That is a hell of a story. Thanks for posting it.

That’s a good point. I know when we rented a POD a few months ago when we were renovating our garage, the rep asked all sorts of questions.

A terrific phrase Paul

I think PODS always have to be on a person’s property because of liability issues.

Courtesy of Marc Myers, this is an amazing concert. It's a Dutch performance documentary on her concert with the Sweet Inspirations at Amstetrdam's Concertgebouw.

The problem is that he released info via Twitter instead of via through an 8-K (SEC form fo reporting significant or material information). The directors have hired outside counsel. It’s not the first time he’s run afoul of regulators. In addition, during an earnings call a month or two he was flip to banks, not the kind of people you want to annoy if you’re trying to raise funds for expansion or to take the company private.

I watched the end of the game. Tough one when you have the bases loaded and no one out.

Exactly, that is what you have to do. Those are the unwritten laws of the game. The Braves need to protect Acuña and I’m sure the Marlins would expect retribution the next time they play. The trouble is that the umpires will probably issue a warning and take it out of the hands of the players. I’m not sure I completely agree but be that as it may it’s a foreign concept too many pitchers. Not at all. It’s a question of not letting the batter feel comfortable. I don’t encourage head hunting but hitting someone in the backside can be effective. Pedro was good at this. He used to hit people and also back them off the plate. Sometimes, the thought that you might get hit can be just as effective as the real thing.

Yes, which is why he obviously got hit. I assume Urena will get a fine and asuspension. Generally, batters crowd the plate too much. The pitchers need to do something but batters fly off the handle even if you throw a bit inside. My team has a guy, Brandon Nimmo, who is always crowding the plate and, of course, he gets hit a lot. If pitchers can't pitch inside we're not going to have much of a game left.

Ditto.
