When I was about 18 or 19 I bought about 50 playstation games for about 30 bucks.

I took them straight to a gamestop and sold them for about 300.

A few days later the cops show up at my house to arrest me because they were stolen.

I bond out of jail right on the spot and on the day of my court date I explain to the sheriff what happened and he says if I can pass a polygraph he'll drop the charges.

I did and never even had to go in front of a judge.

That's the worst thing Ive ever done.


Not going in front of a judge does not change things.  From what you have described, you were charged.  The public record of that charge remains a public record.  Expungement literally eliminates the record.  Tennessee is one of only a handful of states to allow this.

See Jes.

You're not always a SOB and I knew you'd agree with me regarding Addison Russell.

Why cant you always be like this?

Aside from making her feel bad, what exactly is it that his wife says Russell did?

Assuming EVERYTHING she says is completely accurate, just what is it he did to her?
Clean slate? LOL

If Strop could be good to go by playoffs, that would be quite helpful.  If Cubs can hold off the Brewers, the won't open until next Thursday.  So if Strop is currently "hoping" to pitch this week, maybe actually being ready to to so by next Thursday isn't totally unrealistic?

~sigh~

Two points --
1) Based on actually reading your comments, and knowing quite well both my position regarding Russell and everything I have written here regarding Russell (which doesn't encompass my entire position on him), I strongly suspect that our agreement on Russell is far less than you seem to think.  For instance I suspect that we both agree that Russell is a male, has played SS for the Chicago Cubs, and that his ex-wife or estranged wife (or whatever she is) is quite upset with him, and that while she has aggressively trashed him and his reputation, she so far has not set out in any meaningfully substantive form what if anything she says he physically did to her.

2) In class this morning I was explaining to my 8th grade Special Education kids how backhanded compliments are not only generally less than sincere, but how they generally end up making the person extending the "compliment" look bad, well, actually looking a bit disgusting.  The 8th grade Special Education kids all got it.

Playoff Q:  If the Cubs hold on to the best record in the league, will we still automatically play the wildcard team?  Even if it turned out to be the Brewers and they had maybe the 2nd best record in the league?

Yes. Cubs were the wild card in 2015 and faced the Cardinals in the NLDS.

Would much rather pay the Braves than the Brewers.

I don't think either team is susceptible to bribes.

Bryant’s X-ray is negative, but he will be out tomorrow.

Possible Scenario?

Cubs and Brewers tie for the division with the best record in Baseball.
Monday playoff game in Chicago for division Cubs lose.
Wild Card game in Chicago the Cubs could win.
Brewers lose first round.
Cubs have to play all remaining playoff series' without home field even though they have the best record in the league.

I think it is time for MLB to reevaluate the home field thing.

@TonyAndracki23

Cole Hamels has as many homers this month as Kris Bryant, Ben Zobrist, David Bote, Tommy La Stella, Jason Heyward, Albert Almora Jr., Willson Contreras and Addison Russell COMBINED.
