Pudge has steroid rumors. Don't see him going in first ballot. Just like Piazza. I don't really think Vlad belongs. Very good, but not HoF in my mind.

Manny had steroid tinge. I don't think he's a lock. From this class, Raines, Bagwell, and maybe Hoffman enter?

Speaking of guns: I found out about two more shootings within two blocks. I guess the competition for selling crack is heating up. The word is that the state cops are moving in soon to patrol the corners. Assuming they were for sale, you'd have to plop down $500,000 to buy any of the houses two blo...

Nice! I'll be having the same.

I don't care what anyone says about shaf, he's a good guy.

What is this about?

Also, what network

ESPN.

Baseball-wise, it's a great move. Otherwise, not crazy about it.

What is this about?

He became a judge? Wow. He was slimy from the beginning, with how much he loved the cameras.

There's another podcast called Undisclosed about the Syed case. It is by three lawyers, one of them Adnan's family's friend who initially brought the case to Koenig's attention. Goes into a lot of detail about the case. A little too much detail at times, but it can be interesting.

Also, I have heard of criminal wives and the like, but man. If my mom started corresponding with someone in prison and became his "fiancee" I'd beat her with a stick.

Yeah, that was just nuts. Whatever happened to Jodi?

I wanted the brother of theresa to be the killer, I didn't care for him. Yeah, I ended up disliking him too. It's a shame because I know he and his family went through a terrible tragedy, but for them to overlook obvious signs of innocence, especially with Dassey, make it hard to sympathize with th...

Finished MaM There is so much messed up about all this. At some points I was convinced that Avery did it. But there is a ton that the state seemed to do wrong. And what possible explanation is there for his blood sample being unsealed and poked, other than to plant evidence? Agree, how important is ...

Having Stone Xocoveza (thanks, Eddie). This is really good, and really interesting. I'm not big on nutmeg and spices in beer, but this does it perfectly.

I'm in episode 5. Biggest thing against that I'm finding hard to believe is that there was no blood found in the room. And I don't really understand what that kid's lawyer's investigator was doing. It was like he was trying to get him to admit to doing it. I thought the lawyer was going to use that ...

This Making a Murderer.

Wow.

Yeah, just started this too. Enthralling.

But it also gives me a little piece of mine that if someone comes into my home, I'm not protecting my family with a baseball bat.

Gives you a piece of your what?

Where is the outrage from the BLM folks?

...and the league of women voters remains suspiciously silent. Not to mention the teachers unions and the Freemasons. And where does Goodell stand on this?

Goodell thinks that it's Brady's fault.

The number of gift cards I get from my students for Christmas reflects my performance.

Agree completely. Was very disappointed when I saw this was the direction they went. Still will give it a try though.

Serial is back, focusing on the Bowe Bergdahl saga this time.

I want to slap you for having enough access to heady that you would rather have something else at times.

Down to six in the fridge right now.

I really like a good session IPA. The flavor isn't as good as something like Heady obviously, but sometimes it's nice to have a beer that isn't as strong, especially on a hot day. They're just not as heavy.

I thought maybe I'd missed something about Heyward, but apparently not, based on his numbers. How does he merit a monster contract?

Heady Topper hasn't been topped for me yet. My favorite beer. Enjoy!

Parents brought me a couple four packs of Heady and Sip of Summer for Thanksgiving. If anyone gets a chance to try Sip, it is also well worth it. Amazing IPA, but sells out much like Heady.
