When some baseball players retire, they enjoy being able to break free from the constant cycle of exercise and watching what they eat. Judging by his transformed appearance, Sabathia has apparently enjoyed doing the complete opposite. Sabathia, 39, battled a number of health and wellness issues in the years leading to his retirement, including a recurring knee injury (he had surgery in 2016 but the pain continued to flare up), alcoholism (he checked himself into a rehab facility in September 2015), and a heart problem (he required a stent in 2018 to open up a blocked artery). He and the Yankees revamped his preseason training to focus on building strength in early 2018, shortly after he became a raw vegan. The Yankees, of course, can only longingly look at the photo of jacked Sabathia and wonder what their rotation would look like if they could slot him in. They could be upset that Sabathia decided to become totally jacked only after retiring, or they could look at this as an opportunity: if they endure another season of ceaseless pitcher injuries, Sabathia should be their very first call if they start to run out of warm bodies to send to the mound. https://sports.yahoo.com/cc-sabathia-has-missed-the-entire-point-of-retirement-by-getting-totally-jacked-153205683.html

Stay strong, Junior ! Thoughts and prayers for all.

Miss St vs SCar now on SEC Channel if you want to see Vic's team in action. Started at 9PM

Best of luck to Tuesday (Ft Worth native). She accepted her role and was a great teammate. UNT is building a solid program under second year Coach DeLong. We won 3-2 in 9 innings back in Feb. Dang, I miss softball (and baseball). Edit: UNT was 19-5 with victories over ULL and split a DH with OU.

Don't lease agreements have specific language about noise (barking), control of pets, and cleanliness after pets ? Can you share the specific issue ?

Agree with Twice, solid post by L&P. In the market for a vehicle, I have read numerous articles on CVTs. Link below. As L&P states, some make better than others. Probably can't expect the overall longetivity with a CVT, but most new vehicles with a regular transmission are going to the 8 or 10 speed for gas mileage and some also have issues. https://www.carfax.com/blog/CVT-pros-and-cons

Great observation ! Thought we would have won it all in '09 if there was a dedicated closer. Really hurt against LSU in Omaha. (The TCU dogpile was in '10, we beat them in '09 Super) The 25 inning game did not actually seem that long to me, relatively quick moving game, very nervous since we were visiting team. Check box score (below) only 11 walks. Note we had 20 hits but only 3 runs. https://stats.texassports.com/custompages/sports/m-basebl/2008-2009/austin-regionl4.html

Still very disappointed that Aston did not release a public statement after her departure. Know it is difficult, but you just do it. Even Charlie Strong and Connie Clark issued statements wishing success for the players and programs.

More details: Perhaps the multistate involvement is reason for Fed prosecution. BRENHAM, Texas — Former Blue Bell Creameries President and CEO Paul Kruse has been indicted on seven felony counts for concealing the deadly 2015 listeria outbreak on the same day the company plead guilty and agreed to pay a $19 million fine. Kruse has been charged with one count of conspiracy and six counts of wire fraud/attempted wire fraud. The company, meanwhile, will pay a $17.25 million criminal fine and a $2.1 million civil fine for selling tainted ice cream to federal facilities. “American consumers rely on food manufactures to take necessary steps to provide products that are safe to eat,” said Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt, with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Division. The Department of Justice alleges in a 17-page indictment that Kruse and other Blue Bell executives knew about the outbreak and did little to stop it. Instead, the DOJ alleges, Kruse attempted to conceal the contamination for months before it was made public. “From at least 2010 and continuing through April 20, 2015, Blue Bell executives, including Paul Kruse, knew that appropriate practices to ensure sanitary conditions were not being followed or achieved at the Blue Bell manufacturing facilities,” the indictment reads. Kruse is the only executive named. Listeria monocytogenes is a potentially life-threatening bacteria that contaminates food and cause serious sickness. Ten people across four states were sickened by the listeria-contaminated ice cream in 2015 and three people in Kansas died. The indictment alleges that Kruse and Blue Bell executives knew about potential contamination as early as 2010 in two of the company’s manufacturing plants: in Brenham, where it's headquartered, and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. That contamination stemmed from leaking roofs and condensation, according to a government inspection cited by the indictment. In 2011, an employee created a listeria-testing program to selectively test ice cream for potential listeria contamination. Twelve tests from finished product were sent away. Days before two tests came back presumptive positive for listeria, the indictment said, Kruse ordered an end to the program. Kruse was allegedly made aware in February 2015 that ice cream made at the company’s Brenham plant tested positive for listeria in South Carolina. For the next two months, the DOJ said, Kruse ordered Blue Bell executives and employees to hide the outbreak from retailers and customers, according to the indictment. Later, when ice cream was ordered to be removed from stores and other areas, Kruse allegedly told employees to let people know it was a manufacturing error without mentioning listeria. Blue Bell didn't issue a public recall until March 13, nearly two months after the Department of Justice said Kruse and Blue Bell were first notified some of their ice cream had tested positive for listeria. An email obtained by the Justice Department from a Florida school district to Kruse and other company executives read, in part, “the decision made not to inform (the school district) of this potential health risk and to try and quietly just pick-up the products gives the impression of deception and lack of integrity. These actions are contrary to our past experiences with Blue Bell Creameries.” For each of the seven counts, Kruse faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Blue Bell closed all its plants in April 2015 with the intent to clean and update all its facilities. In all, it recalled more than 8 million gallons of ice cream. The DOJ said that since reopening its facilities in late 2015, “Blue Bell has taken significant steps to enhance sanitation processes and enact a program to test for listeria prior to shipment.” In a statement released on its website, Blue Bell said: "Five years ago, we were heartbroken about the events that led to our voluntary recall of all our ice cream from the market. We faced a situation our company had never dealt with before, and our agreement with the government reflects that we should have handled many things differently and better. We apologize to everyone who was impacted, including our customers, our employees, and the communities where we live and work." https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/former-blue-bell-ceo-indicted-conspiracy-justice-department/285-5ae8633c-b879-4191-b7f5-3f5742184937 Not a bad guy, burnt orange tie 🙂

