Drip is talented but it’s more program in the playoffs and they aren’t there yet.

Benjy lives 2 doors down from me and it couldnt have happened to a better guy. Beating his former team to go to the dome

That’s awesome. My wife and I worked with him at Waterfront in college. :cheers:

Regardless of the outcome, Benjy is living the life. He always wanted to do this.

While Vandy isn’t last years team, the team is much better than game 1 vs Drip. I think it’s closer (no homerism)
I’m curious how the big dogs manage this decision making process?
Just a quick update for you Waco. Thanks again for guidance. I’m a procrastinator but I’ve booked the following

Vintage House

Dinner
Jeanty
Market
Auberge
Debating Italian or just winging it one night

Tasting
Quintessa
Nickel
Opus
Waiting on Jarvis and Mowe before finalizing others - may have waited too late.

Plan to hit Archer for HH. Also looking for another HH with great views

That last play with JJ could have busted big but he won’t hit the hole
Gem. The scene when they get news of Trudy? Held captive is good. Great score
Live with Lloyd Lonn & Lester

Y’all have to use Lonn’s camera

This defense is the full subject thread title compared to cliffhanger subjects of years past.
Thanks Waco and others. I need to digest this info. Awesome stuff! :cheers:

Planning a first time Napa trip for 20th anniversary. Planning late October 19-23 and will likely do 4 full days. Need lodging, tastings, and food recs. Was thinking 5 or 6 wineries. We’re not on any lists. Is $10-12k ish a decent budget for lodging, wine, and food? Is 4 days enough?

We drink too much wine and appreciate the good ones but we’re not connoisseurs. Lean toward bold cabs but want to dive into some good SB and Pinot N.

Thanks in advance.

Evans will start game 3.

I’m sure that’s the plan. Hopefully all goes accordingly.
The wife and I were behind home plate. We switched hats for the win. You knew being there it was a game to soak up. Doubtful that experience will be repeated.

Why has Hoover created all these untouchable pitchers this year? K rate has to be up there this year.
Fun thread.

Phillip Palmer (sportscaster) has been doing news in Los Angeles for 25 years

Ron Sanner (sportscaster) always seemed like a cool dude. Looks like he’s been out of the news biz for a long time

Who was the short brownish-red headed guy in the 90s with a beard that filled in for Neil Shaw? He had a quiet soothing voice.
