  1. The only item that I dislike about the current student loan forgiveness plan is that it does nothing to fix the problem going forward. For the borrowers impacted, it will certainly be beneficial and should provide some amount of economic stimulus. All of the other issues with education discussed today (excessive cost, lack of govt support, lack of disclosures to student about the actual cost and ability to repay said loans, predatory for-profit institutions, etc.) are kicked down the road for the next group of borrowers. Unfortunately today’s climate prevents people in government from actually working to find a solution.
  2. Watched Heart of Stone last night. I was entertained. It was over-the-top action for 2 hours.
  3. What a terrible bench - Out best lineup against a LHP includes Martin Maldando at catcher.
  4. Just curious - any history with that deer? I have become a big believer in aging via multiple years of pictures. Obviously, every place is different but if I have a deer blow-up one year, then he’s probably getting a pass. For example, I couldn’t place this deer last year so he got a walk and I’m hoping to see his pictures in this years batch. I agree with everyone else on the aging based on that pic - he’s at least 4.5.
  5. He’s only calling that pitch against the Astros tonight. I will be very curious to see the Ump scorecard from tonight.
  6. I’ve heard that It’s really the only way to be sure.
  7. Thanks for providing the information on the digital licenses and game wardens. I have a lot of respect for the Game Wardens and job they do, but I also don’t want to get a ticket for a foot fault. I will continue ordering the paper license.
  8. Feels great to steal one tonight with Javier struggling and losing Altuve in the first. Hopefully he doesn’t miss more than 1 or 2 games.
  9. What’s going on here? Yainer gets to catch Javier. I still don’t understand why Chas hits behind Diaz and Singleton, but that’s only a small complaint.
  10. It appears that the only item which is completely clear is that the family was mostly concerned with ensuring Oher was eligible to play for Ole Miss. It has yet to be seen if they actually received the alleged money from the movie. If he was really part of their family as portrayed, they could have given him a share after his Ole Miss career was over.
  11. I give Dana a pass on Maldonado for this year. I’m certain that Dusty has been provided all the data. They are choosing to start Maldy to avoid the hurt feelings on the starting staff and I’m certain Dusty believes he has final say on the lineups/on-field decisions for the regular season. I won’t give Dana a pass if Maldy is brought back next year in any capacity. Go find an Erik Kratz or anyone else. There should be an experienced backup catcher available who can avoid generating negative WAR.
  12. If we clinch a playoff spot but can’t catch the Rangers, it’s time to rest everyone except Maldy. That fat fuck can catch every worthless game. The 6 seed is the way to go.
  13. In true mob boss style, does Trump show up for the trial in a wheelchair with a trailing oxygen bottle?
  14. Well since Trump already broke the news on Truth Social
  15. He has to hit here so that Framber can have his personal catcher in the bottom of the inning. Just maddening!
  16. There’s the Astros defensive catcher we all know. He’s fucking worthless.
  17. Do states throw parades? Sorry just trying to be accurate.
  18. It’s telling that you think this is a victory for your fan base. As an Astros fan, you’re dam right I’m disappointed about being only 17 games over 500 and in second place at this point. However, I’ve also seen this team come alive in October when it matters. Does Arlington throw parades for being in first place in August?
  19. It seems fairly telling that we haven’t seen a full- throated denial by Franco at this point.
