My hot take - Gabe got a raw deal, and Girardi is just fine. As Gabe would've been.
Sounds about right. I don't think that's too hot. Giants look pretty good.
Yeah it's not too hot, but I don't really give any manager the overwhelming credit for the overall success of a team. I mean the move was made to seemingly appease meathead Harper, which is fine. But I don't have this animosity for Kapler, I hope he does well. I wouldn't get in a fistfight with someone at a ballgame, but a couple years ago when he had Hoskins leading off I didn't have a huge issue with it and had to tell the idiot in front of me that wouldn't shut up about it to pound sand.
It's kinda like when people would bitch about Charlie, which I never got. Of all people I agreed with Ike Reese's logic on that back in the day. You can't give Charlies all the credit for losses and none of the credit for the wins, doesn't work that way. We'll ignore that Ike doesn't believe dinosaurs existed.

Yeah I agree. I just know a lot of people who despised Kapler and ripped him over every single mistake he made, even the minor ones. Yet they say nothing about these mistakes Joe makes pretty regularly.
One buddy literally posted on facebook that Gabe should be fired after he took Nola out early in his FIRST game a few years ago.
Ike doesn't believe dinosaurs existed, huh? That sounds about right, too. lol
I distinctly remember this on the radio. Actually thinks human were around with them. And we wonder how we ever got to the point of an insurrection lol:

A total tool who sunbathed his nutsack to give himself the power of the sun, like his balls made him Superman.
Didn't watch him closely as a manager so I cannot comment on that part but as a person he is a fucking whacko.

At least his apples were no longer raw, but sun baked.
Hell yeah - could do without KOL, or at least swapping with MMJ. On my birthday weekend, too, damnit. But, yeah, I think shows are happening now. We're ramping up to warp speed.
So I look forward to a shore house in B-E-L-M-A-R bel-MAR bel-MAr and the fest in Asbury Park. Getting pumped now.

Bummed because my CEO has a place w/in walking distance that I stay at when I am out there and I could crash for free & walk to-from the shows....but I am not concert-ing until the rest of my life is at full speed and as "post-covid" as I can get, and I just don't see that being the case by September. Hope to hell that I am wrong & could always scramble and over-pay at that point to go out and hit it up.

Are you vaccinated? If so, I don't see any reason to not go. Going to a concert you would normally go to would be a step in getting your life back to full-speed. I guess it's something to think about. Here's how I envision you thinking it over....
Pretty sure his wife is immunocompromised but I don't want to speak for others. Also, I would think a return to "normalcy" will be determinate to each individual person. I think a lot of people overlook that spending the better part of over a year in a stasis that none of us are used to, and being in some form of a lockdown, lends itself to trauma.

Fully vaccinated but I have a health concern with someone in my home.
*edit -- I have not have a smoke in almost 2 years. I wish I could have one and think about this, like MC!

Yes, it is my wife that is my concern. I've not had a sick day in the nearly 16 years I've been at my current job, no fear throughout of myself really being harmed by COVID. Her situation has her still unvaccinated and we are not sure how we are going to navigate yet.
(I want her to get vax anyway, she is waiting/studying/staying hunkered down for the time being.)
It is her body, not my place to have much of a say at all....so we are at the "For Better of Worse" fine print section of wedding vows.
Hell, finally going to see my mom in VT (fully vax'd) in June and I am quarantining when I return before re-joining my household.
Fucking virus. I'd rather be going to a concert, for sure!

I think there is a lot to this. I very much agree with this article.
But I know it will be a lot easier for some over others. My sister has had some mental health issues (nothing crazy, but general feeling of isolation and depression) and is now pregnant so at higher risk and can't be as out and about as she'd like to be even though she's fully vaccinated. My wife is very much looking forward to things like concerts and all, but also kinda enjoys not being committed to things the way we once were.
Yes, incredible lineup for that thing and no please don't pass judgement on what others are comfortable with doing. Yes, it has been traumatic and people will react to that in different ways. And how the hell can I figure out how to get to that thing?!?

Absolutely. The wife has been incredibly hesitant to get back into everyday life. The problem for me, to me, has been I think - whether people want to believe it or not - it is most likely going to be the most traumatizing experience - the one "thing" - that defines most people alive now. Much like the Flu of 1918, WW1, WW2, etc. It's also why family has been absolutely the worst to deal with, when it comes to family/friends dynamic. Friends respect your decisions, family much more the opposite - can't respect boundaries, others' expectations, etc. I think I can also go out on a limb and assume a lot of people who are easy/quick to get back to "normal" are also the same people that may have never taken this all too seriously to begin with.
Alls I know is if this virus had "ISIS" tattoed on it and had a physical "bad guy" to blame we wouldn't have all the nonsense going along with it. People would then, magically, take it a lot more seriously.
Congrats to your sister, btw!
I never want to go back to a life of bullshit obligations. The holidays were a DREAM.
BUT, I'll say, I'm also the first person DYING to go back into the office, haha.

Not at all - just confident in the science of vaccinations.

Broad brush on my part, I know that.
Things I know for sure: 1) I will not die 2) I will not get severely ill 3) transmission rates are incredibly low 4) no reason not to take precaution when being around older people 5) if we don't get enough people vaxed this thing could mutate into something where the vax is ineffective 6) I'm never not wearing a mask in a grocery store/large indoor gathering in winter.

I'm considering wearing a mask on SEPTA permanently - no use catching a cold from a dirty el car. A concert on the other hand - I can deal with a couple days of sniffles for the good times & memories. Not sure about grocery stores. It sure has been nice to not get sick the past year.

I think there’s some socialist program in Canada that puts its stoners to work at state-sponsored potato chip factories.
Whatever it is it's definitely greased lightning right through me.
Then DeNiro beats up a guy moving like a 98 year old...
Turrible
Girardi makes quite a few bone headed decisions. I guess I just wasn't paying close enough attention last year.
Cliff, that looks tasty.
