Interesting strategy by boeheim, using the entire bench in the first half then a more traditional lineup in the second.

Hulu has it for me

Cuse looking sloppy so far
I mean, boeheim went 12 deep in the first half. And IUP is ranked 2nd in D2. Not your typical exhibition game

there is zero reason for the Yankees to not have these types of players every year. Sucks for other teams, but like you said, there is really no salary cap, and the yankees have never been shy about spending money to build a dynasty. recently that money spent has been in the wrong spots. Let's not forget though that not having DJ and Bennetendi really hurt this team down the stretch, and as f***ed up as it may sound, losing Aaron Hicks actually hurt in terms of depth and positioning of players, not necessarily in terms of production. Not knowing who is playing SS or who is leading off is a Boone thing, not sure he can be the future, despite his winning %age. Things need to happen

Frigging Donaldson looking at 3+ strikes, it's so damned frustrating

This Sunday Bob turns 75. Heard it on the Grateful Dead channel. Surprised he has made it this long given many of those 75 years were "hard years" partying wise. Happy Birthday Bob.
Bob and John Mayer share a birthday as do Jeff Chimenti and Brent Mydland. Cosmic karma

Snagged two tickets to the final two shows, at Oracle Park in San Francisco, and two tickets to both nights at the Gorge, which is such an awesome venue.
Looking forward to one more Saturday night with the Dead (err...two more?)
Now everybody's dancin' down the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery
Temperature keeps risin', everybody gettin' high
Come the rockin' stroke of midnight, the place is gonna fly
I got the final night at Oracle, also grabbed the Sunday boulder show and 2 Philly Tix. Tried to get gorge but got timed out of lawn seats. Now I've got a few months to figure out how I'm gonna get to the west coast shows

Amazing. He reached 60 home runs in less games than Ruth did.
And he pulled into the batting average lead by .001 point

thanks for stepping up for these weekly narratives, missed it last week. I know these are very time consuming, but as a schlub who doesn't have the energy or desire to scrutinize games as closely as others, the recaps are greatly appreciated. I look forward to them every week!

WHOA WHOA WHOA....black people are eating Cheerios???????
1 hour ago, Jauronimo said:Maybe that was the best actor for the job and no one else thought the race of a fictional being was so critical to their portrayal of an elf or hobbit? Maybe you reach a broader audience when your cast isn't 100% white or the bad guys? Maybe one day I won't have to read the rants of grown men losing their ***** because black people are eating cheerios in a commercial or Captain America is black or a dwarf is black? Not holding my breath on the last one. (No one tell Bandito about Hamilton)
Seeing everything through the lens of wokeness (nobody has actually used that term in years) is no way to go through life.

Oh what, now this is frowned upon?

The venue I'm seeing them at is 30 minutes outside of Portland.
Based on the location and the lineup, I'm picturing a sea of hipsters for sure.
(side note: Once, while working at a hotel front desk, I waited on Fred Armisen in drag. Like the picture below. They were a filming a Portlandia sketch in our lobby. He walked up to me, and the first thing he said, totally deadpan was "Hi. I don't really look like this. I'm in a costume". It took all the effort I could muster not to laugh at the whole situation.)
How was the show? Just heard Courtney Barnett on the radio and it reminded me you were going. I'm such a big fan of hers

Billy Strings was ***** awesome. So, so good live. That was my first time seeing them, but it won't be my last. Acoustic, upbeat, shake-yer-ass bluegrass in the first set. Then, after the sun went down, they came out and played more electric, spaced out, improvisatory stuff in the second set. So one could say they followed the tried and true Grateful Dead method. It worked!
Going to see a bunch of music I'm not familiar with tomorrow. Courtney Barnett, WaXahatchee, Sleater Kinney, and Fred Armisen. I know Armisen, of course, though I have no idea what kind of set he'll do (comedy? music?). A friend had an extra ticket and offered to take me. I'm not one to turn down a free outdoor summer concert. I like discovering new music. On first listen, WaXahatchee is pretty awesome. Barnett not bad either. Sleater Kinney is kind of not for me, but I'll put up with one unfavorable act if it means a bunch of other good music.
Trey Anastasio Band, Ben Harper, and two nights of Bob Weir and Wolf Bros still to come.You're going to LOVE Courtney Barnett. She's put out some incredible music in a short time. Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchie is also awesome. Sleater Kinney and Fred armisen lends itself to a potential portlandia vibe😂. I'm about to buy Trey/Goose tickets myself

That article I just linked claims that no, that was not the case.
It states that Kim Wexler was originally only supposed to be a bit part with a limited role in the show. It also stats that Jimmy was supposed to have transformed into Saul by the end of season one.
It says the same thing about Breaking Bad: That Jesse was only supposed to have a small part, etc.
I'm not sure where the author of this article gets this information, but assuming it's correct, it seems everything was NOT meticulously planned out in advance.
Yeah I wrote that as I was reading. It's amazing how polished it was in almost every way

Thought y'all would enjoy the above overview/review of what a great show Better Call Saul was.
I won't bother quoting it. If you want to read a great summary of what made the show excellent, check it out. Not too long a read.I'm curious to know if the entire series was written out in advance. Everything was just perfectly detailed and little to no fluff or throw away moments. Almost as if the finale was written first and they backfilled to the beginning

Did someone say Josh Donaldson???? 😁

Irony was a main running thread throughout the series. Jimmy starts by manipulating the elderly, and in the end,, an elderly Carol Burnett exposes him. One of a million examples of playing the long game as a writing team.
That was my only "complaint". How did her character make that leap to Saul simply from her son being arrested. I might have missed the connection. But it's a very minor 'complaint'

Wow! i didn't expect that kind of ending. they really couldn't have done any better to end the series. i would have been ok fading to black in the room with Kim and Jimmy smoking, but the walk out of the jail was pretty damned powerful and just perfect
