I remember him well.
We could have had trains, Dwight.
Had it all the way.
I would read a newsletter devoted to line play.
Finally we learn which teams God loves.
Heading to NYC for Climate Week, then Boston. Two of my favorite cities.
It is.
He seems like good coach, good fit.
If you're not the customer, you're the product.
I was shocked.
I wouldn't be petting that one.
Day brightened, and thanks.
Of course, they also require that you drive on I-10 in Louisiana. Full test for shock absorbers.
One of the very few shows I made it a point to watch.
Life chooses your teams for you, I think.
Lots of it.
Counterpoint: Houston is great.
I believe he is their third-best available starter at the moment. Maybe fourth.
Oh, c'mon. This timeline.
He brought a useful insight, then lost me by changing the product to What Nate Thinks.
Almost exactly the size of a reporter's notebook. With infinite pages.
Also, if you win, they don't let you play anymore.
Require cash payments.
Good general life advice.
Isn't that half the outcomes?
Cards should be in 4 colors, and TV displays should be in 4 colors even more.
Every review should happen at 1x speed. If you have to go slow-motion to see a little semi-bobble, it should not count.
Ready to join the cast of Guys and Dolls.
Can we have some more?
Skip is describing himself?
Dude, that cat can go to hell, vanquish demons, and return stronger.
MLB Audio handles ads about like a toddler handles crayons. Amateur stuff.
Demand drives the business.
Large American cities are among the safest places on earth.
All right. Let's go.
Yup.
Yeah, this is basing your vote on the performance of other players.
Great way to get long, deep scratch marks on your arms.
This season feels like they're walking a tightrope.
Up 2 with 34 left.
"Oil and gas get most of the attention, but clean energy has been the Texas economic boom’s secret ingredient. All but 6% of new electric capacity added to the state’s grid since 2020 has come from renewables or batteries." And energy use is up over 25% in that time! 1/2
"Am I talking my book?"
"Curiosity" not on the list, strangely.
Downtown Houston late 1980s was not great. It is now festive. Big park, sports stuff, great bars and restaurants. In the past two years, I've been to LA, Chicago, NYC, Atlanta, Seattle, Dallas and Portland, never felt in any way unsafe.
It was 2009 when he was elected, not 1983. But probably the average voter was born in around 1950.
Jim Rice is in, and he didn't even get to 400 homers. He got a lot of "most feared" and "hardest hitting" talk too.
I have a first-page test for books: "Do I like it?"
Right! I noticed that first and then went looking to see who else was missing. PhD level stuff.
And LBJ.
What happens to the wine when you pull real hard to break the adhesive?
I interviewed a guy in June who said this is one of his recession indicators.
To do what?
Maybe we should view sex as a happy by-product of a good relationship?
I stayed up to watch a Braves game on TV end at 4 in the morning once. There were fireworks after the game.
This was my offbeat museum stop on a recent trip. It implies the existence of other agricultural museums in Washington.
For whom?
I'm not sure that would be a bad thing. The Urías deal seems quite helpful. If the injured guys make it back, it's a strong team. Feels like Alvarez is everything.
My first R movie!
It occurs to me that a person could use a large, weird bet with the intent of putting a key player under investigation.
I'm trying to think of a clever way to say that conclusion seems entirely reasonable.
AI is going to add jobs in the field of correcting AI.
Also the chance the driver will take a few bites.
Fun game: "told Rotating Rock"
If I had a silly amount of money, I'd pay someone to re-create the statistical history of baseball without errors.
Worst pitching performer of the day vultures the W.
Many, many digits.
Good read here about how Houston's nonprofit journalism effort never connected.
I worked in downtown Houston in the late 1980s, and it wasn't great. Now it's absolutely festive. Games, shows, restaurants, a great park, lots of new apartments.
Kara and Kalanick going to help make backgammon big again.
Worthwhile Non-Canadian Initiative.
And finding several.
Then got three outs to finish the inning without allowing a run.
105.2, boom.
This graphic may explain Christian Walker's tough start for the Astros this year.
You could have a win floor. Either win at least 63 games or pay up. Make the playoffs every eight years or pay up.
I found some boxes.
Asking questions is a magical technique that allows people to learn about others and become more interesting to them.
No evidence of that so far!
Even this post doesn't do the one thing that might help -- ask a question.
Good stuff! I miss him in Houston.
There might be other reasons. Dozens of them.
When "nobody complained" and "everybody complained" lead you to the same conclusion, maybe your logic is off.
"Eliminating competitors" is often first on the list.
Watterson's commencement speech at Kenyon is one of the best.
I received this too and was dumbfounded.
I guess this is good?
It would be a close game between the current roster and the group on the IL.
Dave.
Min cash no bag. 😐
Nice! I'm trying the Mini Main today. First WSOP event.
I thought that's what LSU hired him for.
I was worried about this homestand. 🤷
They should put that on the internets.
I could see it working. I could definitely see it not working.
People feel invested when they supported the winner, and RCV lets more people feel that way. "Hey, at least my second choice won."
My take has been that Manfred let the Astros keep the trophy in exchange for not putting MLB into a leaguewide scandal. Not based on anything other than my reading.
Jaffe says he's a little short. I would vote for him in a minute.
Bears being bears. No problem at all.
Pretty sure I had a terry cloth shirt and a pair of jeans with designer back pockets from them a few years back. Extremely cool, of course.
Yes. I'd rather walk.
