  1. Definitely something to this. Last month I had two straight games where I entered B9 trailing 3-0 and walked it off with a 4 run 9th. Had one with two outs, nobody on in bottom 9 that finished, walk, HR, single, HR. It's like I quit trying and then just started raking.
  2. I don't have anywhere near 150k shares, but glad I kept adding to my stack when it fell below $0.80
  3. This pennant race is shaping up to be so epic. I think combined both teams have lost only 9 games in August. It's a shame there are only 3 head to head games left on the schedule.
  4. The Mets finished their 13 game stretch against LA-SF-LA-SF a smooth 2-11.
  5. He clearly has an obsession with poop, which is why all of his posts are a steaming pile of shit.
  6. Shit. Just take an Uber across the bridge to Vernon's and drink your dinner. They have free popcorn.
  7. I went to Salty Oak back when they were in a quasi trailer back behind the YWCA and it was legit. Haven't been to their brick and mortar.
  8. Who needs sleep? I do. Go Padres.
  9. I know the Mets offensive woes have been beaten to death, but my God... they swing at anything. That Baez swing was one of about a dozen laughably bad cuts. Against Sammy Long.
  10. What kind of dinosaur only accepts PayPal? Even my old timer fantasy football commish takes Venmo, and he was only accepting checks like 3 years ago.
  11. That is my thought as well. I have enough in that one to set it and forget it. It's not so much money that I'm on the streets if it goes to a nickel but enough that I'll get a sweet windfall if they find a buyer and it makes a good run.
  12. I got to the point where I could hit decently in DD but now I am back to being utterly hopeless at the plate. I can't fucking time up anything. I'll be late to catch up to the fastball for 5 innings, and then finally start seeing it.... only to have "Early" or "Very early" timing. Don't even get me started on fucking sliders. The only pitch I can mash is the 12-6 curve.
  13. Dodger Stadium was still a pain in the ass to get into in 2019. I hope some of the infrastructure changes have fixed that. Not talking about traffic but just getting through the ticket takers. I went to Short Stop on Sunset before the game. I think it was 6 bucks for a PBR tall boy and a shot. Amazing deal for LA. That was totally not the kind of scene I expected to experience in LA around Dodger Stadium. I still need to go see a game at Petco. Walked around when it was just about finished and seemed like it would be great. Bonus points for any stadium you can walk to from your hotel.
  14. Yes but he's part of the gang of friends. And if you can make friends with the coaching staff, or ownership you get to hang around as long as you want.
  15. The TRE is a great way to go. Don't like it as much coming back, but in the morning it's a party. Last time we loaded up some tumblers with bloody marys for the train ride. Cop on board walks by, looks over, says "I bet that's not orange juice in there", laughs and walks on.
  16. I have to go into the office Thursday so looks like I'll miss the Angelo's thing but I'm down for an after party at one of our fine nearby watering holes.
  17. $5 for a broken seashell. <noCR> Inflation is out of control in this country!!! </noCR>
  18. I could have sworn Jack Morris did some other dumb ass thing either last year or sometime recently.
  19. I follow the Giants very closely and I could write 20,000 words on how this season is happening. But you don't want to read it. So long story short, (1) great front office moves to get solid guys who fit into the system. (2) great approach at the plate, team wide. (3) veterans having huge bouncebacks (Crawford, Posey). (4) Limiting mistakes. As someone who experienced and never totally got over the 1993 season, I am still waiting for the Dodgers to go 35-5 down the stretch and take the West, but if SF clinches the division I am gonna drink Ft Worth out of beer that night. They're not doing it with a lot of young stars so can't say it's sustainable, but this long into the season it's definitely not a fluke. I like what the front office is doing so hopefully they can continue to compete with the pre-ordained champs in 22 and beyond.
  20. Getting those is always a good reminder to go into your settings and turn all that bullshit off.
  21. How can your takes continue to get even worse? Is your entire Surly persona an Andy Kaufman bit?
  22. Every year I say I am gonna go try some of the new food items, and every year I just end up getting Fletchers and beer.
