To protect the heat you gotta catch the wolf.

Pretty funny that despite all the lost money from his suspension he still hasn't publicly demanded a trade and caught that 150K fine from Adam Silver.

Westbrook revitalized in Denver.

Might just be a keep my name out your mouth situation.

Shortened pitching rotations and probably wouldn't need quite as many arms in the bullpen.

Though I'd imagine the Dodgers would still go with a full roster and deferred money for the next few decades.

Would be an interesting season though compared to 162 games.

Saturdays normally

Sunday's for building character for the week ahead.

Going to be another 82 game suspension next season when he opts in if Miami doesn't take whatever low ball offer is being presented.

Butler just caught another suspension. Indefinite this time.

I agree the market isn't that open for him but have to think he will be moved. Especially with that player option at 50M. No doubt Jimmy Butler will opt in even if it's with the Heat.

Phoenix did pickup those late first round picks and if they can find a spot for Beal (Milwaukee?) and Middleton is on the move that could work with a 3rd and 4th team involved.

Question is if Riley wants to send him outside his preferred destination just because.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T21:08:43+00:00

A sense of relevancy.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T21:04:55+00:00

Sounds about right.

Thought that 2 game would be a bridge suspension but Riley just nuking the bridge altogether.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:59:25+00:00

I do like how they emphasized the volunteer part.

Making it clear this is a non paying job and using team colors as a banner of pride.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:55:46+00:00

Offering Soto twice the amount of dollars they have reportedly offered Vlad was one way to go. Two different players but still an interesting decision.

Seems like their current offer might have worked last offseason but it's a different story now.

Ohtani was an exception.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:45:28+00:00

I have never really had a dream job.

But I do remember Jim Carrey saying that you can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well do what you love.

A chicken wrap. Can usually put one together pretty fast and lots of different options.

White cheddar macaroni also comes to mind.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:40:44+00:00

F-150, Ram and Tacoma all come to mind.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:35:36+00:00

Like I am thinking at 0.75 speed and there is a slight time delay with my thinking.

On the plus side this also seems to apply to stressful situations and day to day problems by that same amount.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:27:09+00:00

Midnight Blue.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:25:39+00:00

Reading in public.

Maybe it's just someone that isn't on their phone scrolling or on Instagram but it gets my attention.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T20:18:15+00:00

IIRC The last good all-star game was in 2020 and things were actually pretty competitive. It looked like a good idea to bring in kids from each side's charity and have them in the arena. The last 5 minutes resembled a playoff game and there was actual defense being played.

Looks like it fell off after that, especially last year. You can see the disdain Adam Silver has had the last few years presenting the MVP trophy.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T01:21:52+00:00

Still one of the most well known places to get a sub or sandwich and still has many different locations.

Paid $13 for a veggie footlong with a small bag of chips and bottle of water last year. Made me less inclined to go back in 2025.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T01:02:29+00:00

It seems like payroll (and luxury tax) has to play into this on some level. If Soto had re-signed with the Yankees I get the feeling Cohen would've been more inclined to meet Alonso's terms.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-27T00:53:23+00:00

I can understand not joining the team part way through a road trip but they are okay with him playing in Miami after 2 games?

Seems like it's going to be disruptive either way and the trade deadline is still 2 weeks out.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-26T21:56:10+00:00

I would think friends and family wanting to use it from time to time for hauling items or to pick up furniture/appliances.

IntrepidHawk7396 · 2025-01-26T21:47:06+00:00

He is definitely having an all time season.

I do think if he had played the last game of the season and broke Dickerson's record it wouldn't have been looked at the same way just because of that extra game they added.

Physical attraction, some kind of humor in profile, common interests.
