SinceThe70s

Not something I've had a lot, but I've never had eggplant and not liked it. Now I understand why.

Sweet, glad you had a great time! My friend was actually warned by an usher that "Yankees Suck!!" could get him tossed out of the stadium.

The whole scenario remains mind boggling to me. Hope it all worked out for your cousin and fam. For the record I'm not sure why white, blue or ring around the collar would have anything to do with the conversation.

Mr. Sting joins Zappa onstage after meeting each other for the first time earlier that day.

Thanks, it was an outstanding day/evening. Caught up with college friends I haven't seen in ages (even split of Mets/Sawx fans) There were tons of Mets fans at the game and it was a great time. Saw Keith crossing Landsdowne St. heading into the game from our table pre-game. I was sitting behind the Red Sox bullpen and can actually pick myself out on a replay of McNeils HR arms in the air before the ball clears the fence. The Sawx fans started the mass exodus after Jackson and Rosario went deep. At one point a Lets Go Mets chant got shouted down by the home team fans. And apparently there was a rat thing going on that we were oblivious too. http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=380914102

I read that when it was published. Well done. Thanks.

Cool, I probably read it. Link?

Mets: Love the 3 more wins attitude. I wanted 3rd place, but that's unlikely. Bills: Hope this is the start of something big with Allen. But I think McBeane effed up the backup/transition plan, otherwise Allen would've started game 1. Two strong calls that deserve more than just a Like emoji. I remember Ollie more for his dominant performances than the utter futility that followed.

Just catching up on this thread...never heard/saw this before...outstanding!

Anyone else see this? Gas explosions and dozens of house fires in Massachusetts. Normally I don't pass up an opportunity to rip on anything related to the good people of Massachusetts, but Jesus this looks horrific. https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/13/us/massachusetts-explosions-fires/index.html

I wonder if whoever pitches for the Marlins serves him up a meatball so he can get that one last hit.

Last time I saw Ozzy was the Ultimate Sin tour. If you'd have told me he'd still be on tour (let alone alive) 30+ years later I'd have said you need a check up from the neck up. One cool thing about Ozzy back then was the up and coming guitarists he brought in.

You suck! And I mean that in the kindest way...DeGrom should be pitching Saturday. Seriously, enjoy! My loss, your gain. I should get Thor on Friday. I've been trying to break it to my youngest that I probably won't get in earlier enough to get the Mookie Betts bobble-head. "Wrong Mookie b!tch!" won't work for him yet. Meanwhile @sshat Pats fan compared Betts to Willie Mays today. This will be fun. Probably the reason I haven't been up there since they broke the curse.

Been to Fenway twice, going up to see college friends I haven't seen in ages. One is an insufferable Pats fan. My best man (Jets fan) wanted to kill him a few years back. Last time I was at Fenway was regular season the year they ended up winning the WS for the first time since 1918. Looking in from the CF bleachers Gabe Kapler in RF was wearing 19 and Damon in CF was 18. Insufferable Pat fan actually pointed it out to me as a joke. Ollie is still pitching? I was just telling my kids about him for some reason in the past week or so. He was the balls at first for us and as bad as it gets at the end. I remember a Sunday night game where he dominated the Yankees.

I despise Jim Rome and love the Bills. But that was pretty good. Unfortunately when you're right, you're right.

Going under .500 will make the Cy Young a tough sell even though we all know he deserves it. You know what really has me steamed about this past Sunday? Besides the Bills? When the Mets held Jake out of the game due to the rain forecast it meant that he won't pitch Friday night when I'm at the game in Fenway. Someone remind me again why I love sports, and more to the point the Mets and Bills!

We're on the same page in more ways than not. Where we disagree is whether we "MUST live with the incompetence". I think having a competent backup should have been part of the plan. I think they thought that too but failed miserably with their judgement of Peterman and AJ. It's hindsight but taking a flyer on Teddy Bridgewater might have been a better option.

Reminds me of a line from a comedian years ago that went something like this: My wife is pissed off because we don't have any money and I'm pissed off because we did.

I agree 100% about winning the next game not being important. It's all about Allen and his development. One way or another McBeane will live or die on that battlefield. Unfortunately the repeated confidence they've shown in Peterman makes me question their judgement. What worries me is that Peterman's incompetence will force their hand with Allen too soon. But positive guy hopes that Allen starts Sunday, shows he's ready and we never look back (and that can include not making the playoffs this year).

As always Augie - a breath of fresh air in the midst of a steaming pile. I have no problem with negativity and criticism, but you nailed it wrt the repetitive trolls. OP claims the negativity isn't a knee jerk reaction. Um, sure, this board looked the same before Sunday with rampant, repetitive threads popping up by the minute and the smelly egg we laid on Sunday was just a coincidence. For the record I tend to be a Bills-loving apologist. Not sure if I would've lasted this long otherwise. But Sunday and the pre-season lead up have raised some serious concerns about McBeane. In particular, the handling of the QB situation looks indefensible right now. I had similar concerns after the San Diego debacle last year. But somehow they turned it around and I'll hope for the same in the upcoming weeks. Go Bills!

That was my first thought too. I won't go so far as saying there is nothing wrong with them, but they get at least through this season to prove themselves and unless this season is an abject failure they get next year too. Starting over from scratch every time theirs' a bump in the road (sinkhole in this case) will get us nowhere.

I don't understand why Browns fans would be upset today. At 0-0-1 they are off to their best start since 2004.

Just ask the Hanson brothers: Call the pizza man! https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/b510e24d-79e1-45ee-b356-e47ebc084e51

That's what scares me the most as well. The general consensus was Allen would need some time but their backup/transition plan looks pretty bad right now.

Sticking with Peterman and bringing in McCarron as the only alternatives suggests otherwise.
