Really struggling with the judgement my Upstate NY wife will impose on me for not having shoveled yet with the fact that I haven’t shoveled because I’m trying to let her sleep

I think he was mostly crowded out with guys like Glenn Hubbard, Stan Javier and Mike Gallego all competing for ABs, along with him having some injuries. And then went to worse teams where there was more opportunity.

In another era maybe he'd have been valued more a la Ben Zobrist.

(Would that add up to warranting a HOF vote? Maybe in a year where I only thought nine guys legitimately deserved it and wanted to hand out the 10th vote as a career achievement award.)

I loved him on the A's, but his explosion when he left was just outrageous. A seven-year stretch from ages 31-37 where he had 32.9 WAR and a slash line of .277/.396/.412.

Makes you wonder what he'd have done with more health/opportunity in Oakland.

Solid and versatile defender too.

Brock Purdy’s first full season as a starter would set Bears records for passing yards, TDs and rating and at the end of the season most people couldn’t decide if he was good or not.

Compromised and used the school's old name and its new name in the announcement, @calpolyhumboldt.bsky.social

I had the same job title, duties and schedule for like 12 years. Since then: chaos.

My collection was built at library sales and garage sales and used record stores where you could get harder to find stuff for cheap. Every record my daughter buys is $40 and I just sit there baffled.

Can confirm that a perfect baby can turn into a perfect toddler and perfect little kid and perfect big kid and perfect tween and perfect teen. Highly recommend good children and liking them.

New starting flute at Fairfield Warde. A 5-foot-2 freshman out of the Stratfield neighborhood. Keep an eye on Laurel Hoffman. She’s an animal.
