Your “Milestones Come In All Forms” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Site news: We passed 400,000 comments during the Monday Night game.

Nearest I can decipher, the magic comment was Unsurprised with, “562 comments? This can’t be that good of a game. It’s fucking Truth Biscuit vs. whatever’s left of the Vikings.” For this blog, it seems appropriate. Well done people.

  

THAT’S GOOD HUSTLE!


NFL News:

  • It might be starting for the Lions. Haloti Ngata is done for the season.
    • a torn bicep is the culprit, although “a matter of time” could just as easily be the villain.
  • Whatever the Browns saw on Sunday has led them to bench DeShone Kizer.
    • Instead, they will feed Kevin Hogan to the Texans, in what otherwise looks like another semi-winnable game for the Browns.
    • This now makes 28 Browns starting QBs since 1999.
  • The Giants have suspended Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
    • On word on why yet, but he apparently showed up to the team facility & said he was leaving the team.

What the fuck is this alleged drinking with a stick game talk about? Eew.

LemonJello

I was too busy telling kids to get off my lawn. What’s this all about?

SonOfSpam

“Ohio State – Nebraska: THIS ONE’S FOR THE OUTBACK BOWL.”

theeWeeBabySeamus

Poor Judge…99 pitches but a heater ain’t one.

Senor Weaselo

I was surprised the first pitch was a fastball. It was nowhere near close, but still!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I missed that one I guess. That’s what I get for going to get a beer.

SonOfSpam

HEY. You should NEVER doubt the decision to get a beer.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He needs to give Jobu moar rum, take fear from bat.

Horatio Cornblower

His swing is awful. He couldn’t hit those pitches with an ironing board.

Senor Weaselo

So the offseason… all the sliders, or more than an infinite number of sliders?

Horatio Cornblower

I’d be happy if they could get him to just stop trying to pull every fucking pitch. Like he was doing ABOUT A FUCKING WEEK AGO!!!

He’s young and he’ll be very good but godDAMN is he pissing me off right now.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You just described my biggest issue with Chris Davis….who is not young.
Fucker never learns.

Does anyone know what the fuck Matt Vasgersian was saying there?

SonOfSpam

I don’t speak Kardashian.

SonOfSpam

Kid’s practicing her violin. Just started playing “Sleigh Ride” which means only 2 more months until endless Christmas concerts. Sorry, “holiday” concerts because libruls aborted baby Jesus.

King Hippo

yep, classic Yankee juju. CC gonna throw a shutout. g’nite folks

Didn’t know CC was a juju. Seemed Catholic. Oh well.

Think of the ratings!

Senor Weaselo

Think of the lingo… Assionals!

I think the taekery in LA v NY would be too much to take.

King Hippo

I’ve wanted Astros/Dodgers since the Break.

...

I’ll be kinda pissed if the Cubs and Indians are eliminated because the Indians are my backup team to root for.

Bought some bean chips at the store today. Made out of beans. They have the texture and blandness of rice cakes, but satisfyingly salty, and made out of beans. Heh, bean chips.

Senor Weaselo

Replace your divots, CC.

I had a little chuckle when he said that.

“Bo, a superhuman bisexual succubus, was portrayed by Anna Silk.”

You just don’t see writing like that these days.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Up in LA with free drink tickets. Drunk Yanks fans at the bar next to me seem to think they’re gonna find a way to trade for Manny Machado, liking him purely because he hates the Sawx.

Please let them lose hilariously.

Horatio Cornblower

They’re not trading for him but they are going to back up a truck filled with gold bars and dump it on his front lawn the second he’s a free agent.

Which is at the end of 2018.

Not that I’ve thought about this.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I suddenly don’t like how this conversation has turned.

King Hippo

Noooooo, you are supposed to have tunnel vision FOAR Harper so that Machado wears the Birds on the Bat quit crushing mah dreams, u dam Yankee smh

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, you can bite me too. Hee hee.

Senor Weaselo

Him and Harper, ppl forget that.

Horatio Cornblower

The only reason the Yankees go after Harper is if they think they can make money off of marketing him. The OF right now is Hicks, Gardner, Ellsbury, Clint Frazier and Judge.

Hicks, Frazier, and Judge are all young and cheap. Gardner is good, 33, and not really that cheap. Ellsbury is old, not especially good and very expensive, so they’re not moving him to anyone without having to pick up a huge part of his contract. Their OF is set for years and they don;t need to pay $30-$40 million a year to add Harper to that group.

/Watches as the Yankees sign Harper and Machado and forget to get a starting pitcher

theeWeeBabySeamus

You can have Ubaldo…cheap. Free even as far as I’m concerned. Hell, we’ll even give you a draft pick to take him.

Senor Weaselo

How have they not Lane Kiffined him?

theeWeeBabySeamus

comment image

Horatio Cornblower

Ellsbury for Ubaldo, straight up, and no breaks on the contracts.

