Black Friday
Is that still a thing? Do people still go out to the stores like maniacs? There is no amount of money or any threat you could issue that would prod me into going into a store today to fucking shop.
What is Zaidi doing? I’m ready for some action.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Never been to Brooklyn Bowl, Bozo. I didn’t even know it was more than a bowling alley.
The section of Brooklyn that it’s in is like a different city to me…
i’m fascinated by different sections of a town that are so different they’re like a different city. In Palo Alto you’re either in Professorville, Crescent Park, Old Palo Alto, etc….but it’s all fucking the same.
Thanks Loo. if I ever go up for a show, hopefully we can meet up at the intersection of your Brooklyn and that Brooklyn and have a couple of adult beverages together.
That is 100%, Bozo…
Christmas spirit is so dead here.
Has been for some time…
Loo’s 9:17 from last night might be POTD of the year.
Good luck with SB Chiefs are fun to watch Tyreek Hill one of my favs ever
Not big on celebration stuff that gets weirder every game but that one where he jumped into stands and commandeered the camera was hilarious. You can even see the flag being thrown in background behind his teammates.
The MLBTR thread on Mets possibly trading Thor had an interesting argument. How valuable is an elite SP who only pitches in 30 games or so vs. an elite everyday player who hits in middle of LU? I guess it boils down to what your team needs most.
Kinda funny all the off season talk a year ago about big money teams staying under lux tax to go after FAs Harper/Machado. Doesn’t seem like any of Yanks Dodgers Sox really interested.
Unfortunately Black Friday is still a thing. It’s hideous on many different levels.
Quite an ugly brawl in the Miss. vs. Miss St. game last night. Kind of funny, too, because they’re all wearing protective astronaut suits.
Football brawls often have a comical element.
so do Black Friday brawls. I’m looking forward to those on twitter today.
I hear ya. It’s a freak show. A type of cultural insanity.
lol Permit Patty jokes will never die
That’s awesome. Kashana wins the internet today.
Black Friday is definitely still a thing. My step sister was off to line up late last night. She’s basically broke and buying everything on credit which is how I envision everyone who participates in such nonsense.
Snow game, Wash. vs. Wash. St., on Fox.
Thanks, Zum. I think some of us geezers are suckers for anything that takes us back a half century or so.
I think that’s why I still play stickball in my old schoolyard while people in some religious or ethnic get-up curiously look on. A good blast will get a reaction out of them…
You still got it!
Snowing steadily in Pullman for UW-Wazzu. Zu scores a late TD to close to 14-7 and on ensuing kickoff UW returner loses it on his own 26 with 28 seconds to go in first half.
Winner gets to conference title game vs.Utes.
It’s always amazing to me, living in a non-snow area, how thickly snow can come down.
There was nothing more fun than heaving snowballs (or iceballs) at passing city buses. Some kids could actually crack a window. I didn’t have that kind of gun, but we all loved to aim for the occasional unsuspecting chump who sat by an open window. My Social Security application didn’t ask if I ever grew up…
I guess I’m going to read all the Trump/Russia books. I’m now reading “House of Trump, House of Putin,” by Unger.
It looks at things from a different angle. Lots about the Russian mafia, who gained a strong foothold in Brooklyn decades ago.
Russia has basically a mafia government now. Putin runs the country as a mafia boss.
I’m halfway through Green Eggs & Ham.
Baffling…
Dr. Seuss was trippin.’
I get along really well with the Russians in Brooklyn. The men love hockey and the chicks are stunning.
I am in a big minority in that respect.
They are resented big time – especially the ones in the supermarkets who wear expensive fur coats and present some card at checkout that gets them everything for next to nothing…
I watched that documentary “Tyson” today. Lots of old video from Brooklyn back in the 70’s. Looked like a rough neighborhood
It was then – not now. Some of the worst neighborhoods in Brooklyn from back then are now fashionable, expensive hipster magnets…
that’s too bad. semi lqtm on that one
The book has some of the creative ways Italian and Russian mobsters disposed of bodies. Very disturbing.
Wild sequence. Trick play TD, then extra point blocked and ran back for 2 points.
Zumiee we get to be mortal enemies tomorrow evening. Good luck to your Kings, they have a shot with the Warriors in their current state.
It’s on! 🙂 🙂
what is wrong with people?
Yikes. Good question.
At least they left their guns at home. That’s a new concept!

The man I consider the real “Moonlight Graham” has died. I think a few years ago I was encouraging Pawlie to make contact. The one game he appeared in was pretty epic…

Probably would have been great story. NYC was always mecca of sports/entertainment world, and all of a sudden the 2 NL baseball teams are 3000 miles and 3 hours time zones away. This guy’s only ML game was for San Francisco.
Did NY fans still follow Dodgers and Giants from that far away? Until woeful expansion Mets arrived in ’62, closest chance to see NL team was Phils. And ’60s was heyday for black/latin players among NL teams, the guys who really piqued my interest.
Such a swell Giants majority owner…
