  1. 4 years ago Brian Cashman said that Bryce Harper wasn't a fit for the Yankees because they had Aaron Hicks, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brett Gardner and Clint Frazier. He also said it wasn't realistic to play Bryce Harper at first base. 

    The Yankees signed Cashman to an extension in December. The Yankees failed to make the postseason. The Yankees have a payroll larger than the US National Debt. 

    Bryce Harper is good at baseball.

    That would have been perfect.
    But Hillsborough County did not have any interest in the infrastructure cost or build cost to make it work.  The county and city of Tampa basically said, “we’re happy to have you, but we aren’t paying for it.”

    So they landed back in St Pete with an eye on developing the site to be more than just the ballpark.  

    And they will continue to draw 13 fans every game until the Yankees and Red Sox show up and the Northeast transplants come out of the wood work. 

    It's baffling to me that all of Florida doesn't give a flying ***** about baseball. The Marlins have won 2 rings, with Cubans on the team, Miami still doesn't care. The Rays have been good-ish for several years, can't get a 1/4 capacity crowd for the postseason.

    Chubbs knee went 90 degrees west. Ouchh

    And my fantasy team is done in week 2. Chubb and Barkley both down. 

    Ah well, it happens to someone every year. I guess it was just my turn. 

    Oh...and tough break from the actual injured human beings. I hope they heal up quickly.

    Also, shoutout @LGR4GM on being precise with how he embeds Tweets. I'll have to wait and see if that protocol can resolve my mobile interface issue as well.

    Don't use the predictive text bar to paste. Tap where you're going to type your message then press and hold down until 'paste' appears. 

    No idea why, but this seems to affect my phone. Might have to do with the keyboard I use.

  5. 1 hour and 11 minutes. Ho hum, 6-3, 6-1. Her second set was excellent. I'd like to see her play sharper angles in her next match against Svitolina.

    Women's tennis in general.  Yeah, it's bigger in a slam, but women's tennis is so tactical and so much fun to watch.

    I love the speed of the men's game as well. 

  6. The best darn boxer on the face of the planet put on an absolute clinic tonight. Terrance 'Bud' Crawford absolutely dominated Errol 'Tue Truth' Spence in their welterweight unification bout. Bud is now the first man to ever be Undisputed in 2 weight classes. 

    He beat the breaks off of Spence for 8.5 rounds, flooring him 3 times, Spence had previously never been knocked down in his career, until the ref had seen enough and called it.

    Total domination. He's the absolute best boxer in the world.

    In other news, the UFC event tonight was pretty good. Lots of KO's and submissions. 2 head kick KO's. An all-around fun night for watching guys beat the crap out of each other.

     They're fun, but I see people wreck all the time (mostly because they don't realize you need to throttle to turn) so they just end up smashing into whatever is in front of them.

    Or driving off a dam...

     

     

    ....yup, I've seen it, and the guy lived. I couldn't believe it.

    Well, like I said, its not AWFUL.  There are some movies I felt like walking out of the theater or was embarassed to watch (Nothing but Trouble is one). This isn't that.

    You just have to accept what it is going into it....and then when you watch it be prepared to have a bunch of questions unanswered (like what happens to that character when the move is over? or why didn't they do that scene a little differently to make it a lot better? The message they are trying to get across would have been better if they did this scene differently, why didn't they?)  The good news is its not that long of a movie, if you don't like it, you AREN'T stuck in the theater for 2.5+ hours.

    Wait a minute, here. Nothing But Trouble?

    The same Nothing But Trouble that stars The Digital Underground ft. Tupac Shakur, while also featuring Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Demi Moore? That Nothing But Trouble?

    Funniest movie a 7 year old can hope for! Loved it!

     Watching The Open over in England. 

     Oh, to be a dentist in that country..

    I've probably seen parts of about 30 years worth of Open Championships. 

    ....the sun has never been out. Not even one time.
