Do you really care if they get charged? You still were carjacked and have to deal with all that trauma.

The carjackers will follow their victims to the suburbs. Just like any business wants customers. You really won’t be safe anywhere.

I’m interested in where he signs and for how much. If another team has him examined and signs him to a multi year deal, I’m pissed with you. But I’ll wait and see how this turns out.

Exactly.

I was hanging with JR at a Murder She Wrote festival and he said he is looking at Plan B Medicare Benefits. I was intrigued.

Hmm. How many teams have his full medical report? And that one doesn't seem interested.

Without research and just thinking as I type, knowing there are always a couple gms willing to gamble. On the standard kind of deal side he'd get offered three years with options on a fourth at about $12 mil to $14 mil each. I'm not seeing a 3/45 with his history. So he'd face 1/16 with a huge 2023 free agent contract if he's successful for a full season or 3/36. I think that becomes a tough choice for him. But as mentioned, it's just tossing my first thoughts out there. I'll backpedal in a moment with other predictions.

It should be an easy decision. I only wish it happened sooner.

Here’s a little nightmare. What if you could get more for Liam?

He's going to rebound and have a solid 2022. Because that's how we roll.

I'll take the under. I was thinking 150.

He's either going to make some GM look brilliant or look like the biggest fool. What's his over under on innings pitched next year?

I can't image it any other way.

I much as I don't like to believe it, it seems like what we learned is get to October and hope like hell your back end players catch fire.

Greg is afraid of being carjacked and other violent crimes. As he pointed out, criminals have guns. If some guy just shot my wife and was aiming at one of my kids, you bet I'd rather have one of my guns in my hand than a cell phone or pepper spray. I may write to Greg in a joking way, but if Greg is serious about his fears, he needs a gun. I don't know how he sleeps at night. He also needs hours of training and many hours more of shooting practice. There are areas of this world this aren't pretty. If he has a job that takes him to those spots, perhaps late at night, he needs to protect himself.

I'm certain someone would.

I wish no WS being played was an option. I'd like to gauge that likelihood.

I can't wait to see what they will do with healthy players. I'm certain Anderson is happy and it's important to keep your stars happy.

As proven over and over here, this is one of the worst franchises in baseball. Advocating for keeping anything is tough. They should get a fresh start with new owners in a new city. Clear out everything and start over.

@Balta1701 How old were you in you in 1994?

An alternative to what? Pepper sauce? The bad guys have guns. You need a bigger gun

I'm not defending UTSA pool placement, their strength of schedule is very weak. Their only quality win was over Illinois. But gee at least get their name right.

And Greg, that iron won’t help anyone unless you get some serious training and stay sharp. You tend to freak out over shadow problems and some folks here have written to ol’ Tex and told him that G7 might be a tad too overreactionary for a serious weapon. A famous lawman of the 60s only carried one bullet and he wouldn’t load it unless there was a serious problem. He may be your role model. Don’t go all Dirty Harry when you feel those seven pounds of manhood on your hip.

You keep saying that until it will be too late. Get yourself to a nice gun shop this afternoon. I’d consider buying at least three. Something small and concealable on your person at all times. Then, in a slick car holster, something with a little more bang for when multiple bad guys are coming at you. Finally a good old shotgun for hunting up some food or stopping folks from stealing your provisions. Less than a $1,000 and you will travel and sleep so much better. Don’t forget the ammo!
