved in that insurrection and use the American military to go after his own enemies. A guy who said “Hitler did a lot of good things.” A guy who has been convicted of sexual assault. A guy who might very well destroy our democracy. So um, no, we aren’t very tolerant of that “opinion”.
  11. I assume that as well, but Nancy was consumed by grief and bitterness, so watching a story entirely through that lens is underwhelming. I’m hoping there will be some kind of twist or reveal similar to Atonement, where we realize that the story we’ve been fed is deliberately untrue and there is a deeper explanation.
  12. Voted today. Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Ted Cruz.
  13. Finally caught up on this show. Can’t decide if I like it. Feels like a mix of The Affair with Big Little Lies. So far, the plot is a little boring to me. Married woman and teenager have affair, teenager drowns, and years later the teenager’s parents seek vengeance by publishing a book to torment the adulteress. Nothing about that is all that groundbreaking, but we still have 3 episodes to go, so we shall see.
  14. I’ll be in San Juan for one night in a few weeks. Arrive mid afternoon, fly out early the next day. I’m thinking just dinner and drinks in town unless there’s something I should attempt to see or do. I booked dinner at a place called Cocina al Fondo that looks good online. Someone told me to spend time in Old San Juan. Anything specific? Is it overly touristy?
  15. Well since we’re historically a red state, maybe lower numbers would be an indicator that long term Republican voters are underwhelmed with their candidate this time. Wishful thinking?
  16. I’ve been a little bit tuned out the past few weeks so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I see PredictIt is now giving a moderate edge to Trump. What changed? Is that even a metric worth acknowledging?
  17. There were also plays where Quinn had time and he ignored open receivers, over or under threw targets, or threw into Georgia players’ hands. He is also slow and has zero ability to move when a rusher gets through the line. The line played poorly but that doesn’t excuse a lot of Quinn’s wtf moments.
  18. Well shit, I hadn’t even considered the possibility of Quinn coming back until reading this post. The night somehow just got worse. Maybe he could transfer back to tOSU.
  19. Arch please
  20. Good luck and have fun. Lifelong Dodgers fan here, went to the NLCS and WS in Texas, but really want to win one in a non-Covid year. With all the shit you’ve been through lately, you deserve this more than anyone.