Yep, best to wait. Don't know, but with the factories closed dealers likely not motivated to move inventory except with extended financing incentives close to msrp. Most factories due to open in May. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/covid-19-automakers-plant-shutdowns-coronavirus-pandemic-outbreak/

This week's Forty Acres Insider email. Nothing new, just repeat of policy with reminder that 1 May is deadline. EXTENDED SEASON TICKET RENEWAL DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, MAY 1:It's also the final week for renewing Football season tickets with our extended May 1 deadline approaching. As I’ve said many times, we are beyond grateful for the passion on display by our loyal season tickets holders who are investing in our program by renewing. We know there are many more to come, and as we’ve said before, but to be sure everyone knows, rest assured that should the season get cancelled, or significantly altered, we will make an exception to our standard no-refund policy. Our dedicated Longhorn faithful will have the choice to have their investment returned, or to convert it (including the ticket cost) into a charitable contribution to the Longhorn Foundation. That said, we are in full preparation mode for an exciting Football season, so we hope you’ll make your plans to be with us this fall!

Thanks for posting ! Will be interesting. A cursory look at the bios (all female) reveals all are native Californians. Marder (tOSU '10) and Deniz (UCLA '02) are hitting coaches while Chelsea's (Cal '05) speciality is defense - worked wonders with ours. Have mixed emotions. Certainly would hate to lose her but support her in her career goals. To return to Cal as head coach would be special. Have confidence that MW would hire an outstanding replacement.

siap, 15 April AAS article. Texas coach Tom Herman wanted to hire his friend and former Kansas coach David Beaty for a low-level analyst job with the Longhorns before Beaty’s former athletic director cautioned UT against it. The details of the job offer were made public in court filings and first reported by the Kansas City Star. Beaty is suing Kansas Athletics, Inc., for $3 million in a wrongful termination suit. According to the Star, Beaty testified in February that he had been offered a job at UT, moved to Austin and had even received a UT staff identification number. It’s become commonplace around the country for head coaches to hire analysts, people who examine game film, prepare scouting reports for the full-time coaches and do self-scouting on their employer. Most times, these positions are filled by coaches who are between jobs. At UT, an analyst makes about $25,000. Before Beaty started work, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte called his Kansas counterpart Jeff Long as a courtesy, according to The Star. “Jeff stated at that point … ‘I wouldn’t do that if I was you. His behavior is egregious,’” Beaty testified. “‘It was definitely Level I.’ And that … I think it made Mr. Del Conte take pause.” A Level I infraction is considered the most serious by the NCAA. Beaty was later accused of a less serious Level II infraction, which was self-reported to the NCAA by Kansas. Ultimately, Texas did not hire Beaty. “I have no comment on that issue,” Del Conte told the American-Statesman on Wednesday. The university typically does background checks on all incoming hires. Historically, UT officials have steered clear of anyone under any possible NCAA cloud. Former football coach Charlie Strong had to fire one of his assistants the same day UT learned NCAA investigators were looking into his actions at a previous school. Beaty, Long and Kansas athletics are now entangled in a long-running legal battle over whether the school should pay the balance of his contract. Beaty was 6-42 in four seasons at Kansas from 2015-18. https://www.hookem.com/2020/04/15/report-kansas-ad-cautioned-texas-hiring-former-football-coach-david-beaty/

