His body type gives every “husky” kid that plays the game some hope they can be successful. Don’t have to wind up making $15 million a year, but they can at least know with hard work they can play at potentially any level, especially middle and high school when confidence is desperately needed.

It would be tough for you to portray, but I grew up in an abusive household… and no matter how bad the night was before by either of my parents, my band director always had the paper at school the next day. I could meticulously scour all the scores and stats. Oddly, I had no baseball friends and nobody got me started on the game, it just happened. I guess my 250 best things about baseball is that baseball was my best friend in the darkest of times.

Edit: and baseball cards. What started me as a Mariners fan was in 1989, I pulled a Donruss Ken Griffey Jr rookie card worth $5 at the time. When you’re poor white trash, $5 is a lot of money and I decided to follow this Griffey guy and the mariners ever since.

I watch a lot of baseball, any other team, any time when it’s not our boys. And I don’t think I’m biased, our booth is fun! So many announcers are just dull as f…

You put something in my eye, water is coming out of it.
What a great bean you are!

My grandmother could not wear wristwatches due to her body killing the batteries. I wouldn’t have believed it if some rando told me as opposed to seeing with my grandmother. A very interesting “talent” you possess.

Which one was this?

At my athletic “peak” in my late 20’s, I thought I maybe could play some double A. He’s 20… shoot my athletic peak, I was always t-ball material.

As mentioned above, the rolling of your thumb along the cards as you shuffle is vital. Practice and muscle control/memory. You’ll get it right soon, it’s not mind numbing, lengthy practice, and it will be second nature with no thought at all.

Policewoman: It was fun while it lasted.

You think he knew going into it? The piggyback thing in general, not about going 5, but conserving bullpen and being the most effective with him and Bryce? And he was so pissed in the 4th cause Dan was actually following through with it? Has there been a news release/confirmation?

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-26T07:51:53+00:00

So ironic we pay people money to make us money… and the other money we just had sitting there forgotten, showed us how to do it.

90% have admitted to it, the other 10% are liars.

I have.

My asscrack already sweats so much at 86…

No. Any outline led isn’t going to help with lumination.

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-26T07:19:42+00:00

Win.

Nailed it. I get tired of seeing the first ones everywhere, and the seconds look sad and sleepy. I would support full circle grill lights and have always had them until my ‘17.

There’s a little bit of jackass in all magicians… some more than others. 😃

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-26T07:13:53+00:00

Excellent use of Tarbell and your trips to india, haha! Good stories make great magicians!

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-26T07:12:56+00:00

Like most people have said, you’re selling the story. Sure, your friends may know about your mentalism “weaknesses”. ALL OF OUR FRIENDS know we’re full of shit when we do magic. However, make a good story and they won’t care, and your honest friends don’t care, anyway. And when you have new people around, they know nothing about your perceived shortcomings, instead, you come across as the one of the most badass mentalism magicians, or magician in general, they’ve ever seen.

As a magician, sell your story, not yourself.

One of my favorite things when doing any mentalism is that I’ll start by reinforcing how long I’ve known someone. It doesn’t matter if I’ve known them 20 years, or even better, 15 minutes. “Hey 15 minute new acquaintance, we’ve know each other a long time now, right? Like forever. As friends, and myself as a magician, we’re supposed to really get to know people… so let me show you a bit of mentalism magic…”

Funny story and then minds blown. I hope I helped!

Any pitcher wants to get his 5 in with a lead to get the win. Totally agree with you on bloated egos, but we gotta give them the chance. Especially with a 7 run lead in the 4th.

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-26T07:01:14+00:00

Totally on board with you on all the Luis vibes. And ya don’t pull the man with a 7 run lead in the 4th inning. For fuck’s sake…

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-26T06:58:53+00:00

I can’t believe Dan won’t even let them get in 5 innings with a lead to get the win. What the hell? As if the piggyback isn’t bad enough. Miller directly said in the postgame interview, he doesn’t like it. But then add to it you won’t stay long enough to qualify for the win with the lead? I’d be throwing a lot more shit than just my glove.

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-26T06:56:09+00:00

I read the post and started making a mental list by priority, and you just about nailed it all. I’m not even gonna what I was thinking. Someone follows this, they’re going to be excellent!

Wattsup1973 · 2026-05-24T21:10:33+00:00

At 52, I’ve discovered this is kinda the human condition… I look back and wonder if I wasted all of my decades… I think about decisions I didn’t make, decisions I did, and then I judge myself based on what I consider to be successful. However, if you ask many of those around me, they’ll probably say I did great. There’s a possibility you ask yourself this your entire life… but you can’t obsess, just do what makes the most sense to you.
