    what mlb team is going to throw away $40mil ?

    crane / bagwell are keeping him on the roster, he plays until they say otherwise 

    Spending the money=/= bullshit idiocy with the lineup.

    It's 2 different issues.  Bigtime.

    i say this as a cubs fan, but it would be so badass to see the reds actually get good so that we could see elly stay in a small market (and in that particular ballpark) for the next decade. the inevitably of him becoming a yankee or a dodger (maybe a padre or a red sock if he’s feeling crazy) is one of the worst parts of modern baseball. 

    Watching Mason Miller pitch 3 nights ago, I texted my sons, ‘ He’ll probably be a Yankee before July. ‘

  3. I'd still posit that redefining/ absolute destruction of the family is the key to unhappiness in our society.

    Namely, fathers and raising their children. Then add in the lackadaisical parenting/ bullshit accountability at all levels of the household.

    Let's blame CEOs though.  There's accountability we can control at the grass roots level in those grievances right?

    The crying/bitching/moaning is easier than putting in the work- and that has zero to do with the workplace.

  4. The google comment is perfect.  Mean, bad google* had lay offs, but  how many folks left google on their own accord?  Was google's hiring at zero?

    How dare they target inefficiencies within their organization.  Those folks are entitled to lifetime employment by your rationale.

    We both know that notion is asinine and ludicrous.

    This is standard behavior. Watch The Bad News Bears movie and the shitty adult behavior we see today was present in that movie nearly 50 years ago.

    This thread makes me think of another old movie.  A good majority of the posters sound like they watched  Oliver Stone's Wall Street, yet act as if these concepts and class warfare just happened recently.  It was released in 1987.

    Nobody has a shot, except those who do.  It's fucking weird.

    The only thing rivaling this piece of shit is the incompetence and inability of most state and federal agencies tasked with protecting those most in need of protection, see children, elderly, etc.

    In many of these situations mom has psych and or substance abuse issues. From having friends who foster, I know two who had young children (both toddlers) in their homes whom the court subsequently removed from foster in favor of blood relatives. In both cases they eventually returned to the foster families who were then allowed to adopt them. The lucky one came back with a cast on his arm. The other has cortical blindness from blunt trauma to the head

    I was removed from custody of my bio parents at 18 months, put into foster for almost a year, and then placed back with bio-parents. I was adopted at almost 4, at the request of the state welfare office( now CPS) to my original foster parents.  It has always been fucked up to me that my bio parents were given a 2nd chance to kill my ass.  I will not list what they did, repeatedly, much to the horror and disbelief of my fosters.  I miraculously do not remember any of the abuse, or at least my mind channeled away from my consciousness.  There's something that messes with you that your parents didn't want you, but also physically abused your ass.

    As an adult, when discussing adoption, many people ask if I ever looked up my bio-parents.  "Fuck no.  Why would I?  To rekindle the hate?"

    My daughter is going to the University of Oregon. They threw her a good amount of money, so the nonresident tuition bite isn’t as bad. The school hosted a Central Texas gathering of accepted students a couple weeks ago in Austin, and she met a good amount of people at McCallum and Anderson going there, so she’s pretty excited about her choice, which makes me damn happy for her.

    I'm sure grandma did her part to sway the committee...

     

    ( Congratulations to the younger Ms South Austin.)

    Bad post, I meant that to go in the UT-Coog High game thread.

    I did the opposite, posting in the Texas @ Houston thread.

     

    How bout Altuve with no Tootblan on the last play?  woo hoo!!!

  9. The choice is not between the judgment or character of either Immamac or BL.

    It is a question of rank between an owner and a mod.

    The owner has offered remedies to the situation, which have been refused.  Now all of your hopes lie with what a mod told you in a side discussion, and even with that, it is a direct result of your own refusal to remedy the situation in a manner that is reasonable, yet differs from your preference.

    No one has given any examples or even actually tried to say there is a legitimate issue with bullying. This site doesn’t foster bullies and Derka not posting here has to do with non compliance and being actually openly adversarial to me and the instructions and rules of the community. He is choosing not to participate after he’s been given a chance no one in the history of any of the iterations of the site has been given.  

     

    Bullying? Meh. It’s the internet. I don’t see it as bullying, but some on the board, as evidenced by posts on this thread, think it exists.

    You’re being conveniently pedantic if you don’t see other posters deliberately fucking with Derka.  On one hand, yeah, he should ignore the motherfuckers, but you pulling the Sgt Shultz routine is horseshit.

  11. You can't willingly concede that amount of control, or at a minimum, influence in your life/ surly experience; and blame the person for ruining the experience.

    Put your antagonists on ignore, or don't... and live with the results.  You are NOT the shitbag treating other posters like hell; but you do have easily deployable solutions that are realistic and practical.  WGAF what they post without you knowing?  People know the score, and to the point upthread, eventually they miss out on their reward of seeing you react, and move on.

    Is that not a result you want?  You actions say it is not.

    What if I like seeing the dormant volcanoes and enjoy driving over the pass? /jk

    Regardless of Covid, is that direction faster, slower, or the same? Serious question as I make that drive once a year.

    I reread the initial post and then realized it was for Durango.  I am so used to heading for Denver, that's why I ended up editing my post out.  For Denver yes, the Limon route is great, it's just less scenic.   For Durango, of course you wouldn't want to go that far north. the shot up to Boise City would indeed help avoid New Mexico if they are truly citing folks for driving through(?)
