Jesus Woody, just be Woody again without the subterfuge.

Calling upon Jesus? You should look to someone you know and stop trying to impress the HS dropouts. Oh, and be speedy about it.

Just what do you mean by using the word subterfuge? When I read that, I think this:

subterfuge
If you want to surprise your mom with a sweatshirt, but don't know her size, it might take an act of subterfuge, like going through her closet, to find it out. Subterfuge is the use of tricky actions to hide or get something.
It's pronounced "SUB-ter-fyooj." As a countable noun, a subterfuge is a tricky action or device: She employed a very clever subterfuge to get the information she needed. Subterfuge is from French, from Old French suterfuge, from Late Latin subterfugium, from Latin subterfugere "to escape," from subter "secretly, under" plus fugere "to flee."

From the outside, such subterfuge looks like the worst kind of paternalism.

I remembered Mrs. Van Hopper's warning of the night before about putting myself forward, and was embarrassed that he might think my talk of Monaco was a subterfuge to win a lift.

Is it a sophisticated one, layered with direction and misdirection, subterfuge and secret identities, motivations both hidden and not, like the Agatha Christie yarns it supposedly pastiches?

And the fact that he can’t leads one to recall a track record of erratic behaviour: the affairs, the untruths, the subterfuges, the sackings for lying.

late 16th century: from French, or from late Latin subterfugium, from Latin subterfugere ‘escape secretly’, from subter- ‘beneath’ + fugere ‘flee’.

I am not particularly fond of the 16th Century French and prefer not to involve them in my manner of speaking and communicating in clear and concise TRUTH!

Holy hell, now Woody has taken over PBmax's account! PB, how many crunches you do this morning? What does Mae have to say about all this?

First three weeks of July are always rough on Packer fans. Brewers aren't doing too much to help distract us this year. Thick and cantankerous becomes the rule of the road.

I have beat reporters on Twitter lamenting about the effect the Brewers are having on radio hosts. Its quite touching.

That looks like broccoli and cheese.

[hoosier]

Agreed. The packaging leaves something to be desired, and the low res imagery doesn't help. I'm sure the product itself is delish, though.

2019 Brewers are a victim of their own unrealistic expectations. They forgot that bullpen success does not typically carry over from one year to another, especially not in these days of low pitching loads when everyone sits at 96 MPH till their elbows explode. And they trusted too much in Jesús.

Anyone wanna see my Cap'n Crunch seared tuna recipe? Probably belongs in Romper Room/Hot off the Grill thread, oh well.

[mraynrand]

Aye aye, Captain!

That looks absolutely disgusting. I'm gonna pick up a few boxes.

Also every call they made about the [strikethrough]rotation[/strikethrough] initial out getters except for Davies and Woodruff has blown up in their faces.

That's the whole lesson of contemporary baseball: unless your bullpen features Mariano Rivera, Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, and Tug McGraw, throw out last year's stats when looking at next year! I think Melvin and Counsell have done a good job, and the rebuild was by all accounts a smashing success. Maybe the one re-sign they should have done last winter and didn't was Wade Miley. The rest of the pitching, as I see it, is just the year to year unpredictability of modern pitching. Counsell has exploited the benefits of extending the bullpen; well, this is the down side.
