Yeah!! We didn't get shut out!! Woo Woo

Where to?

Nomadic Fanatic on YouTube just uploaded "Potato Museum - Tater Treats & Parking Issues in Idaho". I'm guessing that's going to be a better use of the next twenty minutes of my life.

3/40 coming up

You can't expect Tony to remember all the player's names. My theory is he was having dinner with JR and right as the waitress was serving pudding someone mentioned Leury Garcia. Now Tony keeps saying Leury Garcia and hoping for pudding.

Exactly.

We don't take any pitches. He could have 15 in 50 pitches.

Borderline? The casual fan stopped watching a month ago. We're the only ones still watching.

I disagree. He won't be in the dugout next season. I don't we'll get anyone good, it will be another revolving door. Dusty will be available.

Idiot fan boys wasting money.

I'm cancelling my MLB subscription. I can watch actual quality baseball for free with my local channels.

Wait for them to put up five meaningless runs at the end of the game to lose 16-5

I wonder if Tony has any recordings of when he could actually manage. Maybe play a couple of them to motivate these guys? Gather the team around the old Victrola.

I may have been too optimistic when I predicted third place.

Even when Tony is almost right he pisses me off. Here in a game we have zero chance of winning he puts out a decent lineup. Games we might actually win, he puts out crap lineups. I must have missed that in old school baseball 101. Not since Ozzie have I seen a manager trying to lose games.

Every under achieving, overvalued, slacking, player on the team, which is basically everyone, should thank TLR for being so inept he covers for them.

Do you really think grown men need a rah rah speech? That shit is for movies. They need to their damn job. Everything this organization has to say is on the field sucking ass. They can't hit, they can't stop swinging at first pitches, they can't run bases, they can't hold the rare lead they get. But the right golden words from a manager will change everything. Changing the manager is a nice start but sending the rest of the roster packing and waiting another ten years is the reality.

Because the entire organization can't evaluate talent. Meanwhile today teams like the Astros keep locking up their top young players to five and six year contracts. This game will be unwatchable by the third inning. The Rays haven't been hitting, we counter with an emergency arm. We haven't been hitting, they counter with a Cy Young candidate. Start drink early.

Worst in baseball. It's probably too late to fire him to save this season.

I was expecting the major Texas cities to have a much higher rate than Chicago. I'm a little shocked by some of the cities on the list. Peoria? I didn't see that one coming.

What's crazy to me is Chicago has almost double the murders of Houston despite very similar populations.

I think an even better point is once something is illegal the police can take action. Like that picture posted earlier making it illegal allows the police to confiscate and arrest the owner.

That looks like a red flag to me.

I agree with every point. My guess is 90% of Americans would agree. It's the bought and paid for politicians that have a problem with them.

Most everyone here lives in a city or large suburb with police forces that in theory can respond in minutes. Gun advocates are strongest in rural areas where the response could be hours. People there need to be self reliant. I'm also thinking of a real estate agent who spends time in vacant properties with strangers. She feels better carrying and would quit immediately if she couldn't. I'm thinking of a trucker who necessarily sleeps in remote locations and had a gun safe installed in his sleeper. I have a lot of friends and family who own guns of all sorts. They are good, law abiding, people who have managed for decades to never break a law. They have all the same jobs as posters here. The same hopes and dreams. They grieve for victims just like non gun owners. I know we can do better. Demonizing all gun owners doesn't really help. Many even vote Democratic.
