On my way back a man in the train asked me if I’m sick or immunocompromised because of my mask.
I don’t normally tell strangers the reason(s) I mask & I also like to choose the “safest” options for answering.
This time: “I don’t like to get sick when I travel”
He answered 1/2
Jon Stewart: "What are you in late night, No. 1?"
Stephen Colbert "I think we are, yeah. I don't know anymore. Doesn't really matter."
Stewart: "I just think it's so smart what CBS is doing. It's such a good move. To take this show off the air, and then to also ruin your Evening News, and then reduce 60 Minutes to like six good ones. I think it's so smart."
Stewart: "Here's what I believe they're doing: I think they're tanking for a draft pick."
San Diego, you’re not going to want to miss this giveaway 🫶
We are giving away a new Padres City Connect jersey just for you! Repost and reply for your chance to win!
Still rooting for Team USA but damn… these games have been boring as hell to watch.
Save me the “this is the American way to play the game” speech. As a former big leaguer you hear all the time at nauseam… we play a kid’s game.
Well damn… act like it. Have some fun. Celebrate these moments. The DR, Venezuela, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico… those boys are playing with real juice and you can feel it through the TV.
Right now Team USA look dry as hell. I’m talking like somebody just ate a whole pack of saltine crackers in the desert with no water in sight.
Still rocking with the boys… but somebody please bring that Adam Jones 2017 energy. 🇺🇸⚾️
@TheMaineWonk Don't forget adding these things to the list.
Grenada
Challenger explosion
Exxon Valdez
Rodney King
Space Shuttle Columbia disaster
Hurricane Katrina
@padrespod It might be more around concerns about the pitching beyond Pivetta. Remember King and Musgrove are coming off of injuries, a no clear 5th starter, no Suarez and Adam coming off injury.
@stanverrett Be realistic. We all know the real reason behind excluding G5 schools is all about greed and ratings, not about competition.
Not too much better than how it was before the BCS.
@CollegeFBonX E: Use the FCS Model (24 team - all conf champs qual, rest at large via records and comparative metrics). Have all conference games end on Thanksgiving week, Conf Champ game week after. Semifinals on New Years Day. Championship game 2 weeks later.
@OleTimeHardball In his lone AB vs Mariano Rivera during the 98 World Series, he got a hit with one out and a runner on 2nd. This was near the end of his career.
In the scenario presented and in his prime, take the guy that even Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson didn't like facing.
@geoffschwartz I think the suggestion would be this for the optimal scheduling of games.
Tulane v Ole Miss - Noon ET
JMU v Oregon - 330pm ET
Miami v Texas A&M - 630pm ET
