two men are standing next to each other in a parking lot at night
Alt: two men are standing next to each other in a parking lot at night. One is a guitarist with a huge confused ego, the other is a young aspiring rock writer whose innocence is leaving.

Most people watch Almost Famous like tourists.
I watch it like someone reading my own diary written by someone else. I've been both William and a few of the band members in my life, and this film, for me, is complete perfection.

If you wish someone a Happy New Year in Spanish, please add the Ñ! Wishing someone a Feliz Ano Nuevo doesn't mean what you think it does. 😜
Feliz Año Nuevo, everyone!

I vehemently disagree with one vote but the consistency of having PED players with the requisite numbers and aforementioned vote is good. You can't really argue with the numbers of most of these votes.
Here's my first HOF ballot. Wasn't easy, put a lot of thought into it.
The way I did this was ...

I finally finished my degree.
I have two kids, one of whom has autism and was diagnosed this year with Doose Epilepsy.
My wife, spouse, has a very stressful and time consuming job. I did this while working a difficult part time job and navigating this hard year.
Summa Cum Laude, btw.

I've had many more substantial but the most minor was I shared an elevator with Matt Barnes in a Vegas hotel. I wanted to tell him I enjoyed his podcast but his face said:
"It's 2 am. Leave me alone."
"It's 2 am. Leave me alone."
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

He is Mexican, as is his father. Just dumbassery to support an administration who would aggressively try and deport you even if you're a citizen.

Here's why I can't watch the NFL. If that play on the last Eagles position was not a catch, this one by Shavers is even less of a catch.

If you won't put steroid users on your list that's your prerogative even though I don't necessarily agree.
However: omitting steroid era players BUT PUTTING CARLOS BELTRAN is stupid as hell. He cheated the game more than a single steroid user and he can kick rocks.

I baked a gingerbread cake, blueberry muffins, and an apple pie. I also obviously took care of my son, and finished wrapping a million gifts.
But now for a few minutes, the evening is mine. Lord of the rings and Lagavulin.
Merry Christmas, here on the East Coast, to all who celebrate.

Threw a bat at a player (should've been banned for it or suspended a season.)
Dustin Pedroia
WS dirty play
Constant fights
Immature with the media
There's like...various more lol. He's gonna be a HOF numbers-wise. But to say he doesn't deserve a poor rep is willfully ignorant.

It's not always easy to tell when a guy is having a Hall of Fame career, and what does it mean to "appreciate" said career, but Manny Machado has to be one of the least appreciated players who is having a no doubt Hall of Fame career.
