Stinky Stanky

I'm bouncing between that the boss has an uncanny way with decisions that makes us and him look bad every single time and "Any publicity is good publicity." He's needed a media consultant for almost 40 years and still does. Did I just say 40 years? Even smart guys are dumb in certain ways.

It's in Gonzo's article in the Trib today. Tony doesn't want kneeling during the anthem on his team, demands respect for the flag. I forget what the excuse was for him, Pujols and Theriot not showing when the championship team was honored at the White House. 😎

The likely MVP (or whomever) gets a clutch hit in G 2 or 3 and we're not having this thread. Just saying.

I hope it's good, clean mucus with no virus to spread at his rallies.

Guaranteed Rate isn't the only GR around here.

LaRussa speaks Spanish, I'm almost certain. His mother was Spanish. Not for me. I want to remember him as I last saw him, in the dugout at the ASG the year after he retired, wearing TV makeup.

Couldn't come up big in game of 5 of the 2016 WS. Woulda been great too. For that reason alone, no.

I don't follow much, but I saw Herron for the first time on the Bears postgamer. He's a keeper.

Smart as heck, check. Baseball smart as heck, check. We all love the guy, check. Has coaching experience, uh... Likes working with young players, uh... Maybe not.

And a teeny tiny bit of negative attention? Ya think?

Thighs. Harder to muck up and twice the taste of breasts. Wood smoke too? I do. Indirect, of course, but I cheat a little at the end and crisp them up a bit.

Not that Hawk ever used it, but I'm familiar with the one involving a corncob and a tractor. 😁

I don't know why he does anything and neither do you. 😁

One word reason for Ozzie's success in 2005 and failure a year later: Bullpen. Gimme that bullpen and I'll manage for free and be a genius too.

I hope reform doesn't mean stiffing the pensioners. That would give a new meaning to the word Reform. She is as likely to have written The Art of the Deal as Donald Trump. He may not have read the damn thing.

Good one. Weight distribution. There's a 60 yard chipping range at the local course here. I'll hit it today. BTW, I was having a devil of a time with fat and thin chips until I took my wrists out of it. But I'm an old guy and you teach young guys.

Blather. He knew everything and told it to Bob Woodward in their intereviews in February. It's all on tape. Google it and learn.

Hate to quote myself, but he reversed himself on the stimulus deal. That took about an hour.

It could be OKC is strapped for cash and he headed for higher ground. And what you posted. I know a guy who is giving up on Coby at PG. Oh Hell, it's me. He could start by geting a rebound. Or learning to play in traffic without getting the ball chopped away by the guards. The Gallinari II post is right on. He ain't gonna be the new Dirk.

She needs to be on TV because I think she's cute. Is that so wrong? 😊 Yeah, she knows her sports and is a professional broadcaster, too. But take the job if it's offered. I might start listening to Bernstein again.

I started shanking chip shots on #18 Monday. And I was chipping the best in 10 years! Post whatever you come up with, I gotta know. Wristiness was suggested to me one time as a cause by a great golfer/coach I know, but I took the wrists out of my chipping.

Being an old guy, I grew up when the shoe was on the other foot. Always is a long time.

I'm getting tired of the AT&T houseguest slob in the bathtub. More ad money would help, but we need butts in the seats and eating Polishes with grilled onions.

Ozzie could do eeny, meeny with his bullpen and win games in 2005. That means he's smart! A half season later the BP was floundering. Does that mean he got dumb, or that managers are as good as their bullpens? Either way, the Cubs once yanked Lou Boudreau out of the radio booth at midseason and replaced Charlie Grimm(?) with him. Might it happen here? God no!

I'm not blaming him, just saying that his absence hurt. This is a great thread that had a brief moment off the tracks for petty bolshoi but got it back together. It would have been unnecessary if Jose could have got a clutch hit those last 2 games. Still MVP, but... It would have been unnecessary if DK gave us 6 nice innings in game 2. BTW, the 'stros got to Bassitt in his next outing. It's all futile cuz we were not capable of winning more than a 3 game series. The post about RR being replaced at midseason. It ain't that crazy. Wasn't Lamont? I had fun this season. I hope you all did.
