If you don't like Tom Seaver, you don't like baseball.
The guy was the ultimate pro, nothing but class.

Tom Terrific's departure form the Mets had to be one of the biggest clusterfucks in baseball. The Mets and Seaver actually agreed to a contract (Imagine, Sever thinking he should be paid on a par with other starters, some nerve), but NY Daily News writer Dick Young poisoned the NY fans relationship with SEaver. Calling him "greedy" and blaming shit on Seaver's wife. The mets got tired of it and traded Seaver and Dave Kingman in the infamous "Midnight Massacre". It was a shame he couldn't pitch in the 1986 WS. He was a nice part the the Sox in '86

I have Tuesdays off from work and I pretty much watch Monk reruns all day on Sundance until 6, when I watch a Giants replay on the local Comcast channel.
Tonight, we've got a game against the Phillies from 2015. Based on all the replays I've watched so far, I'm gonna go on a limb and say the Giants are gonna win.

Except for the 1969 Mets

That or a stroke for me. A handful of years ago, I worked on this deal for a guy who sold his stake in a huge lumber supply company, basically sold out to his partner. Guy worked his ass off for 40 years, building the business, and was able to capitalize on what he had built. We worked on the deal for 4 months, longer than normal, and it was largely due to the attorney on the other side, who was a litigator and had no business working on a corporate deal (which is all I do). Anyway, we got to know each other pretty well during that time. The day after the closing, he ended up having a massive stroke that has rendered him speechless and largely immobile on one side. He's better now than he was, he can at least understand and can communicate what he wants for the most part, but after all that, he finally cashes out and then he gets to spend that money on paying people to wipe his ass for him for the rest of his life. I was really devastated when it happened, just a really cruel twist of fate. |

I was really devastated when it happened, just a really cruel twist of fate. At the one hospital we clean, an older gentleman comes up a pushes his wife around the halls in a cardiac chair for an hour. Tells her how his day went, gossip of the family and the neighborhood, what's going on in the world etc. He wife is no more aware of what he is saying than the chair. But he never misses a day and he will be lost when she dies. I hope no one ever has to do that to me. I get the most painful type of cancer, I'll be okay with it because I can end the pain when I want to. You can't reach a point with dementia where you can say 'that's enough"
Didn't this thread take a morbid turn
