    Liverpool 2022/23: We Go Again

    I'm already sick of reading how 4 losses in 63 games and 2 trophies is a lousy season. Disappointing end? Sure. But I personally couldn't have asked for any more effort and desire from anyone. Time to see for FSG handles the Salah negotiations, and what future holds for Mane and Firmino.

    Liverpool 2018-19: Alisson, I Know Lovren is Killing You

    Hearing a lot of talk about Fabinho coming in from Monaco, which would definitely provide some midfield protection for the back line. Keïta will move officially July 1st. Have to think another center back will be on the shopping list, there will continue to be plenty of Pulisic speculation, and...

    World Series Game 5: It's a Best of Three

    For all he talk about home-field advantage, both teams are 1-1 at home in the series. Kershaw goes in game 5 in Houston, but everyone knows that Verlander is going in game 6 in LA. Suddenly home field looks less important than matchups. Has Houston's momentum been reversed? Does momentum in a...

    World Series Game 4: Hopefully Free of Racist Gestures

    Gurriel faces a suspension next season, but is allowed to play the rest of the series. Wood vs. Morton. Astros still unbeaten at home. My hunch is the winner of this game wins the series.

    Windows 10 - Because it's too good to be called Windows 9

    Has anyone else downloaded the Technical Preview? I've got it running in a virtual machine, and after 5 minutes I already like it better than Windows 8. On a PC, it boots directly to the desktop, the Start Menu is back (although it's been tweaked a bit to add Windows 8-style tiles), and the apps...
