  1. it's crazy how many teams are dealing with this right now. the yankees were supposed to have a great rotation, now it's cole + scrubs. the mets were the dream team, now they're patching together sp2-5. i heard an interview with someone with the m's before the season about their "3 aces", which played out about as well as you'd expect. hopefully these are not surgery injuries. we have the depth to deal with this thank god. it should also coincide with our schedule letting up a bit. next man up.
  2. this implies that bb will not start the next urquidy game.
  3. yeah, i've also noticed a problem with his hands and head. and shoulders and feet and swing. otherwise he looks fucking solid.
  4. these were written before one of his most pitiful at bats of the season.
  5. sounds like good news for my hb roy bet.
  6. machete is only a thing when everybody else is healthy. that is not our current situation.
  7. this has been done in tv and movies several times, but my personal favorite is "everyone says i love you" with ed norton doing his woody allen impression. it was tasteful, believe me. enjoy your dinner.
  8. the wife and i are negotiating our new lease with her car, and we're both going back and forth individually with the dealership, and she's kinda fucking up the teamwork and crumbing the play. as we were discussing this last night, i said, "do you know who you're being right now?" and she thought about it, and was like, "no, i am not being shiv" and then i came up with my kendall impression, and said, "you put shiv in, and she's a fucking dipshit, no one respects her, everyone's talking about it" and now i'm not allowed to do the kendall voice anymore.
  9. right but it’s on my book with my guy where i use credit, not my own cash. gotta take whatever futures are avail.
  10. question for the (fellow) baseball nerds here. what websites have the best longform player profile style statistical articles? like the super drawn-out spin-rate/exit-velo, who-in-their-right-mind-would-take-the-time-to-read-all-this type of articles. i'm doing a little ai experiment. fangraphs and athletic are the only 2 i frequent that have long articles, but i'm sure there are a bunch of others. thanks in advance, and i'll be happy to share my findings.
  11. each episode is standalone. so not even anthology.
  12. when people ask me what's happening i say hunter brown.
  13. sigh. yes, i've mentioned several times this season that whatever gets in the way, the deal is not happening. writing is about choices. the way you make your choices is to play them all out and to see where they take you, and choose the one with the prettiest view. my response was to a post talking about shiv getting played and her role in this. i was gaming this out from her perspective because i find it interesting right now. she got squeezed out of the threesome with a bunch of mixed metaphors, and in typical shiv fashion, she's acting like a dipshit. that's who she is. this show works on a rotating entourage-style story arc, where everything is great, then everything is trouble, then everything gets solved, until it doesn't. this isn't lost or 24. it's practically a cbs procedural at this point. but yes, sure, i'll be the one person who isn't entertaining hypotheticals on this thread. good god, man. i guess every thread needs a shiv.
  14. we were cracking up at her "i can give you pr consult on the side if you need it". "ok, step one, stop doing it", which is step one of every single piece of pr advice in history. i did like the juxtaposition of what mattison thinks her role/sway/juice currently is with her brothers/waystar vs what it actually is since the announcement. if they take 192, she's going to become beyond irrelevant and hopefully gets back into political mischief right before the election. she fucking hates mencken who is definitely going to lose and call it rigged.
  15. yeah, for tampa's bullpen. god dammit.
