    He met her in 1960 when he was kidnapped by the same Indians at 3 years old. I know...right? Incredible story.

    You are an idiot....also. Get over it. Dusty will be the manager until he probably wants to not be.

    That's really not something good to advertise.

    Like, there's literally nothing good at all about what you said. At all. I especially loved the "Devil's Music" part, but then you liked Karen Carpenter who had an untreated mental disorder because of people like you and starved herself to death. Good stuff.

    Off to the D&D!!!

    So the dilemma of when Brantley gets back, do we leave hot OPS Pena in the 2 hole?

    Altuve
    Pena
    Bregman
    Alvarez
    Tucker
    Brantley
    Meyers
    Gurriel

    It will go back to the pre Pena days so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.

    Except Dusty thinks it's bad to have Alvarez and Tucker back to back

    Dusty needs a shot of Jobu's rum

    He put them back to back for a while. Not great at stats, but it seemed like they did really well for those games it happened.

    Yordan is really good on the base paths. He's not the speediest player (though he moves faster than his size would lead you to believe) but he seems to really maximize what speed he has by being very smart running the bases. It's an underrated part of his game, I feel.

    Yea he did it for a few games and then right back to moving Tucker down. At least now he has Alvarez up to 3rd and Bregman splitting them up batting 4th, as opposed to move of the year with Tucker batting 6th behind Yuli

    It sounds a little bit like "Dances with Wolves". ;)

    She was kidnapped at three in Tennessee I think. She was found in 1880 at the age of 12. She didn't talk about her time in captivity so the story picks up as a young girl ready to become a young wife. But she was always called Auntee rather than Verna, even though she had children of her own. She was on my mothers fathers side and he died in 1957 so our contacts were minimal.

    Still bothered by the "Apple Tv" graphic with Fish and Sho having bigger odds at the AL MVP over our glorious Yordan. It's Judge and Alvarez, If I were a Janqui fan, I'd have Judge as the leading mvp candidate but I'm not so Yordan is leading this race for now.
