I'm going to a wedding in Indianapolis this weekend.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
the shitty part
LOL TRICK QUESTION ITS ALL SHITTY
Let's not kid ourselves. It's really, really, bad.
Not entirely sure. They live in Carmel, so I'd guess it'll be near there.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."

I think I'll be going to Carmel sometime next spring.

It's the home of
Lance McAlister. How would it not be amazing?!?
Carmel ain't indy.
Carmel is rich folks.
Indy is where their parents used to live.
The baby under the basket is a very powerful talisman, only to be used in times of great distress.
I have a friend getting married in Bloomington
but I’m really finding it hard to justify traveling all the way there for it.
Still not a candidate.
Eh, I don't know the guy
but it’s just such a pain to get there. Either it’s a ridiculously long drive or a flight, then a car rental, plus a hotel somewhere…
Still not a candidate.
unless one of the two parties is a really close friend
i usually won’t sacrifice much to go to a wedding where I only like/know one of the two.
I don't argue I correct.
It must be surreal to go to friends' weddings
None of my close friends are married yet

It's even weirder
being asked to come to their kids birthday parties….and I’m not married or anything yet.
Those kids call me
“Uncle” which is what you call the people your parents know but aren’t related.
Or what they call the random guy sleeping with their mom that week
Or even if I just like such as judged a fish contest that would get me outta the house and in some air.

what must be really weird
is when “Dad” is also “Uncle” for a night.
I think that's dumb.
We called all adults except teachers by their first name when I was a kid. Even aunts and uncles. I have since learned that my parents and their acquaintances may have had slightly hippie attitudes in that department, but I like it.

Understandable.
I figure I’ll get married at some point, but I want to be pretty set financially first. No rush.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
my friends from undergrad are getting hitched
but not so much the people from Chicago.
I am in no hurry, more and more I don’t even know if i believe in marriage, i will probably do it for economic reasons. I am just not a big fan of a relationship defined by a legal contract. I would rather just be with somebody who makes me happy for as long as she and I can be happy together, not out of legal obligation.

I mean, bunt single puts runners on first and third. grounder to third would still be a DP (or at best 1st and third with one out) which means that you’re still relying on Cueto to do something not Cueto-y in order to score.

given the weird things
baseball players do with their facial hair, a hole in the center sounds downright normal.
My boss recently shaved off his beard. He had it for years, but it was starting to go gray. Looked messy and made him look older than he was. Didn’t want to go the Just For Men route, so off it went.

I couldn't say for sure, so you are probably right.
My contention is he wasn’t in a stretch too often so his pitches were not labored.
I have heard that matters … windup vs. stretch.
Also the Giants didn’t seem to have much of an offense.
But another 40 pitches would have been a tad much, so yeah … he was done.
The baby under the basket is a very powerful talisman, only to be used in times of great distress.
I think it made sense to take him out when they did
I agree on the laboring pitches thing with the wind-up vs. the stretch, but with 110 it was a good time to go ahead and give the reliever a full inning.
I had not heard that he was at 110 ...
Seemed he was a lot more efficient than that.

Cueto allowed just 2 flyball outs. Neither Masset nor Cordero allowed any
BP had 8 assists, one caught liner, and one tag. So he had 5 times as many defensive plays as the outfield combined.
That’s a masterful pitching performance, not letting the ball into the outfield like that. Even when he got into trouble (man on 3rd, one out) he was cool and collected. It was just a masterful pitching performance, even against the Giants.
Let's not kid ourselves. It's really, really, bad.
