If the steak still exists on Saturday, double down on KC. And again (and so forth).

Shhhhhh... supposed to be under the radar.
They have done this without three of their best players (Brantley, Kipnis, and Andrew Miller) with Francona employing a constantly shifting lineup (15 players with at least 21 at bats) during the streak.
I'm so happy that Terry Francona got tired of his Boston gig.
Awesome leader.

Off-Topic / American Assassin to become a Movie.
« on: August 24, 2017, 11:21:23 pm »
I just saw, in a facebook posting, that one of author Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp thrillers has been made into a movie and will be in theaters soon.
I have posed the question before about who is the toughest:
Jason Bourne (author Robert Ludlum), Jack Reacher (Lee Child), or Mitch Rapp (Flynn)?
Matt Damon did a decent job playing Bourne. Tom Cruise as Reacher was idiotic IMO. We will see how this Dylan O'Brien does as Mitch Rapp (who could be well played by a very young Sy Stallone).
I wonder how far the movie will diverge from the book in it's plotting.

Snyderman, Snyderman,
Does whatever a Snyder can
Throws em down, any size,
Catches legs just like flies
In world class moments
one mat at a time
he finds opponents
on which to dine
Wealth and fame he's ignored
Winning is his reward

« on: January 28, 2017, 11:18:00 pm »Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heard it all before. No excuses permitted. It was seed protection. Period.Cark was held out to protect his seed. Everyone knows this. It's done all the time.
No, it's done at tOSU all the time, but isn't common practice at schools like Iowa and PSU. Tell me how this would protect Clark's seed? If he wins, he is #1 at Big 10s. If he loses, he is still #2. This wasn't a seed situation. Clark was protecting his shoulder. Could he have went? Of course, but it wasn't worth the risk.

Leftist psychologists are sure to be taking heed! Leftist sociologists agree to put their goal of a gender neutral race in abeyance in favor of the more immediate goal of changing the DNA of Trump voters.

I think Ohio State is the first to be chosen without having won a conference. That despite how poorly Barrett has been throwing the ball.