See below. Different in that the seasons had started. Seems they will need a rollover plan for LHF donations and season ticket purchases. • Turn what you’ve paid into a GIFT to the Longhorn Foundation, which financially supports services like nutrition, sports medicine, tutoring, travel and career services for all of our 500+ student-athletes. Most gift options to the Longhorn Foundation are tax-deductible. • If a gift is not possible for you, we can CREDIT your account for the remaining ticket and season parking purchase balance, which can be applied toward any University of Texas Athletics ticket purchase made before August 31, 2020, including 2020 football season renewals and new season ticket deposits. • If neither of those options work for you, you may request a refund for your remaining ticket purchase balance by Friday, April 3. Refunds will be processed beginning Monday, April 6.

True, my bad. Saw the article in the Statesman.

Lengthy article on fan reaction to the cancelled season with quotes from Scott Wilson and Marc Pena. But will highlight the best fan. Has to be a Surly member's child ? Note the sunglasses on the cap and wrist tape. 🙂 A few weeks ago, Gus Armbruster had planned on celebrating his seventh birthday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. A UT baseball game would have been the perfect setting for a birthday party for Gus, who is one of the Longhorns’ biggest — and at the same time, smallest — fans. One year ago, he turned six while watching Texas lose a 3-0 game to rival Texas Tech. With New Mexico being the scheduled opponent for this birthday weekend this time, Gus was going to root for a better result alongside family, friends and teammates from his coach-pitch team. Gus, though, never made it to the ballpark that Sunday. Neither did the Longhorns or Lobos. Three days earlier, the NCAA had canceled its spring championships as fears spread about the coronavirus pandemic. The following day, on March 13, UT’s entire baseball season was canceled. “As the season got canceled, he was just crushed,” said Gus’ father, Jason. “He didn’t understand it.” Baseball still consumes the life of Gus, who even wore his cleats on a fishing trip this week. His birthday party was moved to his home, but UT pitcher Kamron Fields stopped by and the family of infielder Lance Ford sent cookies. When outside, he has the playlist of the Longhorns’ walk-up songs to use while practicing baseball. While inside, he has recreated the Longhorns for his “MLB The Show 20” video game. His parents even scheduled an online hitting tutorial with former UT infielder Masen Hibbeler. “He’s ready for 2021,” Jason Armbruster said. The morning after each of UT’s canceled games, Gus will ask his parents for the result of the Twitter simulation done by UT fan @LanceJNorth. Not surprisingly, a Texas team that was 14-3 on March 13 hasn’t lost a fake game since its season ended. https://www.hookem.com/story/dischappointed-longhorns-fanatics-try-fill-void-caused-canceled-baseball-season/

Read an article he was a friend and greatly respected by Rittiman (outgoing coach) and his mentor is DW Rutledge, likely received their endorsement. Still, for such a prominent program...

From this week's Forty Acres Insider by CDC. And how about the "_____ is the reason I became a Longhorn Fan" campaign ? So may great responses including our shortstop Trey Faltine's photo with the late, great Augie Garrido. We miss our Longhorn Legend every day and Trey' tribute was truly special. https://texassports.com/news/2020/4/14/forty-acres-insider-april-14.aspx

Re: js' post above. UW made the decision based on the fact the Seniors would graduate before Spring '21. "UW Athletics places tremendous emphasis on its student-athletes earning an undergraduate degree and having a great competitive experience," Wisconsin officials said in the statement. "In the case of the UW spring student-athletes to which the NCAA's waiver would apply, a substantial percentage of the student-athletes are scheduled to earn their degrees before next spring. In spite of today's uncertainties, we will do everything possible to support our student-athletes as they work toward those degrees. "The athletic department has made the decision to not pursue waivers that would extend the eligibility of our senior student-athletes. Student-athletes in their fourth year of eligibility have concluded their careers with us. This group of student-athletes has our full support up to, including and beyond graduation. They are Badgers for life and we are greatly appreciative of the way they have represented our department and the university." https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/29017965/wisconsin-bring-back-seniors-spring-sports-next-year CDC's comments. Seems key will be acceptance to grad school which he says is being worked by the academic staff.

For those that may not have seen, below is an interview with Vic. Really enthusiastic, great personality, great fit. FF to 11:45 for nice comments about the oft maligned Chris Plonsky. 🙂

Understand and agree. But always the angle of fair treatment, imo.
