  1. I don’t want to fire Dana but he needs a team President Luhnow to help create the plan. I’m not terribly familiar with his flaws, but I want Kevin Cash. That’s an organizational problem. If you’re going to throw up your hands and claim “every team is suffering from this,” I’m going to rebut that the team who proactively solves it is going to win championships. Maybe player health isn’t predictable but team health is. We KNOW there needs to be extra starters for this very reason.
  2. This has really been an awful year as a fan and I don’t think it’s because we are spoiled by winning-we are spoiled by relatively good management. Let’s hope we see some strategic thinking in the off-season and a little luck wouldn’t hurt.
  3. I don’t know if you’ve seen their ad created with $10m of the donations but it’s terrible. You should ask for your money back.
  4. I think the cake is mostly baked there-Trump will blame Harris regardless and his voters will follow suit. Harris actually has the potential to message this as “the higher prices you see because of the strike are just a taste of what you’re going to see under the Trump tariff plan.” Her voters will agree with it and the media will run with whatever they think gets their viewers pissed off enough to watch more pundits blathering.
  5. I would easily take on $30k-$50k debt to avoid those schools mentioned in favor of CU. Have you been to Lubbock? It’s like an episode of The Walking Dead when the kids aren’t in school.
  6. I got three texts just during the debate. Apparently Kamala can’t do this without me, which I’m totally honored by of course, but I wonder what plan B is when I ignored it.
  7. Petition to change the thread title to “Israel vs Errbody War Thread”?
  8. Wishful thinking, amigo. Maybe it’s being stocked by the same management who decided these were a good idea…
  9. I’m glad we switched conferences because of the upgrade in competition, but I saw this at the Co-Op Sunday and it’s very Aggie:
  10. Not get side tracked, but that was also a sublime moment because those Seattle teams were a bunch of assholes coached by a bigger asshole.

    Mexican

    So not entirely Mexican, but we went to Bar Toti last night (it’s from the Suerte/Este folks and adjacent to Este). Anyway, it was terrific-all day happy hour on Monday helped keep the cost tolerable and the hongos a la plancha were a highlight.
  12. Well now I’m a little jealous because I’ve twice voted in the Republican primary purely to have the satisfaction of voting against Cruz an extra time. Using that as kindling would have made my weekend.
  13. I feel like I've heard that before.....
  14. I first found Casa De Luz after seeing the raves on Yelp years ago and risked taking a lunch date there. For me, it’s 5 different ways to over-boil squash with a Scandinavian aversion to anything resembling spice or heat. If you’re craving something that approximates 17th century gruel four weeks into crossing the Atlantic then it’s a good spot for that.
  15. @Gil Bang has never met a problem a couple of travel nurses couldn’t fix…
  16. Lack of faith in the American electorate, imo. Can’t imagine why, of course.
  17. It’s funny that I’ve spent more time reading this thread than I did attempting to watch the show.
  18. That would be awesome but good luck getting a PIW right now. Fannie and Freddie tightened eligibility requirements for automated underwriting software and I mostly can’t get borrowers to meet them, even with 30%-40% equity in purchase made 12 months ago.

    Gumbo

    I usually cook the slime out of my okra but it still thickens a little bit, too. I actually prefer it a little less thick, personally. It's not etouffee.
  20. Fredericksburg is so weird. The residents are typically very friendly, the town is charming, it's the rare small town in a rural area that's thriving in the 21st century, plus tons and tons of outside investment and high-earning immigration. It's like all that is cover for the Klan.
  21. I had Adams for American Lit since 1910 (subtitle was "God is dead"). Unfortunately I got on his bad side taking another student's graded paper and my own to point out the inconsistency in his grading (admittedly hers was better but not THAT much better). Plus he gave me a B+ on an essay on mechanism in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and a B on another paper I wrote on Jesus' Son. I spent 15 hours on the former and maybe two on the latter and I would've given myself an A+ on the former and no better than a C on the latter. This was in 2001, mind you. Clearly I'm over it.
  22. Miller’s not a Dem and most of his guests are Never-Trumper Republicans. It’s really weird-I think it’s a strong place to attack, particularly coming from the right.
  23. I think it’s #1 but I’m always surprised I don’t see it written about, talked about on podcasts, etc. Maybe the media exhausted themselves over it in 2018 and I was paying less attention. I’ve probably listened to Tim Miller on the Bulwark podcast and Pod Save America 80 hours over the last month and they’ve definitely talked about #2-#5 but nothing on Russian “investments”.
  24. I'd love a recommendation for a pool resurfacing pro in Austin if anyone has one.
  25. That’s just because Tucker is aloof. I hope we offer him market but it’s easier to get average production in the outfield and upgrade elsewhere. One thing I want to take a closer look at is our peers bench production. We’ve got probably 800 at bats with, at best 650 ops. Some of that is bad luck (I wouldn’t expect Chas to repeat last year but this level of production is unexpected), but it’s also a place to upgrade for a low relative cost.
