    i can't believe the Mets are pulling this shit with Harvey after it blew up on the Nats and Strasburg. Collins was pissed last night at having to take him out. it's just stupid and I can't believe these teams bow down to the wishes of Scott Boras.

    I thought it came from Dr. James Andrews?

    everything I've read about it says that Boras told the Mets that Andrews said him to limit his inning but that Andrews has never publicly stated that to be true. who know what is true but it sure seems like Boras is most likely behind it.

    I like bringing back Mackanin for next year.
    No doctor, especially Andrews is going to put an innings limit on a baseball player, especially since there is no exact science behind it.

    Just rode my bike down a completely closed parkway. Have never seen anything like it. They are building stuff up everywhere. From the art museum back to city hall. They are expecting a lot of people. Have never seen so many port a potties. Tents and food vendors being built he entire length too. It's insane. Like made in America times 472857

    A line of a dozen tow trucks on 4th towing every parked car.

    Bizarre riding your bike around a completely empty Eakins oval and parkway

    The wife of a friend at work won a raffle at her church to attend the Pope's early mass on Sunday before the big one on the parkway. Pretty cool--only 600 people are attending that one.

    POPE!

    Yeah it's at the Basilica

    Back is better and I'm getting back out there on Saturday Cliff. You ever play Center Square? It's a hike for you, I guess...but for a public course it's really nice. Weather looks delicious on Saturday too. Can't wait.

    Half-ass "working from home" tomorrow till noon....downashore.

    Definitely getting out for a bike ride tonight, though. I can't pass up going down these empty streets.

    Nice. I have not played it. Looks like a hike but I don't mind it for a good course. Will have to check it out. i'd like to get out this weekend, but with the wife getting back from a week Germany tomorrow and the pope and all, not terribly hopefuly

    Haha....if I had to guess I'd say it will be way less than what they are anticipating. My wife easily could've gone to work yesterday

    Yeah, it seems like a lot of people were scared off. That said, People are starting to get to independence hall it looks like and that isn't for over 8 hours

    One of the coolest days of my life, and I have had some fucking fun. Made it on msnbc and got a glimpse of the pope. Interacted with people from all over the world. Assume no one gives a shit but I'll post pictures eventually

    I am not a catholic, married a catholic in the church and I love this man.
