    True. Still not getting there, and if anything makes it that much more dumb and reckless. I know you're very much into the Darwin Awards for all this, though, which....you're not wrong to some extent.
    To some extent... ;)

    Just go and convince one procrastinator to get their shot. A lot of people aren't hesitant or whatever, just lazy.

    The only thing not being lifted is the mask mandate, all other restrictions are being lifted memorial day

    Edit: Also, sounds like Philly isn't reopening.

    I guarantee you some political pressure from somewhere will change Kenney's tune. They did this before, and then like a week later changed course.

    Milwaukee’s uniforms look like something from a little league team or something

    Can you imagine the uproar if Kapler made this mistake?

    Some dude around here whined about the Ryan Howard contract endlessly; the Pujols deal was exponentially worse and his decline can't be linked to any dramatic injuries as far as I know. Complete and utter disaster for the Angels who have totally squandered Mike Trout and won zero playoff games during the Pujols contract.

    Yeah, they definitely did not get their money's worth. Solid, shrewd move by St. Louis, albeit I'm sure he would've played better in STL. LAA was paying/gambling at least on getting past A-Rod and Ruth with the homer record with an Angels uniform on, other than that they paid for past performance.

    Wheeler has been here for over a year, and I think I'm just now getting over the fact that he was a Met and that he is pretty amazing to watch when he's on.

    In fantasy, my opponent has Means from the Orioles and his no-hitter got him 59 points. But I have Wheeler and his complete game shutout got me 47 points. He's been great so far this year.

    Only +8 points for a no hitter?  That is rough.  CGSO is rare, but no hitter would be a bigger bonus, you would think.

    My leagues are all H2H and categories.  No listings for No Hitters so CGSOs.  In one of my leagues we do have CG but it is something that most frequently goes 0-0 with neither team finishing with a CG for the week.

    Craziest thing about Means no-no, if not for a passed ball on a strike out he would have had a perfect game.
  • Johnny AbruzzoJohnny Abruzzo Philly Posts: 10,315
    You should never lose your fantasy game if your pitcher throws a no hitter. It should be like a million bonus points.

    Harper-less 4 game sweep over a winning team that can whack - with a shutout to close it out - SWEET(P)!

    Actually it’s only 5 for a no-hitter. And only 5 more for a perfect game. I agree it should be more, but I’m thankful it’s not in this circumstance lol

    So it's May 7th and only 3 other NL teams have more wins than your Phightn's, eh?

    Eflin and Nola going this weekend. Maybe take 2 out of 3 and then I think some people might put a little more stock in this team. Let's go!

    Yeah, not much chatter about that episode. Far from heroic actions. I do like the police chief guy.

    I don’t know what the hell happened tonight, but yo Mare is a good show.
    Haha, that's why I said this. I saw the episode, but there's quite a lot going on!

    I think the biggest problem I now have with this show is the Delco connection lol. Because, like I said before, I get caught up looking for authenticity in dumb stuff that I forget that this is a good show with what I'm sure is a wild story. What I'm saying is somebody's gotta give me a show just about dumb, daily Delco life, haha....

    I'd say watching the 3rd episode I wasn't even thinking about landmarks and the fact that Phoenixville is actually in Montgomery County and the upper class township of Easttown is in Chester County and why didn't they go get gas at Wawa - I was just wrapped up in the story. Which is a good indicator of how good the story is!  "Yo Mare" would've been a better title.

    I like the girl at the Haverford College radio station - hoping we actually get to see The Met in the show. Only problem with The Met is walking up those stairs you need 10 minutes to recover before the show starts. And I run up & down hills in Havertown all the time! Damn I can't wait for concerts.

    My brother doesn't like the show because it doesn't feel like the delco we grew up in. Ha. 

    I liked this week's episode the least. Still good. But my only beef is with how they completely glossed over how Mare managed to plant the drugs on her grandkid's mom. She obviously had another cop in on it, right? Why not show how that came about? The timing of all that seemed to work out too perfectly for my liking. Also, I think Mare is too smart to know she wouldn't have gotten away with it. 

    The Zabel character is really likeable. Good episode for that shifty dude.

    Apparently after she left the bar and was intoxicated in a state to make stupid decisions and desperate not to lose Drew - I think that's the complexity of the character - so intelligent but also so severely flawed.

    Agreed on Zabel. I think he has the best accent of them all, actually.

    The priest they have pegged - along with giving up some details in the preview for next week's episode - isn't the guy right? It's a red herring right, just way too obvious? Gonna guess the cousin/head priest dude is more connected to something here.

    Also, my gut guess that I said to my wife is that Erin's husband has something to do with it.

    Also, agree with your brother, Juggs - but I think the showrunner is doing that on purpose so that the show is more palatable to non-Delconians. Plus, the showrunner is from Berwyn, so I'd say his vision of Delco is vastly different. But I'd also buy that "Delco" is a way of saying Anytown-Just-Outside-of-Philadelphia.

    Agree on the cousin-priesr guy.
    I thought the priest was an obvious guy right off (being raised as a Catholic! Lol) but yes, too early to have him be the guy unless it is gonna get really wierd.
    Zabel hammered was good, made me laugh
    Also, Jean Smart is so reliable.  Love her crazy mom character.

    Daughter knows way more than she is letting on, I think she is going to be key

    Also, my wife said "someone else does that stupid shit!" when the crack was made about her ex pissing in the closet or drawer or wherever when he was carried back from the bar. 
    Over the 20+ years we have been together there may have been a number of times where I may have stumbled around/pissed in phantom toilets.  :lol:.

    Yeah I agree that something is up with the daughter. It seems odd that she doesn't seem to care much about this case with her being the last person to see her alive. She's really the one character I do not like very much also.

    You just gave me flashbacks to college and pissing in my closet, while blacked out, on numerous occasions. The college girlfriend was not pleased each time (somehow she was always there when it happened). The beginning of the "do you even remember what you did last night" conversations was always the worst since I always had no recollection. Lol.  Kudo's to your wife for sticking around!

    Dave, I'm not sure if we can see this game tonight, as well. I am seeing that it is on something called "Cozi?" Not sure what the hell that is and I do not believe youtube tv has it....
