D. Hocking

I think I used a stone tablet image for Chief last year. The content of my posts are as fresh and original as Chief's jokes (although I suspect they are still accurate).

Frustrating series, because even if they would have had mediocre hitting, they probably could have won the series. Some good pitching games wasted. I would say something the potential for this game, but I think I will wait until the bull pen finishes the top of the 9th.

You cannot received Chief's newsletter electronically.

I think Gladden just said something like this is something that is going to happen every once in awhile (or something like that). I think his definition of "every once in awhile" is different than mine.

Harder to tell on the radio, but that is the impression I got as well, and Gladden seemed to think he should have made the play.

Lynn > > Trout As expected.

The main question now, is who will play the lead in the movie Hocking - Utility Hero? Sadly, Brad Pitt is now too old for the part. Maybe he could play the role in the sequel that takes place during the LumberKing years.

I am guessing he did not want to show off which is why he quit singing, not that he did not know the words to God Bless America. You think he maybe would have learned the words for this, although I ready he has spent a total 8 to 10 hours prepping for the NK summit, so that would be a lot to expect. Plus that would cut into his time live-tweeting Fox News. He has two large international summits coming up and he is spending much of his day watching the State TV soothe his ego. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDbmGNuZQPE

Wow...(in full disclosure - I did not listen to all of the NRA video that was with this tweet, it could be that it was well thought out and balanced). NRATV ‏@NRATV Follow Follow @NRATV "It's time to put an end to this glorification of carnage in pursuit of ratings because it's killing our kids. It's time for Congress to step up and pass legislation putting common sense limitations on #MSM's ability to report on these school shootings." –@MrColionNoir #MSMsense

I did see a tweet in response to this saying that Fire Departments love when there are limited exits to large and heavily populated buildings. I see Oliver North blamed it on Ritalin. How does he even have a career or considered a serious voice on anything?

When asked what she would do if Trump asked her to use torture, didn't she reply he would never do that? This from a man who already had said he believes torture works. I am sure the Senate followed up on that. Really the majority of the people who have been nominated and confirmed have been either unqualified for their job or chosen specifically because they will dismantle the agency they are going to be heading. We are going to be paying for the lack of any true conviction on the Hill for a long, long time just for some of the judicial appointments alone. Sounds like there is a chance Trump might not be getting his Noble Peace Prize for solving the Korean problem. I still don't think there is an ambassador to South Korea, which I think could be problematic.

Think Trump will say something thoughtful about the situation in Gaza where 50 people have been killed in the last few weeks, including during Ivanka and Jared's photo ops ribbon cutting ceremony, or will he just pat his own back?

I am hoping the team that got swept by Tampa was the alien imposters and this team is the real thing.

They played some pretty bad baseball over that period, but I do wonder how much losing four days to the winter that did not end and then flying off to PR messed them up. It certainly does not excuse that stretch and there were flaws exposed that had nothing to do with a disruption of games, but I wonder if that stretch would not have been quite as ugly.

Think he can navigate a space ship?

Luckily it does not matter, because I just mute the announcers and get some excellent commentary and baseball insight reading the TD game thread instead.

Think of some of the pitchers that came up 2011 - 2014 - most of whose names have been banished from my memory. It is nice to see someone with true talent and potential and not someone you break into a cold sweat when you see his name in the line-up.

Nicknames are a lot harder to come up with in the post-Gardenhire era.

It is hard to imagine how hiring someone to be your lawyer who really has not done much legal practice in close to 30 years, is known for liking to promote himself and speaking impulsively, has shown that he is more likely going to be a sycophant and not give you an honest opinion when needed, could possibly have gone wrong.

I am assuming this is fake - but I still like it. Probably not the way Hannity wanted the interview to go.

Nothing like grasping at straws, but it does seem like two of the more recent losses were not quite as epically disastrous. It really could have been 4 and 11, so really they are practically back in contention... It is nice to see someone have a strong debut and hopefully he can continue to contribute.

This would be pretty amazing with today's special effects. (I have heard it is worth checking out, esp. after the first few episodes). [and yes - how in the hell did they not just shoot Smith in the original series.] http://www.thiel-a-vision.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/tybo2.jpg

I would not mind if he got a few more of these suits. He does not even try to be truthful or based in reality anymore. Some of his personal attacks are pretty over-the-top and reckless. I think Dolly had some impact as well - in addition to saving Washington's portrait.

Sorry - I missed this and figured since I was asked, I should at least respond, although I think the discussion has run its course. My not being her biggest fan, like an early post said, was from the days of the W administration. The Katrina remark is the one that stands out, but there were other things she said during those years that I did not care for (which at this point cannot remember making for a really good argument). I know it was not just the Katrina statement. That said, I am also not her biggest critic. I do think she was tough, smart, and was not afraid to speak her mind or call out her party. I admire the way she handled her last days when she knew the end was near, and whatever their history, she and George seemed to have a true partnership.
