  1. The most 'Rangers' thing ever ... LMFAO.
  2. Berroa 3 up 3 down in the 7th though.
  3. Re: the Mariners, no matter how much or little the rest of the team cares about this game, I guarantee the dude on the bump (Kirby) cares & doesn't wanna give 'em anything at all.
  4. Got damn those dipshits are literally the worst.
  5. I know he's s'posed to be #2, but he looks like #1 to me.
  6. When did CU fans start putting their Horns up? Good to see other schools honoring us like this, just like USF.
  7. Haven't seen every match, but it seems to me like Swindle's getting more comfortable, the team is starting to relax, and they're just getting better. Still some work to do, of course, but by the postseason they could be pretty nasty and a team nobody really wants to face. That sound about right to y'all?
  8. Great quote here that I saw on Autosprt. Goes back to what we were talking about before with RBR somehow trying to hamstring Checo. Albon sums it up pretty nicely imho. It's just a diffeeence of strengths and weaknesses in the skillsets of different drivers. This says it a lot better than I was able to. Albon on 2020 car: Albon continues his story in which he shares his unique perspective on the reigning world champion's racing skills.
  9. OBTW, the construction worker who was killed in Vegas working on the stands was done in when the quickie saw he was using kicked back on him. Poor guy was still alive after the hit but bled out before responders arrived. Those things come with guards on them for a reason, and I guess the one on the saw he was using had been removed as is common in construction and elsewhere. Sad. https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/labor-union-leader-calls-bellagio-death-a-freak-accident-911-audio-released-2911176/?released.utm_campaign=widget&utm_medium=topnews&utm_source=homepage&utm_term=Labor%20union%20leader%20calls%20Bellagio%20death%20a%20‘freak%20accident’%3B%20911%20audio%20released
  10. Yeah there's no perfect solution, but they could certainly come up with a system that's better than what we have now. The main thing is to create penalties with teeth, that are actual deterrents and are consistent. The way it is now, it seems that some drivers are just going ahead and committing the infraction, rolling the dice that they won't be penalized, but not really too worried anyway, because they figure that even if they're penalized they can make up the time on track once they have the posiition or whatever. Lots of talk about Perez fgoing all NASCAR the last couple of races and basically getting slaps on the wrist.
  11. In the overtaking thread there's a lot of talk about different overtaking incidents, the sad state of driving standards in general, and potential best ways to remedy all that. The latest is a lot of talk about Lewis forcing George off at Spoon. Some interesting ideas there, and apparently a lot more thought being put into it than the FIA/Stewards. The proper driver penalties thread is pretty similar to what we're seeing in here lately, but on a bigger scale - 5s for every infraction is stupid, etc. Position penalties gaining lots of traction, and so on.
  12. LOL I think y'all are pretty well up to speed. If anything new or interesting comes up, I'll definitely pass it on.
  13. FYI for anyone interested in more of this talk, there are two long-running topics over on autosport that are getting active again with all the crap happening lately: 'Overtaking Rules' and 'Proper Driver Penalties'.
  14. William Cannon and Brodie, right? Hey, it's not like there are many old/hadicapped folks that go to drug stores tho. What a POS.
  15. Yeah isn't that the one George was referring to above where he said he got 5 seconds but should have gotten a drive through? 5s for that was so crazy that even he thought it was light.
  16. Rodin names Andretti as successful F1 applicant after own failed bid https://racer.com/2023/09/28/rodin-names-andretti-as-successful-f1-applicant-after-own-failed-bid/
  17. From her post: "Ik heb door een samenwerking" ... Pretty sure that's Dutch for "Is HEB open?"
  18. You're one flag short ... 🤘
  19. So when do the strippers arrive?
