I’m still letting my kids play whatever they want. They play deck hockey, flag football, soccer, basketball. Played a couple seasons of ice. They enjoy it so it’s hard for me to push them to excel in one sport

5-0 early. They need to get the lead to 10 or 15 before going to the pen though.

Our 8 and 10 year old participated in travel soccer tryouts this week. Over 250 kids across 3 days. There will be 6 teams so a lot of kids and parents will be disappointed. My 10 year old may stop trying out if he doesn’t make it this year. He’s a good athlete, but he also isn’t committed to one spo...

The same technology should be used for touchdowns too. So many questions over whether the ball passed the plane or not.

I’m just upset upper management will do nothing to help this club. If you’re not going to bring in guys that can hit in spite of the coaching, then get rid of the coaches. This whole “they’re in a slump” bs is just an excuse to do nothing. Like, today it should have been 8-2 with the amount of guys ...

Their PP sucks

I was staying with my grandparents in Brentwood the night of the Mt Washington tornado in 98. Ton of wind, rain, and lightning while we stood on their front porch. Probably the closest I've been to a tornado warned storm until this year, and there's been 2 in the last 2 weeks (the cell that spawned...

CIT bank is at 5%

Thank you - will pass this on to him.

Didn’t attend a Red Lobster until I met my wife. We went once and that was it for me. Overpriced, overprocessed seafood. No thank you

RVs are a pretty good example of my theory. They are expensive and uneconomical and time consuming. But they are also fun and a great way to make memories. I don’t own an rv and I don’t have a country club membership but those are two things that would be very rewarding but also extremely uneconomi...

I have a general rule that there’s in an inverse relationship between “economic value” and memorable fun. Hobbies weddings kids all fun. All terrible in terms of cost/benefit.

You’re banned from the outdoor thread

My wife is glad to let me do all the finances, so we have a shared account. There are way too many budget items that it would create too much work to split the bills.

Our rule is if it’s under $100, no need to ask. And obviously don’t go spending $99 every day of the week on random crap.

Next time take your niece to the tournament and make them stay home and watch the dogs

A warm body?

They may draw 15,000

What a defeated fan base the Pirates have... Shouldn’t be surprised by this. Not sure how anybody has any optimism beyond individual performances. This is beyond a string of bad GMs, it’s rotten to the core. I probably started losing all optimism early 2000s. That’s still 10 years of buying into th...

Hard for me to get excited about Skenes. It’s lipstick on a pig. Not even sure who’s to blame for the offense. I guess it all boils down to cherington no matter the issue: drafting, developing, hitting strategy, coaches…all on the GM. But you’d also have to say he’s done pretty well with the pitchin...

Got the message earlier that my daughter made the team, so she'll be thrilled when I tell her later this afternoon.

My son this morning: “Hey Google, how many trees fell down last night?”

Both of my boys are going to try out for the higher travel soccer league. My oldest has a chance but he continually gets passed over by players already in the higher leagues. I’m having him try goalie this time. He’s pretty good at it so hopefully they take him but also let him play in the field You...

Da Fan was saying Skenes’ next start will be in Indy

Yeah my bad. I reworded the first part and didn’t reread it. Meant to say had an All-Star career as a Pirate

Jose Bautista?

Pretty sure the Pirates lost him in the Rule 5
