I've always said that this was the move that shocked me the most and the one I was sure the FO regretted most.
Schwarber was always talked about so glowingly by the FO. He was the one guy, more than Rizzo, KB, Baez that I was like 99% sure would sign an extension to be a Cub for 10+ years.
Jed Hoyer regrets non-tendering Kyle Schwarber & says he should be a Cub.

Same. When we lived in Germany and traveled around, we often told people we were Canadian. I had been to Ottawa enough times to "fake" it 👍

December 22, 1988: The Rockets and Clippers each sink half-court shots within a span of three seconds, as Houston’s Buck Johnson and Los Angeles rookie Danny Manning make back-to-back bombs to end the third quarter.

Johnson finished with 24 PTS in the Rockets' 125-109 win. Manning scored 21 PTS.

As the middlemen between drug companies and insurers, PBMs are shoo-ins as the villains behind high drug prices. But they do play a useful role in the health marketplace.

Pretty much convinced that with the obvious exception of @bobmehr.bsky.social no one has written as insightfully about the Replacements as Elizabeth Nelson from the great band the Paranoid Style.

For my guitar folks
I went to go play and the three bottom strings are pulled really tight to where I can’t play. When I put my fingers on the frets, they mute. My thought is the tension bar on the neck is messed up.
Any thoughts on how to fix?

Here’s my painting of Lou Gehrig in action at League Park, May 10, 1935. This was a b!tch to paint, as so many of the prints of this particular shot are overexposed and blown out—it took a while to get a proper scan to dive into. Based on the photography of Louis Van Oeyen.
