Love Baseball (specifically the DBacks) Suns, Star Trek, Star Wars, TV and Film history. Proud Democrat. Lots of typos.
My Dad texts me once every couple months because a full screen "your computer has been compromised" page loads and he thinks he has been locked out with a virus, and he says "I didn't go anywhere bad"...and I don't know about that...
I just tell him to reboot.

My 13 year old son has been watching a lot of stand up comedy recently and said “I sent you a Chris Rock clip that is hilarious” a couple nights ago and I thought “please don’t let it be that one....please don’t let it be that one…”
It was “Bullet Control” though.

Roki Sasaki's agent telling the Blue Jays and Dodgers to trade for as much international bonus money as they can and he might sign with them.

xMy way to early prediction on the Corbin Burnes opt-out putting it out there now so I can refer back to it), if the contract is a success and Burnes has the ability to opt out, he will make the NTC full so he can't be traded for the final 4 years.

The DBacks are in an awful RSN situation, play in a ramshackle stadium that only occasionally functions, charge like $3/hot dog and keep dropping fat contracts and trying to improve despite being in the toughest division in baseball, which I think absolutely rules.

I still can't believe the Dbacks signed Corbin Burnes.
Dbacks are finally exploiting one of the biggest advantages they have: players who live in AZ and want to be at home year round. It may not always work out (See MadBum) but it is one of the few advantages we have.

I'm a day late because I was focused on the DBacks finally making a move, but the death Rickey Henderson is so sad, who I loved growing up in the 80s/early 90s. I was a skinny fast kid and he kept that delusional dream that I could be a big leaguer alive

Welcome to the winter meetings, where maybe 6 or 7 big moves might happen if we are lucky.
MLB Free Agency is consistently the most agonizing slog through winter since the Battle of the Bulge.
I'm just sitting around waiting for my team to do something, anything, and it never happens.
And when something finally does, its like a tiny drip and then I wait for another drip a month later.

In hindsight, I need to modify this.
The Dbacks, Suns, Cardinals, AND ASU are all good at the same time in the first time in forever.
And all we had to do was offer up the Coyotes as a sacrifice.

May make some people mad, but Kevin Durant is the most important Sun player at this point.
We've gone 1-6 since he got injured an I love Booker but if the situation was reversed and Booker got injured (along with Beal) I don't think we would have gone 1-6.
