Middle Buffalo

The first person who ate asparagus had to think he was dying, right?

If yermin had swung and corkscrewed himself into the ground on the eephus pitch, it would have made all the highlights and been ok with the Twins...

Seriously, it would be ok if Yermin was trying and struck out or popped it up, but smashing a HR is off limits? If the batter isn’t supposed to try, the other team should just surrender and forfeit.

I like them giving Vaughn a few innings in RF. Might be a long term fit for him?

This is me. Making small talk with people just because...not my idea of fun. I don’t really care about you. You don’t care about me. I’ll still give you a good tip. When I donate blood and get haircuts, I purposely wear nondescript clothing. I don’t need to hear about the time you went to Chicago. I’m firmly in the Jay Cutler “Don’t care” camp.

I’m a lifelong Bears fan, yet I always liked Rodgers (and Favre). Both are great players. I’m jealous of the success GB has had with them. That said, both have revealed themselves to be huge douchebags.

Really good show.

I’ll miss Andrew Shaw. He wasn’t great, but he always gave his all. It’s nice to see someone get the most out of limited ability.

I hope skeptics like Nugent get bad enough cases that they become advocates for getting the vaccine.

Just tuned in on the mlb app and saw the Merrifield SB call. I don’t like it either. I think he did come off the bag, but that probably happens most of the time. He was still over the bag. Based on this call, this crew should be calling safe on Double Plays when the fielder turning at 2nd isn’t 100% on the bag which the ball.

I was tracking this game at work, and they were up 4-1 when I stopped paying attention. Definitely stunned at the result.

It’s a huge sacrifice to wear a mask. Haven’t you heard?

How do they not note that Ruben is in full uniform?

Yermin is the type of guy the Cardinals, Twins and As always seem to have. Hopefully he has other teams scratching their heads saying, “Where’d this guy come from?” all season.

I actually went to the store and picked up an HDMI adapter so I could hook my phone/iPad to the tv because last year I wasn’t able to get the app to open up. This year it works. Not sure what changed, but I’m pretty happy. I have it on two TVs as well as the iPad and phone.

Just got the mlb app working on my tv, phone, and iPad. Thanks T-MOBILE! Tuned in to watch the game. Turns out opening day is tomorrow. Who knew?

I’ll be white-knuckling the next seven years hoping not to be audited.

I finally took the time to figure my taxes without claiming my 19 and 21 year olds. Having my 19 year old file independently gave her around a $3600 refund because I put all the tuition expense on her. She made around $10,000 working part time. My 21 year old had a pretty crappy year because his study abroad program was canceled in March for obvious reasons, but he still paid most of the cost by taking out loans. The school gave a small refund for housing, but not much. Then, he couldn’t get hired anywhere when he came back, and now he has his hardest labs, etc, so I don’t even think he’s really looking very hard for a job. He’s getting around $1800. My bill went up $1000 when I didn’t claim them, but the net gain is $4400. I told them just to give me the $500 I lost for not claiming each of them. I hope they get the stimulus checks too. Not getting anything for them last year is what a made me think it was a mistake to claim them at all once they are over 18.

Not sure I’ve ever seen someone with his ball handling skills have as many unforced turnovers as him. He just loses the handle once or twice every game. I agree, though, if he can develop any sort of shot, he’s going to be great.

I give platelets every month, and I can’t watch them put that needle in my arm. When I got this, I didn’t notice the needle being extra big, but I didn’t really pay attention. It’s just going into the upper arm muscle not poking around for an artery so I wasn’t concerned.

I got the J&J shot Friday. It feels a little thick going in to the arm, but pretty painless. I was a little tired yesterday. Took a 2 hour nap and was fine afterwards, so it may have just been a Saturday malaise. Today I feel fine. I can still feel a slight bump where the shot went in, and it feels a little like a bruise an inch or two around, but that’s it.

I have a feeling lots of people who are anti-mask are the same ones who ran out and bought up all the toilet paper.

Twitter users have already “clapped back.”

This might be what I do if I can’t figure it out. I think the mlb app on the tv wouldn’t recognize my username and password, and even when I reset it, it wouldn’t let me in.

I have a smart TV, and I have the app on it, but it wouldn’t work for me. I’ll figure it out this year I guess.
