I played a lot of EAFC24 before the summer. USWNT (besides Morgan, Smith and Rodman) didn't get a lot of respect in the Ultimate Team bc of the poor showing at the last WC.
On the other hand, Spain and England had the best players in the video game. Many gamers can easily named most of the players in those teams because of it.
Now with Brazil also advancing to the final and many of their players are based in the US, it will help to bring back some shine to NWSL (from Liga F and Barclays).
Why does any of this matter? I have no idea.-

Oof. Yeah it might be a good idea to reboot. Bermuda is a lot more forgiving than St A.
Growing from seed is tricky in the first stage of germination. It has very little root system. Frequent, short duration watering is best, morning, noon and night. Once it gets some roots going you can do the longer less frequent watering, but it's touch and go for the first month or so. As far as kind of turf, it's bermudagrass, buffalo, or zoysia. St. A has a very low germination rate which is why you don't see it anywhere. Zoysia or bermudagrass would be my recommendation and of those two I'd call bermudagrass the more forgiving of cutting back on water in drought conditions.
I will have to go seeds all the way here as I'm not gonna spend money on sod. We might have another drought this year and I'm back at the same place next February.

Pulisic's corners has been so bad, I don't remember it being better in the WC either.

Verlander + 20 million for Luis Garcia, who says no?
Garcia wouldn't play until 2025, so not sure what good he would for the Mets. Maybe 3rd team that is rebuilding (like the Yankees lol)

The U.S. women's national team midfielder said it was a bruising tackle from club teammate Danielle van de Donk and their tense exchange that fueled Horan's equalizer against the Netherlands in the Women's World Cup on Wednesday. "That's where you get the best football from Lindsey," Horan said afterward. "I don't think you ever want to get me mad because I don't react in a good way. Usually I just go and I want something more -- I want to win more, I want to score more, I want to do more for my team."
Basically confirm the eye test, the team is sleep walking through the games. Activate Hulk mode for now on por favor.

It doesn’t even matter that we won, outcome isn’t what matters it’s process and the process is fucking broken.
But be grateful that this is made possible by REAL bAsEBaLL people instead of microsoft excel dorks judging players' performance with metrics that nobody can explain.

Unless you’re trying to create a tax event or own it in a retirement account, why wouldn’t you just buy more on margin? You could actually get more leverage and not pay the $0.87 premium, which is significantly more than your margin interest cost will be.
This is in Roth so no margin. Anyway my brokerage, Schwab, is charging 10% margin.

I have 200 sh of PLTR right now which trading at $6.88 ( total <$1400). Too embarrassed to tell you guys how much I bought these at.
Thinking to sell all and use all the money to buy 3 calls of $3 Jan 2025 at $4.65/each. To breakeven at expiry, price would need to be $7.65
What say you wisemen?

Crane played 4D chess with the "I fired Click because he should go big game hunting, we are not Tampa" message. Yeah, we overpaid Montero and Abreu but still don't have a C and LF.

As long as Bagwell is not the GM, we be fine for the next 2 years. Then you need to rebuild the entire infield except for Pena, and thats a hell of a task.

According to Spotrac, Astros was still paying Greinke last season?

Man, we should have just paid Springer...

This Dutch team is nowhere near the level of Van Persie's and Robben's years. They have DeJong but I see no reason why USMNT shouldn't dominate the midfield and gallop down the flanks with ease. Probably wouldn't be able to score though so this will go to PK.

They don’t need a lefty reliever at all. And they DEFINITELY don’t need $50 million tied up in the bullpen, that’s nuts.
Tell that to Dusty who has Crane's ear

Signing Montero pretty much means JV is out. They will spend another $10M on a LH reliever so 45M leftover to shore up the bats. Thats plenty for Contreras AND a 1B (Abreu, Bell or Rizzo).

I remembered ppl waiting in metro line for an hour back in 2017. Some didn't even make it to the parade.

I'm bringing my toddlers to the parade? Any tips on parking and where to set up shop?

Caitlin Clark …. Seriously
in Basketball
Posted · Edited by Chapo
Which one of you?
A 55-year-old Texas man who told police he was in "an imaginary relationship" with WNBA star Caitlin Clark was sentenced to 2½ years in prison Monday after pleading guilty to stalking and harassing the Indiana Fever guard.
Michael Lewis, of Denton, Texas, reached a deal with Marion County prosecutors in which he pleaded guilty to one felony count of stalking and one misdemeanor count of harassment. He will get credit for time served at the Marion County Adult Detention Center since his arrest.
Lewis also was ordered to stay away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Hinkle Fieldhouse, Fever events and Indiana Pacers organization events, as well as to have no contact with Clark, who is 23. He also will not be allowed internet access during his sentence.
"This resolution ensures that the defendant is held accountable for his threatening actions, the fear he instilled, and the disruption he caused," Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said, according to WTHR Channel 13 in Indianapolis. "He will now spend the next 2½ years in the Department of Correction and the victim will be able to have peace of mind while focusing on what matters to her."
The judge also recommended that Lewis, who said during Monday's courtroom proceedings that the end of the world was coming, get mental health treatment.
"You can't help yourself until you get help," the judge told Lewis.
Lewis was arrested Jan. 12 after authorities alleged he sent hundreds of "threats and sexually explicit messages" on X to Clark between Dec. 12, 2024, and Jan. 11, 2025.
"Been driving around your house 3x a day," Lewis messaged to Clark, according to court documents. "But don't call the law just yet, the publc is allowed to drive by gainbridge..aka Caitlin's Fieldhouse."
"I'm getting tickets. I'm sitting behind the bench," another message read.
"They said I was sending threatening texts..but the only though on my mind was....CAITLIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNN," another read.
Other messages were sexually violent, according to court documents.
The FBI tracked the IP addresses of Lewis' messages to a hotel in downtown Indianapolis as well as the Indianapolis Public Library. Indianapolis police then made a welfare check on Lewis, according to court documents, and he told officers that he was in "an imaginary relationship" with Clark and that he came to Indianapolis on vacation.
The messages to Clark continued after the initial visit by police.
Clark, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, has been limited to 13 games this season because of injuries and is currently sidelined with a strained right groin.
In December, a 40-year-old man from Oregon pleaded guilty to stalking Paige Bueckers and was given a one-year suspended sentence and three years' probation.
ESPN's Katie Barnes and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
