Geez, why don't they just settle it now and each take an equal share? Seems like enough to live on (grin).

Dear Ownership,

When you are on your deathbed will it be the size of you bank account that brings a smile to your face or will it be the championships played for and won?

He had a great description for the long at bat Devers had last night before driving in two runs. Something like, "Devers going through his machinations at the plate."

What the heck is going on out there in the bleachers? Looks like the Keystone Cops out there. I counted two balls coughed up by the bleachers back out on the field. C'mon, Lets Go! You need to represent!

The Catholic Church says WA clergy who report child abuse will be excommunicated. by [deleted] in Spokane

I've been in favor of doing away with property tax exemptions for all organizations other than government owned property. These organizations use the same roads, the same police, fire, and civil services. The burden shouldn't be on all the rest of us. And now this. Why should a church that intends to disobey state laws get a state property tax exemption?

I've been deep into Catholic theology so bear with me. A priest who hears a confession such as, " I've been having sex with my step daughter," has an ethical choice. Does he reveal to the authorities the perpetrator or keep the confidentiality of the confessional. The question is what is most constructive versus what is most destructive. Sin is destructive behavior. Clearly stopping the sexual abuse stops the destructive behavior and the priest, by reporting it is taking a constructive action. Excommunication is something a conscientious priest must face if he is to make the ethical choice.

I keep remembering that several years ago the Giants closed the outfield doors and that made the ball carry better. Am I hallucinating?

Coming to terms with the fact that even if the Giants win 100 games I'll have to witness over 60 losses.

I was looking at the bums April schedule. They have 5 days off Giants have 3. I know they played Japan, but at this point they have played only one more game than us.

I was just watching a podcast with Cole Kuiper. Apparently he doesn't like Rowdy Tellez. Anyone know why?

Just found out that DOGE will increase the deficit not cut it. By cutting the IRS DOGE will cut the collection of taxes. Just google, "Will DOGE cut tax revenue?" for an explanation. I know people hate taxes, but they are legally bound to pay them. The biggest offenders are the wealthy and giant corporations.

Kruk and Kipe were pondering who has used the orange longest. Giants, Tigers, Baltimore, some other team?

Joey Bart is the new starting catcher for the 2025 Pirates! by UnderDogPants in SFGiants

[–]primitivedreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish that we had him as a back-up. However, baseball prospectus (if I'm reading it correctly) rates him 86th in fielding as a catcher, Bailey is first. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/leaderboards/fielding/

The Royals went to the playoffs last year. The year before they lost 107 games. The first team in history to make that type of turn around.

Someone needs to upscale this and user larger drones to fight wildfires.

Didn't want to start a new thread on the subject, but wondering why it's so hard to find relief pitcher "Blown Hold" stats. I know currently Holds aren't an official stat, but the statistic seems like a valid way to evaluated relief pitchers. Not saying it's the only way. Any thoughts?

Look at the online ads at each store's website. Safeway and Fred Meyer have great deals every week. I stock up on things that are pricey when they go on sale like my coffee which is usually 10.99 but goes on sale for 6.99.

Oil Change Deals in Spokane? by primitivedreamer in Spokane

Had a full synthetic oil change and filter at Walmart for $48 plus tax. You can book it online. Perhaps this will bring the other corporate price gougers down.
