  1. This entire album is excellent, but the percussion on this is stellar. Her voice is butta and her band is ridiculiously good.
  2. For non-automatic qualifiers it is. From a Baseball America article dated 5/16/24: "Florida and Mississippi have excellent tournament cases due to their elite strength of schedule (Florida is No. 2, Ole Miss is No. 1), RPIs (Florida is 30, Ole Miss is 24) and number of quadrant 1 wins (Florida has 11, Ole Miss has 12; only Kentucky and Tennessee have more than 12 nationally). Unfortunately for the Gators and Rebels, they are both flirting with .500 overall records (Ole Miss is 27-25 and Florida is 26-25) and a series loss this weekend would mean they must reach the SEC Tournament semifinals to have a winning overall record, a prerequisite for at-large teams. Both teams are playing less than 56 regular-season games (Florida has 54, Ole Miss 55), a decision that could come back to haunt them. I would suggest that if either team gets bounced from Hoover early, it would be worth exploring adding a non-conference game on the fly, though the logistics of such a play might be next to impossible.
  3. The NCAA.
  4. Regular Bulleit Rye is my go-to for Old Fashioned's. Lately I have been buying 1L bottles and mixing up a fridge batch in an old 1.75L bottle. My neighbor thanks me. My liver, not so much.
  5. Per Wikipedia, all of the missing years except the COVID year we lost in the regionals.
  6. Well, that's one positive way to spin it...
  7. Purple Aces starter made it 1.1 inning. Ouch.
  8. Yeah, this take is looking a tad chilly...
  9. I stand corrected.
  10. So apparently it wasnt the hitter for the bat spike but two coaches ejected, and both will be suspended tomorrow? That could come back to bite them.
  11. Clempson dong. Down one.
  12. Warning hill, apparently. Orthopedic surgeon's wet dream.
  13. Well done by the CF. He was playing in too. Great range.
  14. That decision not to change pitchers seems...unwise
  15. Two out, nobody on, intentional walk for Cags, and Wilson BOMBS one to center to make them pay! Gators back up 3, 3 outs away from Omaha.
  16. Likely because his team shat the bed for most of the regular season before seemingly finding themselves late.
  17. My daughter (no pics) is currently dogsitting for neighbors who are in Tulum. Family of 6, four daughters (again, no pics). Assuming they make it home safely, I will consider letting them know I monitored Surly for news of their possible kidnapping. Maybe.
  18. Perhaps you should blame this one on the meds too....
  19. Come on. It was Beanie Babies, wasn't it. You can tell us, you are among friends!

    Getting old sucks

    Is that from your pacemaker implant? Incision looks a tad medial…
  21. That looks like it doesn’t suck. Points deducted, however, for the fancy plate and lack of both a firearm and brown water. Still, respectable effort!
  22. Be sad Eddie won’t coach into his 90’s.
  23. This brings up a bad memory for me. I should have received a SEC championship Tag Heuer watch from Florida after my team won a conference championship, but the assistant coach in charge didn’t add me to the form (I was the team’s athletic trainer). The previous year they got rings, and I got that. This was a women’s team, so the men’s version was designed for coaches instead of players so it is wearable and not a monstrosity. That Tag would have made for a nice pairing. I was (and still am) the opposite of gruntled.
  24. My next door neighbors (couple and two teenage kids) have always been massive Disney people. So much so I know at least one year they bought season passes (you have to go ~28 days in a year to break even - they live in Nashville). About a month ago, the husband (4 days older than me, TX native) died from cancer. This week the rest of them are at Disney for their “rip the band-aid off” first trip without him. I personally wouldn’t wish WDW in the Summer on my worst enemy, but I hope their trip is in some way magical. Oh, and fuck cancer.
  25. This may be the most appropriate use of this meme ever.
