Kendall Graveman agrees to deal w/Sox 3/$24
Way to work Tony's DUI into the post. I had butterscotch pancakes for breakfast, I bet Tony would say hold the butter. Lol. Let's all play the game.

Wander Franco 12 year extension?
I think teams like the Mets, Marlins, and Tigers should be embarrassed. It's also misleading to just look at the largest contract by itself. I believe average payroll tells more. Signing one player to a $200 million contract to move up the list then play cheap everywhere else isn't good money management. But, I do agree we don't have an owner/ organization willing to go big on one contract.

I didn't read that at all in the article. He's been doing this for along time and decided this is his last contract. If anything he might feel an extra allegiance to Reinsdorf for actually hiring him. Reinsdorf is actually a living example of what Kenny is asking for, owners willing to give minority candidates a chance.

One day with a Pixel 6. So far making the transition from Samsung has been easy.

And then there are folks who don’t want to die at work. Retirement is a financial condition not an age. He could enjoy the fruits of his labor while watching games from a villa in Tuscany or whatever he wants to do. If he has only two more years on the contract I wouldn’t be shocked if he retired.

Especially when the reduced price is what someone would normally spend and the regular price is crazy.

Photobucket just tried the if you don’t opt out we’re moving you from free to $100 per year. It took a couple days but they relented and refunded my payment. I hadn’t used them in years and was literally in the hospital when the emails arrived.

I like Kenny a little more after his statement. I like being a Sox fan a little more when I realize the number of barriers the organization has broken.

2021 Catch-All
The Hotel Granduca in Austin had to evacuate all guests at 3:30 am because of a reported fire in the building. Guess how I know? I really wish I thought to grab my truck keys. I could unlock, start, fire up the generator, but not actually drive anywhere. Fortunately we were back inside about a half hour later. We smelled smoke from the kitchen area so they must have caught something before it was a bigger problem. I'll be interested at checkout what they are doing to compensate the guests. At close to $300 a night I'm hoping for something more than a later checkout.

It was. We had a great time. My grandson was watching his first game in person. It wouldn't have been as much fun if I was an alum.

When will you defend yourself? After they kill your family? We keep protecting the criminals until they run the world. Pull a gun on me and we'll see who shoots first.

Bear spray works nice. Or just give them your car. It reduces their stress when people just go along with the criminals. I'm certain they get a little nervous before jacking someone's car. If they knew folks will just politely place their valuables on the passenger seat and exit their vehicle it would allow the thieves to drive off safely. That easy everyone's stress would go down and no one gets hurt. Perhaps have a decal on your car that shows you won't shoot them or hit them with a face full of mace. That way the criminal won't get all nervous and hurt the victims.

I look at the ages and calculate how many more years for myself. 90 seems ok.

2021 Catch-All
In the end living a normal life after a traumatic event like that is the most important part. I doubt there is much of a difference in what, if any, punishment happens. You still have the nightmares.
