  1. Take WEGOVY and suffer depression and thoughts of suicide, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. We need to keep seeing this ad again and again and again.
  2. That was about as bad an outfield play as you can make without getting e big ol' "E" next to your name...
  3. Yeah, boy. The very unlikeliness makes it all the sweeter to contemplate.
  4. Looked like #20 named "Shaggy:
  5. Not looking like a pitcher's duel today.
  6. That was ugly. I once slid across the plate, turned an ankle when spikes caught the dirt like that, and got my hand underneath me... wound up with my pinky finger pointing the wrong way. No fun at all.
  7. This simple fact together with his CDC time back at TCU is what puts Schloss in play. It would be glorious, particularly if aggy hoists the trophy.
  8. I laugh, but it's not the worst decision they could make.
  9. There are a few guys. Schloss is one. Vitello is one. Nobody here would be unhappy with either one. Their circumstances would seem to make them highly unlikely, so speculation is rampant. It's a fun time to watch great baseball in the CWS and imagine what we could be with their coaches.
  10. Tomorrow at 10. others pushed back an hour.
  11. Here we go. Gonna be interesting to see if Honeycutt can drag the Tarheels along with him.
  12. Beat me to it. FLA guy also seems unlikely, no dick discipline. UNC is homeboy like FSU. UK Mingione (sp?) I guess is possible. Leaves Tenn and aggy. Vitello or Schloss. Or an assistant of someone. Or the whole thing's just fluid. Not piss, but could be colonoscopy prep.
  13. I'm thinking we can bring in some Nigerians and replace "Leg before wicket" with "Assegai up jacksey"...
  14. Wasn't Jefferson the guy who said "Seventy-six per cent of all statistics are made up"?
  15. The knob-slobbing over aggy assistant Max Weiner makes it seem like he might be in play... would be a helluva stretch, but if Schloss pitches him to CDC it seems like a definite possibility.
  16. True. But given the relationship stories, not impossible. On the other hand, it seems like Schloss would at least be willing to opine to Del Conte on the guys who are within reason. It may be Tony V. or it may be someone else, but under the circumstances it almost has to be one of the guys at Omaha.
  17. Hell, yah. You know, just being in the SEC should add a good ten wins next year. I mean, even if we keep our coach.
  18. At whatever level, the inside-outside call is touchy. Umps set up in the slot over the catcher's shoulder (inside) and only see "perfectly" on that side. The outside ball is harder to call. High and low changes from batter to batter, depending on stance, and the high side is - I think the rules still say - armpit to top of knees. These days, anything much hogher than belt is not going to get you a strike, but a lot of umps will call a strike at mid-knee or even a little below. And don't forget, it's where the ball is when it crosses the plate, not necessarily when it passes the batter, who may be at the front or back of the box and close to the plate or back from it. Knowing the particular ump's tendencies, and figuring out as you go, what he's gonna call is part of the game. Again - the best thing is to have consistency. I don't care if he gives an extra bit outside or low or whatever, as long as he does it every time.
  19. What ever happened to "maggie"?
