Yeah, well, it helps when you get good players back. How many players are still with the Cubs after they backed up the truck in 2021? That’s a rhetorical question.

Just want to say “Day of the Dead” is vastly underrated. It’s the first example, I think, of a filmmaker expressing that neither science nor the military will save us. That’s a brilliant postmodern deconstruction of the genre.

This film will remain as relevant forever it seems — like Orwell’s 1984 — even though we wish otherwise! Avarice, arrogance, and dishonesty will always be in vogue for the powerful.

Absolutely! Must have both. And it also goes without saying you must spend a lot to have the good farm infrastructure. So, yeah, they bought a championship like most winning teams do, but not entirely with all-star free agents.

He’s right. If you don’t have the farm system to feed it then buying all the best free agents doesn’t usually work. The coaching and leadership matter too. Just ask the Mets about that approach.

I think any team would be nuts to fire a coach and then let the GM who hired him to pick another one. Especially the GM who picked Jones over Barkley and then got nothing for firing Jones, who has revived his career.

I always like to think of him as Bob Fosse in “All that Jazz.” What inspired casting. “It’s showtime!”

Great points. Forgot about all of that. I haven’t flown in awhile and forgot what a hassle it can be to get in and out of some airports.

A nonstop high-speed rail trip would take about 90 minutes longer than a flight but when you factor checking in and getting through security it could take longer to fly probably.
