Difficult to watch that video... Normally you get a lot more time with ALS, her's really did move fast..... Rest in peace.

They have certainly been pretty terrible lately..... I'm about to the point where I'd sell half the team....
 

Throwball is a good way to describe it without getting offensive to any remaining fans I guess. I miss hitting too much to get into today's NFL. Now the plays I miss are penalties and ejections....

I believe myself that the playoffs should include the conference championship games. The winners of the power 5 roll on, and you get another 6 teams to choose from who will play each other on conference championship week to get the other 3 (these can include any team, Alabama, UCF, a great independent). It only excludes any team playing for a conference title. That leaves you with 8, rolling into the typical bowl weeks. The Conference Champions were decided on the 12/1 weekend.... You have plenty of time between then and yesterday to run 8 teams together to get to 4, 4 to 2, and then play yesterdays game. And in doing so, you're really working with a 16 team field, not 4.... That's the logical landing point to me, but we'll see what happens.

I honestly feel that the gap between us and Chicago is big, and everyone sees it. Stanton by himself wasn't going to get us competitive with them, and he knew that. The Yankees? They'll spend whatever it takes. The Dodgers are already solid. The Cubs are very good now, with Stanton, they are serious winners... The Cardinals? Well we might get to 90 wins with him. Maybe catch a wildcard? Unless we had other moves made though, we don't look like a hot ticket team you want to jump on... It's a bummer, or it isn't depending on where you are. The thing that's beginning to really stink though is we are constantly making big offers that do not turn into players coming here. Price, Pujols, Heyward, Stanton... That trend sucks, and Stanton hit a new low for us where we offered enough, but the player was like ".... uhhhh no". To be fair though, he was upfront about where he wanted to play from the start, and Miami started shopping him to teams he didn't mention. He met with them, handled it well, and then came back and said, "No thank you". In the end, Miami did exactly what he told them they'd be doing at the start... Welcome to a no trade clause.

It's unfortunate, but the situation is settled. I don't like it, but that's what happened. The people of Tulsa will get to live with this case and the results, and hopefully nothing else happens. 
 

Definitely appreciate that! We're still living, she sleeps a whole lot more than she used to and has a pharmacy of meds she takes. Scans however are still showing her in remission, which can stop tomorrow or 20 years from now really, depending on when this decides it wants to grow again.

While I've often been an outspoken advocate for the Cardinals execution in the past, I was not actually being literal about it. This wasn't me!

I saw a headline that his former agent says there's no way "Chico" would have killed himself. To which I reply, I hope his agent is right. He deserved to be executed. I don't care how good he was at football, he was broken in a very scary way and needed to go. Like Bundy broken.

Seeing a little grumbling about this, seems a few people are wondering if Molina is applying a sticky material to the ball which would be quite genius, as I've never heard of anyone checking the catchers gear over when this is suspected... I'm really hoping that's not the case, but I don't have any explanations for why a ball would stick like that one did.... With weather around 53 degrees....

That's about the best way to define my feelings on this as possible. I'm borderline contemptuous for what the young man wasted, but he paid a very dear price for the mistake and it seems evil to point a blaming finger at a man who died for his mistakes.

It's definitely baseball season again!!! 

Sigh
