Game over, big guy.

I thought Papa Joe i.e. Pedo Pete was the 'big guy.' I'm certain of it.

I grew up one County over in North MS where this is set. I'm really enjoying the stories.

Info is much appreciated.

drive over Togwotee Pass (Hatchet is on the pass) and go to Dubois. The pass is a very pretty drive and pretty easy for a mountain pass. If the road to Brooks Lake is open take a ride down it. There are some stunning views around the lake.

As far as a place near Gardiner to stay, there is a Days inn in Cooke City, Montana that isn't bad. Nothing fancy, but clean and a good location. To get too it you'll drive through Lamar Valley, where you'll see lots of Bison, and possibly wolves, there area also a few moose that hang out around Cooke City.

A guy comes to your school after being removed from another school due to multiple sexual abuse allegations and you put him in charge of off-campus overnight retreats for boys.

Catholics always wonder why us non-Catholics snicker at you. It's shite like this. And I know. You have a ready made excuse. You always do when it comes to young kids being molested by the clergy within your church. Just like your parents and grandparents had their excuses rehearsed and ready.

Poch coached Spurs to a Champions League Final. He also coached Southampton to their highest points total ever in Premier League history. No one else showing interest in our job had credentials like that. Much less someone willing to take the pay cut that coaching the US Men's Team would entail. Combine that with Chelsea paying his salary for the first several months he was coaching our players and it's a no brainer if he'd actually come.

Apparently that's one of the few smart decisions US Soccer has made over the last several years. An organization that, from the outside looking in, seems to be made up of very Liberal and not very intelligent former US Soccer players. The kind of C Suite that pisses away money as fast as they can while also doing a poor job. I'm sure they walk the halls with their heads held high while smiling and slapping each other on the back. All the while complimenting one another about how far the sport of soccer has come and how much it's grown while all being abject failures at their jobs. All taking credit for what the old guard of US Soccer and the 1994 World Cup accomplished.

We didn't hire Poch to win the Gold Cup. We didn't hire him to even compete in the fricking Gold Cup. We hired him to make noise in next summer's World Cup when we host it. I understand the current product sucks. But his time with the US will be judged (fairly or unfairly) by what this team does next summer. No one outside a handful of people on this board will remember this current shite fest. You know US Soccer is going to try and put it in their rearview as quickly as they can.

Batting avg as a metric is outdated

Correct

On Base % and OPS are a better indicator of how good a hitter is. Average is a flawed stat because all hitters aren't created equal. Batting Average with RISP is much more important stat than Batting Average.

It's just flawed logic to compare your 5'7" 2B speedster's batting average to your 6'4" 290lb lumbering 5 hole hitter. The 290lb 1B/DH hasn't had an infield hit the entire season. The speedster has 2-3 a week. Flipside you don't bench your speedster for not hitting HRs. He hits leadoff and gets on base at a .400 clip. Doesn't matter if he hits .235 so long as walks and gets HBPs often enough to have a high OBP %.


Don't get me started on Wins-Losses stat for pitchers.

Those are awesome photos.

Headed to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in August for the first time. Cannot wait.
