Yeah, it's pretty pathetic. I think Bass was saying that the Braves got to where they did this year based on talent alone, in spite of their manager. I'm feeling pretty much the same way about the Dodgers. Game 2 and Game 5 are definitely on his shoulder. You have Maeda mowing fools down and Roberts, in Game 2, pulls him to let David F!@#$&g Pollock (series performance, 0-13 with 11 Ks...that's got to be a joke, right?) pinch hit. Then, last night, for some reason feels the need to let Kersh be some kind of Superman and come in and save the day and AGAIN pulls Maeda to trot Kelly out there. I mean, Roberts is some special kind of dumb.

For some reason Don and Dave both have had these same type of management issues and both were loyal to Chokeshaw.i still have an issue with the Dodgers letting go of Puig...our bullpen sucks also..

i don't think there's any intel out there that suggests this? no idea if the staff has gone back to test those waters or not.

Nope, just my speculation. Everyone was positive Blackshear wasn't going to Florida too, then he did.

He's the only other RB name outside Hodge I've ever really heard we had any sort of traction with. Most of that has died down though, but until they sign shouldn't count the chickens as they say.

i think we're still trying with Ty Jordan, but that seems pretty hopeless at this point...i don't see him leaving TX. and i don't see Young leaving MO, but if he'd consider it and we're trying to get back in the door, i wouldn't be mad at adding that kind of speed.

saw somewhere earlier this week that there might be some possiblity at looking at Juco or a transfer RB if we can't get in the door with someone on the board already? but have no idea if that's legit or not.

Part of my issue is I buy everything second hand. I see something online and can’t tell it it’s from 2001 or 2017.

I mean, everyone laughs at my low rise jeans when I have my thong hanging out the back, so I’m onto that cue and don’t wear those as much

slides?

was at dinner last night celebrating my 8th wedding anniversary, which in itself is an achievement...as well birth of my third child.

at dinner two very thankful, and tired parents ordered groceries and paid credit card bills whilst sipping cocktails.

then the music started. To Mr Cliche music man, with gold chain & permed orange hair. We appreciate your musical talents & gold chain. Please leave the Jimmy Buffet & Hotel California covers poolside, conveniently with the other Gator alum @Daytona Motor Lodge, thank you.

This class should be about the defensive front 7 more than anything. We've got some upper classmen there and we've got some dead weight as well.

Not sure if Rocker isn't pulling his load or if it's been an area where we didn't have the depth to really purge yet. Either way Grimes, Hardy, & Omari would be HUGE for this class, if we land all 3 of them...and the Whitehaven 3. We'll really have made up some ground in recruiting and have forward momentum in Year 3 under Pruitt.

Winning 5 or 6 of these last 7 could really right the ship honestly. I hope Neyland is packed on Saturday and the team feeds off the energy.

That particular one is 3 years old. Cole Haan is pretty high dollar brand so I really like the price, but wanted to make sure it wasn’t a jacket for a 70 year old man in his corvette

You’ll struggle to find any of those examples. And it isn’t hindsight when I’ve been saying this since before the season and all year long. I literally told everyone this would happen. That’s foresight not hindsight

They won a lot of games, many of them based upon decisions he made. Folty was awful and Freeman was awful. That is not his fault. If Freeman hits and fields like he did most of the year, the Braves win. I do remember you being critical of him, and I don't watch a lot of games, so I am going to drop it. One of my co-workers says that the players really like him and that is also important. I do hope the Braves make it back next year. Go Vols!!
