  1. Keep up. He's a level 48 necromancer. Christ almighty, it's like I'm playing cards with my brother's kids or something.
  2. Judgmental people that make snap decisions on whether they like someone based on looks or where they come from. Oh wait, that's me being judgmental of judgmental people. Fuck.
  3. Do you all think we see Masyn Winn get real playing time this season?
  4. Yeah, bottom line for me is that the umpires fucked it up. I will also concede that the Cardinals' announcers sounded like morons on that call. Chip has irritated me a bit more each broadcast. I normally like Brad Thompson, but he got just a tad over emotional when Mikolas was tossed.
  5. Payback for a HBP, even unintentional, was part of baseball from the very beginning. I am not saying that they weren't operating within the rules. I guess what I am saying is that it really wasn't that big of a deal. He didn't hit Happ in the head. He didn't throw at his head. He hit him on the ass. Happ wasn't going to miss any time because of that. Contreras, on the other hand, very well could have missed more than a day or two after getting hit by Happ's long ass swing. The umpires just handled the entire situation shitty, as usual. If they had done the right thing, both benches would have been warned after the first inside pitch. If they had done that, I highly doubt that Mikolas would have hit Happ. Yeah, I am old school about baseball. The game has changed a lot. ETA: Who really gives a shit? Meaningless game for the Cardinals. They just suck. Probably some frustration bubbling to the surface for Mikolas.
  6. I wanted to add some context. He is not as bad as Ozuna, but Happ has a long swing and does hit the catcher from time to time. The biggest issue that I have with this is how the umpires "handled" it. They should have issued warnings to BOTH benches after the first pitch was inside. Mikolas hit Happ in the ass and Happ took it in stride.
  7. I am of the opinion that he should not have been thrown out of the game. What should have happened was the umpires issue warnings to both benches after the first pitch was way in after Contreras went down. Then on the next one they would have been justified in throwing him out. In fact, I believe that Mikolas was expecting warnings after the first pitch. Then when they didn't come, he said fuck it and hit him. Then again, I guess I'm old and think pitchers should be more like Nolan Ryan and Bob Gibson and protect their teammates.
  8. Horrible strike 1 and 2 that forced him to swing at that last shitty one for the DP. What I would really like to know is why Marmol just sat on his ass and let his player get tossed like that.
  9. Yeah, I'm the guy that starts the video and then does actual work in another browser. If I actually watched them it would have been painful.
  10. You poor bastard. Actually, it isn't impossible. Improbable, but not impossible. My fear is that they are going to fuck around and do just good enough to give bowtie some hesitation and then not sell fast enough.
  11. I have sat through many mandatory hours of his IT Security videos.
  12. "The 29-year-old remains stuck in an Airbnb while police investigate allegations that she raised her voice to a male employee at a car rental company following a dispute." The real problem is in bold above.
  13. Neither is the booze part. Certain hotels have bars. A westerner can fairly easily get a drink in Dubai. When I was working in Kuwait, my wife came over for a week or so. We were on a plane to Dubai almost as soon as she landed. I've had better "vacations", but compared to Kuwait it was Vegas.
  14. Too late to edit... I also wanted to add that on one of my last visits to see my dad before he passed, I had a strong indication that he felt like it may be the last visit for us. At least possibly the last visit where he could still get out and show me things. He had me driving all over northeast Mississippi going to all of the cemeteries where we have relatives buried. Very somber experience.
  15. My dad died about 10 years ago. One of the boxes of things that I got contained a bunch of newspaper clippings from the Tupelo Daily Journal. No major news stories, but I guess they had names of people that he either knew or maybe relatives of people that he knew. They were also laminated.
  16. I tell people in Missouri (where I now live) that the BBQ sucks here and that Central Texas BBQ is far superior.
  17. Seriously though, I'm seeing 49" ultra-wide monitors from the low end of $700 up to a couple of grand. I have 3 external monitors for my laptop. One I connect to the HDMI port on my computer. Another one plugs into my USB-C port. The other connects to the DVI port on a port replicator thing that I bought and connects to one of my regular USB ports. I don't do any heavy graphics stuff, so it works fine for me.
  18. And I JUST fucking got it! Username and all. Old, forgetful and slowing down on the mental things. It sucks getting old.
  19. Never really thought of it that way. When I was in the Marines I'd wear a digital Ironman or something like that, but never had a "nice" watch. She definitely made me clean up a little bit.
  20. Never really wore a watch much when I was younger. Wife gave me one on our wedding day and I've worn it every day since (22 years).
  21. I don't want to speculate about what he had going on, but here's an article where he opens up about his struggles. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2704984-david-freese-describes-struggles-with-depression-alcohol#:~:text=As Freese told Bob Nightengale,t care about my life.
  22. Yeah, I have heard the same. Hometown kid playing for the hometown team and becoming a hometown hero made for some problems that he may not have had away from STL.
