    Late to the party, but it's no coincidence that MLB dropped the Red Sox findings and "punishment" on the day it was announced that a group is trying to certify a class action lawsuit against MLB. Fuck Rob Manfred.

    Can't say we weren't warned

    Strawmen engaged. Full speed crazy ahead.

    Then there is the over-correction of when an incapacitated individual is taught to maintain a safe distance from others and to keep people out of your "safe zone." Hospital Officials are Struggling Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    Very worried about Philmont (mid-July) and Sea Base (early-August). At least I'll keep my record intact. I've never had a Philmont trek scheduled that wasn't canceled until the following summer.

    Off topic somewhat, but has anyone had to ask someone to back off and give some space? I was waiting in self checkout line at the grocery store the other day (sans mask to steer it somewhat back on topic) and some old fart rolls up right on my heels and I could tell he was really pleased at how uncomfortable he was making me. I had also just had an incident with a woman that practically climbed over my back to get to a bag of granola as if it was the last item on any shelf at Tom Thumb.

    Jimmy Wynn was my Astro Buddy every year I was an Astro Buddy. Flash forward a couple of decades and I was in the media room at the Dome when he came and sat down to eat with us. I told him he was my one and only Astro Buddy and every time I saw him after that he called me "Buddy." If you go to Wynn's Wikipedia page Here you'll see a reference to his appearance in the movie "Apollo 13." I was responsible for that video (not the Wikipedia entry). A party connected with the film called KTRK during their pre-pro requesting Astros video contemporaneous with certain dates and I located some in the archives, but not a lot. I had it dropped to half-inch tape and sent them the Wynn clips, including the one that wound up in the movie. Forgot all about it until I was sitting in the theater. He was a good dude.

    He didn't need to do anything but step back and let Trump trip all over his own dick. It was as easy as stepping-aside and watching the free-fall and subsequent finger pointing like the rest of us.

    He's simply not cut out for this. He's the exact wrong person for this job (never more so than now) and at the exact, wrong time. Even in the midst of an international crisis his thoughts and actions are driven solely by his need for approval and increasing his re-election chances. He has failed at every opportunity to lead because he doesn't know how to. His whole life he's always managed to lie, cheat, or scam his way out situations and he's finally met his match.

    Sure. If Nancy Pelosi tells him he can.

    "Bill O'Brien has traded away Clowney and Hopkins and somehow has ZERO first round picks. Not even fucking his own. LOL. That is inexplicable incompetence." What's the degree of difficulty in not landing at least one first rounder? Quite an accomplishment to pull that off.

    The very same David Johnson whose carries were so limited because of chronic ankle and back injuries that it forced the Cardinals to make a mid-season trade for Kenyan Drake last year.

    Me too. Listened to Nebraska-Miami on the way back to Houston and it just kept getting worse and worse. I was at that game as well. The wind was howling from the north and Rick McIvor was just slinging it when he had it to his back in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Fields was deep, behind Curry - which I have always believed was the first mistake. No one should have been back there to field the punt or Fields should have been where Curry was standing. Curry should have been lined up over a gunner.

    Nobody cares whether "they drop it." It isn't happening and the moral compass will soon point somewhere else. The fervor of these sanctimonious hypocrites will fade into the background when this moves from an "Astros scandal" to a Major League Baseball scandal. Until then, f'em.

    It would also be just like VG to have Kim set off a chain-of-events that leads to the accidental death of the old man. No one saw the humanitarian interaction after hours. The only witnesses saw her lose her temper with him. Even better if Jimmy comes up with the plan to physically evict the homeowner and then backs out. Jimmy doesn't learn that Kim went through with his plan until Howard calls to let him know that Kim is in jail and that she's retained Howard as her defense counsel. She's charged with murder and pleads down to involuntary manslaughter (no malice), loses her license, and is breaking rocks for the next 18-months.

    Jeremy knows that players are sending advantages from EoE because Natalie has already sent him one; but, even with Amber on EoE Jeremy didn't throw any weight behind putting Rob up for elimination, much less attempt to smoke out a potential advantage from Amber. He has certainly decided that it's better for his own game to have Rob in the game and to spare him while he can use him. I seem to recall that he did something similar in Cambodia.

    Jeremy saved Rob. Must be keeping him for challenges and as a meat shield. Don't know about Pavarti, but as seen last night Rob is stubborn and fiercely loyal to his alliance and only he can initiate their demise. He's never backed down an inch that I can recall and as soon as both Dani and Adam mentioned Pavarti they were done in Rob's eyes.

    My hope is that by "speak up" he means that a player with knowledge of one or more other franchises systematically stealing signs in similar fashion outs them and the details are confirmed by other players in the know so as to spread the focus from just the Astros. I say "hope," but it more likely means that shit hits the fan stands.

    Me likey. Would love it if it said "we drink your tears" beneath

    I received a notice from Philmont that our Summer 2020 trek would not be in jeopardy because of the bankruptcy. The funny thing is that the email arrived before they announced they had filed for bankruptcy protection. I did Philmont with my son last summer and had the time of my life. Going back there with my daughter this summer and I'm raring to go, right now. I can't wait to get out of base-camp and on the trail.

    The parties could always stipulate it being admissible. It would need to have probative value for both.

    If I had nothing to do in this world but fuck with Mike Fiers, I would. I'd start by training rats to run to the center of a baseball diamond to the pitcher's mound upon their release. Just keep repeating their training over and over again so that they run to the mound every time looking for a treat. Purchase a seat on the rail down either foul line and surreptitiously release them during Fiers' warm ups. Kick back with a cold one. Enjoy.

    I was expecting Adam to break out an autograph book
