    Shot my 2nd career 68 at Great Hills on Tuesday. 5 birdies and 2 bogies (par 71), I haven't been playing much or practicing at all...but I hit the center of a lot of greens, two putted for birdie twice, and made a couple.

    I think it's the original Domain, rebranded...so like California Pizza Kitchen to Nieman Marcus.

    You can do select/travel baseball sensibly, it's just that you have to be careful that you're putting your kid in the right situation...because lots of teams don't do it sensibly. My son plays 9U Majors (so as serious as 9U baseball gets) and he still has 4 months of the year where he doesn't throw a baseball at all. He plays flag football and both winter and summer basketball. Now, the flip side is, we've had 4 different pitchers throw 85+ pitches against us, and I've lost track of the number of kids that have thrown curve balls...which should both be considered child abuse at this age.

    Hmmm, I never thought about that. I played a good deal of poker at the boats in college, would just have a beer and wait for "boarding" if I got there early, but no limit wasn't popular yet...so it was all limit games. It never occurred to me that the chip buying limits would impact NL game size, but it makes sense.

    The KU board used to have a regular poster (a firefighter) that literally died in a fire. And some posters there still use "Die in a Fire" in these kill yourself situations. So uncomfortable.

    Sexual assault joke? Billy Preston joke? Too vague to tell.

    Yeah, the idea that Self would be a good candidate for a rebuild and the RC Buford relationship is what has always made the Spurs seem like a good fit if/when their window closes and Pop hangs it up, even though they've some kept it perpetually open for the better part of 20 years.

    That picture makes me want a jalapeño and banana pudding.

    He was a little douchier than I'd hoped for at the Q&A, left the moderator hanging a few times. But he was pretty funny.

    Dude, you can't cum using a tailpipe at 4 times the legal limit. I mean uh...that guy is weird.

    Yeah, they've gotten a little rain.

    I still love it. Taught my daughter when she was 10, and refreshed my wife who now keeps the book for my son’s games. Very little in life beats a summer evening, a cold beer, a top of the first, and a clean scorebook to fill in.

    It might be worth metioning that there is no distinction here between public and private communication on Snapchat in this situation. The psycho gets notified of who took screenshots in either situation. So your retaliation risk should be appropriately evaluated even if you only disclose information from his (public) story.

    I've had lots and lots of sports bets over the years that came down to the very end (the point spread is efficient and all), but two large-ish bets stick out in my head; one win and one loss both on pretty rare plays with under a minute left. I was laying 2.5 with the Colorado Buffaloes a few years back, they score a touchdown to take a two point lead...aaaaaand miss the extra point. I was fading the Cowboys on (I'm pretty sure) Monday Night Football and late in a game that my bet was rarely live the Cowboys are covering by a point facing 4th down inside their own 5. Snapped it out of the end zone on purpose to take the safety / free kick / field position instead of risking a punt. Easy winner.

    If Pop decides he’s done and Self took the Spurs job, Chris Mack is basically my entire (gettable) list.

    I flew to Vegas just to bet Mayweather against McGregor. Had to figure out the process for wiring money to the cage, etc. My biggest bet on a sporting event by a lot. I considered it more investment than gamble, but with that much money in play I was a nervous wreck all day.

    About 4 hours away.

    If you've never owned one, it's not surprising you have a negative opinion, I suppose...but gas grills are roughly as hard to regulate temperature in as an oven. I personally cook chicken breasts and (usually) burgers on gas. Steak, bone-in pork, and wings goes on the BGE. Some stuff that's slightly better on charcoal still gets the gas treatment if we're grilling late for whatever reason, the convenience of the gas grill being 700* in 4 minutes is hard to overcome.

    In the late 90s, when the blue album came out, every college student I knew loved them. Then Amber happened, and we all tried to forget.

    The side TVs in my game room are LGs (42"), and I've been happy with them. One of them is DirecTV and one Apple TV (mostly streaming ESPN, MLB, NFL), so absolutely no experience with WebOS.

    You’re probably good now. I only did a few lower temp cooks to break mine in, and it’s still fine...years in. I prefer stainless on grills in general, so I’m no help on the cast iron question.

    I agree with you on Dax but not Carter. That dude was a stud at both ends and was a perfect fit to Huggins style. He often talked about how soft the team was last year, and that was WITH Carter playing ~62 minutes a night. Take him off that “soft” team and Huggins murders at least 3 players.

    Had a discussion about Scorcese movies last night and stumbled into an unpopular opinion I hold... I like The Departed better than Casino and Goodfellas.

    Is your digestive tract gonna dance for a meaningless stop after the BBQ has quit trying to hurt you?

    Meh, I don't like tomato juice. So while I love the theory behind a Bloody Mary, I've never done more than taste them when people assure me "OMG THIS ONE'S AWESOME".
