    Bourbon

    Shady shit? We’re talking about a liquor store named after Gypsies. Did they promise a free bottle of Pappy with every roof replacement?

    I read it as they are putting a dollar amount on each player and that’s based on an analysis incorporating demand, supply, and current roster. In other words, making a bigger splash is most likely constrained by a) who might be poised to come on the market as the playoffs proceed and b) if you’re exceeding what you’re paying for guys like Wingo and maybe retaining Golden, then do you also have to make a bigger commitment there.

    Typically we expect increased demand for treasuries to lead to lower rates.

    I think the Bullock sold out for all showings. I don’t know the reason but it’s too bad they can extend the release when that happens.

    I think Pelosi would agree she needs to go. It’s mostly that the cohort behind her lacks any nerve and she knows it.

    Open for Xmas?

    We made reservations for La Pascina at the Austin Proper. I cooked last year and it was amazing pretty much all I did on Christmas Day.

    That was a good trade for the Yankees. Use their ridiculous local revenue as a super power.

    I’ve become obnoxiously experienced with the TJ’s dough and you have to either dust it with flour or with olive oil. It’s also much better after three or four days in the fridge and worse after seven. If you’re working with a stone I also need to put some corn meal on it and not everyone goes for that.

    She’ll hang on until at least 30 seconds has passed after Trump has breathed his last.

    You’re not kidding. I’ve just went outside and killed 3 of them in two minutes. At least they are moving slow.

    Also, I don’t understand how/why judicial can’t fast-rope down. That’s low tech.

    I guess we’re going to see, outside of exceptional circumstances, back-up QB’s as kind of itinerant journeyman who transfer annually in search of more playing time. Maybe four schools in four years becomes less of a stigma.

    I think if you sign one FA that requires draft compensation then they should just go crazy with it.

    I think they have to move Valdez for an outfielder. Also, I don’t understand how Tampa managed to trade a decent reliever, a AAAA 3b and a lotto ticket pitcher for Paredes and the cost for us is one of the best players in baseball.

    I’m underwhelmed if that’s the big pieces.

    Not sure I agree with this one, either. I think the rise in insurance cost will be changing the cost/benefit in certain areas but Austin should be a winner there compared to Houston (hurricanes) and Dallas (the enormous sucking due to proximity to Oklahoma). Also, I’m not seeing any health insurers struggling to make a profit. Be honest, you drive a Cybertruck, right? 😉

    Not sure I agree with this one (in that a recession hurts tech worse than other industries)-care to elaborate?

    Why do you need to be a homo to be into this? My wife and I both thought Call Me By Your Name was terrific. A Portrait of a Woman on Fire was also excellent. I think one of the reviews for it made the case that you can’t really do forbidden romance anymore except with same sex lovers because so little is forbidden.

    Care to elaborate? I mentioned upthread that I’m getting close to hate watching this show, and while that diminished in the last couple of weeks, I think it’s due mostly to declining expectations. I was watching Segel in the first scene of this week’s episode thinking “if the camera wasn’t in close up and the lighting was worse, add a laugh track and this is a sitcom”. The fact I can’t stand sitcoms but love Ted Lasso probably speaks more to the recognition by the production team that shooting a sitcom like a drama seems to work better in the 2020’s. Here it seems to be trying too hard.

    This-I wouldn’t want to start wishing for the opposite but clearly the market isn’t taking the lead from the Fed at the moments.
  21. LCHorn
    If that’s the case it’s been working.
  22. LCHorn
    If we’re going all in on ‘25 we have to resign Bregman and anyone else that can add wins to this team.
  23. LCHorn
    First off, I appreciate you feeding my news addiction. Other hand, you deserve permaban for posting something from that moron.

    I agree that’s a presumption that gets repeated by sports media, and it seems intuitively true. Fangraphs (I think) did an article last season on Justin Turner and made a case that his bat speed was shit but he made it work because he was so selective about which pitches to swing at. At the time I read it, Bregman was off to his usual slow start and I wondered if the same thing was happening to him (let’s recall that the exit velocity stats have never favored Bregman and I presume it’s partially bat speed driven). If you look at Springers stats, the eye is holding up and if his contact could improve enough to raise his batting average by 50 points he’s probably a fringe all-star (I’m not equipped to evaluate defense and if he’s fallen off a lot there I wouldn’t opine).
