Yes, that was him. RIP Loaf!

I'm starting to think we will never get the "knock your socks off" offer for Hader. It seems the teams that need him just aren't willing to give that kind of offer for him or he'd be gone already. He is elite enough that at this point, I'm fine with keeping him until he leaves via free agency. No way I come off my asking price to any team just to get "something" in return. Especially if that team is the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, or any other large market team looking to rape the Brewers for their stud closer. I'm fine with having an elite closer until he's gone...

If we lose Houser and Small, we damn well better be getting BETTER than a "good" bat in return.

If Dahl is our plan at DH, I am not cool with that. P U !

Small as our #6 right out of the gate? *nah*

I've thought the same on Michael Irving. Plus, besides all his issues he's just really bad at the job. Yeah, there are probably others as well... Why not have Antonio Brown do pregames? Randy Moss is another one, but not on the level of Vick, Lewis, etc...

I have 4 out of 22 that are out the next 2 weeks due to testing positive. The week before winter break I had 7 kids out. 1 tested positive, so I am assuming the others had it but didnt get tested. My kids, both under 3 years old, got sick right around that time, so maybe they got it again or maybe it was just a cold. I have to teach art today(no prep for me...boo) because the art teacher is home with their kiddo who tested positive. The librarian just tested positive - she was at school yesterday. It is a never ending thing and I am just not sure how I feel about it all. I had it in August and felt pretty crummy. I got vaxxed about 3 months later and am fully vaxxed now, so I kinda wonder if I was the one transferring it to everyone but have no major symptoms. The entire situation just sucks... Our school has to wear masks for two weeks minimum until the numbers go down. If 3% of our student population tests positive, that means we go to masks, if we get below 3%, no masks. It's kind of a joke really when we know we have parents who refuse to test their kids. Hell, we have parents that refuse to answer any questions at all over the phone. They simlpy say "I am not answering that question" when asked if their kids who are staying home sick have covid symptoms or will be tested. These parents would rather their kids come to school and infect everyone else than have their kids test positive and have to be out of school for a week or longer. Our numbers say more than 3% currently, but we have so many kids walking around like zombies, sicker than dogs, not being tested. I'd guess we have at least 20% of our students that would probably test positive if tested, but that isn't going to happen.

I can't believe that the NFL feels the need to employ Mike Vick as a pre game guy for the playoff games. Is there no one else available? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, they still act like Ray Lewis isn't a murderer or at the very least, knows who murdered someone. They also seem to be fine with putting Ben Roethlisberger on a pedestal. Pretty disgusting.

My school is back to masking for the next 2 weeks, or until our covid numbers go down. I knew it was bound to happen so it is what it is.

Murray is severely over rated. We've seen his skillset a hundred times in the NFL, and rarely is it sustainable. He'll flame out and just be a guy in the next couple of years.

Cardinals signed Korean OF Won-Bin Cho. Cho, a South Korean high school baseball prospect, withdrew from the Korea Baseball Organization draft last August to pursue an opportunity with a major-league organization. The lefty-hitting slugger drew plenty of interest after winning a homer derby for underclass players at the National Power Showcase in Texas two offseason ago. He doesn't turn 19 years old until August and immediately becomes one of the most interesting prospects in the Cardinals' organization.

Careful what you wish for. Tampa is a warm weather team, but their QB is not a warm weather QB. TB12 will be ready for the challenge, and so will the rest of the team, assuming they get by LA, which I am not certain of. You like a matchup with the Packers better than one with the Rams? That "careful what you wish for" thing may be a two-way street. In order for us to get the the NFCCG, we have to beat the Rams, who I did not want to play. I was rooting for the AZ matchup, but obviously that wasn't going to happen. lol It's not a sure thing the Packers get past the 9ers, even though most here think it's a gimme. I'd much rather play the 9ers at Tampa for the NFCCG than go to Lambeau, but that hasn't been decided yet, and as I said earlier, the Bucs beating the Rams is going to be a tough task, even with the GOAT...

I REALLY hate to see Erickson leave the Timber Rattlers, but good for him!

I'm rooting for AZ tonight!

EXACTLY! This, this, this!

gross

For reference, Rodgers garnered 46 votes last season, to Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes' two apiece. Rodgers won last year's MVP award going away (44 votes, to 4 for Allen and 2 for Mahomes). The voting will likely be closer this year, but it is still very much Rodgers' award to lose. Can't be right. I've been told they're neck and neck. Don't they know Brady threw 6 more TDs and 5,000 yards?

Exactly, Hiura = Adell at this point. I'd even argue that Hiura is better based on the fact he did have some success at the MLB level, Adell has not. If we trade Hiura and Houser for Adell, that would be gross.

I unfortunately have. It's terrible. Don't waste your time. lol That is what I was afraid of... Thanks!

My students have been talking about a movie on NETFLIX that they think is just hilarious. I realize that most of the time, what high school kids think is hilarious, I find not hilarious, but has anyone seen the following movie, and can recommend it to adults? The Wrong Missy They have told me it was pretty nasty and vulgar, which is really all it takes high school students to love it. lol

ouch!

Will Sammon of the Athletic reports that the Brewers will utilize J.C. Mejía as a reliever this upcoming season. Mejía was acquired from the Guardians in a trade earlier this offseason and has been phenomenal in the Dominican Winter League, recording a microscopic 1.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 23/9 K/BB ratio across 18 innings (15 appearances). The 25-year-old righty struggled mightily as a starter in Cleveland last year, but could experience a breakthrough out of Milwaukee's bullpen. SOURCE: The Athletic Jan 12, 2022, 8:19 PM ET

We had some neighbors take a few bills out to the mailbox, put the flag up, then not 10 minutes later, a car pulled up and took them from the mailbox and drove away. Car had no plates (of course) but they did get a decent description of the car. They called their bank and had the checks cancelled, and 24 hours later, they police had the thieves in custody. Not sure how they caught them, guessing the idiots tried cashing the checks? It's nice to see law enforcement work so efficiently. As far as the criminals, they suck, and so do all people who would resort to doing this kind of thing. I'm assuming that stealing mail from a mailbox is a federal crime, but I highly doubt they will get those serious charges thrown at them. Time to start dropping the hammer on all the criminal behavior in our society. It feels like things are getting out of hand.

"Among other miscellaneous proposals, the league would package a universal designated hitter with its version of the expanded postseason, and the union pitched allowing the league to put advertisement patches on uniforms to generate further revenue." I HATE the idea of advertisement patches. Just hate it.
