    I happened to get on instagram about an hour ago, and John Moreland was live streaming. He played a new song from his new album; the album dropped during his live stream.

    The song he played was the title track, visitor, on the new album.

    I downloaded the album, and it’s damn good.

    Been listening to this the last couple of days. Damn good. I'm enjoying much more than East October.

    Man, it’s looking like pretty much every move Brown made this off-season besides Caratini has blown up.*
     

    *Hader I’m fully crediting to Crane.

    Every move since winning the World Series including firing Click.

    Just finished the last of Don Winslow's 3 novel set about Danny Ryan.  "City in Ruins" closes out the story and is Winslow's final book.  All his stuff is great, but this series was excellent.

    he's a damn good writer. highly recommend the Danny Ryan books, highly recommend the cartel/power of the dog series and highly recommend The Force (which was optioned to be a movie and still hasn't happened yet)

    Just started The Power of the Dog based on these recommendations. Very good so far.

    If there’s one person OJ would protect, it’s his kid.

    And, if there were two people he would have murdered, it was his ex-wife and a waiter.

    Sounds great. Just so you know, I may have left my lucky stabbin' hat at the scene.

    I'm not asking people to pretend like better moves couldn't have been made, of course in hindsight that's true.  But ALL of you thought Abreu was at least the right signing.  Maybe not the best contract, but it was lauded EVERYWHERE, including here. 

    As much as it pains me to say, that pompous ass Keith Law actually was one of the few, if not only, writer who panned the signing at the time. Said his bat speed had shown signs of slowing down, and that trend likely wouldn't reverse. So, yeah, he pretty much nailed it.

    Not very far into it, but with both the Murrah building bombing as well as the more recent events of January 6th, it's been an interesting rearview exploration.

    I went through a period where I read this and a couple of books about Waco and the Branch Davidians over the course of a couple of months. I found Homegrown to be pretty interesting. I am old enough to remember McVeigh and the OKC bombing but was too young/indifferent at the time to really follow the story closely.

    I just happened to be in downtown OKC a few years ago with sometime to kill. I started wandering around the area near the hotel I was staying in and ended up at the OKC memorial. It's pretty moving.

  8. Started For Whom the Bell Tolls on a whim a couple of days ago. I am about half way through it and am enjoying it. So far I'd put it above The Sun Also Rises.

    If the production fell due to a combination of things like an OC change, him not being happy for whatever reason, and possibly being banged up, then that seems like it could be correctable

    I think it absolutely was a combination of all three. His drop off corresponds with the OC change and him missing about a week's worth of practices after he landed on a camera guy in the end zone and had back soreness. So he was getting fewer opportunities in a more run oriented offense and was able to do less with the opportunities he did get because he wasn't 100%. That quickly led to him being disgruntled. By the end of the season, it was just an all around bad situation for him and the Bills. Not surprised they wanted to move him.

    I'm considering reading The Nine: Inside The Secret World Of The Supreme Court by Jeffery Toobin next as I never got around to reading it and although it would be somewhat out of order considering this last tome, might be a good supplement to what I've just finished. Anyone else read that? Thoughts?

    I read the Nine and really enjoyed it. it's a very different book than The Shadow Docket. It's much more focused on SCOTUS history and the justices themselves. It's been a few years, but i don't recall it getting too deep into any of the technical details of the Court's work like you get in the Shadow Docket. Toobin wrote a follow up a few years later called The Oath. If you like The Nine, it's worth checking out too.
