    Jon Wilner ranks Iowa State #8 in pre-season AP ballot

    I need to start seeing predictions of us going 0-12 because I'm starting to get a little big for my britches.

    I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress

    That makes sense but you should see all the dumbasses try to navigate the roundabouts in Johnston. IT SAYS YIELD NOT STOP! People are dumb.

    Glad I'm a Fat American

    Yeah, I think hypothermia is actually supposedly peaceful. Like people just start dreaming and seeing things and just drift off to sleep. They just don't wake up. I don't think drowning would be that bad either. Yeah the panic phase of "oh ****, I'm drowning" would be awful. But you're...

    Sign me up for a grand piano falling on me from a great height. Like flipping a switch.

    I benched Paxton in fantasy last night. You're welcome. Let me know when you need another good outing and I'll bench him again for ya. Dude is frustrating. Chris Sale can also EABOD.

    Thank God. As long as we didn't sell the farm.

    I'm so sick of Luke Jackson's bs. If Atlanta doesn't trade for a closer I'll be slightly pissed. Especially with the Washington making all kinds of moves. Jackson sucks. Edit: Well, at least the front office still has an hour to make a trade. Maybe seeing the bullpen blow the lead in the...

    The Braves were rumored to be in on Puig for a bit and I think half of Atlanta was praying it didn't happen. I didn't want him influencing our young Latin American guys like Acuña and Albies who play hard, play right, and have a lot fun doing it.

    So I'm hoping to catch an afternoon weekday game in Minneapolis next month. Anyone have suggestions on where to park or grab a bite to eat before/after the game? I'm assuming parking downtown in the afternoon on a weekday would be a poor choice. Any suggestions?

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    You must ride the Dart bus to work everyday then, huh. Fossil fuels and your kids' planet and such...

    So Trevor Bauer just threw the temper tantrum of the year... I can't imagine chucking the ball over the centerfield fence going over very well with an old dog like Francona. He threw the ball into the netting behind home just before this while the play was dead. What a child. Can't wait for...

    Marlins did the same with Realmuto last year. All conversations with Atlanta regarding Realmuto included Acuña. You can imagine where the Atlanta front office told them to shove that delusion.

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    I don't know if I'd call it bad ethics but it does look trashy and doesn't help with the stereotype of hunters being tabacker chewin' , beer drinkin' , uneducated rednecks. I like to think people like Steven Rinella, Cam Hanes, and Bill Winke are a more accurate representation of hunters than...

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    There definitely is. But as shown by post #47 in this thread, you're evidently compensating for something if your kill is visible to anyone else, so hitch racks are no go. We just can't win. In all seriousness though, with the amount of gear I use for that hobby alone I need a pickup or a...

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    Which reminds me, this is the first vehicle I've ever owned that has the 'real time' mpg displayed. I think it's always interesting (and sometimes makes you cringe) to see how a headwind/tailwind or net elevation gain/loss over a hundred miles affects the mileage you get.

    Well they responded almost as good as you could. 15-7 drubbing of your division rival and that score makes it look closer than it was. I think it was 14-1 at one point. It was like batting practice for a while. Was happy to see Duvall perform well (3 for 5 with a HR) after finally making it...

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    Not that you care, but fwiw some hobbies a pickup is nice. As a hunter, I'd rather keep dead critters in the back instead of riding shotgun back to my place.

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    I drive a 2018 ecoboost and the best I've ever seen on the "lie-o-meter" is 23.3 over the course of several hundred miles... wish I would've penciled that tank at the pump to see what it actually was. It has a 32 gallon tank and I've comfortably gone over 700 miles on a tank multiple times. I...
