Now this is how you promote your song.

My parents have been going out to eat a lot and every now and then let it slip how reckless they've been, such as hanging out with a friend all the time. If they were in a pod, I wouldn't care, but it becomes clearer and clearer that they aren't, because they're around their friend's grandchildren. Who go to school. Or they see another friend. I could go on. On Saturday my dad told me "made it" and was "three days away" from the finish line (their shots are scheduled at 2 A.M. Wednesday, but he was counting it as Tuesday for all intents and purposes). I told him he's forgetting about the second shot and that he sounds like every police office that's two days from retirement. I'm glad they're getting the vaccine, but it's really damaged our relationship.

Logan Glass and Duke Ellis are 80 Grade names.

Parents are scheduled for Wednesday in Arizona. I'm scheduled for Thursday in New York.

That's pretty amazing - and also goes to show how multi-faceted and talented these athletes can be.

Came in thinking this was gonna be a hot mic situation, but nope, this dude was fully aware that this was a broadcast event. Amazingly stupid that he'd do something that could risk Seattle's historic appeal to Japanese players. I feel like it'd be the Sox fucking up their Cuban connection.

Would you say this is a personal disaster?

I haven't watched any Hawks games outside of them decimating the Bulls, so I was curious.

How do we feel about John Collins?

Yeah, the Texas politicians that loved shitting on California are ghouls. You may also recall Ted Cruz working to get the government shut down when Colorado flooded in 2013. Or how he railed against disaster relief in wake of Hurricane Sandy. So, there's a lot of desire to tell him to pound sand ... and then you remember there are people in Austin, Houston, Dallas, the suburbs, rural Texas, etc., who don't have power and shouldn't have to answer for the mistakes of idiots like that.

Because global warming means that hundred year events are happening every few years.

At this point, I'm on the same train as you. LaVine and Williams are keepers, but everyone else can have a for sale sign. And of course, go for Lonzo. I'd be willing to keep Carter - he clearly has impact, but the man is glass. Coby can probably stick around, but his only role can be a bench scorer. Right now, I'm hoping the Bulls can somehow land a Top 5 and nab Kuminga. Youngest player in the draft and he looks fantastic in the G League, playing NBA style ball against vets and recent draftees. I'd also take a hard look at Dashien Nix if the Bulls can somehow get a mid-first rounder - maybe a team bites on Thad?

One of my friends from college was supposed to debut last season as the new radio announcer for the Red Sox AA team, but that obviously got delayed. They were previously the announcer for a Royals affiliate for two seasons, but that team lost affiliation. That could have derailed everything.

G-League Ignite are fun to watch right now. Kuminga is lighting things up.

Was that before or after he was hit in the face

This man may truly be cursed.

Y'all mean to tell me Jose isn't gonna hit 162 RBIs and that extrapolating a small sample size over a full season is silly?

For what it's worth, it took until page 13 of the Sale / Moncada trade thread until someone expressed that opinion. That person, now thrice-banned poster, said they'd prefer Benintendi because Moncada "strikes out at a horrific rate" and has an "MiLB OPS was about 75 points lower than Adam Eaton." Good thing that person isn't a scout.

Yeah, this isn't cancel culture. This is more like standard HR.

Good thing Disney hedged their bets by not announcing her as the star following the previous incidents.

Different teams do different rankings.

So it would become a problem when we no longer have Bauer, thus freeing up money for Giolito? Meaning this would be the perfect time to add Bauer?

Kevin Harlan and announcing idiots on the field is an iconic duo.

It's ok everyone. We don't need a Bauer. Cease is going to storm out the gates as a #1, taking to changes immediately. Kopech won't need to be stretched out. Lopez is a great #6. God fucking damnit Jerry.
