Happy for JV, that's pretty cool.


Seems fitting

He was overpaid as an Astro, but a much needed piece
Was told Sonnier getting the start tonight

You need to see what Cole and Smith are going to be. They have star level talent. Throw Matthews into that mix as well. The only way to know is having at bats for them. You can always make a trade in-season.


Yep

We will undoubtedly not regret keeping Paredes, likely for multiple reasons

A most definite possibility
His struggles were magnified having an equally young, overmatched G next to him.

Really an incredible run the Pats were able to make to get that far, given their shortcomings

Josh McDaniel did very little to help their situation yesterday, but the way Maye played, not sure it would have mattered.

Definitely in cases where hackers have stolen intellectual property/business related materials.

I know of a few.

But no way they're allowing a kidnapped human life to be ransomed on their watch. Just think of the consequences.

It would become commonplace.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul? I’d really like to understand these flows better.


Hell, I'm not even gonna try.

I took the opportunity to purchase close to 1000 shares of xAI barely over a year ago, and with the merger at 1:7, now hold roughly 135 shares of Space X. During that time, xAI bought X, so it's obvious Musk would probably prefer to somehow incorporate Tesla into this eventually.

My advisor is saying to sell the almost double profit prior to IPO, but also added that a Tesla merger is not likely imminent, because Musk doesn't have the control there like he does with these other ventures.

I will probably heed his advice.
Where's everybody gonna be this week/wknd?

Will be at Central for a scrimmage vs Parkview on Sat afternoon

Heard CHNI playing today at NISH in a jamboree

Who’s he talking to?

Astros management/ownership?

His mom?

An ex-girlfriend?

A 3rd string C trying to call a game?
It makes me think the owners are jealous of the NIL and portal and could care less about the league as it relates to fans and parity

We’re about to witness a bloody war with the only actual casualty being the true fans

But I’m ready for it. Old enough to say GTFO my lawn

I officially have no idea what the value of a dollar is as it relates to the salary cap and how to manage a roster in today’s game

So I guess Yale has a legit arm. :lol:

Last time I heard Yale and baseball in the same sentence was a George Bush reference
I saw him at the umpires tourney at Live Oak. Cold and windy. Faced a Kentucky committed arm and grounded out.

Only AB I got to see, but yeah, kid has size and tools and will be one to watch. Doubt he’s a big draft risk, but he can certainly make OK sweat it this year

Josh Smith didn't have an offer from LSU until he was about to commit to MSU before LSU finally offered.


I watched him play in a pre-season tournament for Catholic as a SO and he was committed to LSU at the time. Plenty of reasons to fault CPM, but identifying Smith as a prospect late isn't one of them
A descendant of Mao Tse-Teng, a failed semi-pro pitcher in the early 19-teens, who went on to lead the Communist Party in China

You have to be leery of failed minor league pitching prospects
The only real question is what is LSU going to do in the interim next year, waiting on Wade to give NC St the same commitment he gave McNeese

There are definite obstacles for him to take over next year. Some of his own doing.

You've went through way too much effort to justify your discussions.

Those that made you feel obligated to do that are not worth the effort and honestly won't understand. It's better when you narrow it down and dismiss the ignorance.

It's like dudes that go into a thread about deals at garage sales so they can tell people they buy junk. Mental masturbation.

I wasn't impressed with him, granted it was a short look.


Not sweating it for sure

That open wknd prior to the Super Bowl is always when it becomes apparent how much I miss baseball.

It doesn't help when weekend weather has continuously thwarted fishing or golfing. I even resorted to casino poker 2 out of the last 3 wknds. :lol:
If they can seriously come away from a meeting to announce that Belichik with his resume’ didn’t make the HOF, just think about what they have done and continue to do in determining who advances in playoffs, when every game’s outcome is ultimately based on a call that is subjectively reviewed.

LMAO. How can you take this seriously?
