Going to try to catch the second half of this on lunch.

I'm really, really, really worried about Baily and Baptiste ever making the team full time. If they couldn't crack the lineup over the last couple years I just can't imagine they ever will.

Its not as big an upset as Mexico over Germany, but Japan over Columbia is a big bite into Columbia's chances to advance.

That Saturday will be for STH only, btw

yup.

No, I agree, that would be much more useful. for me, too. I have Twitter for scores.

...by god, I agree with Harrington.

So is Baker no longer writing for the Sabres or is he pulling double duty?

I think you had to go pick it up. I never did either. I did my damnedest to ignore the Sabres this year, so I don't even know if I would have got my money out of them.

I've made it through 10+ years of knowing my now in-laws and have been able to stick to pronouns the whole time.

Got them Ks locked down, now.

Yeah, I think that's why they put the preview up on Netflix's main screen. There's a promo for season 2 on there.

Yup. I was looking for a quick show to watch after playing some vidja games for a while and that popped up on my Netflix as a preview. "I've been meaning to watch this, and they're only half hour episodes, I'll watch one and go to bed." *Spongebob Jacques Cousteau voice* "3 hours later..."

Agreed. I'm actually ok with them straying from the mystery a bit. Don't want to be like Lost and be all questions with no answers. But you're right that that intrigue is what made season 1 great. I like that they're adding/filling out characters and they don't feel like filler. Who would have thought that Sizemore would have been, like, interesting at all at the end of last season? Also, I started watching GLOW at midnight last night and accidentally watched 3/4 of the season. Oops. Its so good.

Those two and Tampa are basically the only ones I look at and say "ok, maybe".

It is Chiarelli... Part of the reason his value would go down is that you're going to get him CHEAP for the next 3 years or so. If he's a top pair dman in that time, which most project, his value is super high.

Where are we at on this now? Because I think the best episodes of 2 have been better than the best of 1, but 1 felt more seemless overall as we were watching it. The Riddle of the Sphinx and Kiksuya from this season have both been phenominal though. From the previews I kind of thought Kiksuya was going to be a filler episode; it was anything but.

I just don't see ROR being on this team by the end of next Friday. If nothing else the way it would mirror the Eichel draft would be to perfect.

I'm basically excited about Dahlin because I'm choosing to be. I never got swept up in the Mittelstadt stuff just because I was so dead to the world about the Sabres last year. So I'm forcing myself to go all in on Dahlin.

My new job makes software for the insurance home inspection industry, after two weeks of training I know way more about it than I ever wanted to. DID YOU KNOW: A pool, trampoline, or even some breeds of dog are considered an "Attractive Nuisance", which is something you want but which presents a potential hazard and therefor the insurance carrier will charge you higher premiums for them. It was also my nickname in college, but that's a separate issue.

I feel like the Kovalchuck lottery is a little less Mega Millions and a little more Shirley Jackson. Also, this is what google wants to correct Kovalchuck to:

I loved Rouge One because it felt like it had real stakes. I think they tried to replicate that with the The Last Jedi and...whiffed. I still think TLJ was fine, but its the weakest of the Disney SW films for sure. SOLO was fun and funny, but the humor in it didn't feel forced. It was much more space adventure than space opera, which I think is a good thing for it. And they didn't try to over nostalgia fill it either. #dongloverforever. He really was the only choice to be Lando.
