Happiness is a warm gun.

“Let me tell you what ‘Like a Virgin’ is about. It’s all about a girl who digs a guy with a big d*ck. The entire song is a metaphor for big d*cks.”

Based on what he did (didn't) do this spring, I am also glad that he got sent down. But as far as I can gather, he made great improvements on his defense (his weakness last year), but couldn't hit (his strength last year). I think he'll get it together in AAA and be a contributor this season. It's such a "Metsy" thing to do, to continue playing players at a position other than their natural position. It's plagued the team spanning multiple GMs, coaches and owners, so I don't know what the hell is going on. I'd really prefer to see Baty at 3rd and not in the outfield. If they need his bat and Escobar is doing well at 3B, then fine ... I get it. But man ... it would be nice to finally replace David Wright and Mike Piazza with long term solutions, wouldn't it?!?

Signing Ruf was a mistake. Retaining his "services," was an even bigger mistake. They finally got it right by letting him go. Young guns all sent back down. I'm okay with it, albeit a little disappointed - especially with Alvarez. VERY cool news about Murph!!! Lastly, I TOTALLY agree that March baseball is pure crap; as is November baseball. LET'S F*CKING GO METS!!!

Yeah, those two guys wearing shorts really suck.

My son is a very good guitarist and he is a metal head. When he began delving into the floating tremolos, he got an ESP (Kirk Hammett model). He had a lot of trouble keeping it in tune. After taking it to a few different people to work on, he finally gave up and traded it in for something else. He got a mid-level Ibanez and that was the guitar he used to teach himself how to set up a floating tremolo so it would stay in tune. That guitar is still his baby. In hindsight, the ESP was likely not the problem. Not knowing how to properly set the guitar up was the problem. Since then, he’s bought a few different guitars with the floating tremolo and has set them up to where he can literally pick the guitar up by the tremolo bar and it will still stay in perfect tune. I’m only sharing to know that these guitars (like most) are not perfect out of the box. As far as brand names with the Floyd, he now has the Ibanez and a Dean (Dimebag). His other “metal” guitars are all Schecters. He’s got two 6-strings, a 7-string and an 8-string. Awesome guitars. Just watching him grow, I’d recommend ESP, Ibanez or Schecter, based on actual experience. Jackson makes very nice guitars and Charvel has made a nice comeback, too. But there are a lot of moving parts to those floating tremolos. Just replacing a broken string isn’t like replacing a string on a Strat. You’ve got the locking nut and the fine tuners at the bridge. Once you get it down, you’ll be able to do it on your sleep (my son just turned 20). Lastly, you can get away with going mid-range, as far as a brand’s series of guitars. The differences between mid and high range are usually hardware and maybe pickups. The lower range guitars are likely not worth it, unless you’re planning on replacing stuff. Looking forward to seeing what you get!

I have to agree. For 17 years, a successful Bills season was, "making the playoffs." This team is beyond that.

You know what’s not sustainable, Father McDermott? Coaching a team that has a top 3 QB, but can’t sniff the Super Bowl.

I agree wholeheartedly. After the 13 seconds debacle, adding anything onto McDermott's plate isn't going to be a good idea.

He graduated from/is from the same hometown as Jimmer Fredette. My guess is that, if Fredette truly enjoys playing in China, then he'll recommend that to Girard.

Just got this from our local weekly paper (Glens Falls Chronicle) and wanted to share: Glens Falls native JG3 today announced his current plans as he heads towards his fifth and final year of college basketball eligibility. He said he will enter the 2023 NBA Draft Process, but also maintain collegiate eligibility and enter the transfer portal. "From the time I was a little kid, I've been committed with a relentless pursuit to play the game of basketball at the highest level. My focus has been and continues to be living out that dream," he wrote on Instagram. "I will be continuing my dream by entering the 2023 NBA Draft process while at the same time maintaining my collegiate eligibility. With that said, I will also be entering the Transfer Portal to keep my options open and gather as much information as possible in order for me to make the most informed decision about my basketball future." "I want to express my utmost gratitude to my family, Coach Boeheim, and Orange Nation for the past four seasons. Thank you to every fan and supporter who has impacted me in a positive manner and has helped shape who I am today. I am confident in God's plan and trust that the next chapter will be amazing. I'm grateful for what has taken place on the journey thus far and am looking forward to what my future holds."

I do think WAR is a decent measure for baseball. For pitching, I like to look at walks/hits/strikeouts per inning, weighing them differently between starters, relievers and closers. For football, I think PFF is garbage. No … I know it’s garbage.

I'm slightly editing mine after (adding U2/bumping Huey) reading some others' submissions. The Police - Easily my favorite band of this era and in my Top 3 bands of all time. The 80s gave us Zenyatta, Ghost and Synchronicity. Actually, Regatta was released in October of 1979, and they toured on that album in 1980 and released Bed's Too Big Without You in 1980 ... so that album can be counted as an 80s album, IMO. To this day, I maintain that the Police's music is a genre of its own. No other band has done, or does it. Van Halen - DLR Era 80s albums: Women/Children, Fair Warning, Diver Down, 1984. Hagar Era: 5150 and OU812. Pure f*cking gold and most of their best work in that decade. Diver Down was a little weak, with the covers, but I still think it was a very good album. All of the other 80s VH albums, to me, are excellent ... by both iterations of the band. U2 - I don't know why I left these guys off of my original list. I loved early U2 (my first album of theirs was War). The 80s brought us Boy, October, War, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree and Rattle/Hum. That is an epic list of albums. Unforgettable Fire is my personal favorite and what I consider to be their last "great" album. But the last two of the 80s were still pretty damn good. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes was released in late October 1979 and three hits (Refugee, Here Comes My Girl and Even the Losers) were released in 1980. Then we got Hard Promises, Long After Dark, Southern Accents and Let Me Up (I've Had Enough). All INCREDIBLY solid albums, each with multiple timeless hits.

ALL of us??

They weren't prepared. They didn't want to be there. They didn't want to play. I'd have rather seen them forfeit than sit through watching them barely go through the motions. The better coached, better prepared team won. Par for the course in the Bills' postseason ventures, unfortunately.

Hall and Oates just missed the cut for my top 4.
