SinceThe70s

Years ago I started a new job and the best route included a merge where cars were coming off the highway and I was coming down the service road. Without exception, cars coming off the highway acted like they had the right of way. After a few close calls -in part due to my insistence not to give in I decided I'd be better off taking a slightly longer route to work to avoid the daily stress and unnecessary auto body work that was sure to come. One of my most contentious traffic merges was coming into the GWB from the Jersey side. It was late 80's and I was driving a banged up '73 Dodge Dart - I had the least amount to lose of anyone and had one car that had to be inches from me - eventually he gave in.

@4merper4mer the bottom of the ocean floor is always never ending. @Augie Challenge accepted?

Always is never right and never is always wrong.

Awesome! Since you'll be down by Battery Park you might want to check out the Sea Glass carousel (https://www.seaglasscarousel.nyc/).

My sister-in-law says that it's not vacation...it's going away.

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Hope you're having a great time in Greece. Did you visit the Parthenon? (shameless attempt to get you to requote Shaq)

Over the years I've made it through a ton of layoffs at the companies I've worked for and there was only one occasion when I was vindictively happy about someone losing their job. That person was evil incarnate and had been the cause of many better people losing their jobs for their own gain. But I also saw other people that I thought were either ineffective or flat out @ssholes get laid off and even though I was glad they were gone I still had compassion when they were shown the door.

With every hit that Pham gets the pitching prospect we'll get in a trade for him gets a little bit better.

I've had an obsession with a Mets no-hitter that started when my grandfather told me about Jimmy Qualls breaking up Seaver's perfect game. Then in 1972 I remember watching Leron Lee break up Seaver's no-hitter in the 9th. From that point forward I was looking for a no-hitter from the first pitch of the game until it got broken up. Ironically when Johan got his 'no-hitter' I saw none of it because I was playing softball that night. My brother-in-law was actually at the game - and he was also at the game when the Mets got the combined no-hitter. I only saw the last few batters of that one, can't remember why. When I saw the headline this morning I was nauseated.

@Gugny @ExWNYer @Another Fan I like Buck but... Tonight there was a HBP called where the Brewer may have swung but got the call. Buck was p!sssed with the call showed his displeasure - but didn't make a scene - until the next batter got a big hit and then Buck blew a gasket and got tossed. Buck should have blown the gasket and gotten tossed at the point of the call, not after the fact. ...I am willing to question whether what he brings to the table is enough

@ExWNYer @Gugny @Another Fan Cohen has scheduled a press conference prior to the game tomorrow (Wednesday). I don't expect him to say much more than he did a few weeks ago through Joel Sherman but he's giving the NY press a full day to prepare their onslaught.

Congrats! And all the best to you and your wife! Home ownership comes with it's challenges - feels like everything has been breaking or aging-out for us lately. Frustrating as hell but in the end well worth it.

It's kind of crazy how they played inspired/smart ball last year when things were going well - and now we're seeing poor play. I'm still in Buck's corner - but more willing to consider dissenting opinions. Pretty much where I'm at with McD too.

I get that folks are pointing the finger at Buck but I'm not buying in - although I'll admit to listening to the argument. To me this season has been all about the pitching: - started with the shaky proposition of relylng on Scherzer and Verlander - losing Diaz was devastating and shortened the bullpen - Quintana hasn't thrown a pitch - straining the weakened bullpen - Carrasco, Peterson and Megill have all sucked - straining the weakened bullpen - Verlander started the season on IR and has been average - straining the weakened bullpen - Scherzer has been average and willingly missed time due to the sticky stuff - straining the weakened bullpen I tend to be overly optimistic but this looks like a lost season. For position players: 😄 excited about Alvarez - he has crushed at the plate at every level 1B: no need to think about this position until we have a hard time signing Pete - but would like to see a higher batting average 2B: between McNeil and maybe Mauricio I think we are OK SS: great fielder, power bat but the batting average is way too low 3B: we're rolling with Baty - and maybe Vientos. Fingers crossed LF: Pham is trade bait, Canha is a 4th OFer. McNeil in LF with Mauricio is intriguing CF: Nimmo is fine but would be better off in LF RF: Marte has been a big disappointment since he got hurt last year. I'm not giving up on him yet but RF is a big red flag if he doesn't return to form DH: this has been a black hole. Not sure whether I put that on Buck or the GM.

A few months ago I read about a system that some concert venues are using. I imagine it might be cost prohibitive for school systems but the concept makes sense to me. Everyone has to put their cell phone in a locking pouch that can't be opened until you leave the room/venue. https://www.overyondr.com/howitworks

Thanks fore the info - hadn't hear that.

I had the same thought. I get the older guys risking their lives - at least one of them was an adventurer who was presumably used to assuming a certain level of risk. I wonder if the kid was already on a similar path or if this was more of a one-off or first time adventure that his dad was able to bankroll and if so if they really understood the risk involved.
