    You guys just aren’t very good. I think probably the worst AL tram to make the playoffs. That’s not shit talking or a slight- it’s not like anyone had y’all at good odds to be up 2-1 in the ALCS, and it’s not like management made any big moves before the season, or went all in at the trade deadline, on the belief that you guys were a legit contender. 
    The thing I don’t know about your guys is- is this a team poised to be really good in the future?  Or is it just biding time and bouncing around?  
    I’m not a Boston fan but I don’t have anything against y’all either- if the AL East is binary between you and the Yanks I will always root for y’all. 
    what is the prognosis?  What’s the future look like for y’all? 

    Solid core. Need to develop internal talent like we did before. Good trades, but lost part of the old team. Betts, JBJ, etc. 

    We should not have been in the ALCS. But we found a way. Bats went quiet at the wrong time and I think someone fucked with Jobu's rum. Middle relief would be nice, and our closer just sucked at the end of the year so could not rely on him. 

    Fuck the Yankees.

  2. This was a damn good run. Sure I wanted it all, but it was more than expected. 

    Woke up this AM and first thought was what do we need? Good point about having Sale and Evo for the whole year. But I think we need to get 1 more starter. 

    Fuck it, bring on 2022. Will be expecting the thread and in on page one. Go Sox. 

    I think I am going to slam a beer and listen to Tessie.

    okay, so they had good intentions and maybe weren't just trying to convert...but who the FUCK takes kids including an 8 MONTH OLD BABY into a place like that?? stupid fucking naive people. damn. 

    Seen it a lot. Central America, Afghanistan, you name it. A- Husband or wife get a job. Partner wants to go. Kid cannot stay alone, whatever, always a reason. I have seen three year olds on reconstruction sites after the 1986 earthquake. Place was a mess. Disease, little water, but we thought little jimmy would learn so much. 

    The issue is not so much taking kids to these areas. It is that they do not think they need to prepare a security operation, keep it quiet, etc. Nah, they want to sing Kumbaya on the plane and tell everyone exactly what they are doing. They announce it on Facebook. Now they are giving the other groups, and there are a lot in Haiti, inspiration to do the same. If for any reason the media attention in the international world. If we pay up, more get kidnapped. And really? How ya going to build an orphanage while carrying my 8 month old? 

    I feel the same way about people who want to do adventure tours into places like Mali on their own. Something goes wrong why should embassy security personnel risk their asses for you? They have jobs and take them away from that puts the entire mission at risk. 

    And to be honest. I wanted to take my son to Kabul when he was 12 for a two day trip. I had a very secure compound on the back of the airport so did not even have to go to the main roads. Damn good security personnel, etc. He would have had a blast. He knew all our expat security team since they stayed at our house in Dubai when they transited through for leave. Still with that set up I never did. One reason that stuck in my brain was I would never be able to focus on the two day meetings and we were never leaving the compound.

    What a terrible story.

    On the one hand, it was an accident. On the other hand, Alec Baldwin was holding a gun when it fired and killed someone. Which means he was pointing the gun at someone and very likely pulled the trigger, thinking it was safe.

    So it was an accident but it was the result of complete stupidity.

    If that happened to an average person at home, not a celebrity on a movie set, wouldn’t they be charged with involuntary manslaughter?

    This is why I asked if he was detained. Does not look like it. Yeah I know, Hollywood.
