Yet you said you didn't want guys who were overpaid the final years on their contracts.

I was agreeing with you until the final statement. With baseball contracts the player is almost always overpaid the last couple of seasons. They are often times underpaid towards the start of the contract. You will always have players you are overpaying for that season, underpaying some players, and a few unicorns will be exactly what they are worth.

Sigh, look at former players from circa 2000. McDowell or Buehrle. #expecttheworse Joking, a little

We're not in Kansas anymore . . .

I'm assuming you live in the Chicago area. Since this is labor only lets break it down. Two workers should be able to remove your old stuff in one day. The carpet will be fast, the tile show. So 16 hours of labor. One worker should be able to install 500 square feet in one day. So two guys, one day, 16 more hours of labor. I'm at 32 hours. I don't have a calculator but I think that's around $75 per hour to the company. It seems like it's in the ballpark. Have you considered doing some or all of it yourself?

They scan in less than a second. I have six different places for the scans to go which also saves time. I like being able to have the pages as a real notebook until I choose to erase them. So far it's been handy.

Bigruss, is the step in the bathroom or outside the bathroom? Depending how they mounted the carpet you may have glue residual to worry about. I was thinking finishing the concrete by either acid or paint. Pictures would help.

At least a couple of my friends are nervous enough to not want to travel beyond south Texas. That pisses me off and makes me really sad to realize that a lot of people believe that makes America great again. The same guy probably yells and screams throughout the anthem at Hawk games.

Next interesting step, where did he get his money. I just finished a NYTimes article that indicates banks are looking into his finances.

It's unfair to accuse everyone who ever hung out with Epstein of being pedophiles. I believe it's even unfair to accuse those who hung out with Epstein and have checkered sexual pasts of infidelities of also being pedophiles. There's a leap there that some people will not cross even if they like to have extramarital sex with interns and porn actresses.

Plus Trump's justice department had control of Epstein at the end. So yeah, Trump may really have had a vendetta against him. Good points.

I was the opposite. I'd take a lot of notes then lose the notebook.

I finally noticed e notebooks and picked up the Rocketbook Everlast. What a time saver. It's a great time to be alive. Any tips or tricks? I designate home and work targets for the pages.

Possible? No doubt they both were, along with a loooong list of the rich and powerful from around the world. There is a ton of evidence. Now let's see if the Clinton and Trumps of this world avoid any fallout.

I was answering your what does this have to do with Trump question. It seemed like an honest question. As I said the international list of rich and famous friends makes the Hollywood #metoo seem tame by comparison. Lots of people with motive.

Private calendar girl contest. 28 girls in a private show for Trump and Epstein. Various other events and trips. An old quote from Trump praising Epstein and saying Epstein likes beautiful women some very young. They hung out together. Trump has bragged how he can just grab women. It's another accusation. Hollywood's #metoo looks tame compared to Epstein and the list of internationally rich and powerful that he's linked to. More men behaving criminally to have sex.

I'm shocked /green

Yeah, no on the sax.

I was thinking if this was 15 years ago conspiracists would add it to the Clinton death squad conspiracy, or do we start a Trump death squad list? Either way when the powerful can't help anymore the world gets cold.

Dead. Suicide.

It's been over 100 all week. It will continue to be over 100 for the next four or five days. Our AC just failed. Parts will take three or four days to arrive. Fml

No you aren't a jerk. You actually did more than I would have by sending a message. I hate confrontations so I would have just kind of ghosted them until they went away.

I have four seniors this year that will all sign to play college golf. The first one committed to Sterling College in Kansas. Brrr. Great kid who will be right at home. Two more will be D1 somewhere and the third D2.

Anyone planning on catching the new David Crosby documentary? I've been reading a few articles about it and surprised that he's basically burned every bridge with everyone he's performed with from the Byrds to CSN&Y. He seems like he's really regretting some of his life choices. I'm also thinking of other guys who were really talented but basically ruined their chances with bandmates. Negron with Three Dog Night, Perry with Journey. How many drugs do you have to do to get kicked out of a rock band?

Escobar perhaps was upset when the White Sox had a roster opening and recalled another former Royals infielder instead of Escobar. Ryan Goins, who was released by the Royals earlier this season, was brought up from Charlotte on July 17. Goins is batting .271 with two homers, four doubles and nine walks in 16 games with the White Sox.
