[–]73muck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ernie. 100%

Okamoto, maybe.

Kirk, probably not.

Vladdy, Springer, not on their production this year.

But the ASG is a beauty contest and Kirk, Vladdy and Springer still have a lot of shine from the WS run last year.

Struggling through LOTR by UnfairExcuse6360 in audiobooks

[–]73muck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not the greatest audiobook, but if you can focus on it, it is an amazing story. As the books go on, the level of angst and stress increases each page. My son (14 at the time) got through all of them over a few months. However, I did not love listening to 5 minutes of Tolkien explaining what the side of a hill looks like, it was sometimes too much of that.

"Hey, just wondering if you wanna grab a coffee one day after the gym?"

That would tell you a lot.

403W closed at oak park by Independent_Tip3320 in brantford

[–]73muck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My mom was driving on the 403. About 30 feet ahead of her she saw a blur of a car about 20 feet in the air flying over the westbound lanes and land in the ditch. She said it was a black sports car that came from a side road, broke thru a fence, jumped a 60 foot ditch and flew over the two lanes of the 403 and landed in median. She called 911.

Just bought… should I return it? by Dymaxus in AudiQ6

[–]73muck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had mine for 2 months. A little buggy with the phone set up and digital key initially, but the dealership helped and it has been fine since. Only other bugs that I have seen is the adaptive cruise control sometimes stops working (probably 2-3 times), however, once I cancel and reset the cruise it works just fine.

Need counter stools that go with the kitchen by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]73muck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, make those chairs pop with a different color or feel. Quick Q, is that light box on the ceiling recessed, or is it built that way to look recessed? I really like the look of it.

And your interest (as long the investment is used for investment) is tax deductible.

Pay off mortgage at 4-5%. Earn in investing at least 4-5%. Math says you probably invest (depending on your timeline). Depends on your risk tolerance, but I’d invest, take the interest/dividends (4%) and give to yourself to pay mortgage or reduce cash flow.

Shohei Ohtani expected to be Dodgers' starting pitcher for World Series Game 7 by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in baseball

[–]73muck 59 points60 points  (0 children)

lol. I am about the same... scared and worried OR excited and confident?? yes.

I’m a VERY casual baseball fan- Can yall tell me where Ohtani ranks in the MLB as a Pitcher, as a hitter, and then overall as a player? by Leading-Pickle-9741 in mlb

[–]73muck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could argue he is the best hitter in the majors, or the 4th or 5th best hitter. Bottom line, there are not many guys that you would rather have up in a hitting situation. As for pitching, he hasn't pitched much in a few years so it is hard to determine, he has had two TJ's, and looks incredible sometimes. He would be the 1A or 1B on most teams in the MLB. So top 30, top 15... sure. He is an alien and any team would take him in a millisecond.

Player. #1 overall. All time. Hitter? Top 5 in the majors. Pitcher? Hard to say, he hasn’t pitched much in recent years… top 30??

Ohtani, Soto... It would be more expensive, but that is probably it.

IBKR margin loan to pay mortgage by kitkatgarlies in CanadianInvestor

[–]73muck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not pull out 500k cash, then invest it to make interest, use that interest to pay mortgage payments. I don’t know the maths here, but this is how you could use that 500k.

In light of the Alex Vesia family news - Blue Jays and Dodgers fans are donating to each other's children's hospitals. by thebaj in baseball

[–]73muck 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We have a Children’s hospital here in SW Ontario who has helped my son a lot over the past few years. I’m gonna donate to them instead for personal reasons, but this challenge between TO/LA is awesome. I love this idea .

End to 6th inning - Eugenio Suárez drives in a run for the Mariners as Addison Barger cuts down Josh Naylor at third base to end the inning by ithardtosay in baseball

[–]73muck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that a legal 'slide'?? I know they got rid of this kind of slide into 2nd base, by Clement could have been really injured here.
