      - Which means if I have to wait 5 years for the series to end, that's how I'll watch it. I'm not paying CBS for anything. -- nm - sycor Jul 18, 12:16

Bob Weir played Fenway again last night. He sat in with Paul McCartney for Hi Hi Hi & Helter Skelter -- (link) - Peglegpete Jul 18, 12:00 [youtube]
Watching Dylan Bundy pitch makes me worried. He can throw hard, has a nice curveball, and has good location most of the time. - Inigo Jul 18, 11:46 1
- he just probably has not learned to get enough movement on the pitch yet. - groiny Jul 18, 11:56

Could Kim, Taylor, and Kanye please all board Gilligan's boat for a short tour? Thanks. -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 11:29 24
- IIRC ....Kanye was the knucklehead who jumped on stage and took the mic from Taylor as she was receiving her first major award, "Beyonce deserved it" -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 18, 11:51 1
  - Even Obama called him a jackass. -- nm - TorBaron Jul 18, 12:05
- TMZ said Taylor had a bad week last week - what? I see no bad news -- nm - Epiphany Jul 18, 11:33 21
  - The Kardashians showed a video of Kanye telling her he'd use her in a song. He told her she'd love it, and then he called her a bitch. - David Jul 18, 11:53 11
    - He told her some of what was in there. She also said he had no need to ask her permission but she appreciated it. I have mixed feelings about her. -- (edited) - pmb Jul 18, 12:04 2
      - She's the American equivalent of royalty, which means she answers to nobody. That always leads to shaky character traits. -- nm - David Jul 18, 12:05 1
        
        It's funny, my two daughters are polar opposites on her. One adores her and thinks she can do no wrong and the other thinks she is a complete fake -- (edited) - pmb Jul 18, 12:10
    - The interesting point is he did not tell her he was recording the conversation - a huge no-no in California -- nm - decline Jul 18, 11:55 7
      - I figure if I'm in the room with any of these people I'm being recorded... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 11:56 4
        
        IANAL, but even if you assume it, without explicit consent you are breaking the law -- nm* - decline Jul 18, 11:59 3
        
        I was more comment on these loathsome people and not the state of the law. - Mel Profit Jul 18, 12:04 2
        
        He essentially takes video of all his recording sessions and this was during a session. He chronicles everything. That still doesn't mean he has the - pmb Jul 18, 12:13
        
        Recording like that is kinda loathsome. -- nm - . Jul 18, 12:09
      - yup, he could be in trouble...if he wasn't famous -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 11:56
      - That's what I was wondering about -- nm - prayformojo Jul 18, 11:56
  - She made her ex look bad for not acknowledging that she had co-written one of his songs. But, she had used a pseudonym for the writing credit, so he - pmb Jul 18, 11:40 6
    - oh my. I wonder if all of this - " Look at me, I'm so happy" and PR saturation is just to get Calvin Harris to marry her - Epiphany Jul 18, 11:53 5
      - Or hide a relationship with a woman. - . Jul 18, 12:07 1
        
        agreed. she's very very attached to Kloss -- nm - Epiphany Jul 18, 12:18

Just loaded up PG. Phone vibrates. Four zubats. - ty97 Jul 18, 11:26 17
- I thought Zubats were bad until I ran into the Kadabra today. Holy f-ck that thing was hard to catch -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:30 14
  - I had a Rattata run away earlier. I don't know what's up in the world right now -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 11:32 13
    - The Kadabra's circle was almost red. Very dark orange. Very weird :) -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:32 12
      - I had something yesterday or today with a circle like that. -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 11:33 11
        
        Raspberry, Great ball and I still had to hit him 3 or 4 times -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:35 10
        
        That was me and the CP ??? Golbat that appeared this morning. -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 11:36 9
        
        Golbat, nice -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:38 8
        
        I already had one that I had evolved from a rattata, but this one is higher CP - ty97 Jul 18, 11:41 7
        
        (golbat is evolved from a zubat - rattata evolves to raticate) -- nm - decline Jul 18, 11:56 2
        
        I evolved things, that's all I know! -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 11:57 1
        
        you're so pretty, now go pet your pidgey -- nm - decline Jul 18, 12:00
        
        I save higher CP dupes for if and when I want to leave one at a Gym for team defense. Team Valor for what it's worth seems to be... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 11:47 3
        
        I've been seeing people working the gym system a little bit by putting 10 CP pokemon in it so that their own team can easily beat it and raise the gym - oblique Jul 18, 11:50 2
        
        This answers a question I had when I "attacked" a gym I was fighting my own team. I figured that was possible but thanks for the confirmation. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 11:56 1
        
        yup fight your own to make gym stronger (thus harder for another team to take away and allow for more members in the gym) -- nm - decline Jul 18, 11:57
- What a strange orgy. -- nm - David Jul 18, 11:27 1
  - Especially if you misread his post as "zubaz". -- nm - Jim Jul 18, 11:28

