Braves get Chris Sale from Boston for Vaughn Grissom. -- (link) - Tim Dec 30, 11:10 6
- I didn't even realize he played this year and was pretty sure he hadn't played in like two years due to injuries. - Krusty Dec 30, 11:19
- Rats. -- nm - David Dec 30, 11:10 4
  - Listen, Grissom's 22 and has only shown himself to be a league-average hitter of his first 2 years. For the Braves, he's terrible and should be sent - Will Hunting Dec 30, 11:42 3
    - Good lord, no. He finished top ten in the minors in OBP this season with a .419. -- nm - David Dec 30, 11:47 2
      - I'm sorry -- did the sarcasm not come through. - Will Hunting Dec 30, 11:53 1
        
        Oh, I'm sorry. I'm pretty notorious on the Braves forums for my love of Grissom. He's like a mini-Youk for me. - David Dec 30, 11:58

I was watching a video about worst ways teams have lost and after seeing the Buckner error I'm not sure if he makes the play he gets to the bag - Krusty Dec 30, 10:43 6
- There was no reason for Buckner to be in the game at that time. Manager McNamara knew he was hurt but for some reason did not put in a defensive - King of Oklahoma Dec 30, 11:39 2
  - He had him in since he had been so vital through the years, he deserved to be there for the title. - Will Hunting Dec 30, 11:40 1
    - We agree it's not on Buckner. Checked and it was only his 3rd year with the BoSox. He had played for the Dodgers longer and Cubs longer. - King of Oklahoma Dec 30, 11:48
- This would be excellent offseason r/baseball content. -- nm - Reagen Dec 30, 10:47
- the problem with booting it (even if Wilson had been safe) is Ray Knight only gets to third -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 30, 10:46 1
  - That's why I said do the Mets have another hit in them to get him home from 3rd. I don't know but we know momentum had swung their way and that leads - Krusty Dec 30, 10:51
Saturday crossword: That was cooooool. Really liked the construction. And surprisingly fast solve. 119" 8' for the week -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Dec 30, 10:42
Texas Starting QB Quinn Ewers looks over at the media crowded around Texas QB Arch Manning for Sugar Bowl Media Day -- (link) - budice Dec 30, 10:20 2

The Raptors are finalizing a trade to send OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa to the Knicks for RJ Barrett, Detroits 2nd rounder and Immanuel Quickley -- (link*) - Beaker 🍻 Dec 30, 10:11 8
- NBA 2K24 rejects this deal from the Knicks' side but *happily* accepts for the Raptors. - David Dec 30, 10:33
- Detroits second rounder is essentially a 1st. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Dec 30, 10:23 6
  - seeing at worst a win-win trade for both teams to Raptors fleeced the Knicks...so good job Toronto! -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 30, 10:30 5
    - Not a fleecing at all. The Knicks weren't going to pay RJ or IQ what they're going to ask for in FA so they had to move them and got a guy - Krusty Dec 30, 10:50 4
      - I much prefer what Toronto got, and that's presuming OG doesn't leave as a free agent. -- nm - David Dec 30, 10:56 2
        
        I think they got the better of the deal but it wasn't a bad deal for the Knicks who weren't going to pay those guys and would have had them walk - Krusty Dec 30, 11:01 1
        
        Quickley meshes well with Scottie Barnes, who is the franchise now. -- (link) - David Dec 30, 11:07
      - If they don't re-sign OG, then they've been fleeced and it will not be good in Knicksland. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 30, 10:53

question, if I have an international connecting flight in JFK with a 50 min layover, is that too little for a layover - tRuMaN Dec 30, 08:36 1

Allegations coming out about Chris Jericho today... - Remlik Dec 30, 07:58 3
- We're really stretching the definition of allegations here. - David Dec 30, 10:03 1
  - It's trending...I agree with you on all points. Going to be interesting to see what happens tonight. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 11:14

“democracy” is 400k Americans deciding the fate of the other 331m of us every four years, just as the Founding Fathers intended -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 30, 07:47 3
- Really wish we'd have uncapped house of representatives. You could still gerrymander, but the representation is at least fair by the numbers. -- nm - colin Dec 30, 07:49 2
  - I agree, the number should be like 3000 by now. You'd have a lot of Boeberts, though. -- nm - Reagen Dec 30, 09:56 1
    - wheee .. ! -- nm - mud Dec 30, 10:17
sounds like another job for the three ghosts -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 30, 06:35 4
- Idiots are playing politics while kids go hungry. It's basically free money but they can't take it because of politics. Poor kids. :-( -- nm - Krusty Dec 30, 06:53 3
  - This is why the free fridges and free stores flourish - there is nothing controversial about feeding people, unless you're a monster. - colin Dec 30, 07:57
  - are the prisons closed? are the meatpacking plants in Nebraska idle?? -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 30, 07:44 1

Is the acting in Saltburn actually compelling enough that someone who really doesn't want to see The Talented Mr. Ripley again should anyway? - Max Dec 29, 23:27 1
- I liked it but I wouldn’t say it’s a must see. Especially if you’re thinking it’s something that you’re not inclined to like. -- nm - Dano Dec 30, 06:04
I don't think I've ever heard weather forcasts that warn of "the possibility of drowning" but that's what we're getting during these high tides. -- nm - Meg Dec 29, 23:21

Firefox Mobile is really excellent. Great privacy, runs extensions, nice syncing. Highly recommend. -- nm - colin Dec 29, 21:38 5
- Firefox Mobile has extensions? Ad blockers? -- nm - Mop🧹 Dec 29, 22:14 3
  - Hmm, yeah. So Safari and Firefox now have extensions on mobile. Your move, Chrome. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Dec 29, 22:19 1

bowl games sorta become even more meaningless if your star players can just opt out or transfer after the regular season is over -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 29, 20:23 5
- Bowl games are meaningless in any case, not sure the appeal. Without a real playoff system, they're exhibition games. - colin Dec 29, 21:23 1
  - It's money for the schools who play, but none of that goes to the athletes so, yeah, why..? I don't question the value of a bowl game... - Mop🧹 Dec 29, 22:42
- Yeah, I don't get that. -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 20:24 2
  - Thats partially the NCAA's fault for having the portal transfer window during bowl season and not after - eag Dec 29, 20:48 1

- It's less about accountability and more excessive personal information being available for breaches. - colin Dec 29, 21:25 2
  - It’s about control -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 aka lady on the plane Dec 30, 01:46
  - I just recently stopped using my favorite survey site when they wanted a copy of my driver's licence for identification. -- nm - Meg Dec 29, 22:44
- Pornhub is like a drop in the pornography bucket on the internet. It's not feasible to do this the way they're attempting. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 20:19 2
  - Agreed. But still just absurd at how this stuff is happening in this day and age. - sycor Dec 29, 20:23 1
