    • Finbarr just wrote me back and called me Don. I have no idea where that came from. As I've mentioned, I get Steve on the regular, but not clue where the hell Don came from.

      I think Finbarr may become my nemesis.

        Finbarr is the anglicized version of Fionnbharr, an old Irish name. There's even a saint associated, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finbarr_of_Cork

        The fun part though - the name comes from the roots "fionn" meaning white and "barr" meaning head. Whitehead.

        Your nemesis is Zit.

          Whatever you do, don't tell him you aren't Don. Save that for a year or two from now

              he was all, I don't understand, what you're saying isn't how I understand things... and I was like, I don't know what to tell you dude, not my job, talk to someone else to figure it out.

              • Watching the sixers - rockets game. Usually I hate when I'm stuck with the opposing teams announcers, but these Houston announcers, who I am pretty sure are both drunk, are entertaining as hell.

                  That's hilarious - I watched a Bucks-Rockets game earlier this year, and while I'm not sure about drunk, these guys said some outrageous stuff. I keep waiting for them to get in trouble, but hasn't happened yet.

                    Most of the announcers who are stuck with bad teams sound desperate to shine the shit that's on the floor. They pump up the one prospect, or talk about how the coach has them all playing hard or whatever... these two had some of that, but they also had a whole lot of "we know we suck and are going to lose, but we're at a basketball game instead of working 9-5, so let's have some fun!" Hell, the rockets dressed 8 for the game due to injuries and covid protocol and one guy twisted his ankle half way through, so they played a good part of the game with 7. THey lost by 20 and it was never close. Yet the announcers talked up the sixers a ton, and just came at it as basketball fans having a good time. Really enjoyed it.

                      I'm hoping I can patch together like 1.5 seasons of decent ball from a combination of Lamet, Sale, Mikolos, Pearson, and Sixto.

                      What's the over/under on 35 QS there?

                      I had saved Lamet and Pearson, have Sixto in the minors, auctioned Sale for $3 and took Mikolos in the 3rd round of the reserve draft (15 teams)
                      I probably can't give Lamet away, I'm keeping Sixto and moved Pearson a few days ago in a deal for Lance Lynn and Rhys Hoskins. Regarding the 35 QS question, I'm thinking the under at this point. I sure hope Lamet gets better, but it doesn't look good

                        right? I think I may get more innings out of Sale than the rest.

                        I'm tanked, about to start dumping I think.
