  1. wow, he got hit in the head with a skateboard and became lightheaded. Holy shit.
  2. He does, however, know a shit ton about being a smug son of a bitch.
  3. It's weird, but I don't feel a day over 100.
  4. Been the bench coach for a few seasons. I think he was the 1st base coach at one point too. Been in the organization for a while. He only played minor league ball for a few seasons before they told him "you know, you'd probably be a better coach than a player". Here we are.
  5. Except for the fact that he's going to live with this the rest of his life. I can't imagine how I would handle that.
  6. Huh... I thought the bump was because it folded before any games were played.
  7. You can also head over to the Lincoln Memorial and other national landmarks. Check out Marine Barracks next time you're there. The evening parade is amazing.
  8. Something else to consider... You know that Dewitt and Mo would not have made this move without Wainwright and Yadi both signing off on it.
  9. I am hearing rumors that Shildt wanted Jeff Albert gone and Mo loves him some JA.
  10. Yeah, Mo should have been the first to get shitcanned.
  11. Yeah, the jokes were expected. For a little context and background: We are taking over a club that has been in existence for about 20 years or so. The person that ran it before us kind of let it go for the last 2 or 3 years. Registration numbers were very small pre-Covid and Covid certainly did not help. He let our tournament date get away from us, so we've had to work to get that back. I have had 2 boys wrestle for the high school (one graduated in 2020 and the second is in his senior year now) and I have another 2 that are interested in wrestling - one in 6th grade and the other is in 3rd. I've been kind of involved helping the high school coach with keeping score, running tables for tournaments, stuff like that for the last 5 years. I've seen that we do have decent numbers on the high school team, but the better programs in the state have much larger participation. One school in particular has over 100 kids in the wrestling room every year. We, on the other hand, have about 20-30. We typically have more kids on varsity than we do on JV. About this time last year, the high school coach asked if I would be interested in helping out with the youth program because he wanted to give it a re-boot. So, here we are. I know you guys are just messing around, but there really are no bad intentions. The high school coaches are going to be running the youth practices. This will get these kids familiar with the way they work and hopefully have them ready for high school wrestling as freshmen. He's just trying to build the program up from where it is now, which is not horrible, just not where it could be. He's been good to my boys and I feel an obligation to help as much as I can. He turned the older one into a 2 time state qualifier and the one that's a senior now is in a good position to wrestle in the final match on the last day of the state tournament this year. Neither of my boys that have wrestled for him started until 7th or 8th grade, so their success is entirely on him and how he developed them. So yeah, I kind of got roped into this, but I did say "sure" when asked.
  12. Hoping for an attorney to register their kid on Sunday. If not, then I'll be calling around town for someone really nice and willing to help us out.
  13. Not yet. Edit to add: I fully expected something similar to this as the first response, so kudos to you. What I should probably say is that we are working closely with the high school wrestling program. We're in Missouri, where high school wrestling is kind of a big deal, not quite to the same level as Iowa, but more so than when I left Texas. The very successful high school programs up here have very strong youth programs, which is why we are doing this. Good intentions, all that.
  14. Hopefully there is someone on here that has done this before. We recently started a youth wrestling club in town. I have registered the name with the state, got an EIN from the IRS and opened a bank account. I have also registered the club with AAU. My concern, however, is how to proceed. Do I need to register as a non-profit somehow? Also, how can I be certain that board members' personal assets will be protected if something were to happen?
  15. Did anyone NOT see that coming? Reyes in a pressure situation? Fuck.
  16. Yadi is just getting a few days of rest, right?
  17. You are exactly right. Matheny was stubborn. He also wasn't great with the press. Honestly reminded me a little bit of Mack.
  18. That and he's WAY better than the last guy we had.
