THis dude talks like he played 10 years in the Bigs and won two CWS and three WS! He uses more words to say nothing or to say something that is obvious or doesn't make sense. Spent a 1/2 inning comparing the aTm 2nd game started to Ryan Prager, who he obviously idolizes, or has Aggie relations with! He is terrible. Tried to sync The Tiger broadcast to TV but 98.1 skips to current everytime you pause.
You like the "ball 4, ball 5, ball 6. . .) chant. Cults chant stupid shite. Just look at all the old liberals staging protests and chanting about orange man and elon. Laughable!
I agree but I bet Jordan thought as shallow as ball was the LF would go direct to plate and was hoping for an off-line throw. Instead he hit cut off man and SS made a good throw, as all SS's should from the apron.
All the cheers, handmotions, bubbles, etc are perfect for 8-10 year old entertainment. Yet there are a few thousand adults(?) participating and even leading the activities that are downright silly.
Bethany owns all the land to Reiger Road and sold a piece of it to Amazon for their Last Mile Fulfillment Center. And to my knowledge, no scandals at Bethany.

That dumb Hillbilly Antigua lingered around home plate and mouthed off after Jones touched home


No reason for the midget to be around home plate after a gigantic walk-off. By the time Bear got to home Antigua should have been in the dugout packing up his butt hurt gear. He must have wanted a confrontation (verbal only) to be in that spot.

If you can read, you know what you paid in taxes


Sorry not true. In business for years and the standard answer by all W-2 workers except highly paid professionals to my question of "how much did you pay in taxes last year" is: 1)"I did ok I got $2300 back", or 2)"I got killed. I owed Uncle Sam $1753.42. I've got to do something better".

No concept of marginal tax bracket, or effective tax rate, or changing withholding to avoid or lessen end of year check writing.

And I mean people with household income over $150k-200 and even much more. Incredibly unknowledgeable.

Not sure how you could be down this much unless you started your 401k this year.


People never remember their basis or the value 5 years ago. They only remember & reference the high value and therefore calculate their "loss" from that amount.
As I since you know, it's the long game that wins and lots of moving parts are in play that could fundamentally improve the US financial fortunes for generations. We were heading down a dangerous slope without anyone having the guts to correct the stupid mistake politicians have been making for 50 years.
I think we will come out in much better shape in 12 mths.

LSU made Dutton look like a great pitcher. He is average at best.


disagree. His stuff looked impressive and much improved from last year when he only had 2 pitches.

Agree! I am so tired of hearing about the line and the parlays and Jimmy big timing it in Vegas, Monaco, or whereever when you know that most of the time the sponsors are paying for him to stay and eat. I isn't good enough, IMHO, to be playing big dog if he had to do it all on his money.
But regardless, shame they don't interview people that know the sport for sake of reporting on it instead of those that are selling their picks.
Back in my stupid days I gambled. Buddy and I began to suspect some nefarious activity from the tout service we were using in Vegas. We did an experiment by calling the same oddsmaker on the same day about the same games. He regularly gave one side to me and the other side to buddy. Not on every call but he was hedging so that (we figured) half of his picks had some winners so he could call them back next week(as he always did when I won) to so "I told you about".

He’s been consistent and is calling it the same both ways. That’s his strike zone and both teams need to adapt to it.


Easier said than done. If you have ever faced a 90 mph FB you have to rely on all your training in a nanosecond to make a decision to swing or not.
Maybe you were better than me but I never had ability to recondition my years of strike zone education into adjusting to that 2-3 times per season ump who thought the zone started at the ankles and/or ended under the armpits. Its a matter of incompetence if he can't call pitches the way the rule book describes the zone.
She has lost weight (or maybe just body fat) and gotten slightly quicker. But still isn't a point guard like she came to LSU to be. Had she stayed she would have been a 2, MW moves to 3, FJ4 is a 4 and AM would have been the 5. That doesn't really work so HVL had to make a move.

Please Kim, sign a real PG

We have been killed all year by lack of a point guard. Gilbert can't do anything but sling it up there and looks scared at the first sign of pressure and then turns it over regularly.

CJJ strategy on Saturday

He was playing with house money by winning on Friday. While I know he wants to win them all I think he was only hoping to win one at UT this early in the season with so many inexperienced arms.
Looked to me like he was giving lots of guys a "tryout" on a big "away" stage, to see how they preformed and give them a chance to step up to pressure situations. Skip did similar "tests" to weed out the "not ready for prime time yet" guys and to toughen the "ready" guys for future big games.
Or, he just might have run through lots of bullpen guys who didn't live up to the hype - this time! Hopefully they will in the future.

I know a coach in Raleigh who could develop Chest. Wouldn't be surprised if Wade tries to get him.


Might be a little spite in that move but would be very ironic if he became a dominant, multi-skill player. Love to see it for him and WW.
Ump calling a low zone and giving couple inches off outside edge and we continue to watch and get rung up or give up crucial strikes in the count.
And half way between his knees and shoe tops. No way that is a strike. Jay has to have a talk with HP ump over that. Plant the seed

PBP guy not too bad, just MEH. But analyst talks too much and has an aggravating voice IMO.
