why is the Cal-UCLA reason to stay together any different than UW-WSU or OU-OSU?

i cant imagine that WSU and OSU get less people to show up to their games than Cal??!!

Nothing says Pacific Coast like South Florida, unless it's Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I don't like ginger. Especially hate it when I bite into a chunk in food.

i dont love chunky ginger, but it is a good thing while cooking when it is grated up or diced finely.

i dont mind the ginger you get w/ sushi. but i only have a little. not a giant pile like other people that i regularly eat sushi with ie wife and kids.

Grated or diced is fine. I guess it's when I bite into a chunk that I hate.

Expand full comment

I don't like the sushi ginger either. I just let others take them.

Expand full comment

I will eat all your sushi ginger.

Trump indicted in new charges related to him telling his people to destroy evidence at Mar a Lago. The indictment reads like an sequel to Idiocracy

arent you on vacation?

as much as the people are doing their job in tracking down this stuff, i am not sure it makes a difference in upcoming election.

the other Republicans that are running have to be willing to go after him on these things, but it is not clear that they are willing to do so. perhaps they are just hoping Trump will unravel himself enough ...

Man, that first inning in St Louis for the Cards v the Cubs…the umpires are seriously out of control.

Ohtani throws a 1-hitter CGSO in the first game and goes 2-3 with 2 HRs in the 2nd game.

Who would you prefer running your favorite sports franchise: Arte Moreno or Jim Knowlton? I have the great fortune having both running two of my favorite orgs. Good times.

Expand full comment

I kind of like the Giolito trade though. Only way Shohei stays is if you put together a contender this year so why not take a swing?

Expand full comment

Cause they have the worst farm system in the game and if Ohtani leaves they have no chance of a competitive present or foreseeable future.

how do you feel about engaging in nerdy banter w/ random people?

(not exactly sure this is the question i am actually asking .. read below)

i was at a tennis lesson yesterday w/ my newly found Cal grad instructor. overall good.

when he found i studied physics, every tennis analogy and instruction started having something to do w/ his medium-well-informed view of how things work.

sometimes it would be reasonable stuff about top spin creating pressure differences and causing the ball to dip down. other times it was a bit of a stretch just trying to find some excuse to use F=ma but not it a way that made any sense.

i appreciate that he was trying to connect w/ me and be friendly and nice. on the other hand i didnt spend any time correcting anything about what he said. just tried to keep in mind that he was trying to teach me tennis AND have a fun conversation at the same time.
