Tabe

Maybe. Since he only played four games and was released long before the playoffs, he may not get one. Every team is different on how they dole out rings so SF might not give him one.

Bob Gibson in 1967. 3 starts, 3 CGs, 3 wins. 27 IP, 14H, 26K, 1.00 ERA. Just about duplicated the feat the very next year and would have if Curt Flood hadn't misplayed a fly ball. Or Lew Burdette in 1957. 3 starts, 3 CGs, 3 wins, 27 IP, 0.67 ERA.

I guess seeing Hook 'em Horns McCoy go 25-30 for 299 in a road win over the 6-1 Cowboys made RG3's legs feel a lot better.

This is a really, really disappointing month, IMHO. No AAA titles. Or AA. Or A. Good grief. I'll give a few of these a try, sure - I'm a sucker for shooters like Luftrausers - but...yeah.

That one has been solved, too.

Not real crazy about it since it's so freaking early here on the west coast. I got up to shower and watch the game and decided it was too early so I went back to bed. Watched the whole second half though so I guess it worked out ok.Bottom line: 630 am is too early for me.

Home sick yesterday, and finished with my binge-watching of Parenthood, so it's back to some documentaries: Please Subscribe - Somebody on here asked me to watch this (apologies for forgetting who!) Well, I did. I can't say I was impressed in any way. This is one of the laziest documentaries I've seen in a long, long time. The makers take what could be an interesting subject - "Youtubers" who make a living posting videos to Youtube - and do nothing with it. What we get are short 5-10 minute interviews with each person, a tiny bit of behind-the-scenes at how their videos are made and...that's it. The people profiled seem nice enough - Hannah Hart, in particular, seems pretty darn cool (though I suspect I'd find her "drunk chef" videos incredibly annoying) and SeaNanners seems pretty cool as well. But, again, nothing much is done with them other than the interviews. Then, in one interview, we get what is almost the documentary equivalent of one of those annoying Facebook clickbait articles. They put up a little screen that says they asked one guy some really personal question and show him not answering. Then another screen saying three weeks later he's willing to address it. Then he...doesn't. And at no time are we told the actual question. It's sort of implied that the question is along the lines of "ARE YOU TEH GAY???????" but never stated as such. It feels like a "We asked this guy a really personal question. You won't believe his shocking response" clickbait thing. There's some mention of a "Youtubers convention" but not much is shown of it. There's references, and a couple brief video clips, highlighting the fame some Youtubers achieve but, again, not much done with it. In the end, the whole thing just feels like one big missed opportunity. 5/10. The History of the Eagles - An official documentary on seminal rock band The Eagles. Not sure if this is the same thing as what ran on HBO/Showtime last year or not. Clocking in at just over 3 hours, this is pretty darn great. Every band member - past, present, former, etc - participates as well as managers and music execs. Because it's done by the band themselves, they don't go into a ton of detail on internal strife or controversy but every topic IS covered. Each membership change is discussed, all the major lawsuits and controversies are covered. LOTS of talk (and photos and film) of drug and alcohol usage. Lots of great discussion on the creation of various songs. Lots of great discussion on the music histories of each member. And tons of great archival footage of past interviews and concerts as well as home video footage. Truly a remarkable amount of that kind of stuff, quite frankly. And perhaps the best little tidbit - audio of an on-stage argument between Glenn Frey and Don Felder during their last-ever performance that features Frey telling Felder he's going to kill him after the concert. Seriously great stuff there. That's all in the first part of the doc. The second part covers the reunion in 1994 and subsequent albums and tours. Interesting tidbit: a reunion was planned for 1994 and all guys had agreed to it but Glenn Frey backed out. Didn't know that. Discussion of Don Felder's removal from the band. In general, most of the guys in the group come off pretty darn well in their interviews. Don Henley, who has a reputation of having a massive ego and being tough to work with, comes across here more as confident and not overbearing. Glenn Frey comes off the worst as he's the one telling the story of getting Don Felder involved in the reunion (Frey wanted Henley & Frey to make more money than the other three guys and Felder wasn't cool with that). It's obvious Frey has a very large ego and is much aware of his role within the Eagles and the music industry. On the flip side, Timothy B Schmit comes off as really humble and likable. He joined the band late and is still very much in the "Man, this is great!" mindset, loving what he's doing. Anyway, the whole documentary is really great and a must-see for fans of the band or rock in general. Great stuff. 9/10.

Justin Smoak is living proof that being a "highly touted prospect" gets you a million chances you don't deserve. Dude has been a terrible player since day 1 and has never improved. He should've been out of the majors 3 or 4 years ago.

That's cuz it's filmed in Spokane, yo.

He's the king of the humble brag but does seem line a really nice guy from his book.

Oh, for sure. I see him as a receiver and returner. Running back? I dunno...

I can't imagine he'll stay healthy enough to be a quality back. You saw how fragile the guy is...

Insert Tabe rant on how Alabama was ranked too high previously after a loss and bad win.

Oh yeah, also: find a list online of all the various materials in the game that are needed for every single side mission or quest. You'll hate it if your sell stuff that you need later.

Shane, a heads up when playing Rainbow Moon - speed is, by far, the most important attribute in the game. Level that up ahead of everything else. Trust me on that. Put no money or effort into luck - that levels up all by itself through crafting. You'll max it out without even thinking about it.

It might be you - I haven't had a single problem with my Apple TV.

So...after a few weeks of NHL Gamecenter, my thoughts... Replays usually take about 3 hours to be available. Not bad. Some nights, it's been 5 or 6 though, which sucks. Apple TV works great but has a lesser interface. Also, highlights aren't marked on the games, which isn't much of an issue for me since I don't fast forward. PS3/PS4 are not as good. Interface is better, and highlights are marked, but...video quality isn't great. Or, rather, the frame rate isn't. It's not smooth, unlike the Apple TV. There appears to be no difference in game availability between the different systems, as you would expect. So far, very happy with the purchase.

Why would you say something so unkind?I'm a heartless meanie.

I woke up at 545 to shower and watch the game (630 start time). Got up and said "screw this" and slept a couple more hours. Got up the second time and it's 21-0. So, yeah, I missed all the bad stuff. I'm ok with that.

Wait, the Lions BENEFIT from the refs? Unreal. Atlanta flat gave that game away with their hilarious clock management. Mike Smith: top in his class at the Andy Reid School of Clock Awesomeness.

Yeah, terrible no-call there. NFL really needs to make sure the field is better next time. Even Pittsburgh and Washington have better fields

Wings give up just two even strength shots in 38 minutes against Philly, lose anyway. Their offense is just pathetic.

No, that's just Stafford.

Michigan State did themselves no favors today. Their offense didn't do much of anything all day, despite having the ball the entire game. They essentially scored 21 points. You wanna make a claim for the playoff, you gotta score 50+ against a team as incompetent as Michigan. Give Michigan's defense credit. They played really well with no help at all from their offense. Michigan's offense is beyond atrocious. Gardner is just awful. And when he does hit a receiver, they drop it. And forget having a running game. Brady Hoke most definitely sealed his fate today.

Yeah, both brothers are overpaid. Jordan is making $6m to put up 35 pts. Eric is getting over $8m to put up 55. Good luck to Carolina there.
