I had to go out when the game was 1-1 and come back to a third straight blowout. Damn.

Agree, a Cody MITB win then cash in would make sense. Have Cena use interference to win the match, then Cody destroys the interference, cashes in and wins clean.

This is the route my mother went. Leaving it untreated seemed risky, and I'd say it cleared up her symptoms a good amount, though the memory functions never returned to any kind of normal, but she's also in the senior age range. Overall, I'd say it was a successful procedure and corrected a few things.
1-9, with four walks. Getting on base is still getting on base.
I don't think the Colts are going to be very good, this video may be the highlight of their season.

re: Kidney Transplants, Anyone?

Thank you all for responses since I last posted. Very helpful for different reasons and different ways but all taken as positives. I'm keeping crazy busy with stuff this month when it's not appointments. New exercise routine, working on writing a book (not about my kidney adventures), just anything positive and healthy that keeps the mind active and moving, except the challenge of trying to shut it off when I need sleep. :lol: My longwinded writing style would turn this into an Oscar acceptance speech, but all support, experiences shared, everything told to me has provided a positive boost.

Horsemeat, if you want to reach out to me to talk about your situation, my email is 3100Travels@gmail.com - I'm open to sharing my experiences, as time goes on, what I went through, and being that you're a one kidney adventurer, hopefully I can be a positive contact.

Rey.... Tiger - My listed status is official, but it seems to be only for living donors with the idea being a currently-performing/active kidney providing a longer lifespan than from the deceased. I was told that if I can't find a donor myself, that the wait list time would be 2 to 4 years most likely.

dstone - bring the stories, I'm interested.

A bump for the thread-following folks. Not much new since previously updated. I've made a connection with the mentor I sought. Nice to be able to directly speak to someone who's been there. I forget who asked about emailing, my contact info is somewhere in this thread, I'm still interested.

No movement on status of donor. Some conflicts with brother lately that have made him look like an a-hole. Guy's been lying to our mother about stuff and she believes everything. But 95% of the talk she has with people revolves around anything he would go through for surgery, recovery, and telling people I'm doing great (I'm not). The issue with him is he knows my condition isn't well, and a transplant would be a huge boost to change things, but he went as far as to tell me I'm our mother's caretaker, like he has no interest to be here. In my condition, I have to save energy to take care of myself.

So she's telling everybody that my brother is my donor, it's set, but that the hospital hasn't called yet and she doesn't know why (he hasn't gotten x-rays or colonoscopy required as a donor...) He's had all the excuses that I've basically reopened any attempts to gain support and get new people to participate as volunteers. When I began, I wondered if people volunteered if they would follow through, and if they didn't, how would that affect me. I'm starting to find out now.
Mock drafts a year away are likely less to do with team needs than it is slotting players where they think they should go, regardless of team. I mean Cleveland could go 15-2 and then they're not in a position for the #1 pick.
I just got home to tune in, hoping to see a close game. Holy shite, Playoff Hellebuyck is alive.

I'd forgotten about this movie, thanks for reminding.

Non-ball knower was trying to say THE JUDGE doesn’t make the players around him better.

Pretty impressive what a guy you call "SoSo" did to lead his team to a WS at just 20 years old. Oh wait, that was with the Nationals!

Sanchez being a career .230 hitter with NY isn't really being "made" by Judge, but that's cute.

Gio's Yankees numbers declined in each of his three seasons with the team, but okay.

DJ having a declining BA over a 5 year span with NY is because of Judge being on the team??

Voit's best year was a Covid shortened season, so if you want to count playing one-third of a regular season you can have that.
The homes look like the size of a lunchbox, that's wild
I hope you enjoyed your attention. It's clear you can't have an honest discussion about claims made, evidence to dispute it, and still repeat the same dumb shite over and over and over while ignoring proof of player stats declining under Judge's watch. Good luck to the rest of the MSB to argue with you, kid.
quote:

Honey, they’re not on the field at the same time unlike in basketball, football, soccer, etc. It’s more like, one guy shoots a 65, another shoots a 70, and the rest of his team shoots a 79. You noticed that SoSo, LeMahieu, Voit, Sanchez, Urshela, etc had decent years with Judge as the leader. Where are they? Judge MADE these guys. Judge would probably have a sub-3.0 ERA.

You're welcome.

Judge is only one of nine. If this were basketball, the Yankees would be better than the Thunder. At this point, it doesn't matter what Judge does, if the rest of the team is garbage. It's like Judge is consistently GOAT-level, Goldschmidt is good, and everyone else is inconsistent to bad. If Judge is the only one playing well, you can just IBB him like a pansy. So in some ways, you can nerf the GOAT by just issuing walks.



Leaders make their teammates better. This disappoints me to hear that after all your building him up as the savior to lead them to a championship, he's not raising the play of the team around him.

Are you gonna post again about the Mets having a better record in April?


Do they? Anyone can post about it just like you do every time Judge hits a homer.
