2 Overweight and slow infielders…

1st baseman cannot get to a pop up foul ball and 3rd baseman cannot snag a hot shot on the line. And neither are particularly good at the plate.

It’s sad that that this is apparently the best we have.

They both need to take Zepbound, I’m sure the medical staff can get them prescriptions for almost no cost. Why do we have that fancy nutrition center?
If you pay 110% of your prior year taxes paid and used to estimate the current year, you avoid penalties for underpaying.
The average S&P 500 correction percentage over the past 20 downturns has been 14%. In March of last year, there was a 10% decline. In October of 2023, 10.3%. October of 2022 was 25.4% and March of 2020 was 33.9%.

Right now, with the events going on in the Middle East:

Dow 30 - down 5.01% ytd
S&P 500 - down 5.56% ytd
Nasdaq - down 7.87% ytd
Russel 2000 - down 0.59% ytd

Yes, I realize that the declines from all time highs are larger because of the quick run up in January, but to keep things in perspective, so far this is very mild and honestly, considering everything going on, it could be much worse.

There is an ETF, the symbol is MAGS. It is an equal weight ETF investing in only the Magnificent 7 stocks and automatically re-balances, with a reasonably low expense ratio.
Civics Lesson - It needs to be passed in the House and then signed by Trump. Passing a Bill in the Senate means nothing for now.
Now is a great time to buy. The Straights of Hormuz WILL re-open and when it does, oil will fall dramatically and stocks will go up bigly. The question is when?? It should be very soon.

You cannot wait for it to actually happen because it will be too late, too many insiders on Wall Street will beat you to it, gotta get in now, and the market may still go down for a few days or maybe a week, but it’s real close.
I didn’t respect him. With everything at his disposal - trainers, weight room, dietitians, the Nutrition Center, planned micro meals. How about GLP-1 medication?

He chooses to be fat..it will cost us games.
Interior Offensive Lineman in Football
Run stopping Defensive Lineman in football
Sumo Wrestler
Heavyweight Boxer (questionable)
Shot Put in Track & Field

A baseball player is not one of them.
Had it ever happened before, anybody know?
Saban - Candy
Miles - took several shots at female LSU students
Ed - blonds with large breasts after dumping his wife
BK - the Realtor
Lane - to be determined

Feel free to downvote homers…

If your friend (you) was dumb enough to give $15,000 upfront, then he (you) need to learn a good lesson by losing this money and he (you) will never make this mistake again.

Who’s the fat lady in crimson dress

That’s jumping up like crazy and clapping, seems to be sitting on the D side of the isle?
His size, and because of it, and possible lack of quickness, nimbleness and speed…will it eventually cost us in a big game? I’m thinking about some of the plays Tre’ Morgan made to secure victories.

Should Yorke be used as the DH and allow more speed at 1st?
Women in politics has been a disaster and I will not vote for her, unless I have to. I also will not vote for Cassidy, unless I have to, so I’ll go with Fleming. I he does not win the primary, I will have a choice to make, either not vote or vote for whoever the Republican candidate is.
Of course we will, it has in the past and will in the future, it’s part of the process of economic cycles, some more significant than others, but it absolutely will happen. The money printing may in fact be the next reason why we have a significant, long term down cycle.
You should not buy an individual stock unless you are willing to hold it for 5 years. if you buy quality stocks, you will almost always catch a nice run up in the 5 year period.
He should at least say a list of the reasons for impeachment, you cannot just do it because you don't like them. Also, Noem is attacked because of her speech the other day. If saying things in a speech that people disagree with is grounds for impeachment, then every politician would be impeached.
Men like bit tits, but there are a lot of flat chested ladies out there.

They will give you top notch service, but at a premium price. They will also try to upsell you for additional services.

They are good, if you are willing to not care much about competitive pricing.
