You don't know me

I hate when people that decide that they need to make rule changes to make the game easier for some players. If they think that the game is boring with guys hitting into the shift, maybe those guys should learn to hit the other way.

Reflections, ESPN graphics, LIVE in the upper right hand corner at the beginning that he moved out of the picture... Yeah, pretty sure that it's against some sort of law broadcasting ESPN content without their consent.

Well, obviously if you don't do/act exactly like the person that created that list does, then you're in for eternal damnation.

I'm going out on a limb (sarcasm) and picking Harper at home.

Cardinal fan here (yeah, fuck all of you), so I'm going to stick with the NL Central. Cubs: Anthony Rizzo with an honorable mention to Addison Russell for the nacho incident. Reds: Joey Votto Brewers: Christian Yelich Pirates: Jameson Taillon It was a little difficult for me to come up with one for the Pirates with McCutchen no longer there. He killed the Cardinals, but just seems like a really good dude. But Taillon did an interview on the big sports radio station here in STL during one of their trips here this year. He talked about being diagnosed with cancer and really wants to spread the word to get checked. Really solid guy.

I don't think that we're looking at anything quite as bad as the 70s. The farm system is actually very solid. They are stacked with arms. I think that they just need to build a team for defense and pitching rather than going out and trying to get a bunch of hitters. The problem is that they have shitty defense. Hell, what do I know. Maybe we are heading into a 70s type run.

I've had the weekend to digest this and have really only got myself pissed off even more. It was time for Matheny and his BFF to go, that's for sure. The blame for the sorry state of this franchise should not be laid entirely at Matheny's feet, though. This is the first time that this ownership group has fired a manager mid-season. Think about that for a second. I think that this is Mo and possibly Girsch going into preservation mode. If the firing had waited until the end of the season, then Mo and Girsch would have likely been fired too. However, since they did it now and named in interim manager, the people that are responsible for this clusterfuck of a roster have bought themselves at least another year. If Shildt is somehow able to put the dumpster fire out (finish above .500 for the second half would be deemed a success by an interim manager), they they can say "see, the roster that we put together was good enough". They will then look for a new manager and possibly make a run at Girardi. If Shildt is not successful, then they'll simply point at him and say "he just wasn't ready". If Shildt pulls a rabbit out of his hat, then they still retain their jobs and Shildt gets the interim tag pulled. Mo at a minimum and possibly Girsch should have been shitcanned along with Matheny and his BFF. The timing of this just reeks of self-preservation.

Except for Taysom Hill being there. I do not want to see him for eternity.

They will make a run for Girardi first.

Then be happy that he has millions in the bank and can get back to coaching at a more appropriate level. I am sure there is some t-ball team that would have him.

Just saw it. About fucking time. Too bad Mabry wasn’t sent with him. Well, I stand corrected. Mabry gone too.

But what about the shocker?

Probably just swap Mabry and Matheny. That sounds about right.

Yeah, I know, water's wet and all that.

But what about the rest: "She routinely leaves her dishes on the counter beside the sink and not uncommonly eats at the table and simply gets up and walks away leaving her dish on the table." What I got out of that post is that she will get onto him for putting dirty dishes in the sink while she will leave her dirty dishes on the table and counter. A bit (lot) hypocritical, but kind of typical.

Just ties the whole room together.

Why would someone send another person chicken feces?

That pleased you, or wrong thread?

Yes, it is BS. A Ranger in a “Ranger Unit” would be in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Not long after I got out I worked with this youngster (mid 20's) that really talked like he had served. He never straight out said that he served, but the way he talked it did seem like it. Then one day he said that he had been a MSgt. At that point I did have to come right out and ask. Turned out that he was a cadet MSgt in AFROTC.

Wait... so there are coyotes AND panthers in the neighborhood?

The Garanimals crack was more about him being a little fella, but okay.

Someone should probably inform him about Garanimals.

I wonder how many times she screamed "Don't you know who I am?"

Pacman must have cost him a win in fantasy football at some point. Why else would he have "made a gesture". Fantasy football is serious business.
