  1. Agreed. They should go to college and learn a life skill and avoid that whole baseball scheme. The odds of making real money are so slim versus being a PE teacher, insurance agent, etc. It's a waste of their time.

    Summer Plans

    Despite another cold front hitting I'm busy planning for summer. Normally this would have been a Maine through Canada and back year but instead we decided on the UP.
  3. Just 67 years young. Makes me sad.
  4. No. Will you be supporting all future abusers? If the choice is stopping supporting abusers and being labeled a hypocrite for not objecting in the past or continuing to support abusers, I'll gladly be labeled a hypocrite. Look at the Hawks thread, plenty of folks walked away from the Hawks, but not the Sox. I guess we're all hypocrites.

    2022 Catch All

    I've seen a few models with mounts for motors. I think it will be useful in a few spots for us. I at least want the option.
  6. Which means his owner loses even more.
  7. Cutting the regular season back to say 152 games makes each of those games more important. There are a balance between no playoffs and the team with the best record gets the title and everyone in the playoffs. I've wanted top two in each division plus the next two teams with the best record.
  8. I'll bet they lead the conference in GPA. Lol
  9. Yep, I'm making new decisions as I grow in life. My values have changed.
  10. No to In-N-Out because I have gone there and Whataburger is vastly superior. No Marriott because I have a RV and Choice Hotel points. No to Forever 21 because why? Tommy Bahama and Lands End have me covered. I'll be back at Cracker Barrel and Tyson. But who knows maybe that will change and I'll have to acknowledge those mistakes as well.
  11. I'm thinking this would be a great season to follow college baseball instead of just when they reach Omaha. My college team, the UTRGV Vaqueros (D1), are 3-0 and drew over 4,000 this weekend.

    2022 Catch All

    I'm looking at the Sea Eagle 380x. Since I'm pulling a camper I just don't want to deal with a kayak rack on my truck. I need a tandem and I'm thinking for the future one that I can mount a small electric onto.
  13. My high school team opened their season last night. I have several area colleges with D1 to NAIA teams, and the Frisco RoughRiders (Texas AA) come in to play the Missions (SD AA) on April 12th. No shortage of baseball here. How's Northwestern's team?
  14. I will not be going to ChikfilA today even though I've gone there in the past. Admittedly it was a mistake I made then. In it's place I will be eating Kellogg's cereal which I boycotted during the worker strike. I will also choose Joanne Fabric over Hobby Lobby for a project I'm doing even though again, I made a poor choice at the time, and I am embarrassed to say I shopped there. I'm trying to be forthcoming about my past mistakes and the new decisions I'm making.
  15. Like they did with the DH? Because I prefer playoff baseball to April or late September? Baseball went from America's game to dying before our eyes while basketball and football crushes it. Move into the 21st century. I've been advocating for thirty years to go to eight teams. The rest of the world is finally catching up.

    2026 Plan

    I would need to actually do some research but it seems that players are reaching the majors quicker but also retiring or facing serious injury quicker. I'm guessing because they have to push themselves to the limit to get a chance. Thirteen years seems crazy to wrap up a player.
  17. I'm all in on a 155 game season and expanded playoffs. Make it permanent.
  18. No reason to if they can get both. I'm thinking they can't get both.
  19. Perhaps not with an additional playoff round. Plus we're not certain MLB is being smart.
  20. @Chisoxfn made a great comment in the settlement thread. Could you owners be angling for a late start, shorter season (150 games) and expanded playoffs? Call it temporary for this year then make it permanent.
  21. Every decision I make, from what I ordered at breakfast to what I will do at practice today, is guided by previous mistakes and successes. So can I issue a blanket I made mistakes in the past and continue to learn from them and am trying to do better?
  22. Why? Can't we just keep making better decisions? But ok, how do you suggest we face up to those times? I'm doing that by making different decisions now.

    Covid cough for eight weeks now. I'm so tired of coughing.
  24. I'm out if they sign him and that's not hyperbole.
