Jac's sub .500 OPS isn't doing it for ya huh?
Bringing Cags up when we did was a swing at a pitch low and away.
Depends if he gets hot between now and the ASG. If he doesn’t he probably gets sent down. He’s had a couple homers this week so if it took him a month to figure it out then I think that’s worth the payoff. I read he’s taken better AB’s the past couple games, too. It’s probably just homers getting excited about a coupl homers this week but maybe it’s not!

I think Trump nominated this guy to be an ambassador. It could be trolling but I think it’s real.

The right is losing their crap over Zohran because he ran a really effective progressive campaign, not because he's a Muslim
I don't know bud, I read way too much from "the right" and they are absolutely terrified of Muslims taking over the country. Most believe Europe is already lost. Progressives are mere annoyances compared to the holy war

My top targets of who we could get without giving much up but would be an upgrade in the outfield are the following.

I think newscum is a talented public speaker/debater. However, he’s recently been trying to find common ground with the likes of Steve Bannon so I’m out on him. There’s enough good, young talent (I.e. Shapiro, Whitmer, Mayor Pete, etc.) to get behind than someone who would sell their soul like that.

« on: July 01, 2025, 01:51:37 PM »I've never had it before, even after for sure being in poison ivy. I guess it's pretty common to get it for the first time later in life.
First started showing symptoms 8 days ago.
It started on my forearms.
Then it showed up on my legs.
Now a huge rash on my neck.
I think it's coming for my face next.
WTF is happening?! Why poison ivy, why are you doing this to me?
Any magic cures or remedies I should know about? Anti-itch creams including calamine lotion have done next to nothing so far.
if its spreading that much, I would head to urgent care asap and get a shot.
Do it! The shot is steroids!

I saw a This Is Spinal Tap gif on social media last week and realized I had never seen it and I've since added it to my movie que.
Here's a gift link to a New York Times piece ranking the 100 best movies since 2000 that I really enjoyed. I added several movies to my movie que that I'm too embarrassed to share. It shared movies I've surprisingly never seen, movies I've forgot about and am reconsidering and several I don't even recall. Another cool feature about it is that they surveyed 500 actors to come up with the list so you can see Mel Brooks favorite movies and so on.

Time to give the unrelated next batter brain damage, I'm just old school like that.
No, never. Wait until the offender is up again and give him the brain damage. That way it's ethical.
There are a lot less fights in baseball today. Probably why they’re willing to break unwritten rules. The appropriate response is to plunk players more.

« on: June 25, 2025, 01:08:47 PM »The more I consider it the more I think it's mainly in regards to baseball. Act like you've hit the ball before my goodness. I know people will say it's about fun and passion but to me, and old person, it comes across much more lame in baseball.
None of those football celebrations bothered me and I did like the beer chugging ones. One football thing I do think is dumb is the entire defense running to the end zone and posing after every turnover. Also all the turnover props are unoriginal and lame now. It was fine when it was just a couple teams that did it but it was ruined quickly.
Yes, it’s an unwritten rule in baseball not to pimp home runs. It’s something that the youngsters do more and more and the old timers grimace or throw at the opposing team for it.

2 and 3 weeks ago we had that magical temp where it's neither hot nor cold. I prefer not to layer up so that's my favorite temp to run in.
I braved the heat today. I did my usual run front half. I walked a lot of the back half. I thought I was able to power through last summer, but I wasn't in the mood for that today. I ran some mornings before work last summer but not consistently. Definitely planning to revisit that. Hopefully it sticks this time.

Overlord is a pretty good movie if you appreciate it for what it is, a WW2 zombie movie with c-list actors. It helped that I recognized a couple of the actors from shows that I’ve liked. Production value was surprisingly decent.
