Ads are coming

The ads are here, and holy crap are they all over the place and terrible! -
I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Yelich is already penciled in the #3 spot in next Thursday's lineup.

It all depends on how Seattle sees him. If they think he could be a future franchise QB, that is actually a pretty light return.

Added to the major league roster today, and has no options left, so it appears he's slated for that final swingman BP spot. They must have liked what they saw after getting him in the building.

I saw this morning that a production company is remaking a late-90s show named Early Edition, where a down on his luck young stockbroker played by a super young Kyle Chandler somehow got tomorrow's newspaper delivered to him every morning (by an orange cat, weirdly), and instead of using it to his advantage for monetary or personal gain, decided to use that newfound knowledge to help people. I remember really liking it as a teen, but honestly hadn't thought about that show in years. As it turns out, it isn't streaming anywhere, but I was able to find a full series (4 seasons) DVD box set pretty reasonably. Kinda looking forward to a little nostalgia. I wonder if early-40s me will have a different perspective than teenage me? LOL

I'm sure he expected to the "the man" on Community, but the audience ended up gravitating toward Joel McHale's and Donald Glover's characters, so most storylines eventually focused on them, with some going quirky with Danny Pudi as the lead. His role after awhile was basically slapstick one-liners and being a foil for the main characters. I'm sure the way his character was written had a lot to do with his on-set behavior. The other actors didn't want much to do with him.

I handled the hiring of a proofreader at the print media company I work for several years ago. We received quite a few applicants, including one who was very much qualified for the job. He was also someone I knew personally and considered a friend. But as I began reviewing his resume, I noticed a glaring misspelling in the first sentence of the Objective section. Mind you, he was applying for a PROOFREADER position. Unfortunately for him I didn't continue reading the rest of the resume.

Excellent show. Kinda went off the rails Season 4 when they fired Dan Harmon, but Season 5 and 6 were pretty great again, even though they weirdly retired Chevy Chase's character. Chase kind of did that to himself. No one liked him. And then when he was asked to do some scenes toward the end of the season - he just refused - and left the set. Never came back. Everyone just kind of washed their hands of him at that point. Chase has been notorious for that type of behavior his entire career. He's always been a diva. You get what you pay for with him.

Such an odd show. I can't decide if its a comedy or a drama. All I know is that it's addicting.

I unfortunately have. It's terrible. Don't waste your time.

LOL 25 hours and $5 extra for 150 hours? I get unlimited for free with YouTube TV. But you keep on doing you and paying for that horrible customer service. We will see you in 2-years from now when you are again complaining about how they won't bring the price down for you. 2 years? If it is really that bad, I won't stay 2 years, no contract. I can handle $120 a month (including the larger dvr storage, internet, and tv) and be able to watch Brewers games. The Bally Sports channel is the deal breaker for me. I'll pay extra for that, no problem at all. I just see no reason to pay Spectrum $238 when I can get the same deal for 2 years with TDS for about $120-$125. If you guys who go back and forth between streaming services, and can't watch the Brewers, feel it's worth it for you and what you do, then have at it. I am not sticking up for TDS by any means, just seems like they are worth a try. I agree with you. If I had the option of TDS, I'd give them a shot. It seems pretty reasonable, all things considered. I certainly hope that there are eventually more options to get Bally Sports and watch Brewer games in the future. If there isn't, I'll likely be ponying up funds for DirectTV Now once again come March.

It's the same thing. ATT TV rebranded as DirectTV Stream in late August.

Thank you for that suggestion. For $9, I may give it a try. My wife is an Apple loyalist (hence, the two Apple TVs upstairs). I’m more inclined to go the cheapest route since we’re talking about a Frankenstein basement setup. Any recommendations? Roku? Amazon? Something else? I run Roku Express units on all my TVs. They are cheap (under $30) and super easy to use. Amazon Fire Sticks are pretty comparable. I've used both, and IMO the Rokus are a little easier to navigate.

1) You should be able to do that if the TV has an HDMI hookup. Otherwise you'd need to by a cheap converter such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Eanetf-Connector-Adapter-Transmitter/dp/B097QRSH31/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=hdmi+to+av+cable&qid=1638546872&sr=8-3 2) Probably not, as most monitors do not have audio functionality. Not sure if you'd be able to use an adapter for an external speaker system. There might be a way to do that.

Brewers acquire Daniel Norris from Tigers

He's likely the type of guy who will sign a minors deal with an opt-out. I don't think I'd take much issue with that. -

The few times we saw Bickford pitch here, he was throwing fastballs with little movement in the upper 80s to low 90s. There was literally nothing he was doing that indicated that he'd ever be anything more than a replaceable, dime-a-dozen reliever. I don't fault the Brewers at all for finally dumping him after sticking by him through all his off-field issues over the years. Perhaps he's found something with the Dodgers ... who knows. I do know, though, that relievers who don't bring much special to the table rarely last long. -

They won't ... and shouldn't. Go take a look at the first few outings Pomeranz had for the Brewers if you want proof why they shouldn't. Pomeranz was a lot better his first few outings. He fanned 5 in his first 2 innings, both scoreless. His third appearance was a 3 inning start. Only hit he allowed was a HR, but he fanned 3 and Brewers won the game easily. In the appearance he allowed 2 runs, they scored when Hader gave up a 3 run HR. Brewers should DFA him now. He's getting worse with every appearance. He can't be trusted in high leverage situations. So why keep him? If you like him for next year, he'll be available on a minor league deal. Pomeranz was a much more accomplished pitcher with winning teams. I consider "a few" to be 5-6 outings. Pomeranz gave up a run in 2/3 of an inning against the Rangers on Aug. 10, then a couple more against the Rangers in 1/3 of an inning on Aug. 13 following that run he gave up in his spot start. Then he went into ace reliever mode basically through the end of the season. Norris isn't real far off that trajectory right now. He has a good arm, and I expect them to give him several more chances. He was very good for the Tigers from July 10 through the trade deadline. If he falters, you move on. Eventually. Not after less than 6 innings total. -

Without a doubt. Velo is at least 3-4 mph higher than Milner on the FB, and Norris's slider is much better than any of Milner's secondary stuff. Plus he's not a junkballing side-armer. I hate junk-balling sidearmers.
