Rick was running around with long flowing locks like a dirty hippie. He got a haircut and now he looks like a little businessman. It’s a strange transition.

gonna be a hot mess next year when it reaches drinking age
Maybe he’ll take it to brunch to celebrate.
The original basement cant be far behind
Any enterprise that can be conducted from your bed is worth pursuing.
Who is head DJ these days?
And when is this month's guest week supposed to be?
Who's in charge here?
Where's my Captain's Wafers?
DJs are hj & DK. august's DJ can take take the week of the 8th or 15th. their call.
uh...8th it is then -- thanks
I'm thankful for this thread. I was thinking I was August but turns out September for me.
Taylor Rogers no longer sharing a division with his twin and is headed back to the Midwest.
The return on Josh Hader to Milwaukee is significant: left-handed closer Taylor Rogers, lefty pitching prospect Robert Gasser, outfielder Esteury Ruiz and right-hander Dinelson Lamet, sources tell ESPN. Hader will be a free agent after the 2023 season.
Preller really leaning into the Unlikeable Players acquisition strategy.
That whole trade is a wow.
Rogers has struggled a bit by ERA this year, but a very slightly deeper look says he has been good, albeit unlucky.
48:9 K:BB (although 8 HBP!) in 41 1/3, only 1 HR allowed, 2.35 FIP. Opponent slash is a modest 239/310/348 and BABIP is .333, a smidge over his career .320.
Hader has been middling (for him) himself this year. 59:12 K:BB and 7! HR allowed in 33 innings, 3.47 FIP. 203/277/422 and a .306 BABIP.
Seems like an overpay.
This is something
The @Twins will start RHP Aaron Sanchez tonight vs. the Tigers.
Corresponding roster moves will be announced shortly. #mntwins
Do the Yankees even need pitching? This seems more like keep them off the Dodgers, Astros, etc.
They don't but then again you can never have enough pitching.
The brass and fans are going to be extra pissed when they don't win the World Series again this year.
The Twins are totally getting Joey Gallo from the Yankees in exchange for Royce Lewis and Alex Kirilloff
WT actual F…
The New York Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire right-handed reliever Scott Effross from the Chicago Cubs, sources tell ESPN. Effross, 28, is a rookie with five more years of club control and has been fantastic this season. @JackCurryYES was on it.
Just finished (almost) To have or have not by E. Hemingway.
I like some of his other works but this one sucked like a sucking sucker. Hard to keep track of who's the protagonist, and he's a loser anyways. Gritty, Bourdainesque writing. Have to watch the movie now to see if anything could be made of this mess.
Well, Howard Hawks tossed it over to William Faulkner and Jules Furthman to rewrite for the screen, then got Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall and Walter Brennan to star in it, so subjectively better than the book, yes.
At the least you get Bogie & Bacall. I watched it on TCM 20+ years ago, but I’d have to watch it again to tell you anything more than that mere fact. Read the novel around the same time, without revisiting it since. Had to check my bookshelf to see if I still had it.
Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?
You know, you got to be careful of dead bees if you're goin' around barefooted, 'cause if you step on them they can sting you just as bad as if they was alive — especially if they was kind of mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way.
Any movie featuring Hoagy Carmichael is a winner in my book.
Death is like an old whore in a bar--I'll buy her a drink but I won't go upstairs with her..
Having read and now watching How to Change Your Mind I’ve come to understand that a little bit of psychedelic help may just help you head upstairs with death.
100 days to mid-term elections. Vote early and often!
Our primary voting slate tomorrow is a plethora of oh damn.

That 5.45 FIP should fix everything
I hope this doesn’t count against my guess for the number of new players on the roster after the deadline.
Dirty.
You mean THE Aaron Sanchez? Oh, wow.
jiminy christmas!
