Wonderful. First Maria and Irma, and now Red Sox-Yankees melodrama. No one deserves that kind of misfortune.

I object, your honor. Assuming facts not in evidence.

that wasn't as promising as i'd like it to be.

oh good, yet another thread that wants to fire the manager while simultaneously ignoring the rash of injuries that have decimated the talent on the team. well done and congrats to the usual suspects for coming through.

bob ryan of the boston globe was talking these very issues on espn this morning. this thread (predictably) derailed into a rant about sosh instead of dealing with why farrell was canned, so thanks for keeping it on track.

that's what i would think, but then i got to remembering how scottie pippen refused to play the last 90 seconds or so of a playoff game for the bulls. sat and pouted and wouldn't go back in the game after a time-out. i figured he was probably done in chicago but it didn't seem to be held against him in any meaningful way. strasburg better be nails tonight or he loses his teammates.

i miss pettis.

you're one-size-fits-all blanket is particularly large today. you must have gone to costco.

just use a british car and you should be good to go. i'll chip in $20 for gas.

oh boy, here we go.

my daughter's college has cancelled classes for the rest of the week and has encouraged kids to go home if it's possible. the winds were horrible last night and the fire has started moving from calistoga to st. helena. from there, it's just a few miles up howell mountain to the school, if it goes in that direction. my wife and i have been debating this morning on what to do, from leaving her there to putting her on a bus or seeing if she could catch a ride with someone down to LA (the school is 450 miles away from us). my daughter is content to stay up there for now and i think my wife will be okay to leave her be for now. i'll find out better when i get home. if my wife's a weepy-eyed mess, then i don't imagine junior will be staying up there the rest of the week.

i'm glad that all of this has finally come out regardless of what motivated it or whether or not it was seen as "that's just how it's done in hollywood." it's archaic, and that's the absolute least of it's worries right now. this guy deserves jail time but that's likely going to be very hard to prove and i'm sure his legal team will stop at nothing to defend him, with lots of victim blaming to choke a team of horses. i wonder if stories about others who have done this will also start coming out. hollywood is a filthy place, and if this helps to start to clean it up, even better.

Harvey's wife is leaving him, surprising no one. Meanwhile he's off to some private treatment facility to deal with his problems. His wife is gorgeous. Not sure why he hasn't been loyal to her, unless he's addicted to power, or a major horndog, or he's just a major dick.

even knowing that, I was still surprised they were allowed to televise since they're more of an independent station and not the actual network channel. regardless, I liked it and hope it continues.

Four goals in the first period. Pretty darn impressive beginning.

i think it's worth noting that on the night in question, big mo actually tumbled into the visitors dugout. carry on.

hawaiians don't care, bra.

so opening night alex ovechkin scores a hat trick. In game #2, he netted 4 more goals. In two games he has 7 goals. Half the Kings team, upon seeing the story, responding, "wait, that's legal? huh, whaddaya know."

snuba = snorkeling + scuba it's a blast. if you like the water, you'd enjoy this a whole bunch.

180 lbs. about 45 more to reach my goal. the pounds are coming off more slowly these days and i'm able to eat more, but i'm maintaining well and am really enjoying where i am right now.

Also last week, Brown signed legislation allowing for penalties of up to one year in jail for health care workers who “willfully and repeatedly” use the “wrong” pronouns to refer to a senior transgender patient. (RELATED: Legal Experts: Transgender Pronoun Mandates Are Unconstitutional) WTF. We have finally crossed the abyss.

maybe he needs to visit harvey weinstein in his hotel room one of these nights. too soon?

that's because his brain, unlike his hands, is more bigly than anyone else's.

yessir! snuba diving in maui this summer. one of the best things i've ever done.
