  1. Someone did this recently. I want to say it was Arkansas, so Chad Morris or Bielema maybe? Piggie filed suit to try to void the contract on the grounds that he wasn't trying to get a real job to give them an offset, but he soon got another high assistant job and it went away.
  2. They were also stacking their teams by age, which is supposed to be against the rules. My daughter's league was ages 9-10 (or 11-12, something) and Blanco had a Gold team and a Blue team. The Gold team was all 10-yos and the Blue all 9-yos. What really did them in was that they couldn't get umpires to do games in Blanco because of the abuse they got. So we showed up for a late-season game in Blanco that first year, and the umpires were the lady who ran the Blanco softball organization and her teenage daughter. And they were not objective.
  3. Blanco is one fucked-up little town. When my daughter was little, the Wimberley softball organization formed a league with Dripping and Blanco. After one season, the league threatened to drop Blanco because their parents were so shitty. The compromise was that they could stay in the league, but all games would be played in Wimberley and DS.
  4. Mattress sales
  5. I've been saying for years that Eddings is the worst umpire in MLB (non-AngelH division), and it's not just his strike zone.
  6. He had them 15th last week.
  7. If it's MIL vs SEA, Rob Manfred might jump off a ledge?
  8. I can confirm they are not I've been to an international hockey tournament in Canada. Canadians are surprisingly aggy.
  9. Penn State was OK with coaches raping little boys as long as they were winning. Why would you think there is more to this story?
  10. Jorge Polanco, Mariner legend
  11. Logan has nothing today.
  12. Just about every time my wife parks, I say, "It's OK, I can walk to the curb from here." If you didn't fall in love with her in Annie Hall, something is wrong with you.
  13. Our second foster got officially adopted today -- just took her and dropped her off. Wife cried about giving up this one, but she's going to an incredible family -- Mom used to be in the band Flobots, dad works from home, 2 boys, and a Corgi who was desperate for a friend to play with: 20251013_112256.mp4 Still gonna miss this sweet girl: If you have ever thought about fostering, do it! It is so incredibly rewarding. Based on our experience, these dogs understand what you've done for them and they're just incredibly grateful and immediately in love with you. They're just desperate for someone to love and protect them. Plus, we always take our dogs to our neighborhood breweries/restaurants, and we always get free beer or food when the waitress finds out that she's a foster dog.
  14. Hell yes! @miguelito Moose gifs, please!
  15. "Momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher."
