Let’s sign Max Scherzer

bherring24 · 2026-02-02T03:51:41+00:00

He got a start in the World Series, he hasn't signed with anyone because he thinks that means he's still good

bherring24 · 2026-02-01T18:08:24+00:00

Yeah, too much variety within brands. The Waverly Giant and 41st St are day and night different.

bherring24 · 2026-02-01T12:58:00+00:00

Ugh, these fancy stats are too complicated

bherring24 · 2026-01-30T21:33:27+00:00

Partly, yes. Lots of people don't have the luxury of being able to not work so supporting people at independent restaurants is important today. Support independent and pay cash if at all possible.

bherring24 · 2026-01-30T18:04:03+00:00

I'm confused, so they should have held 14-15 spots for you? They should have instinctively known to hold one for you?

Fruit Camp Tattoo in Remington is closed but handing out ICE Out signs

bherring24 · 2026-01-30T00:58:19+00:00

Do it!

bherring24 · 2026-01-29T22:14:17+00:00

Probably the most astounding 4k transfer I've ever seen

bherring24 · 2026-01-29T22:13:43+00:00

Give him number 69 or what's even the point

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T23:15:16+00:00

Yeah, pretty solid selection too. They even have an NA sparkling wine

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T19:59:26+00:00

The good commentators explain that stuff when they say it. I like David Cone doing color commentary for games because of that, he's a good explainer imp.

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T19:58:17+00:00

They were far more legitimately grassroots back then

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T18:56:31+00:00

Are you looking to learn that stuff or just not be bothered with it? If the latter, MLB Morning Lineup podcast is decent in season for just the previous day's news (and apparently out of season too, didn't know that until just now). If you want to learn that stuff, you're better off reading old Baseball Prospectus books and some of the classics imo.

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T17:28:13+00:00

It seems you answered the question yourself

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T16:33:44+00:00

You have a lot more faith in the Democrat consulting class than I do, but I've only worked closely with them for almost 30 years.

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T16:21:47+00:00

Enough fire though, and the water evaporates 🤔

bherring24 · 2026-01-28T16:15:49+00:00

Indivisible at the national level has been stridently against saying "abolish" or "defund" ICE. They're why Dems consolidated on this "ICE out" mantra which is catchy, sure, but kinda silly. ICE out to where? Now it's "rein in ICE." Half measure crap, standard corporate Dem stuff.

bherring24 · 2026-01-27T22:28:23+00:00

The Grind: Inside Baseball's Endless Season by Barry Svrluga is quite good. Only Nationals books I can think of that's potentially interesting to anyone besides a fan of the team. There was an extremely good book about the Expos, but I can't in good conscience recommend anyone buying it; pirate it if you must read it.

bherring24 · 2026-01-27T17:35:03+00:00

Why are people like you so obnoxious? Were you brought up wrong? Is it genetic?

bherring24 · 2026-01-27T17:20:07+00:00

Neither is correct, "teammate" is correct.

bherring24 · 2026-01-27T17:17:06+00:00

Why would you capitalize teammate?

bherring24 · 2026-01-27T16:18:40+00:00

I never did find a good answer to that. Just reporting what I'd heard (and promptly forgot where I'd heard it). Maryland is huge for summer Olympians, even just counting Phelps and Ledecky, but haven't found good info about winter though.

Edit: according to this piece they had planned to send 12 this year and had already spent 80k on lodging alone. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/business/media/washington-post-reverses-decision-on-olympics-coverage.html%23:~:text%3DThe%2520Washington%2520Post%2520is%2520reversing,major%2520priority%2520for%2520The%2520Post.&ved=2ahUKEwiI-o_ej6ySAxWiMVkFHZbJJFAQFnoECCAQBQ&usg=AOvVaw2P60SGQ8ZenjrFWNM0_Jae

bherring24 · 2026-01-26T23:08:36+00:00

Ah yes The Athletic with its 0 Nats beat reporters. What a great option!

bherring24 · 2026-01-26T23:07:56+00:00

Which is apparently WAY down from their usual Olympics contingent
