So dumb. So we can get Singleton more AB's? Ugh. Call up Whitcomb if that's where we are at.

You can't run for 1000 or catch 1000 unless you have done it before. I see absolutely no problem in that logic...

I mean- yeah I guess. I don't really care all that much about the total overall program wins (you are right- the last decade has been brutal) I just want to move the needle on total championships and add 3 Heisman trophy's along the way or something like that. Lets start with 1 of each this year and move that needle.

Smart was winning an auction format with very few participants and he had the biggest bank account. It's not at all a surprise to me to see them get taken down a peg or two in an above board auction situation. I fully expect we eclipse them as a program very soon (maybe this year) in the SEC, the same way I've been predicting the demise of Alabraska for 2 or 3 years. But, if they could just turn into a smoking crater while being scorned and ridiculed by the college football world that would be absolutely fantastic. I'm ready for a world where the powers are Texas, Michigan, Domers, with a little Miami and Oregon mixed in. Basically other than Oregon you have crazy ass Miami which is always sort of fun and the only 3 blue bloods that refused to cheat rampantly when basically college football recruiting became overrun with the bag game and you saw programs cut corners and be handsomely rewarded for it.

Here is what I'm hearing (and this is not from @Scipio who yall know I advertise with- I wouldn't burn him for obvious reasons). Was told I could post it as long as it's unsourced... Cook has the drops and its bad Bond is a total and complete dumb dumb Ewers loves Moore, Golden and Bolden- but the problem is they all really play the same position Wingo is our best receiver and it's not particularly close- but he needs to learn how to play all the positions so he can fit in where the other guys aren't- he can be a difference maker anywhere. Niblack is an absolute freak and impossible to guard The Baxter injury is going to be a real problem for this team (and that was before Christian Clark went down). That's it- that's what I got. The Cook part was very surprising to me. I know they like Gunner Helm so maybe we are going to see a lot more 2 TE's, 1 RB and 2 WR action than we originally thought. My guess on that would be Wingo and Golden/Bolden as the WR's we end up going to in that package. Maybe some more empty as well with the plague of RB's lost for the season.

Here is the exception officially from MLB- I didn't say it quite right, but it's not a hard thing to meet: A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing someone who is on the injured list and has served the minimum amount of time required for activation. (For example, a player on the 10-day injured list who has been on it for at least 10 days, or a player who has been on the 60-day injured list for at least 60 days.) Players who are acquired in September or after are ineligible.

Not this again. We go through this every year. All you have to do is be in the organization by August 31 at midnight to be able to play in the playoffs. Yes- you are supposed to be on the 40 man roster or the 60 day IL to be playoff eligible, BUT there is an exception that says you can pull anyone in the organization onto a playoff roster as long as you manipulate the disabled list in such a way that basically someone in the org is put on the disabled list for a period of time longer than the season can last. So- essentially anyone going on the 15 day DL with less than 15 games left or anyone going on the 60 day Dl at any point in time after the August 31 deadline makes a team able to call whoever in the organization they want up to a playoff roster.

Murfree and Whitley being ready to go at the big league level around September 1 could hopefully give the 4 guys who have pitched a shitload this year some time to refresh before the playoffs. If we keep winning.

Had fun. Did a normal type episode of an hour and 10 or so and then added on a Spencer Arrighetti deep dive starting at the hour and 10 mark. Listen to one part, both or tell em it sucks

It’s not. There is no silver lining here. And then, there were 3. Two of them on the light side. Colin Page might well get some carries this year.

He has been so good he has 100% approval on the surly thread. I think that virtually unprecedented.

I have two free tickets to the game on Monday the 19th against the Red Sox. PM me if you want them.

At MMP? Almost surely. A place with a big yard? Maybe Yordan has to DH...

I screw that up in a different way every time. him. I think he’s probably actually good. We will see.

Yeah. I think Ort is fine. this bullpen gets really good when it’s as follows (in order of appearance imo:) Hader Abreu Presley Scott Ort whitley mumfree paired with 6 man rotation when JV gets back. Good luck fuckers. It won’t happen, but a girl can dream.

My Whitley stock looking good on the penny exchange. he’s not apparently in their plans. Turd Ferguson got to get those leverage innings.

I’d call Whitley up and Mumfree when he gets healthy and if either of them were fine I’d find a 15 day “injury” for Abreu. He’s on pace to throw like 75 or 80 times.

Ort can stay.

Espada is such a dick head. And Dana is for bringing this flaming garbage onto the roster. we could be reveling in the magnificence of Whitley right now.

Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose. You know the beat.

I would think so, sure. Seller's money they can enter into any kind of listing agreement they want (not all listings are at 6% for example). That wouldn't solve any problem of buyer owing his agent whatever buyer agreed to though.

Fuckers. Logged on looking to laugh at them after a night drinking and find that they came back with 3 in the 9th. Fuck that shit.

As a seller there is almost no way I would want to work with a DIY buyer. As a buyer I know I would never work with a DIY seller. The amount of shit that can get fucked up is staggering, and I'd rather just pay for someone else to have professional representation so I know that it's not going to be a shit show. You can tell a lot about agents by the way they handle themselves and submit offers etc. I have absolutely shit canned offers before b/c the agent is a mess and I didn't want to deal with it.

I don't expect, in all but the hottest of seller markets, that the buyer is ever going to end up paying hardly anything in commission. If a seller wants to pay no buyer commission buyers agents (or buyers themselves) aren't going to be super keen to look at the property. It's going to sit. They are going to get offers that are 3% less. They are going to get offers from buyer saying "hey- I only have a minimum downpayment- I'm scraping for closing costs- I can pay the list price but I can't pay another 3% in closing costs on top of that because you won't facilitate this transaction for 'reasons'" Everything is obviously negotiable but this whole things seems like a solution in search of a problem, and I'm a guy that thinks 90% of the people that have a real estate license should be fired off into the sun due to gross incompetence, but this thing never made any sense and I doubt it fundamentally changes anything in practical application when it comes down to it. You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip and that's what trying to get an extra 3% from the majority of buyers, at the majority of times, in the majority of places is like trying to do.

Find someone more interested in volume than maximizing every deal. Here's how it works (I'm always super transparent with pricing and how things are): The typical direct lender shop makes 3% per loan amount. The typical broker makes about 2.5% The national average can be found here: https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/mbs Now- keep in mind this does NOT include points, and for some reason (people in my industry are idiots and borrowers are ignorant- b/c why wouldn't they be when they do this 5 times in their lifetime) something like 78% of people are paying points when rates are super high and you aren't likely to be in the loan for a long time- my industry should be flogged for that. So- when you look at the national average the likelihood is that has about 2.5% or so in compensation to the broker or in payment to direct lender and cost to run their branch (staff, building, computers, software etc). I typically work for 2%, b/c I have almost no overhead. And by working for 2% I'm going to be better than the national average. If a client comes from a place like Surly, has good credit, is doing a refinance, and is someone I want to have in my database and mailing list I'm willing to do a deal for less than that- if the time makes sense. Refi's are typically easy- if you are refinancing your own client you probably already have most of their shit and just have to get some stuff updated. I'd rather do this 4 or 5 times while they walk down the staircase (always free to the customer) and make 1 point at a time than do it once and have the customer feel bad a year from now when it's time to go again. So- I work for less than normal and use the rest to pay all the closing costs. And I will do it over and over and over again, b/c it's good for the customer (who doesn't like free money) it's good for my staff, and I'd rather have all of 5 grapes than a sliver of a watermelon. If you want this free refinance feel free to reach out. WE do them all the time.
