Wow! Manager and GM for Astros suspended for 1 year and then fired by the Owner for sign stealing. "Houston also forfeits its first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 MLB Drafts as part of the penalties. In addition, the Astros were fined $5 million, which is the highest allowable fine...

Ah, problem solved. An enterprising businesswoman has created a new line of ‘sex-proof’ makeup for sex workers . “A lot of makeups claim they’re long-wearing, and you might be able to get through a cocktail with them, but not a b - - w job or a hot shower,” the 29-year-old creator Lydia Dupra...

"Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere of the movie ["Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"], by the end his date was too old for him. Even Prince Andrew was like 'come on man, you're nearly 50,'" Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCNdTLHZAeo

LOL. Indeed - one man's Heaven may be another man's Hell. This made me think of the novel American Gods (also TV show) where the old gods of mythology (like Odin, Loki, etc.) are slowly being replaced by the new gods of today's society - technology, media, celebrity, drugs and money. So in...

Guest Commentary from JL: God is a concept By which we measure our pain I'll say it again God is a concept By which we measure our pain I don't believe in magic I don't believe in I Ching I don't believe in Bible I don't believe in Tarot I don't believe in Hitler I don't believe...

However bad you might think Montreal is, NYC is way worse. It has all of the excesses of the panhandlers you mention for Montreal plus people having sex on the dirty smelly subway floors in broad daylight! https://nypost.com/2019/12/03/subway-sex-duo-caught-on-video-in-second-subterranean-romp/

CB - I am not a local, but I actually thought there were more panhandlers 10 years ago. I remember that St. Laurent used to have Squeegee people who would wipe the windshields of cars at stoplights. I haven't seen them in a few years. Also, I seem to remember homeless young adults who would...

Last year someone on MERB posted an article about a New York escort who had worked as an Indy and for an agency at the same time. Same girl (different names) with no difference in the level or type of service, but she charged twice as much as an indy than what the agency charged. The only...

BBW - There was a big screen movie about the murders 2 years ago - Wolves at the Door. It got terrible reviews, mainly because it was too gruesome. Some of the review lines: "On the whole Wolves At The Door delivers some stellar performances and a genuinely terrifying story, but is largely...

NCITW - The sign stealing accusation is for 2017, the year the Astros won the World Series. There has been no formal complaint for 2019, although there were some who questioned it. Prior to the start of the 2019 WS, the Washington Nats pitching coach was asked about the stories of the Astros...

It's not just the media. Listen to what other baseball players are saying. And if it didn't help them, why chance doing it? (Then again the Washington Nationals figured out the 2019 version.) Sign stealing has been going on for years and is O.K. Except when you use technology and cameras to...

Are the Houston Astros the MLB version of the New England Patriots? "The Athletic reported Tuesday that the Astros stole signs during home games in real time in 2017. According to the report, Houston set up a camera in center field to zero in on catcher's signs, which were then relayed to...

Great World Series. Always like to see underdogs come up big in the clutch. I saw the Ryan Zimmerman interview after the game and he was introduced as the Nationals 1st draft selection. He replied - "Almost an Expo." Oh what might have been! Strasburg voted MVP. Mmmm. I think the series turned...

As baseball looks for different ways to make the game more interesting for all viewers, these two young ladies at last night's World Series game brought some late inning lightning to a blowout game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HjKW0VfUzM And now the rest of the story...

I think you misunderstood this story. The owner of the Houston team did not tweet support for the Hong Kong demonstrators, the general manager did. He was very quickly forced to apologize. In fact the Houston owner denounced the tweet and his general manager. The general manager may now lose his...

Very true Doc. Believe it or not, politicians have used this type of slander on their opponents before. Robert Schenkkan's play "All the Way" repeats a story concerning U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson. According to this story, LBJ wanted to circulate a rumor attacking his opponent in a Texas...

Fradi - Lol +1 on the I hate cabbage. Corned Beef and cabbage used to be a staple for Sunday dinner when all the old World relatives would gather at my childhood home. I hated the smell, the look, the taste, and my mother telling me how good it was for you. I have not had cabbage since leaving...

Again it makes me wonder how many of these girls have the attitude of the SCORES strippers in the article I linked earlier. “It fucked me up in the head a little,” she said of the window her job gave her into the male psyche. “The girls develop a terrible contempt,” one former Scores manager...

^Kind of makes you wonder if these sps that we think we have great chemistry with are just very good actresses.

Just picked up the "new" Abbey Road remix. My favorite Beatles' album sounds even better with the remix. Spotify has a cool The Beatles Abbey Road Experience with an interesting insight into what Beatles songs are being listened to: And while Abbey Road may be turning 50, the age group that...
