yes. don't read anything into the timing. all the people involved from the players, agents, and team front office personnel are dealing with holiday bullshit and are effectively on break until the new year.

Why? I don't think you'd get more for him at the trading deadline since he'd be a half-season rental at that point and I much prefer going into the 2025 season without all the drama around Tucker's contract situation. I am at peace with this deal and optimistic--we could not afford another Springer/Correa situation with the player walking without any assets returned to our system. 100% agree

Santander to the Astros is a pipe dream. He's going to the Yankees of course.

True true. One great tip I learned recently is no matter what you're playing or what key you're playing in, you are never more than one fret away from the right note. So now when I make a mistake and hit a note that just doesn't fit, I try not to overcorrect and panic thinking I'm way off-shape but simply move one fret up or down and will find a note that fits.

Guitar Gate. Heavy emphasis at the beginning on learned the CAGED system with a good mix of technique, tricks, and theory interspersed. I highly recommend Michael Palmisano's course, he's pretty good. Another online instructor who I really like for his musical tastes and youtube shorts is Eric Haugen. I've looked into buying one of his courses but haven't tried it yet because I'm not sure which one I want since I have a full lifetime membership at GuitarGate and have all the bases covered. There's A LOT of content I haven't yet explored.

I am pretty comfortable with all the pentatonic shapes, minor and major, to the point where as long as I know what key a song/progression is in, I can solo up and down the neck hitting all the roots, 3s, 5s, and 7s. Basically I can sound like I sorta play some guitar. However, I want to take it to the next level but I'm really struggling with playing over the chord changes. No matter how slow the bpm, I stumble and choke when it comes to hearing those chord movements and hitting the corresponding chord tones to really sell the changes. If I am not thinking about it, I don't have a problem playing the notes of the major or minor scale and making them sound musical but that's not as advanced as I would like to be. I want to be able to transition my solos from, say, the 1 chord in a 1-6-2-5 progression to then target the root/3rd/5th of that 6 chord and then likewise target the 1/3/5s of the 2 chord etc but I am always fumbling my way from one chord to the next and getting lost, so that I just revert back to playing what's comfortable in the major scale of the key I'm playing. Can anyone give me some tips you may have learned to make it easier to see these changes and not just play the pentatonics but to hit those notes that underline the chord movement?

goddamn you're a real piece of shit. i hope bad things happen to you just for that comment. fuck off forever.

this one guts me like Bush's reelection in 2004. But this is far more terrifying and uncertain given the nature of the madman in power.

GQP mouth breathers like Ted are so fucking pathetic. Just empty anti-immigrant racist rhetoric and Nancy Pelosi and Antifa SoCIALiSMM!!!

Allred is in total control here

Allred is doing really well and Cruz just is burying himself in his unlikable stench

Expect a pardon announcement within the next day at least.... https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/jury-finds-apd-officer-guilty-of-deadly-conduct/

CHRISTOPHER TAYLOR GUILTY!!!! https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/jury-finds-apd-officer-guilty-of-deadly-conduct/

I was convinced he was going to strike out swinging after he got to two strikes so that walk was a very pleasant surprise. Heyward was close to tying that game or maybe even walking it off if the ball finds the corner.

For the infinitemillionth time, managers don't determine wins and losses. It's all about the players, always. The rest is just leftover space for internet warriors to bitch about managers that lose and pussy pedestal those that win.

shit if those hold I might have to drive to Houston for tomorrow's game

and this

HOLY SHIT Lindor crushed that

Can you point to the source of this link? It's a .pdf with counties and dollar amounts but no description. Would like to use as a resource for pointing to my dipshit co-workers and acquaintances who reflexively think "Deep state/gummint bad!!" and say dumb shit like Lets Go Brandon.

I highly doubt they will be playing just for seeding because even if Arizona loses out, they can make the playoffs if the Mets lose their remaining four games. The wild card scenarios for these three remaining teams are wide open. That double-header is huge.

That Monday double-header in ATL will be very interesting.

Dan Wilson is doing great work destroying the bullshit lies from ding dong dipshits like Joe Rogan.