I started Pokemon over from the beginning using the Google sign in. So much better. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 11:12 2
- you guys were using the trainer login? I didn't even consider that when Google was offered originally -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:31 1
  - Yeah. I read Google was asking for ridiculous permissions with the game that the trainer wasn't. - Krusty Jul 18, 11:47
SITWAP - Trump's ghostwriter for The Art of The Deal says: "He's a sociopath who, if elected president, could end civilization" -- (edited) - Andie Jul 18, 11:10
It's no Dratini loss, but my 10km egg hatched - oblique Jul 18, 11:09 16
- Why are you upset? That'll be a badass when it evolves. - Krusty Jul 18, 11:27 13
  - I'm about .7 of a km from a 10km egg. I went out for lunch and was going to walk it off until I found... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 11:36 10

    - I have a Weedle army waiting for my next Lucky Egg use -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:38 8
      - I have a pidgey army waiting for the same thing...though I'm getting damn close to having enough candy to evolve a Pidgeotto... - Jim Jul 18, 11:59
      - I lucky egged from 11 to 14 last night. Now I need to restock my pidgeys and rattats for my next lucky egg. - ty97 Jul 18, 11:39 5
        
        can you tell me more? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 18, 11:55 4
        
        kilbo is the master of this but here's what I learned from him (and what I did) - ty97 Jul 18, 12:08 3
        
        For me, pidgey are the best for this -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 18, 12:10 2
        
        Caterpie are also good (12 candy to evolve) but I don't get all that many of them. -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 12:13 1
        
        I am overflowing with weedles, caterpie, and pidgey. I caught two meowth today. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 18, 12:17
      - different pokemon here but same concept and I'm waiting. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 11:39
  - I already have plenty of Eevee. It was less CP than the one I had caught in the wild. I was hoping for something a bit more rare -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:29 1
    - Got it. I've only seen a couple here so to me they're more rare. Hopefully the next egg is better. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 11:35
- heh -- nm - decline Jul 18, 11:23
- oh, and that Eevee naming thing worked. My Rainer became Vaporeon -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 11:11
Will, on your salary sheet you linked, why is Sabathia only 5 mil next season? - groiny Jul 18, 11:05
If Krusty starts apologizing right now, I might forgive him in a month. -- nm - David Jul 18, 10:57 20
- I kinda like our catcher...He should be around a few more years -- nm - amoxy Jul 18, 11:18
- it happens when you compare one hitter to another hitter without taking position into account. - groiny Jul 18, 11:02 18
  - He's not been the guy I expected. He doesn't hit consistently. He goes off for three days and then nothing for a week. - Krusty Jul 18, 11:06 17
    - Catchers, in general, just aren't worth free agent money. They play 80% of the games, and are lauded when they can hit nearly as well as a 1B or OF. -- (edited) - Inigo Jul 18, 11:12 1
      - Catchers are so important that it's worth paying for them if you're going to get a guy that is both - Krusty Jul 18, 11:23
    - His OPS+ the last two years is 107/111. And he's a solid defender, too. - David Jul 18, 11:08 9
      - And his average is atrocious. He still has power but I'll say it again, he's inconsistent. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 11:09 8
        
        He took time to adjust to the AL, but his OBP is up from .320 last year to .340 this year. Batting average, as usual, misses the point. - David Jul 18, 11:14 7
        
        I watch most games and my feeling is disappointment. His numbers could be fine to some but what I see - Krusty Jul 18, 11:19 6
        
        Okay, now I -might- forgive you in two months. - David Jul 18, 11:21 5
        
        I really hate disappointing you. - Krusty Jul 18, 11:25 4
        
        (I'm playing with you.) - David Jul 18, 11:27 3
        
        I wanted to. I usually love catchers. They're tough guys that tend to be leaders of their team. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 18, 11:33 2
        
        It's harder to do that in your 30s without the HGH. -- nm - David Jul 18, 11:40 1
        
        Ha! True. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 11:49
    - the 2 catchers on my team are hitting about .220 between them with 4 homers. -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 11:07 4
      - At least one is hurt now! -- nm - spamlet Jul 18, 11:10
      - Which is an embarrassment to the game. Major league players shouldn't hit their weight. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 11:09 2
        
        I *wish* Sano would hit his weight. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 18, 11:09 1
        
        Sano is why I'm less than enthusiastic about the Kevin Maitan signing. - David Jul 18, 11:15

  - I can only hope that all the Yankee eggs are in the Bryce Harper basket. - groiny Jul 18, 11:00 10
    - Can't afford? Haha! -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 11:10 7
      - you realize that Bryce Harper is going to be a 300 million dollar man - groiny Jul 18, 11:11 6
        
        35mil a year+ and that'd be fine. These guys are paying ARod and Tex 50mil this year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 11:14 4
        
        I was stunned last night to hear that ARod is somewhat considered a part time player in that he doesn't hit against lefties sometimes? -- nm* - Mel Profit Jul 18, 11:17 3
        
        Put it this way. Last year he refused to even contemplate playing 1B (going as far as "losing" his glove during spring training). Earlier this year he brought -- (edited) - spamlet Jul 18, 11:40 1

        He's been demoted to platoon'ing. He's awful this year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 11:18
        
        Yup and they'll make a lot of money from him playing here. I worry that the kids won't spend like daddy but the last time - Krusty Jul 18, 11:13
