So, I see a doc this AM for my shoulder, get an X ray, he orders an MRI, which I just finished.  The wife laughed when I asked her if this would happen in France.  She's still laughing.

Rotator cuff, blown out in 1971.  I am going to shock everyone at fantasy camp this January.   I'm going to announce my presence with authority!

This guy is a first ball fast ball hitter.  I don't care, he ain't seen MY fastball.

I gotta a Porsche with a Blaupunkt sterao.

You don't need a blaupunkt, you need a curveball.

The doc is pretty sure I have a blown rotator cuff, which is a very typical pitching injury of course, and he thinks he can fix it.

My dad was born in 1944.  They were very poor farmers.   Anything they had went into the farm first.

And since the relationship with police is at an all time low, I doubt many of these shootings will be prosecuted.   Within 2021 I think questions will be asked about why more crime is not being solved.   jmo

Minnesota doesn't appear to have an offseason thread here, so I'm just gonna leave this here:

So sad. I can't remember what happened when Gameday made its first-ever appearance up there.

Not in Chicago. They get arrested, and go free on little to no bail. George Soros, and all that.

Funny... Bar owners *were* shooting each other, to an extent, from about 1920->1933...

I can't imagine what was similar about that situation and now...

(This convo should probably be moved to 2020 SoU thread though).


Nah. The Outfit didn't own bars. They just offered "protection" and supplied the booze.

That's why I said "to an extent". The bar owners were at a lower level of the supply chain and the violence was largely carried out by their controllers... But they were all part of the same scheme.

Are there a lot of people arrested for shootings that injure or kill getting low bail? Seems like a hole, but in general, the way bail functions in society is ... well not so ideal.
