A Realistic View at 2020: Part I

Mrs. Harmony must be just like Mr. Harmony.

 

Or not...

[Slasher9]

Or not...

 

hahahaha. well played. +2 points.

[harmony]

thats insane

I sometimes worried that my daughters might not handle conflict and yelling well in the outside world because they were not exposed to conflict and yelling at home ... but they seem to be doing well in their 20s (even with the screaming by my younger daughter's college coach).

She's Dr. Harmony (and does not share my last name).

My first wife and I never had an argument for the first 3 years of our relationship.

[jad]

Yes, especially those from a cheap shot.

My parents never raised their voices. Ever. And I never had a problem handling conflict. (And as for those a-hole coaches, I'm sick of seeing fat, loser coaches yell at kids to the point of abuse, something they seem to do at all levels, from college down to sub-PeeWee leagues. What I find stunning is watching a group of parents sit passively on the sidelines while one of these pompous, unathletic a-holes abuses their kids in public. Not much you can do in these situations, since calling them out will mean you will have kids, coaches, and parents all ganging up against you. But I do report it to the AD or the rec league, and occasionally, mirabile dictu, that will get results.)

That you call her “first wife” doesn’t support this behavior as a key to a harmonious relationship...

[Bellhorn04]

Yeah, it sounds kind of ominous with regard to what happened next...

[moonslav59]

Exactly. Had we had an argument before marriage, I may not have ever said, "yes."

Psychopath s*** right here.

It's been a boring winter. At least last year, we had the JD signing looming in our minds.

i think you are missing a year moon.

[notin]

i think you are missing a year moon.

 

2018-19 and 2019-20 can and should all be lumped into one giant boring off-season.

 

Actually, this year we have added Martin Perez, Jose Peraza, and Kevin Plawecki (The "Killer P's). Last year, the big off-season addition was Colten Brewer....

As you get this old, they all sort of blend together!

So, already Bloom > DD (2018-2019 winter version)

The hindsight jury will have the last say on that, of course.

True 'nuff, but neither did or has done much to build up some depth with cheap signings.

Dombrowski made a few last year for the first time in his career. Not one of them panned out, but I don't fault him for that part. He did try...

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

"The Killer P's"

 

... made me laugh; killing our interests or soon to be killing the team and thus our braincells?
