The Yanks extend Chapman if you needed a reason to still dislike them.
I hope his pitches get batted around in clutch situations.
whoa, dude, harsh. roll it back a bit, yeah?
that came out wrong my mistake...
I hope his pitches come in looking like beach balls and gives up many many many runs , especially in clutch situations.
better.
Late nite FIFA nail-biter: MEX 8, SOL 0.
The call woke us up at around 5:30 this morning. At that time, never good news. It was my brother in law telling us that my wife's mother died. Her Dad found her on the laundry room floor. She was an amazing woman, the only grandma my kids would know. When my wife was very young, a car accident and subsequent brain injury left grandma with very limited use of half of her body. Yet, she raised 6 great kids on a dairy farm in Stearns County, MN. Just an amazing woman, with a fabulous sense of humor, a mischievous streak, and a twinkle in her eye. She was a ferocious card player and stubborn as could be. For most of her life she refused to be dropped off at the door and insisted on walking from the parking like the rest of us. Only when grandpa had his hip surgery would she accept curbside service. As devout a Christian as I have ever met, yet loved to share a Blackberry Brandy with me anyplace, anytime. As hard as it was to say goodbye to my own mother 30 years ago and my father 14 years ago, this seems worse. No chance to say goodbye. No chance to tell her how greatly she impacted my own faith journey. Watching my wife and her siblings struggle with the suddenness of this loss. Calling my son and daughter this morning to break the news was absolutely brutal. Sorry this is so long, but typing these words out for you all helps. Thoughts and prayers for my wife and her family are appreciated. Thank you.
Wow. She does, indeed, sound like an amazing woman. You and the family are in our prayers.
That's tough. Sounds like she was a great person.
Your family is in my prayers.
No matter how recently we last told someone what they mean to us, unprepared for deaths are something like emotional amputations, I think. I’m very sorry your mother-in-law passed without time for everyone to say goodbye and one last “I love you.”
Wishing you solace following those difficult phone calls, and for the days to come. You’ll all be in my prayers.
Thanks for sharing about her. You and your family have my sympathies and my prayers.
So sorry, she sounded like an amazing person.
Very sorry. What a great remembrance.
Thanks fellas. It's been a long 2 days. Today was a full day of funeral preparation. I found myself sitting quietly in the corner as 6 siblings hotly debated details. Somehow I ended up the tiebreaking vote on a lot of it. The emerging issue is I did not realize how much Alzheimers had affected my wifes father. It is so tough to watch him grieve in that condition. Appreciate you all. Thanks!
Sorry for your loss. May her memory be a blessing.
You and yours are in my thoughts. She sounded like quite a person. ❤️
Oof. So sorry for your loss. Sounds like her memory will indeed be a blessing for you and many. Ultimately, we can't ask for more than that.
zoomx - What all these folks said. In addition, I’ll say I hope that I earn a memoriam even half as amazing as this.
So he's the Nats equivalent of the Blues' Brett Hull?
