oh, and last night i went to mission impossible at grauman's chinese, 7pm show, and ashley i and jared were in line in front of us to buy popcorn. she has fat legs and wears a lot of makeup. he's a bigger dude than i thought he was.

i only watched the first half, as i have little interest in seeing broken-hearted dudes or hearing from becca (i don't think the current contestant should appear on these shows). but yeah, a bunch of them still don't like each other.
david got painted as a bully for picking on jordan, when it seemed (at the time) that he was really the spokesman for the group, many of whom disliked jordan's antics. jordan claimed to be always positive, confident, fun, upbeat, and there to put a smile on becca's (and everyone's) face. then he gets bent out of shape when people called him a clown. i'm no dictionary salesman, but isn't that the sole purpose of a clown?
also it's clear a bunch of these guys were just in mexico together, so i really don't care to see them talk about stuff that happened months ago, when we're about to see stuff that happened weeks ago.

we're not "one bat" away from having a good offense.
we're getting everyone healthy and having (most of) them perform up to their capabilities away from having a good offense.

One from a team that will take Marwin Gonzales, pretty please.
i know marwin is having a bad season, but he's great in his role - utility infielder. he's playing out of position because our ss can't stay healthy. it's not totally marwin's fault.
he homered off jansen in g2, and for that, he gets a lifetime pass.

agreed with above. all we can do now is root that (a) he kicks ass on the field and (b) this becomes a story of redemption, and how a great clubhouse helped turn a talented 23 year old's life around.
from everything i've seen, heard, and read, osuna is saying the right things. he doesn't strike me as some loose cannon troublemaker. he represents himself as someone who wants the second chance. what he does with it is anybody's guess.

I’ve been playing HG method so long (when was that posted?)
hankkingsley and i met "uncle" richie who taught us the system sometime around 2000 i think. i put it on hornfans not long after for discussion.
jhawk - my "session" is always $300, and that covers the system for a good chunk of time on $10 tables. i don't always play it all the way down if it's cold, but it gives you enough time to figure out what's going on.

Fun fact from the twitters:
Tom Cruise is 5 yrs older in latest Mission Impossible movie than Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon.
i still find it crazy that in the natural, brimley was 50. and redford was 48.
cruise is 56 and flying all over the fucking place in this thing.

I thought it was ok-to-good. It reminds me a lot of
Bloodlinea bunch of other shows in that it was a good idea for one season of TV, but I question how they'll stretch things out over multiple seasons (i assume thru constant flashbacks and telling the story out of order to make regular stuff seem like twists). And much likeBloodlinea bunch of other shows, I worry that season two will be boring and I'll bail on it midway through the season.handmaid's tale, westworld, 13 reasons why, goliath.
the list for subpar season 2's is growing...

if he wasn't currently suspended, he would be one of the top guys on the market. he's got great stuff and 2 more years of team control. he had a pretty sick season last year (83/9 k/bb). guess we'll see.

altuve signed off (per correa). he is the spokesman.
if he says it's good, then it has to be.
obviously he needs a change of scenery, so hopefully this works out for him, us, and giles.

eligible to return aug 5th.

it's also interesting to see how the general public reacts to certain individuals when they get in trouble.
i know people have said they won't watch kevin spacey movies anymore. i get that. or won't watch louis ck stand-ups. his was way more weird than evil/illegal, but sure, why not. but then ask if they'll watch a movie produced by weinstein (arguably the biggest monster of them all), and the answers are mixed. maybe they'll watch if they don't realize, or don't have to look at the person? his name is on 300+ movies. many of which he didn't have anything to do with personally.
in gunn's case, i would think by the time it came out, most people wouldn't care if his name was on it or not. i highly doubt there would be enough people boycotting the film to affect the gross of the movie. disney made a proactive move, and they've got bigger things to worry about. the real question i guess is whether the movie will suffer because of a different, new director, causing the gross to be lower after shitty word of mouth. i would think that's just as likely.

craps can get a little sticky, because the "right" way to play (however you can minimize the house edge) often leaves you the most exposed to getting hit hard financially. that's how they get you. casinos most often have a "3-4-5" odds allowed scale, which is what lurch was describing. if you're only putting 2x odds on your pass line/come bets because of $$$ reasons, that's fine. but then when the table gets hot, instead of upping your $10 original bet to $20, just press odds to max.
it drives me nuts to see people make a $10 pass line bet, 2x odds, hit it, then put a $20 pass line bet, the come out is a 12, and they look like you kicked their dog.
as for the house edge, "true odds" etc - remember, the pass line bet, on its own, is not the type of bet you're looking for (same with the come, obviously). you're making a bet that, on its own, is a pretty shitty bet. i mean that because you get paid even money, which is 'close' to what a 6/8 would pay, but horrible as it gets farther down the line (even money on a 4/10??). that initial bet gives you the ability to put down odds, which as lurch said, dilutes the edge, because the odds (on their own) are "true" odds, which means you're getting paid based on the probability of hitting (which obviously is never even money).
to be honest, if you're not playing full odds, especially because of financial restrictions, then you really should be playing the "hg" place bet system. it minimizes risk, and helps you at a table where guys, "just aren't hitting the point".

García and Guillén, meanwhile, both blossomed into multiple-time All-Stars.
while technically true, come on.
garcia was an all star twice, but was essentially a journeyman after some early success with seattle. guillen was never an all star with seattle, so i don't really care what became of him 9 years later in detroit. we gave up a lot to make it happen, but let's not paint it like we traded away willie mays and jim palmer.

my only issue with infinity war (if you can call it an issue) is that as a whole, it was definitely part of a bigger story. much like the middle lord of the rings or back to the future - it got me ready for the next one, but didn't love it as much as a standalone.
i would say infinity wars is my favorite sequel of any marvel movie, maybe any comic book movie. except superman 2. duh.

still iron man for me.
not sure it's that close, either.

Definitely had its moments, especially from Dom Irrera and Jeff Ross, but for the most part, this was a weaker roast. They need to get away from inviting celebrities, and just bring back comedians who are, you know, funny.
then people complain that the dais is filled with random comedians without any relation to the roastee. the best ones have a combination of both, but the unrelated comedians all have to kill it, or they shouldn't be there.

in most cases, it's not really about understanding how racism works, as much as understanding how social media works.
in my experience, young people are extremely short-sighted.

helo - to answer your question definitively, if the astros gave washington their 3rd, 4th, and 5th best system prospects, most astros fans would be furious, and that would be far and away the best offer washington would hear.
since you compared that to "letting him go for nothing", i would assume that's exactly what they're going to get for him - nothing. when he leaves after the season.

The Yankees have no interest in him, they may engage to drive up the price for other teams but that's it. I just can't imagine why the Nats would give him up for non-elite prospects. The Nats have talent they just haven't performed, and the bottom line is they have 2 months to make up 6 games for a playoff spot. Far crazier things have happened.
yep, the 11th best team in the national league has nothing to worry about.

the way bregs walks he might make the most sense. of course right now he makes the most sense at 1-2-3 (except he's also been ice fucking cold with the exception of one swing in denver). regardless of where you move springer, you need him to hit to win while our guys are hurt. moving him to 4th doesn't all of a sudden "solve" our offensive issues.
i would look into something like springer-kemp-bregman-gattis-yuli-reddick-marwin/davis-stassi-tucker. tucker needs to play every day or we need to send him down.
springer, bregs, and yuli have all been ice cold since the asb. altuve was too actually. his double in colorado made me think he was gonna come out of it. sigh.
