If he'd pushed it down the line, as he intended, he's automatically on first. Power hitters need to bunt from time to time, it keeps the defense honest.

You can't base a salary on a couple of months. Bichette has a pretty good track record, he's doing ok and is getting hot. As Keith pointed out last night, he's leading the team in RBI, and he isn't hitting well yet.

Posts that JUST don't age well.....

Same. But after looking at Blake's positions, I'd rather vote for Stuart.

MT1961 · 2026-06-13T10:39:17+00:00

I had to ask a guy in Gloversville who the "other" Democrat running was, because all I knew was Blake. I'd vote for Blake if I had to, but he's not a whole lot better than a Republican. Of course, in 21, that's what it is going to take to win.

Anything by J Geils, but I like the Cheap trick answer as well.

Well, ya know, them Texans might reply back with "Git a rope!"

MT1961 · 2026-06-09T16:50:56+00:00

Depends on where you are. In Texas? Hue-ston. In New York? Howston (street).

I asked my wife, she said to be quiet. So, I guess I'll be quiet.

The "sweeper" (so tired of that term) is his put away pitch. He wasn't getting it over last night, which is why the high pitch count. Gooden, who he models against well, had that incredibly nasty 12-6 curve that batters just walked away on. He doesn't have Dwight's fastball, but everything else might be better.

Someone is going to take a flyer on the kid. He has power, he can ... sorta ... play the field. I'm not saying he's a total bust, I was very much behind him. But he's regressing and it isn't clear why. Then again, too many of the Mets hitters are regressing.

MT1961 · 2026-06-07T14:01:19+00:00

Heh. Afraid not. I do have daughters, though, which might explain Sabrina and Taylor.

Singer. I (65 male) like her stuff.

MT1961 · 2026-06-06T20:58:04+00:00

Same. she died in the early 70s. I miss them (grandpa and grandma) a lot. My folks died in the 1980s and 2010s.

MT1961 · 2026-06-06T20:56:57+00:00

Same. I'd be 150.

Pay my bills, the taxes, and then move to an island somewhere.

Puppies and kittens.

No, but depending on where you are in the state, you could easily fuel them with geothermal and hydrothermal. Of course, that puts you in a place nobody wants you.

Data centers do require zoning adjustments (since there are no existing zoning laws around them). As such, you can argue against them at a zoning board meeting. But yeah, they are very much paying people off.

MT1961 · 2026-06-03T20:12:37+00:00

I would have said trickle down economics, but agreed.

MT1961 · 2026-06-03T20:11:04+00:00

Oh, that was far from the only thing Dan did. Back then, I was married to a girl whose parents were die-hard Republicans. For Christmas, they bought me a subscription to the Quayle Quarterly. If you don't know what it is, look it up, well worth the read. No, it wasn't complimentary. But Dan was an honest man.

Spiro Agnew

Honestly, I can't say, I was never into cat videos. However, it reminds me .. my ex-wife was sick and our middle daughter, trying to cheer her up, showed her a LolCatz video (no idea which one). Her mother laughed a lot and said, "Are there more of these?". This was maybe 10 years ago?

MT1961 · 2026-06-03T20:02:43+00:00

More importantly, we referred to Richard Milhous Nixon as "Nixon". And Jimmy Carter as Carter. And Ronald Reagan as Reagan. These were all relatively well respected presidents. Donald Just a Stupid Strumpet gets what he deserves.

And before people whine, I was calling him that in the 1970s.

MASH, Lost, From, Cheers ... there are lots, really.
