Wings wasn’t the best sitcom of the ’90s, but here are 10 episodes that show the heights it could hit (fantastic cast) -- (link) - Beaker Apr 16, 06:38 4
- Wings was lot of fun but not quite a Night Court or the other best NBC shows. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 16, 06:46
- I loved Wings. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 16, 06:45 2
  - Me too. Been tempted to watch though this and some other 80s shows that are streaming. - sycor Apr 16, 06:51
  - ~With a little luck, we can help it out. We can make this whole damn thing work out~ -- nm - Bacon Apr 16, 06:51
Philly pizza is apparently pretty good -- (link) - decline Apr 16, 06:34
the strange thing is, I don't remember a single thing happening in the last scene of Midsommar -- nm - prayformojo Apr 16, 06:32 1
- Florence shot Little Women just after finishing up Midsommar. -- nm - spamlet Apr 16, 06:35
#85 on the Monkeys is just mashing the ball the last couple of games. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 06:21 2
- regardless, I am a fan of that team, cause things obs. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 16, 06:35 1
  - Ha! Yesterday's game was really exciting and ended on a walk off HR from a guy that hit his third of the game. - Krusty Apr 16, 06:38
The home run that broke Baseball-Reference (and generated the Tim Welke rule) -- (link*) - spamlet Apr 16, 06:21 9
- :-( Paywall. I was going to subscribe for the MLB season but... -- nm* - Krusty Apr 16, 06:23 8
  - Can you see this? It basically explains what happened. -- (link) - spamlet Apr 16, 06:32 [Image] 7
    - I can and that's a crazy situation. IMO, the pinch runner should have been taken back and Molina allowed to run out the HR. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 06:36 4
      - The Tim Welke rule states that if a substitution is made before an appeal, the substitution stands even if the appeal is granted. - spamlet Apr 16, 06:40 3
        
        Is that a real rule because that's a crappy rule. - Krusty Apr 16, 06:42 2
        
        Or, just appeal the ruling and then act on the outcome. One is simple, the other involves confusion. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 16, 06:45 1
        
        In this specific situation the thought by everyone was it was a single and proceeded as such until they saw the mark on the ball. - Krusty Apr 16, 06:51
    - And here's the Baseball-Reference box score with explanation. -- (link) - spamlet Apr 16, 06:35 1
      - Thanks and I'm glad to see they agree with me. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 06:37

SNL's Michael Che is paying a month's rent for 160 apartments in the building where his late grandmother lived. -- (link) - Krusty Apr 16, 06:16
NFL Over/Under being announced. Pats at 8.5; Bucs at 9 -- (link) - Beaker Apr 16, 06:13 10
- I still say the NFL actually having a "regular season in 2020" is slim to none. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 16, 06:19 9
  - The only chance is if they all play in the same, empty stadium(s) and broadcast on TV. Live audiences aren't happening. -- nm - Inigo Apr 16, 06:25 5
    - Live audiences certainly aren't, but even that isn't happening until there is a vaccine. - JaxSean Apr 16, 06:37 3
      - Agree. If it's not "safe" for spectators, why would it be safe for players and staff? The no spectator idea for team sports is dumb. -- nm - zunkskunk Apr 16, 07:06 2
        
        I can see it for golf, but any "team" sport, I am skeptical. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 16, 07:08 1
        
        Tennis might be able to come back earlier than others as well -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 07:10
    - this is my thought as well -- nm - decline Apr 16, 06:26

Oh, man. All those small businesses going for the forgivable loans are going to get crushed at tax time. -- (edited) - spamlet Apr 16, 06:01 5
- uh, is there a list of states the do automatically conform to Federal law? -- nm* - decline Apr 16, 06:04 4
  - You should be okay. PA conforms unless they specifically decouple. - spamlet Apr 16, 06:10 3
    - my business is in NJ -- (edited) - decline Apr 16, 06:10 2

