Yes. I also wonder when the conversation took place. Seems like it could be anytime since the Mayock 'all in' comment.

You're joking about Rosenhaus quitting, right?

As far as I know you are within you're right to trim back the over-hanging limbs. We trim back neighbor overhangs pretty much yearly, but nothing like a big oak. We had a huge maple tree that was the centerpiece of the backyard. It was actually two trees that had grown together and looked like one, until one half started to die. We started trimming back the dead side little by little each year. The question was always where it would land if it came down and the potential problems were wiping out our shed or landing in the next door neighbors in ground pool. If my neighbor had presented me with a $2800 estimate to cut the tree I probably wouldn't have reacted positively. Depending on how well you get along with your neighbor, I'd suggest you let him know that you have concerns the tree is going to fall and you'll probably be trimming back what overhangs on your property and see where the conversation leads. Maybe you'll get an opportunity to mention the estimate or maybe they are already aware and thinking of taking it down on their own anyway.

I get ads on the News page under the banner and below "The Stadium Wall" highlighted threads. But I'm rarely on that page and no Aussie dresses yet.

Same. You're doomed. I've gotten bounced opening week the past two seasons. And I wasn't trying to save a team either year (Pats then Saints).

Medic!!!!

When you can't find the lightThat got you through the cloudy daysWhen the stars ain't shinin' brightYou feel like you've lost you're wayWhen the candlelight of homeBurns so very far awayWell, you got to let your soul shineJust like my daddy used to sayHe used to say soulshineIt's better than sunshineIt's better than moonshineDamn sure better than rain

Fun fact: yesterday was Robinson Cano's 5th straight multi-hit game.

Not something new, but something rare: With a homer, a win and an appearance in the outfield, Michael Lorenzen pulled off a feat last accomplished by the Babe. https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=401076823

Gentleman, we may have an organizational issue. The Mets minor league team (Syracuse) had a similar loss last night, blowing leads of 6-0, 7-1 and then 13-6 in 8th: https://www.milb.com/syracuse/scores/2019-09-03

The ride just got a little shorter. Not patting myself on the back here but when the Mets went up 10-4 I told my boys they should just let Lugo finish the job. They had already committed to him for 2 innings. Still, that never should have happened. BTW, raise your hand if you predicted an 11-10 finish to the game started by DeGrom and Scherzer.

I got a song that ain't no melody, I'm gonna sing it to my friends Will it go round in circles, will it fly high like a bird up in the sky

Looks like it's down to you and me AF. Haven't heard from Blue in a while, I hope all is well with him. You and I are on the same page. Hard to imagine them making it to the wild card game, but they are a fun team to watch - except of course for the bullpen - and I'll enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts.

I cry when my wife turns them on. And then I find something else to do.

Wrong Governor. Not quite...23-0! Go Bills!

I like the way you think. Save some in case you have to empty the freezer in a day or two.

Didn't even consider that the thread title could have been past tense for so many. Yikes. I was talking about this with a close friend Saturday night and had forgotten that he had a harrowing experience in his younger days (before I knew him). Working late night at a gas station, armed robber enters and my friend and co-worker comply and end up face down on the floor gun to friends head. The robber ended up getting the money and taking off. My friend told me he isn't sure he would ever let himself end up that helpless again.

Follow up today, the guy says he'd do it again. https://nypost.com/2019/08/31/man-who-finished-cigarette-during-bar-stick-up-says-hed-do-it-again/

I want you to be mine I need you more everyday I want your lovin' right now baby What more can I say I wish I had you all the time Twenty-five hours a day

I never had any use for Hall & Oates but for whatever reason I always liked this song. I also appreciate that your post before this was Slayer. I got 'Show No Mercy' when it first came out but never stuck with them. At the time there was a glut of heavy bands.

Thinning of the herd, survival of the fittest applied inversely to food. Again, if you're in harms way, hope whatever happens doesn't rise past the level of inconvenience/annoyance.
