.076?? 99% of Hammer’s Lot is at .076 by 8:30am!

I’ve actually spent time thinking about this one and I’ve landed on: “a hot dog is a taco.”

I’ll give a proper response to this tomorrow, because this conversation infuriates me and I want to have a nice Sunday. 😂

I think Pedro turned out to be a really good Met. I remember within days of him signing with NY, he publicly tried to lure Varitek to join him. Piazza was still our catcher, so that rubbed me to e wrong way (plus, I was never a Varitek fan, although him grabbing Alex Rodriguez by the throat is one of my favorite baseball memories of all time).

They're trying to keep the paper alive.

Unbelievable. Wow.

This is one thing about which I've recently become far more cognizant. Although, I did give someone the finger yesterday because he was riding my ass as I slowed to take a turn, then he laid on his horn. So he deserved it. But it's something I try not to do. I've had a couple scary situations, one of which resulted in someone following me to a gas station (I eventually lost him). A road rage incident led to someone getting shot in our local Walmart parking lot late last year. That's scary. I need to be more diligent in refraining from the hand gestures.

Back in 1983, my brother wrestled Jason Morris in a dual meet vs. Burnt Hills in Queensbury. Burnt Hills had another, even better, wrestler on the team named Jon Cardi. Cardi had my brother's number, so the QBY coach moved my brother up a weight class (maybe two) to avoid Cardi and face Morris instead. Cardi's mother actually called my brother the night before the match and warned him that Morris "knew karate," and told him to be careful. Hilarious in hindsight. My brother beat him, but Morris went on to win two state championships over the next two years. Great wrestler.

I dealt with this daily for years. My vote is that it depends on my mood, but I would say that 90% of the time, I did whatever it took to keep them from merging. Connecticut and New Jersey license plates ... they had no chance at all of me letting them in.

Our local paper began printing about an hour south about six or seven years ago. Pretty seamless for the most part, but if something happens to the presses, it necessitates someone locally to have to drive down to get whatever papers were printed prior to the press going down; bring them back up here; then (hopefully) go back down to pick up the rest of the papers after the press is fixed. Not great and it does impact home deliveries.

I’m a fan of moving the chains.

I was always a Franco fan. I don't recall clubhouse politics during his tenure, but I don't doubt it one bit. Leiter never bugged me, either, but I can definitely see how his personality can rub people the wrong way. When I think of Mets I didn't care for, the two names that immediately come to mind are Tom Glavine and Carlos Beltran. One more recent player would be Syndergaard. I think he really became a loudmouth as.shole during his last couple seasons.

As a matter of fact ...

Getting Hines on the field with the offense would be a nice first step. The way Beane pursued a pass-catching RB, and the subsequent underutilization in that role, indicates a huge disconnect between Dorsey/McDermott/Beane.

Witten's piece was one of the worst, ever.

Which is the other way women pee. It's okay, man. I don't judge.

Well, "get off the pot," would mean one is ON the pot ... hence, sitting.

When I was a boy My big brother held on to my hands Then he made me slap my own face I looked up to him then, and still do He was trying to teach me something

So you sit when you pee?

I thought it was sh*t or get off the pot. That's how I have always said it.

If there was an option to trade down/out of the first round for more picks on day 2, that would be my vote. I doubt I'd be the only one.

I can think of a few places on my body that I'd want you freaks on far less than my hands!

To this day, the funniest thing I've ever read in the Shoutbox was during the Bills/Cowboys Thanksgiving game. When Josh muscled his way to a first down up the middle (likely still my favorite play of his), @aristocrat (I think ... if I'm wrong, tell me and I'll edit) said, "I'd let Josh Allen give me AIDS." Over two years later and it still makes me laugh out loud.