- Oh mara, I'm so sorry. -- nm - kelly Apr 16, 06:40
- Thanks, all. -- nm - mara Apr 16, 06:32
- very sorry to hear this, mara -- nm - prayformojo Apr 16, 06:10
- Aww, this is always so awful. I'm sorry for y'all and Zoey. -- nm - ty97 Apr 16, 06:09
- Zoey is a stellar name. -- nm - Qale Apr 16, 06:07
- :-( I'm so very sorry. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 06:06
- ahhh, very sorry -- nm - Beaker Apr 16, 06:01

  - or not. -- nm - znufrii, stimulated Apr 16, 06:58
- Virgin Islands: still A-OK -- (link) - decline Apr 16, 05:59 3
  - I'm rather surprised we're so much lower than other states. I guess a lot of people here have jobs that can be done from home. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 06:08 1
    - or could just be having as much trouble as you've had in filing -- nm - decline Apr 16, 06:09
  - Never a lack of demand. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 16, 06:05
- Meaning about 14% of the workforce have lost their jobs over the last month, if I’m doing the math correctly. - znufrii Apr 16, 05:41 3
  - But hey, if they beat the 20%-30% estimate, they'll be saviors! #trump2020 -- nm - JaxSean Apr 16, 06:10 1
    - Well, we’re not done yet... -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 06:22
  - damn your math -- nm - decline Apr 16, 05:50
- Hit 5.25% here this week. That’s a significant uptick. -- nm - mafic Apr 16, 05:36

Today's Chinese Baseball League game is between the UniLions and the Rakuten Monkeys -- (link) - Krusty Apr 16, 05:33 13
- Baseball related: I started up the Road to the Show mode on MLB 19 The Show last night. Pretty cool so far. - Shaun Apr 16, 05:45 5
  - That's interesting. I've never seen that in a game before. Do you also have the option to play it normally where you're always in control? - Krusty Apr 16, 05:58 4
    - I'm not entirely sure. I would have zero interest in playing a full game in this mode. -- nm - Shaun Apr 16, 06:16 3
      - I guess it would be boring if you were controlling a guy in the OF that was just standing around. - Krusty Apr 16, 06:18 2
        
        That's why it's awesome that you only play your appearances on defence. -- nm - Shaun Apr 16, 06:38 1
        
        I'm definitely interested in checking it out at some point. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 06:40

- Cute guys in baseball uniforms... yeah, that looks like baseball to me. -- nm - Qale Apr 16, 05:35 1
  - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 05:35

Whoa, Maisel is married to *him*? Opposite ends of the spectrum in acting talent... -- nm - Inigo Apr 16, 05:18 11
- Like Rebecca Pidgeon being married to David Mamet. You have to be a decent actor to pull off that dialogue, and Rebecca is just... nah. -- nm - mara Apr 16, 05:53 1
  - Though weirdly Mamet has a "just say the words" take on acting. -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 07:03
- I like him. *shrug* - Dark Callisto Apr 16, 05:51
- Wow. I kinda gave up early on his show but he was easily the worst part of it. - Will Hunting Apr 16, 05:32 5
  - Gave up on Maisel?!? *smh* It's one of the funniest shows with a wonderful cast. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 05:35 4
    - His show - The Magicians. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 16, 06:33 3
      - Ahhh. Honestly, I thought it said this show and not his show. My bad. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 06:53
      - It's an amazing show. Best comparison is probably Buffy/Angel. - Dark Callisto Apr 16, 06:45 1
        
        Exactly. All these people hating on Jason Ralph can shut their whore mouths! nm - ralph wiggum Apr 16, 07:09
- a hahaha the logline for the thing I posted on B2 -- (link) - Reagen Apr 16, 05:21 1
  - I mean at the same time my grandmother literally smoked until it killed her. Don’t think she wanted to be buried with her cigarettes at least. - mafic Apr 16, 05:32
Game stuff: The #StayAtHome games on the PS Store are live and free now. Crysis is getting a remaster for all current gen consoles. -- nm - Shaun Apr 16, 05:11 1
