  1. Reading The Drawing of the Three and really enjoying it
  2. I got kind of lucky in that we got to teach our 5yo about doggie death when my SIL's old as fuck terrier died a few weeks ago. My kid wasn't super attached to him but knew him well as he plays over there a lot. He understands that Tommy went to sleep and that was his final sleep and that it was ok because he was really old. Not as traumatic as when I was a kid and we had a ton of pets and one died every few years.
  3. Yeah I also don't point it out to the humans. They don't like that.
  4. Him trying to fit into Biscuit's bed. Biscuit is annoyed but he mostly sleeps with us anyways.
  5. We're dog-sitting my SIL's dog this weekend. He's got some hound in him and is a known barker. I realized today that he doesn't bark that much more than my dog, but it's just that his is just so damn loud it seems like he's barking 3x as much.
  6. I like how even eastern Euro dogs have that weird lazy eye that you often see with eastern Euro humans.
  7. So I now have a 0% chance of winning - but that's because if every game goes right for me then Doomlet wins. Now I have to root for UConn to make the FF and then lose to ALA/Clem... crazier shit has happened I guess.
  8. That's gotta be it. Seems some of these scrub pitchers we suffer against are coached up well as to how to pitch us. We could counter with some good hitting coaching but we don't seem to have that.
  9. Agreed that we need some veteran leadership to help us out of those funks. PP and PB need to step up in those games and help get everyone else going.
  10. Like I get that young players are streaky at the plate, but for some reason we seem to be streaky as a whole. Hive mind shit.
  11. Even if the playing field is pretty level in regards to shitty bullpens, our hitting is just too damn inconsistent. I'm not sure why they shit the bed every 3rd game regardless of what scrub they are facing. Feels like there must be some level of complacency in the entire team that allows for that to happen.
  12. 6'4 155. Someone get this kid a gift card to Longhorn Steakhouse.
  13. I think O'Dowd should pitch this inning.
  14. That might've been the hardest hit ball I've seen this year.
  15. It doesn't get more obvious than that. These homer announcers are ridiculous.
  16. I'm glad I started drinking later this evening. More time to dwell on what we know is coming.
