E Notebooks
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.

Jeffrey Epstein
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.

Jeffrey Epstein
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.

Jeffrey Epstein
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.

Noisy Ballparks
Yeah, no on the sax.

Jeffrey Epstein
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.

2019 Catch-All
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

Am I a jerk?
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.

2019 Golf/PGA Tour Thread.
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.

David Crosby Documentary
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?

Alcides Escobar Released
https://amp.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article233524952.html Despite his release, Escobar is tied for fifth in the International League in doubles (28), tied for fourth in RBIs (70) and was slashing .286/.343/.444 for the Knights. 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.

It seems they built the wall in El Paso on the wrong side to keep them safe.

Ricky's inspirational message on the line up card
Not directly to your post and I'm thinking more about GMs and coaches than fans. A large amount of data is important to assess the past. But a sharp baseball mind can see changes that will change the arc. That ability separates the top front office types from the rest of humanity. You can think back to the halcyon days of "Coop will fix 'em" or the horror of "Walker will break 'em" days.

Alcides Escobar Released
You believe that story? Lol

Alcides Escobar Released
I was more interested when I misread the headline thinking it was Pablo getting released from jail. Hey kid, sign here, we'll give you this and that and this too . . . Then stuff changes. Maybe if the team was winning. Maybe if X gets hurt, or not hurt. I'm wondering if they promised to trade him.

FS: White Sox Prioritize Savings in Strange Deadline Trade
Sigh. We can't have nice things (top free agents) because we are saving for the future seems hollow when they make this deal.

Why WAR is stupid for Closers, especially for Colome
To accomplish this in the early days a scout would get on trains, planes, and automobiles to watch the guy play. Then videotape allowed scouts to stay in the office and open their mail to check talent. Now scouts can search the internet for a video. But a sharp eye for talent is now marginalized for mathematical equations. We want general managers and field managers to just check the stats and do whatever the stats suggest is best. Bmags post makes a lot of sense to me. I use advanced golf stats to help my players plan efficient shot selection and ultimately lower their scores. I'm not as interested in baseball stats because I prefer to watch and evaluate.

I believe I saw Rice use this in a College World Series game about ten years ago.

Jeffrey Epstein
After looking at this again, they kept saying trying to get a transfer. He may have faked an attack and crawled up in the fetal position to get transferred to better conditions.
