One of the early assignments for my HS English students is analysing straw bans. Until I did a little research I was unaware how dependent some people with disabilities are on straws. There are always unintended consequences.

Time to crank up high school golf. I have a freshman that averaged in the mid 70s for 17 tournament rounds over the summer including a closing round four under 67 to win his age group. It's going to be a good year.

Even after I wouldn’t pay for the cassettes they sent without my permission, they sold me eight CDs for a $1.00 lol

Like all of my friends I quit while owing like $100 and no job. Somehow I managed to repair my credit lol.

Columbia House, I bought 12 cassettes for a penny. Pablo Cruise and the Eagles at Cominsky

I love the lyrics combined with seeing him as the young singer songwriter then as someone closer to my age.

There have been some politicians who really understand and follow through on the take responsibility, Al Franken comes to mind. But most are just as you described above.

The great thing today is how easy it is to keep a video record and go back to compare. I use V1 Golf and created libraries for most of my players.

I’m planning a small bike shed for my backyard. The bikes are getting in the way of my expanding wood working shop. I’m not certain if I like woodworking or buying tools.

Bottom line for me is everyone could be involved in a trade that makes baseball sense. Some players are more likely. I agree that he isn’t on the likely list.

I don’t disagree with you at all. There are a few more players I would add, but realistically no team would make the trade so it’s really not worth discussing.

Are you suggesting there isn’t anyone on any roster you wouldn’t rather have? Unless you know who you are getting how do you know it doesn’t make sense? Now if we start saying things like trading him for prospects, or trading for the most likely trade offers, then I’m inclined to agree. But if some team wants to grossly overpay, then it could, in theory, make sense.

I know it’s a little late but standing a little closer to the ball will force a slightly more upright swing and higher elevation. But here in Texas we want your ball flight with our wind and dry fairways.

Too bad we can’t set this to pop back up in 2022

How did the shed turn out?

Pete Rose was that your bet?

At a minimum check for underground utilities. Technically I installed not built, a shed on my property. It was built by one of the area schools and I bought it at a fundraiser. It arrived as four walls, a roof, and a floor. We leveled the floor, raised the walls, and put on the roof. The city told me that a permit was not required but I ran the risk of being liable if it was last acted incorrectly.

^this^ and I don't blame him.

No doubt. What we're looking at is how will spreads being published in the local papers affect the games? Plus, there isn't a lot of oversite on high school coaches and players, not like NCAA and the NFL. Seems like there could be some real temptation.

The Texas High School Coaches Assoc is already discussing what happens when we have lines for high school games. Don't think it is crazy. You can already bet teenager soccer matches around the globe, why not 17 and 18 year olds playing American football? Several of the off shore books already take action on televised high school games. I image the basketball coaches in Indiana must be considering the implications there.

Awesome proposal story. In other news it hit 102 here in San Antonio today. I just am getting over a bout of diverticulitis and I'm having cataract surgery this summer. I am feeling ancient.

My guess is the brakes pulsate at some frequency to avoid skidding (anti-skid). They probably found a way to increase the frequency. It kind of makes sense in that regard but I'm a little concerned, like you, that it was shipped that way.

Most contracts favor the team early and the player later. I’ve always looked at the average per year. Deals get structured this way hoping for increasing team revenues not expecting productivity to increase.

That’s a beautiful thought. I see both of y’all are kind of new posters, welcome to Soxtalk.
