I think 500 should be a starting point. He’s worth every penny. I don’t think he’ll go out to Queens. Outside of Judge he’s the most popular guy on the Yanks now and clearly is going to make a good chunk of change on endorsements going forward staying with the team.

Never change that positive demeanor you possess.

Thought about going out to the Yankees game tonight because the weather is beautiful, but I don’t want to watch them play a last place team. I’ll wait until a series with the Red Sox to go out and see Soto for the first time in Pinstripes. He’s got quite a following here with the large Dominican population, especially the proximity of it to the ballpark. The Yanks better throw at least 500 million over a decade at him. He has single-handedly made the offense functional.

I don’t advocate violence, but if someone would just start swinging a shovel at these people when they are telling blatant lies like this we might get them to stop because interviewing them and asking for an honest answer is not working. These are the absolute dumbest humans on the entire planet. If you voted for this banshee you are dumb. If you still support this La Petite Academy graduate after hearing everything she has said and continues to say you might need a shovel to the face as well.

He’s an incredible athlete and I would say he’s a once in a lifetime baseball player. Can’t wait until he can pitch again next season.

Went back to finish the movie tonight. Well worth coming back for as this is such a fun movie. The stunt scenes are amazing and again the chemistry with Blunt and Gosling is superb. Definitely recommend seeing this, especially in a theater. Don’t wait to watch it at home.

This seems like a cool movie. I had to leave a showing early, but I am going back this coming week to finish seeing it. Gosling and Blunt come across really well on chemistry.

She had mentioned that tonight. Someone else I work with told us that as well before her first set started. She was very polite and nice. It’s be cool to have more performers like her come through.

It’s not officially spring until Harden gets the doors blown off him in a series deciding game.

This wasn’t a concert, but tonight at work we had a performer that was thoroughly enjoyable. Her name is Patricia Vonne and her Tejana/Rock style was really cool. She’s originally from San Antone and I talked to her for a bit afterwards. She lives in Austin now so I thought some of y’all might have heard her before. She gave me her CD that is coming out in September. Usually I try to avoid the shows we have because they are louder rock, but she was awesome and everyone had a good time in there tonight.

It’s better this way. Old Yeller needed to be put down and Murray was ready to take them out back. I am sure you are looking forward to the next round. Enjoy what are hopefully some really entertaining games.

I have already said what I think of your conspiracy theories and that I think you are a crazy person for believing in them. Seriously decouple yourself from this stuff and maybe just stop watching the NBA if you think it’s all rigged. Leave the sport to fans who just enjoy watching it instead because you clearly cannot just enjoy the games. A normal fan would be pretty happy with a series victory in such a fashion, but not you. I did not watch any of the game because I had something far more important that I was doing today, but even I was glad for Murray to do what he did. You, however, take the route of being miserable about things like a basketball game that don’t even matter in the overall scheme of things. It’s not a good look and I find it embarrassing that any older adult of your age would believe in such nonsense as there being a ref cabal fixing games solely for the Lakers. They’re doing a pretty shoddy job of fixing these games.

I can count on zero fingers the amount of full games I have watched that guy play, but the little I have seen he looks like the kind of point guard that no next generation star should ever be paired with.

I shed no tears for him. He CHOSE this situation and wanted Beal brought in and he willingly teamed with another player in Booker that no one should want to be teammates with. He should own this situation and take his fair share of the blame instead of saying stuff like that behind the scenes.

Today is always a somber day because it’s the day my dad died 13 years ago, but this year I decided to change things up a bit. I got my surfboard and headed for the beach. It was 83 in the city, but only maybe 70 at the beach. As much as I wanted to get in the water I know my limits and am not a fan of water that feels too cold even if I do have a wetsuit on. Far Rockaway’s cold water can wait until it warms up. Instead I just laid out in the sun and called my mom and talked to my five year old niece on FaceTime. Seeing her enthusiasm for life at her young age made today feel good. I was never particularly close to my dad, but as the years roll on by I see him in a different light than I did when he was here. I wonder what he would think of having two grandkids from my younger brother or all the stories I could now share with him from the decade of travel I have put in and the places I have seen and lived. I wonder how life would have been different for him had he been given a better childhood than being raised in postwar Germany. His Opa raised him because his mother turned 19 the day before he was born. His mother, and my Oma, was awesome, but she was young and having fun when he came along. I kinda think he would understand why I never have married or have kids and why that brings me happiness. Mostly it would have been cool to have asked him a few more things about life instead but of being so distant from him while he was here. I do think he might laugh that I now use his name instead of being called JR or Junior anymore. I will never forget the empty feeling on the final call I got saying he was gone or seeing his lifeless body in the hospital bed when I finally got there from Dallas. I hope that those of you who still have a parent or parents still here that you make better use of that time than I did with my dad. When they are gone that’s it and you do not get another chance with them. My mom is still here and we talk almost every single day even if it’s really late at night. I just felt like sharing this in case there is someone in a difficult spot with a parent.

I read about this syndrome probably 20 plus years ago or so. It can cause some serious health issues and is something that seems a little difficult to have to live with. Former Baylor basketball player Isaiah Austin has it and it prevented him being able to pursue a career in the NBA.

This was sarcasm and did not happen. It does, however, sound like something that would happen to this ghoul of a person at some point.

Loved Bullet Train and parts of this movie also felt like that one as well. The comedic violence is one of the things I enjoyed. The opening scene on the boat was just fantastic.

Someone asked me about this film at work and I said that it felt like a Tarantino movie at various points.

I think Minnesota wins tonight because they’re better. Phoenix would need something even more overwhelming than a free throw parade to win.

I think I probably enjoyed this one more, but I like both movies.

What a horror show this woman is. I rarely am going to say something like this, but man she deserves the absolute worst that can happen to her each and everyday for the rest of her miserable life for killing a dog as well as a goat. What a freaking soulless piece of trash.

I am starting to think that Dan Gilbert actually had good reason to not want Ishbia to be an owner and not just because of the competing business thing. Also when you are soliciting advice from Isiah Thomas on players and how to run your organization you are probably not a very intelligent person nor are you someone that should have an NBA team.

I don’t hate him or even sports hate him, but I do recognize guys who just aren’t winners. My opinion of his ability to be the best player on a championship team has never changed since I saw him in his first season. He is just not a winner. Puts up a lot of points and leads fans to believe he’s an elite player, but he’s not. Chris Paul carried that team while he was there and I say that as someone who has never enjoyed watching him play either.

Welcome to Texghanistan my man. This is your state and your flagship university showing what really matters. Get ready for much, much more of this.
