"Silvino Bracho" is a low-level associate of the Soprano crime family who gets off-handedly whacked in an otherwise boring episode.

This is hate speech. There are no boring episodes of The Sopranos.Originally Posted by MadduxFanII
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Twins make two second-tier deals, one of which might show their hand a bit.
They trade 3B Gio Urshela to the Angels for a minor league pitcher (19-year-old RHP Alejandro Hidalgo). Twins' announcers just couldn't stop gushing over Urshela all season long. He's a grinder which always seems to curry favor with a segment of the fans. The move allows Twins to move Jose Miranda from 1B to 3B. Urshela was a non-tender candidate, so the Twins got something for him although I find the Angels an odd destination given the Angels investment in Rendon.
Twins turn around and obtain SS/2B/3B Kyle Farmer from the Reds for minor league pitcher Casey Legumna, a RHP who was the Twins' 8th-round pick out of Gonzaga in 2019. Twins insist they are going to make the highest contract offer in team history to try and bring back Correa and the acquisition of Farmer at least indicates they want some measure of back-up plan. If Correa signs elsewhere (likely), Royce Lewis has been penciled in as the starter, but after two major knee surgeries, there may be some question if that has impinged his mobility to the point he can't effectively field the position. Jorge Polanco has played SS, but is not very good there. Farmer at least gives them some flexibility.
Reds basically swapped out Farmer (going to the Twins) for Kevin Newman (coming in from the Pirates for RHP Dauri Moreta).

Oh, don't try and tell me you found the Just A Dream episodes exciting.

I'll have to admit that as compelling as the first few seasons were, I lost interest after Pussy became a talking fish.
Do we sign Brooks Conrad to play SS yet?
The last couple seasons of that show are slow as heck. IMO one of the most overrated shows ever. It was great at first and just got boring.
Like the walking dead? Great first few seasons, and now it's unwatchable
Upon rewatch, the final few seasons get better as you rewatch.
This is my 4th time through the show.

I loved the Walking Dead. Haven’t been able to watch for a while. I liked Negan a ton but everything else sucked after his first season or two
Meh
I thought the first season of TWD was slow. The farm season up through the governor stuff was good. It started to slow down after that. I like the Negan character from the comics and the actor they have for him is good but overall that story started to get old. I mentally checked out when Rick left and stopped watched all together when Carl died.

I kept watching. It wasn’t bad and i liked some of the new characters and story lines that last couple of years. Interested to see what the Rick and Michonne spin-off and the negan spin-off will be like. Darryl has one too.
Will those spin offs be pre-WD?
I just wish MLB's off-season wasn't so painstakingly slow.
Looks like the Rick and Michonne series will follow their search for each other while they were gone during the show. The Negan/Maggie and Darryl series will be after the current season timeframe.
Get off my lawn!
Yes. Negan and Maggie show is set in NYC and the Darryl show was originally supposed to be him and Carol but she needed a break and backed out. That show is somehow set in Paris. How the hell he got there, who knows.
I just figured out the other day that I was in attendance at 2022 NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt's last minor league game. He was a member of the Mobile Bay Bears back in 2011 and Mrs. 50# and I were doing a road trip through the South and a Mississippi Braves' game was a destination. Braves lost 5-3.
Mobile had a pretty good squad with Jarrod Parker pitching that night and A.J. Pollock on the team as well.
M-Braves were a bit of a motley crew. I remember being impressed with OFs Willie Cabrera and Cory Harrilchak and speedy OF Antoan Richardson did actually spend some time with the Braves later that season. Ed Lucas who later spent some time with the Marlins was also on the team.
Yeah, it's awful. Basically have a few signings a week smh.

Nfl is so much better at marketing their sport. The draft, FA signings, and schedule release are all getting a crap load of people following. Mlb slow plays everything
