    I've been saying this since the beginning of time. His policies are one thing, but what I am most vocal about is that he is a vile human being and has no care for anyone or anything but himself.

    What the ... I'm guessing that article was written and published earlier (I actually think I read this earlier) and it was a mistake that it got published again recently. But who knows ...
  3. Squirrel
    We were both wrong ... Steve Pearce would have been my next choice.
  4. Squirrel
    Is my guess, too ... but we’ll see soon.
  5. Squirrel
    Who will win the mvp?

    I voted today. Yes, on a Sunday. At the super polling place. Although my ward early voting polling place is also open, this one is more convenient. No lines, no waiting. In the loop. So convenient. Anyone can vote there.

    If I were those two I’d be looking for a new agent.
  8. Squirrel
    Pfft.

    Since his career was cut short, way short, there was no way to know when the latter part of his career was. His career ended, rather abruptly, at a young age (relatively speaking) and he's been working in some capacity ever since. He said he knows some Spanish, but isn't fluent. I'll take that as a good start. Also, as Pseudo mentioned, languages are not easy for everyone to just learn ... I had years of French, some German and some Italian ... no fluency whatsoever, not even broken conversational abilities, despite living for 2 1/2 years in a French speaking country. And I had the same SAT score! Not to mention to various Spanish-speaking countries players come from. There are likely different dialects and idioms to learn that are specific to certain countries, even areas of certain countries. While I had hoped for someone with a level of fluency, I don't fault him for this lack and I'll give him time to build on the some that he already knows. Or see who he hires to 'help' in that area of 'weakness.'
  10. Squirrel
    One of which areas? A weakness or a strength?
  11. Squirrel
    And Chief. Who’s still waiting ...

    I don't know much about his illness or what treatments he has to do (if any) to keep it at bay. However, the physicality between being a manager and a player are not at all comparable. And it is probably that difference that makes his disease manageable in this role vs the physical rigors of a playing role. But ... as much as you ... I don't know; given his history, I'm sure it was addressed in the process to hire him.
  13. Squirrel
    And Chief is still waiting for his pizza ...
  14. Squirrel
    Concur.
  15. Squirrel
    Heh ... love it!
  16. Squirrel
    Um, can't say I agree. I am MORE likely to buy tickets because they fired Molitor and hired Baldelli. I was disappointed that they gave Molitor a 3-yr contract last Fall. This is the kind of move they should have made earlier.
  17. Squirrel
    I knew that place well ... you a Winonan?

    The acting is good. I like the aspect of telling the story back in time and telling the story in the present, it's 2 for 1, but also necessary to show what was to show what is. The present-day family drama is very well acted and I was very drawn in ... it felt like I was watching live theatre in some ways ... even on my little iPad because I can't figure out how to get my internet to work on my television. I also liked how the first 5 episodes were kind of spent on each child/adult couterpart and their story, kind of. There were things at the very end ... which pointed out some clues that I missed, that everyone missed, will miss, throughout the episodes. I don't know how they'll have more seasons, though, as I think these 10 episodes truly completed the story, for all of them. And yeah ... the casting was amazing ... even Henry Thomas/Timothy Hutton worked.
  19. Squirrel
    Okay ... the off-season gets off to a good start, imo.
  20. Squirrel
    Okay, finished ... glad I powered through all the scary stuff to get to the end.
  21. Squirrel
    Everyone grades prospects differently, even who is and isn't a prospect. Sickels is not TD and TD is not Sickels.
  22. Squirrel
    I've edited the topic heading because, yeah ... there's a world of difference between resigned and re-signed ... and it does make it a wee bit of an iota confusing until you start reading the first post, then you understand.
  23. Squirrel
    Why no coffee? Isn't water boiled for that?
  24. Squirrel
    Central time I think it's 10pm? I bought 2 of each ... my standard when it gets to the 100s of millions mark ... and I remember to do so. Usually it's worth a few bucks for the imagination.
  25. Squirrel
    I was going to not post for a week and have you all wondering ... I think I saw a movie version of this years ago. This is the kind of scary, horror stuff I like even though it scares me. Slasher films, however, I do NOT like and won't watch. No Freddie Kruger or Mike Myers or the like for me.
