Yeah I get that and was on the same page as you. But I dunno, I like that Grealish has a bit of that fuck you up and also zero fucks to give energy. Reminds me of this guy and this story -- https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/how-diego-costa-introduced-himself-at-chelsea-i-go-to-war-you-come-with-me-10422306.html Mourinho's Figo comparison isn't a bad one, but obviously Grealish has a long way to go to get there.
I like Grealish a lot and think he is a budding superstar. But yeah, with the current composition of our squad, the PRIORITY needs to be a forward. So don't spend heavily elsewhere and then have FFP issues bidding on the forward.
Stories like the one we just saw over the past couple of days is why vaccine hesitancy blows my mind. Sorry if I'm venturing into CR territory. Glad that it's going to end up well for a member of the Surly mafia.
Feroze is back with another UCL commemorative. I still get chills from the Napoli miracle, the Torres semifinal goal vs Barca, and the Drogba penalty on the first video.
This boom is ridiculous. We had a ton of damage due to the freeze, and have to rebuild entire chunks of the house, including the kitchen. I really thought my insurance was being reasonable until I started getting GC bids that are twice the insurance payout...all blaming increased materials costs.
Damn sorry to hear that. On the bright side, I think Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J each had zero hospitalizations for vaccinated people in their trial data and are doing a decent job against the new variants as well. So, hopefully your immune system kicks this bastard's ass in short order.
Been a CFC fan since the Zola days, so definitely remember the Coors Jersey. Thought we had moved on the Autoglass jerseys by 1998 (when we won the Cup Winners Cup) but maybe I'm misremembering. Don't really wear jerseys or have any more space to display them, but hopefully one of the other Surly CFC squad takes you up on your offer.
Wasn't in this league but remember that season. Just looked it up and yeah, his ERA+ was an obscene 641. Low key one of the greatest RP seasons in recent memory. Only Gagne and Britton come to mind as better (there might be others).
Pretty sure it's high across the board, because batting average is so low and the trend of batters willing to deal with increased Ks to try and hit for more power continues.
I'm not quite 40 yet, so remember Gwynn but didn't see a lot of him in game situations because I grew up abroad. But his baseball card was the ace in the deck in a lot of games. Best hitter in terms of getting base hits that I personally have seen a lot of might be Ichiro, who I would put in that GOAT tier.
