Market/Financial Thread
I'm looking at 2030 or later before I'll possibly need it. Rory McIlroy and I invested $10,010,000 in Drive Shack and it's lost about 80% of it's value in the past six months. That will wipe out most any gains I projected for this year. I'm hoping for a change in leadership but it doesn't seem likely. Moving from a passive investing strategy using mutual funds, real estate, and angel financing, to a more active approach is not working out yet. But every education has a price.

Gas. High Gas (prices).
Where is the social distancing? Notice how they are all dressed so nice?

Vacation/Travel Thread.
Honestly if you like wine you are guaranteed a good trip. The competition is so fierce that bad places are gone in an instant. There is some hiking and activities on the river like SUPs. Things were insanely expensive when I was there a few years ago. I think we looked into a hot air balloon package and it was like $2,000 for a two hour trip for two people (breakfast afterwards was another $50). Having never taken a balloon trip that may be reasonable, but it seemed crazy to me.

Market/Financial Thread
FUD Inflation, Recession, Stagnation. Most stocks are down. Time *in* market is the key. They will rebound so unless you are planning on retiring over the next two years keep investing. This is the buy low part of the equation. There are lots of bargains. Except for DS. It will continue to suck and remind me to not jump in so fast on new companies. I'm hanging on because I want to see that big ass red number every day. It keeps me humble.

TLR 2022 Thread
Again I ask. Isn't that also a function of pitchers not needing to pitch around them? Why nibble at the corners against this team?

That would get someone a couple day suspension.

TLR 2022 Thread
Could it be that Sox pitchers weren't throwing strikes? As bad as the Sox are hitting, if I was an opposing pitcher I'd be throwing nothing but strikes. Why walk guys that can't get a hit?

Lineup Once Yoan Returns
It would work. I'm not 100% on Abreu leading off the second but I guess we can pretend we get a first inning runner. I think I would flip those two.

Loveable losers.

Time to Sacrifice Dallas
If we had scored some runs today I'd be more upset at pitching. A decent right fielder might have gotten to that ball that Sheets watched fall. I'm going to put Dallas in third place for reasons we lost. I'm putting Tony in first for another awful lineup. The offense second.

Well one of my wine clubs is offering $5 glasses on any open bottles. I think it's time to turn this off and enjoy a couple glasses of wine with my wife under the oak trees. I love playing red wine roulette.

Scary but IIRC he's owed $20 mil for 2023 if he pitches 160 innings this year.

I actually rushed leaf vacuuming and power washing my driveway and sidewalk today to watch this.

I'm thinking a solo homerun in the 9th to ruin the shutout
