  1. Any of y'all have thoughts on Ume on White Oak? My son's friend's dad is a chef there, but I haven't tried it yet. He told me to let him know when we make it out there, so he can get us some extra goodies.
  2. That looks cool, where can you find those?
  3. Need to reduce our TOOTBLANs too. I think we are already at 4 or 5 this year.
  4. Who would have thought the Detroit Tigers would be the last undefeated team to start the season?
  5. oof, really could have used that run last inning...
  6. 5 infielders is an interesting choice.
  7. Pipe down choir boy!
  8. Hell of a performance from our #5 starter. Let's hope the slumpbuster continues for a few more games. Diaz should bat 4/5th every game, he's so fucking powerful. That first homer was a hell of a shot. Bregman may need to move down a couple spots. Dubon to 1st should be considered, or go get a mediocre guy like Belt for dirt cheap right now. Abreu and Singleton cannot be the answer for the whole season.
  9. Yeah but now we don't have to worry about Chas sitting the next 3 games and Dubon batting #2.
  10. Maybe you should blame Dana Brown for signing him to 3 years with no options.
  11. Space City Unis forever!
  12. Looks like the Chiefs will definitely be going for a WR in the first round...
  13. So, how did you like your egg? I said you were fine.
  14. Really funny show, this was my favorite skit from it:
  15. So what's the opposite of "Relentless?" Cause that's what we got so far.
  16. Jerry, this is the dullest moment I have ever experienced. That original pilot was truly a show about nothing.
  17. Scott Scott, funny thing is he was actually Irish.
  18. My favorite is StreamEast, but you need adblock to not get the cyberAIDS. https://v1.streameast.top/match/mlb/houston-astros-vs-new-york-yankees/11964891
  19. Let's goooooooooooooo!
  20. Whelp, I finished the series today, and man that Finale was underwhelming. I think the first 20 minutes or so were actually pretty good and felt like a normal episode. Once they got arrested, it kind of went downhill from there. Just a whole bunch of callbacks and rehashing old jokes by bringing back a parade of characters. Jackie sleeping with Teri Hatcher was a surprise, I definitely forgot about that. The judge being named Arthur Vandelay was meh, but George's mom propositioning him in order to be lenient was a surprise. Apparently it didn't work though, since they got a 1 year sentence. I did think it was funny that Ted Danson's name came up again when George was complaining about the plane. He of course made the same kind of complaint back in season 4 when negotiating the pilot with NBC, comparing the paltry $13,000 to what Ted Danson makes per episode of Cheers. I'm sure Larry David had something to do with it, since Ted is on Curb as himself. There were some funny parts, but it was mostly the 4 of them and Jackie reacting to witnesses and testimony. We already know a lot of that stuff isn't socially acceptable and the issues with the things they do, so throwing it back in the character's faces just isn't funny on its own. I think where they really missed the mark was not having any sort of testimony from the 4. Elaine could have tried to play it smart and deflect responsibility, Jerry should have been trying to point out the absurdities and make some awkward joke that doesn't fly, George should have been on that stand getting very upset and Kramer should have been last and screwed it all up somehow. It's too bad they didn't go with more of the main characters and less of the extras, plus I would have loved to see Frank Costanza up there on the stand testifying as to why his son doesn't deserve this treatment. Anyways, it's not the worst finale in sitcom history, but it's certainly not a great one. I don't think it's nearly as bad as people seem to recall, but there was a lot of different ways they could have gone instead. Honestly I think doing a normal show with nothing special would have been the best option and fit the show better. End with them debating a random social topic in the coffee shop and fade to credits would have been great.
  21. Is Graveman coming back this season? I thought he was out for the year.
  22. HOW COULD YOU GIVE 12 MILLION DOLLARS TO HIDEKI IRABU?!?!? I don't think any other line in the finale is going to top that.
  23. Season 9 has been rather underwhelming so far, I watched the Puerto Rican Parade episode the other night, and there wasn't anything to highlight in it. It was pretty dumb with the stalled traffic, laser pointer guy annoying George and Elaine playing some sort of Harriet Tubman caricature. Most of season 9 has felt like a significant drop off in quality from seasons 4-8, but the notable episodes I liked were: The Butter Shave (George gets a job due to his cane, nearly talks himself out of it until the 'private bathroom' is mentioned, Kristin Davis dates Kenny Bania, Chris Parnell thinks Kenny should make a NBC sitcom) The Voice (bellybutton talking, George keeping his job after faking being disabled, Kramer gets a assistant) The Strike (The Human Fund is created, Kruger comes to Festivus, Kramer works at a bagel shop) The Burning (Kramer and Micky act out diseases, Elaine learns she's going to Hell) I'm up to the finale now, which I haven't seen since it aired back on May 14, 1998. I remember not liking it very much, because it wasn't much new material (rehashing old stuff doesn't count a week after a clip show), and the premise of the arrest was completely unbelievable. I'm still interested in watching it for fun, but don't have my hopes up at this point. They really did pick the right time to go out on a high note overall, and end the series when it was on the decline. I will say, I did enjoy the hell out of the clipshow, which was the penultimate episode. They did a great job with carving out themes, montages of similar situations and revisiting the most epic moments of the show. I normally don't like clip shows, but that one was so well done. It really does a great service to saying goodbye to all the characters in a fun way and reminding you of all the good times we had.
  24. Would be nice if he linked the public site where you can see all these bets, but I'm guessing his ass doesn't have a webpage.