Do it, you won’t!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, no. I can eat one more year of $12.5 mil per. Thanks tho.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh no, wait….I thought he ran thru ’18. He’s UFA now apparently.

comment image

Senor Weaselo

I don’t think they should sign Harper due to that logjam even if it’s cleared out a little trading Fowler and Rutherford. Even Machado I’m not sure about considering Andujar and Torres on the up and coming (though I could see them dealing Castro to make room for Torres).

Sad Indians fans are sad….comment image

litre_cola

I am sorry for my ignorance, I had to look up what a Superfund Site was. THE NAME DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT IT IS!!!!!

blaxabbath

What are the customs of our government that every document is a complex, lame, bureaucratic title. We could have WAY cooler names for our war machines and weaponry; we don’t because we’re a dull neutral government. But then they go to these devestating disaster areas WHERE NATURE NEEDS MAN TO HELP IT SURVIVE and, instead of giving it a dull descriptive name that would attract less media attention because, you know, no one wants to hear about these disasters at home — no, that’s the time the Feds rip off their ties and are like, “SUPERFUND SITES!!!” as if it’s not a taylormade shock news title?

Horatio Cornblower

I’d be happier if this wasn’t pretty much exactly how Game 2 started.

Senor Weaselo

CHALLENGE IT, JOE!

Horatio Cornblower

If I’m the Yankees I would seriously consider leaving Judge off the ALCS roster, and I would definitely leave Betances home. 1-17 with 13 K’s is not getting it done in October.

Senor Weaselo

Betances potentially, Judge just for the looming factor. I’m surprised he got a whole 6 fastballs in Game 2 though. That’s about 7 more than I’d expect.

Senor Weaselo

(As in, Judge would stay on for the looming factor.)

Horatio Cornblower

Keep in mind that I really like Judge; I just think he’s completely lost at the plate right now and this is not the time for that sort of thing.

litre_cola

See you bye. She gone.

Heresy Alert: There’s a doc on Spielberg on Canadia HBO right now. He’s done great stuff but there’s likely about 15/20 other director’s docs that I’d be more interested to see.

The ghost in that scene from Ghostbusters reminds me of one of my exes-apart from the ability to read, mind you.

Ditto here, but probably for different reasons.

Senor Weaselo

Too early to woo, but… slight woo?

King Hippo

eh, I would feel better if CC wasn’t pitching if I were you. That said, he probably gets yanked the first time he puts two dudes on base.

This feels like classic Yankees juju, though.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah. I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but….yeah.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fine. But next time you give us a full woo, or you don’t woo at all, mister.

“Hold my beer” – America

Redshirt

“You either with Trump or with us, not both.”

I see Liberals haven’t learned why they lost in ’16. If they tell independents or undecided Republicans they even think of supporting Trump they are worthless, where do you think they are going to go?

If you keep them in the fold, you can engage them in conversation, point out the flaws in their arguments and then eventually earn their support.

If you excommunicate them, the only place they have to go is Trump.

King Hippo

I fully believe in a message of inclusion, and believe the left should ALWAYS be a big tent. Personally, I’m really more centre-left anyway (especially in terms of economic policy).

That said, it seems to me like the right gets away with a lot more bomb throwing in that respect.

/of course, everyone’s perception is different and hard to be 100% objective

Redshirt

Agreed with the right, but back when the Republican Party was a political party and not a cult of personality it was one our strengths. That’s how Reagan was able to win twice, Bush 41 to win once and Bush 43 to win twice. Its also how Clinton won twice and how Obama won twice.

King Hippo

America really does need (at least) two thinking, functional parties. This needs fixin’ and right soon.

Redshirt

My theory is the Republican Party is going to splinter between the Hard Right and Centre Right. Centre Right will merge with Libertarians to create a new party.

Democratic Party will survive but will go further left.

litre_cola

So, Canada. 3 parties.

PC – merged with Alliance
Libs, moving just right of the needle
NDP- moving further left by the day
Parti Quebecois – Fuck those guys

King Hippo

So we will be Canadia? We must work on our manners and spelling.

blaxabbath

That’s interesting that the libertarians reach that far in. I feel a lot of self-described l”libertarians ” are just hard right in sheets clothing, and when you make them choose, they’ll *AGAIN * find a reason to justify abandoning libertarian ideals.

As a more libertarian (more Johnson or Paul than to the anti-civil rights act purists) I think it’ll be exposed as just how few there really are. The tea party evangelicals hijacked libertarianism in their message (remember: “we’re going to open every bill with a legal description of why it fits the Constitutional authority of Congress.”?) and now it’s the hard righters who are using it as a thin veil of a valid third party who is not considered as vile/racist/hateful as many of Trump’s most loyal followers.

When I fucked up, rolled my car, and came within a CENTIMETER of snapping my spine, at least I KNEW, THANKFULLY, NO ONE BUT I WAS IMMEDIATELY INJURED. And ALL the Authorities immediately said, “SHOGUN! YA DONE FUCKED UP! We’re going to stop you now.”
