    Dude one team wins it. The team that made the ONE EXTRA MOVE in getting Machado, didn't. The Nationals were written off numerous times last year. It's so much more complicated than people make it out to be with this hindsight stuff.

    3B is terrible but outside of that, I like what they have done with the roster. I think the offense stands to be just as good and I think it'll be better. I hope they do something else at third, but I think we'll have a competitor again if they don't. 3B makes me gag right now though.

    I wouldn't. That's easy to say after they actually win one. The more likely scenario is that you're Melvin's Brewers. You go once every 8 years, don't finish it, and fall off the earth. I want shots. We've had 3 reasonable ones in 3 years. That's how we're eventually going to do it. Sustainably competitive. There's absolutely no fun in those off years where you know the team sucks in February. I hate that. Pass. I'll take this.

    Mark's a great owner. I think he does care more about winning more than the typical owner. I think he genuinely likes MKE and wants to win for the community. That said, I think he's still going to put the health of the organization ahead of that. It has to operate sustainably and cannot bleed money year after year. The use of the word scam though, is laughable. It isn't any more a scam than your local Dairy Queen raising the price of a blizzard because the margins weren't good enough last year. He's selling and you're buying and nobody has a gun to your head. If you're unhappy don't buy. You're not entitled to a winning team.

    Exactly, Seattle has for some reason skirted that "lack of big win" criticism. Probably because they did beat SF, played them tight a 2nd time, and had some other less humiliating losses with good teams. The Packers really only got one shot at a good team outside the division and lost in embarrassing fashion. If you believe that the 49er game was flukey in the manner in which they lost, then you should have a good deal of confidence in them beating Seattle. That team is really, really beat up. Kevin King would be their best corner. I don't think one guy on that OL would start for the Packers.

    I'm not one to throw a tantrum over moves like this, but man. We are really doing this guy and Sogard at 3rd, aren't we?

    I concur. On the subject of pizza, I finally cracked and bought a Great Value rising crust. It was just too cheap to pass up and has like twice the weight of a Jack's.

    Sometimes kids have to fly and they can't be expected to act like adults. I was on a flight to Europe with a baby who cried the entire trip. The mother seemed, for lack of a better word, ashamed by it. I was across the isle from her, when we made eye contact I always smiled to reassure her I sympathized with her. Some people gave her dirty looks but I felt kids crying is something parents can't always prevent so why make them feel worse? I don't have the same sympathy for parents who let kids listen to movies or music without headphones. Why people think they are entitled to a quiet child-less flight is amazing to me. You are on public transport. It's a flying bus. It's families traveling for work, adoptions, military, and yes vacation. People should expect noise and have noise-cancelling headphones if it bothers them.

    It is. However, the Great Value/McCafe/Dunkin bag that you get at the grocery store is just nothing at all like getting a genuine roast from a farm or a legit cafe that knows what they're doing. Don't get me wrong, the former is what I drink 99% of the time. But when I'm on vacation and get the good stuff somewhere, you realize most of what we're drinking is not really coffee.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Lynch is a total non factor. He's 33 and fat and has done nothing since coming back. If that retread does anything then the Packers deserve whatever happens. Seattle has one way to win this game and that's Wilson doing Wilson things. The Packers can win in a variety ways. On paper, there's no reason to think the Packers won't win. But it's not played on paper and despite all of that, I can't quite get myself to think the Packers will win by 10+. An "easy" win would do wonders I think for team's confidence should they have to go into SF. But I fully expect another heart attack playoff experience that swings on one big play at the end.

    To be fair, the smell of it, and coffee flavored ice cream and candy, etc. kept me off it for 30 years. I always thought it smelled gross and any sip I'd had from my parents as a kid was disgusting. It still is kind of objectively a bad taste, a lot of research has been done on that topic. It in no way tastes "good" but people still love it, and it's more than just caffeine. Even as someone who loves it I would never say black coffee tastes "good" per se.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    I feel this way too but I do wonder how valid it is. It seems that after a while, the morning cup just brings me back to where I was before I started drinking it at all. I can't handle more than one cup or I get the shakes.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    I never had coffee until I was married and now I can't start a day without it. I started on K-Cups, which I loved and now find disgusting.

    You could have told me Sportscenter was cancelled and I wouldn't know any better. I just watch games. I feel like the rest of it is for teenagers and guys in their dorms between classes.

    The random times I end up at McDonald's I actually find their coffee pretty solid. All I drink is plain blank unless I'm sitting down for breakfast somewhere then I'll get cappuccino or something. The artsy drinks that they inject 300 calories into just make me sick thinking about.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    The average transaction is about $8.05 using data from 2018. I can't buy a cup of coffee personally. I never have purchased anything from Starbucks and maybe once a year I'll order something artisan at a local cafe but the people going through the drive through every morning...that's just insane to me.

    I can't see that happening because it would just make them look that much worse if it's true and a clearly better movie. It seems more likely they just plop out another set of films (they are, 2022) and learn from how badly they mangled this one. They did mess this up, but for the most part, the content is usually pretty good. They didn't get where they are by sucking.

    Lando's daughter is in fact one of the cut components of JJ's version, allegedly. As is Finn point blank saying he has force sensory, Ben actually speaks at the end, and some of other stuff I don't remember regarding the Knights of Ren. Basically, a lot of the stupid holes are supposedly filled in during the extended cut.

    John Boyega pointed this out on Twitter or Insta or some other site I'm not on. He's had some interesting posts lately.

    That bobble won't happen, but there's precedent for it. They did CC Sabathia while he was very much a relevant player, 2010, just one offseason after he left. It was memorializing a franchise moment but they've done it.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I gave up long ago on thinking the team gives one crap about actually good bobbles. I just accept the free gift and say thanks. The sole reason for these is selling more tickets, and it works. Their target demo doesn't care about Juan Nieves. There's a reason we've gotten 25 Brauns and Younts. They throw a bone once every few years with Vaughn or something but it's rare. Maybe I'm wrong and they'll finally get it right for the 50th. I hope. You can pencil in Yelich getting another one if not. If they want to go down memory lane it's beyond time to get a Cirillo.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Depends which Vikings show up. If last week's Vikings show up it'll be a good game. If the other 4-5 week version shows up they will lose by 30. I think if the good Vikings play, they are better equipped to beat them than the Packers are, for the reasons you stated, and that they have Cook and don't pretend Allen Lazard is a #2 WR. It's hard for me to see that offensive line holding up against SF though. How the Packers got so badly manhandled by them is still troubling.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    There is a whole conspiracy out there about this whole thing, that Disney just milked the thing for $ and nothing else and sabotaged JJ because there are rumblings of him doing a bunch of DC films. That is the threat to their Marvel golden calf at the moment. I'm basically the most anti conspiracy person there is, but when you start reading it all makes sense and is oddly specific. He apparently cringed when he saw the "they can fly now?" scene, it was only added to the film to sell flying stormtrooper toys. There are a bunch of deleted scenes that IMO make this movie better, because it has a LOT of unexplained plot holes and random things that just don't make sense. I was entertained by it and would say it was "fine" but sloppy is also a word that comes to mind.

    They also need to move up single game ticket sales to early December so that people can buy them for Christmas. I get Mariners tickets for Christmas almost every year. I've always found that so strange. They release the 4 packs but it seems like they are really missing out on a gifting opportunity. The 4 pack is basically the only non season package you can buy for someone on the biggest retail holiday of the year.
