  1. @hornbri You will get through this and you can still live a full life. Not cancer, but my wife and I went through the same realization that life would never be the same back in 1988. She was in a bad car wreck, weeks in ICU and months in rehab from a traumatic brain injury. She was 34 then, she turned 70 yesterday. Nothing has been the same since but we hardly notice the concessions we have made to the past events. We lead a very nice life. Chin up, be her rock and carry on. You can do this together.
  2. He is the coach that I wanted for the WSU job when they stupidly gave it to the interim guy and set the program back 5 years. My best friend played for NWMS in the 90's and has remained close to their teams and staffs since graduating. He has nothing but praise for McCollum. I don't imagine it would take much to convince him to leave Drake when the time comes. That is, if the Drake job doesn't kill him first.
  3. Closer to even than I figured.
  4. Worse than MJ Melendez? I’ll give him a chance. Isbel can’t hit lefties, maybeWeimar can?
  5. Ragans with 2 TJS made me nervous all season long. Pretty sure he set a PR for innings pitched and Q let him go deep several times when I would have pulled him to save wear and tear. That speaks to the shitty bullpen mid season, I suppose.
  6. Bubic, Lynch and Marsh are on the clock. Somebody has to step up and fill the role. Singer had 10ish WAR over the last 3 years. India 3 in the same time. Just shows how bad the FO sees the need for offense. Kyle Wright should be healthy next spring. Maybe he can return to his former self and join the rotation. Seems like a bit of an overpay but I know zip about the OF guy that was included.
  7. I’m surprised it actually happened. Royals rotation was pretty healthy last year and Singer stayed as a 3-4 all year long. Wacha and Lugo aren’t likely to stay as healthy this year. Big gamble trading Singer but the lead off spot was a black hole of suck. I’m not used to a GM that will do shit like this. Or an owner. Cool.
  8. The rare event that feels like a "hook'em" is correct from me. Glad to hear it.
  9. They just don't make pumpkins like they used to.
  10. Is anybody else watching for the unveiling of the new generation of Scouts? I'm guessing it will borrow from the 800 series more than the Scout II but I'm still excited. https://www.scoutmotors.com/ This is the one that I posted years ago on the other site. It had a small 6 cylinder and 4-speed. It is in my son's possesion now and he had it converted to an LS motor and some Corvette transmission. It hauls ass now.
  11. Pretty sure it was @Brisketexan. Spiral staircases are no match for a bird.
  12. Big Boy is in Kansas now. We were going to see it in Salina but I see that it is going to go through Grainfield, Kansas on Sunday. That is where YGIFS's in-laws live and he and I had several conversations about the desolate nature of the area and general rubelike populace. I figure we will mosey up that way on Sunday and I'll pour one out for Lobo somewhere around the tracks.
  13. I’m here now. Texting with my kids during the game. Good win. Gonna get two games at home now.
  14. Uh, ya gotta link or do I just search Amazon?
  15. Damn, Bruin, I missed this earlier. How are you getting along 6 months later? Better, I hope.
  16. I haven't read the thread in a bit but there is an autoimmune thread in this forum. There might be some helpful info in there. Good luck.
  17. The homely bitch in red is the only one that I wouldn't accept.
  18. Jesus Fuck, Nightengale is such a chode. Welp, I guess Houston can go ahead and plan to play Minny. Royals had a good run.
  19. According to the Chiefs beat writer for The Athletic: With less than a minute remaining, the Falcons faced a fourth-and-inches from the Chiefs’ 13-yard line. The Falcons lined up in a condensed formation featuring two tight ends and two running backs, similar to one they used in the second quarter to score a 1-yard touchdown. Before getting under backup center Ryan Neuzil, Cousin used a signal, using his hands to tap his helmet multiple times, to communicate with his teammates. “They saw us all kind of loading the box and they said, ‘Check, check,’” linebacker Leo Chenal said. “We knew that they were alerting to an outside run. (Linebacker) Nick (Bolton) just read it perfectly and took the shot.” Bolton, who suffered a lower back injury earlier in the fourth quarter, was the lone defender the Falcons didn’t block. He sprinted upfield behind Chenal, who created penetration against left tackle Jack Matthews and tackled running back Bijan Robinson behind the line of scrimmage for a 3-yard loss.“I saw that and cheated over a little bit,” Bolton said of the Falcons’ formation. “It’s a rule around the locker room: If a tight end is (supposed to block No.) 54, man, he’s going to set the edge for you. I saw Leo set the edge and I went off his butt and I made a play. I trusted the play call we had and I already knew where I was going on the snap.”
