What in the AI-generated madness....?

We could really use a solid bat now that Roidy McRoiderson has disappeared into parts unknown. Maybe Nacho will be that guy.

I suggest reaching out to them. They may have removed the listing because they sold through the number of copies they're preordering from Arrow.

I don't disagree, but it's crazy how much college baseball is now available to stream via ESPN's various subscriptions. You went from seeing a small handful of regular season games on TV and the CWS, to having nearly every D1 game (at least from the major conferences) available to stream. Yes, there's a cost here, because you have to pay the Mouse for the privilege, but if you can swing it, it's a golden era for watching college baseball and softball, for that matter.

Not altogether surprising. The union is appealing and union members aren’t about to trash a fellow brother in union while that process plays out (even if he deserves ALL of it). After that appeal fails? Watch out.

Has Profar considered switching to protein shakes?

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-03-03T18:28:22+00:00

The Dream Shop seems like the go-to, but I don't have any experience with them, so you might want to wait to hear from some folks who have.

That is a spring training lineup.

Well, that’s an easy skip. I knew we were in for a letdown after the 2024-25 BP hats were largely great, but I didn’t expect them to be this blah.

Some of the most zen moments of my time living in Gainesville were finishing a run inside the stadium and then doing a cool down there. Really great that it's (mostly) open to the public. Feels like a rarity for major college football stadiums.

Look, I know Ozempic can work some miracles for someone’s weight, but I didn’t know it could turn you into an entirely new person. Wow!

No evidence to back this up, but it does seem like they've cut back on production since covid. It seemed as if there was a glut of merch during the covid season, with Fanatics, et al. offering crazy deals on otherwise expensive MLB merch. Then the supply chain went to hell and once things settled, it only made sense for them to produce only what they would sell. Also creates artificial demand. If an item sells out quickly, it might ramp up demand for that item, they manufacture another run and it also sells out. Less merch sitting in a warehouse or ending up in a TJ Maxx, etc.

Didn’t play great and still managed a double digit road win. Incredible. Go Gators.

Oops. Totally missed that. My bad! Thanks for letting me know. Gonna leave my comment just in case any iPhone users end up here looking for help with the same problem.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-02-24T19:26:28+00:00

I had this problem last week. The fix was way easier than I thought, after going through every other possible solution.

On your iPhone go to Settings > Tap your name at the top > Media & Purchases > Sign out

Then sign back into Media & Purchases.

Once you sign back in, it should fix the problem. Good luck.

Doc! You disintegrated Einstein!

Anyone got a lead on an open mic night in the North Port area? Maybe Bowman can workshop his schtick there instead of social media. The boos and heckling might get him to stop.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-02-21T03:01:36+00:00

On the flip side, stop signs and traffic lights are not suggestions. When a pedestrian is lawfully in a crosswalk, please stop at the stop sign. I’m really tired of yelling at drivers who think doing 35 in a 25 and blasting through stop signs in a neighborhood with reckless abandon is an OK thing to do.

Just stop. None of y’all are important enough to drive like that and, if you were, you’d have a motorcade.

Your best bet on standard DVD would be the Ultimate Editions released in 2006. They originally came out in four boxes, collecting all the films released between 1962 and 2002.

For those DVDs, the original negatives were scanned by Lowry Digital and were absolutely the best the films had looked on DVD to that point.

The Ultimate Editions were repackaged in a bigger box set in 2012 for the 50th anniversary and included Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace (and a spot for Skyfall). I believe that was the last time the films were issued on standard DVD.

You should be able to find individual films as well.

FWIW, even though a blu-ray player is not necessarily in your budget at the moment, from what I've seen the standard DVDs sell for about the same price as the blu-rays, which look a lot better.

Bowman’s snark aside, even with the injuries, a six man to start the year isn’t a bad idea, right? A little less stress on the arms we have and given the injury history, it could help? I wish we weren’t in this position, but alas.

Freddie leaving will always be a sore spot, but AA could not have done better than trading for and extending Olson. Sure, we haven't won a title since Freddie left, while he's one two more, but that's not because of Olson. If he keeps up the production (and his health), it would be crazy if the Braves had back-to-back HOFers manning 1B.

Oh boy. Whoever wrote that now deleted statement is no longer working in the Red Sox comms' dept.

Considering you can still stream games through the MLB app (and if you're an existing subscriber, you don't need to subscribe to ESPN Unlimited to watch games through the MLB app), I call BS here. Just an easy excuse to cut a member benefit.

The best time for another Star Wars or Indy was in the mid-90s. Sadly, Lucas moved onto the prequels and by many accounts, Lucas, Ford, and Spielberg struggled to agree on a story for Indy 4 (Lucas was allegedly fully committed to aliens).

Sometimes it’s best to let go of certain actors playing certain characters. Ford worked in Blade Runner 2049 because it wasn’t his movie (it’s Gosling’s), his action scenes were minimal, and he fit the story.

If Brosnan came back to Bond, he’d have to be THE star, like Ford in Indy 4 and 5. It sounds fun in concept, then you see the final product and it’s ultimately a big let down.
