The Swamp

If I were grading my takes posted here from best to worst, the Tkachuk trade is pretty close to my peak.

The one I have is a handheld not the huge volcano. Same brand.

Hunter Brown giving up 11 hits (or 12 baserunners) has to be something close to a modern record for a single inning (2/3 really), right?

mister d

... and then immediately placed him on LTIR effective October 1st?

Had one and stopped using it when pens became a thing. Too much work, not portable, too long to get all the shit done before smoking, clogs up. Didn’t give me that much of a superior buzz so I would just end up smoking the weed instead of going through the prep. Gave it to a buddy who promptly gave...

mister d

Yeah, that's why I'm asking. Is 45 year old me just carrying along the opinion formed by a 17 year old contrarian or is it somewhat grounded in fact?

mister d

Should absolutely, 100% be weaponized against the party that says all LBGTQ+ people (and those straight people who don't vilify trans kids) are pedophiles.

mister d

Nice Giff. Running a little parallel here because my apathetic B- 6th grader has turned into a straight As, pissed off with anything less 7th grader. I'm not huge on grades at that age as long as she's learning, so its definitely any kind of pressure coming from us, just something clicked. Took me u...

Senior year of HS, left class and went to the senior lounge where someone had a radio.

(Is it controversial to say they may have gotten the verdict right given the case presented despite OJ being 100% guilty?)

I enjoyed everything except the guy named Kool-Aid not getting into the first round.

mister d

Pitchers before the 90s worked as fast if not faster without a clock but they didn’t have the velocity/spin today’s pitchers do. But I think that's it. Even before considering repertoire changes, pitchers before the 90s intentionally paced themselves. All but a handful of pitchers today would get d...

mister d

Sooo … Westbrook? Dirk?

mister d

Knowing that (1) the pitch clock isn’t going away and (2) pitchers will never voluntarily ramp it down, I’m increasingly convinced 3 pitch walks is the solve.

mister d

Kemp is the guy DFA’d for Holliday.

mister d

Its even funnier that they won the xG matchup last night.

mister d

These past two days are the best case you'll find for the super league. It would still suck and ruin the CL, but these matches are insane.

mister d

No spoilers on whether she catches it.

Also excellent on HIMYM.

It remains a tremendous movie in the way some of those 90s movies are tremendous to a certain subset of 40-somethings.

mister d

In order: Cantlay, Fitzpatrick, English, Moore

mister d

I don't know my most quoted movie line ever, but that's in contention.

mister d

I really hope the next CBA the players address these shenanigans. Push the date to mid-season or so and put some pressure on teams to promote earlier in the season or risk keeping a better player out longer. Or maybe do what the NBA does and tie it to the awards. Like if they make an all-rookie tea...

mister d

There is a part of me, and its likely a very stupid part, that would prefer coming out of this even versus +1.

mister d

It would have taken me longer to point to the perfect spot to shoot there than it took Foden to actually hit that spot.

mister d

Dentist ran long so I got to miss the entire first half. Looked ... interesting?

mister d

And probably don't want to agree to be a backup.

mister d

Right, but even if Sargent were there, I can't imagine he's playing over Balogun.

mister d

What's kinda cool is we've skipped like a whole step where now being good at Norwich still doesn't make you national team level. Used to be the best strikers in MLS were getting run.

mister d

Prices got out of control for worse portions (or so I thought). They smell weird? Drinks kill people. Basically a slightly above-average option that I personally ding extra points because they got lazy and bad from a much better starting point. Its the same as Dominos logic where its almost impossi...

mister d

So anytime we come across someone who is annoying and won't shut up, one of us will say to the other "so, have you been to a Panera lately?" Similar, we have broken silences with "sure is a lot of cheese" for like 20 years now after an extremely hungover breakfast in Ocean City ...

Sid had about a 4-5 minute stretch in the second where he got fucked up 3 times. He got hit with a high stick right in the mouth but dude was swinging at the puck and just slammed the puck into his mouth with his stick. Bleeding too so went from a double minor to no penalty. Didn't watch but twitte...

mister d

I don't either but it would be such a facewash to all the Villanova fans who are like "he's done but if he does decide to return to coaching he would never do it anywhere else".

(Most ideally he'd come to the Knicks but that doesn't seem to be in play either unless Thibs decides to walk.)

mister d

It seems like one of those situations where your own advanced scouting team should have a big say. Is there something other pitchers have figured out that Vlad can't overcome or, like you said, is it outside stuff and there's reason to believe the .300/.400/.600 guy is going to be back. Lots of Cody...

It almost looks like he called the pitch as a fuck you to Torres for giving up on it without at all realizing why Torres gave up on it. It must suck so much shit to be on the same crew as him.

I felt really dumb when I learned that's just her real name.

mister d

I really, really want Jay Wright to take that job.

I was listening to a good portion while driving but since Sterling can’t see, they weren’t really going in on Hernandez. Squeezing pitchers early (when both teams had bases loaded walks) or something else?

mister d

(Just looked. Going into last night he was last in goals for forwards over 750 minutes played.)

mister d

I wonder how often a forward doubles their season goal total in their 75th game. Like I’m sure plenty of 3rd pair D score their 2nd of the year late, but has to be pretty rare up front.
