    I own a duplex that I bought when I first moved to Seattle and lived in half and rented out the other half. I now live about 10 minutes from it. I recently had to evict my renter of 6 years (with me...he came with the property when I bought it) because he got a settlements, got into drugs and...

    His best stat is that if you take only his assists, he still has more points than anyone else in NHL history. He has 1963 assists. Jagr is next with 1921 total points.

    Ah got it. I figured they'd look at outboard motors differently than trolling motors just due to the size and power of them.

    What about adding a trolling motor? Much smaller, likely doesn't change your registration and you can pop it on and off pretty easily. Something like this...

    MLB 2024: Rangers Conquer Texas, Then America

    Tough break for Contreras. I had seen somewhere that because pitchers are throwing so hard, batters are sitting further back in the box, which is why we're seeing more of these catcher interference issues. I see the FOH.org, just wanted to talk about what they're talking about. Also, this may...

    Sox sweep the Rays to double their win total. They're still trash, but they'll need some more of these type series to avoid being worse than the 62 Mets.

    MLB 2024: Rangers Conquer Texas, Then America

    I've been betting -1.5 for the Sox to lose for the last week or so. $100 a game, I'm up almost $500. My friends have been doing it for a couple weeks longer and are waaaay up. The books are starting to catch on and -1.5 isn't giving even odds most of the time.

    If they get outlawed in the states, they'll just switch the ingredient to what they use in Europe, something even cheaper that's not banned or raise the price. The snacks aren't going anywhere.

    You have a separate escrow account that accrues an added amount on your loan payment to cover the T&I. You're not paying interest on the escrow. Most loan companies either wont allow you to not pay taxes and insurance into an escrow or charge you extra on the loan if you opt out of it.

    They give up less than the league average of shots against, take less penalties than the league average, so i'm not sure you can pin it on the defense. The team this year is way different than last year. The balanced scoring they had is gone and the team is much more defensive minded. That...

    Gru is a weird case, because his base stats are ok. His GAA is under 3, his save percentage is just under 900. Those both show that he's not terrible, but not great. However, once you dig into his advanced metrics, he's giving up an extra 1/4 of a goal per game above expected. For a team...

    I really don't understand the all the sudden hype on JJ McCarthy. My wife is a Michigan Alum so we watched quite a few games last season. He wasn't the reason Michigan was good. Look at his stats near the end of the season. He mostly handed the ball off with an occasional short pass. His...

    Hard to tank with someone who can go on a scoring binge like he can. Also the previous GM ruined him on the Hawks and he needed a fresh start.

    There's also SMA products out there that will loss harvest for you. Full disclosure, I work for one of the firms that provides SMAs. They've come down significantly in price to where they don't charge much more than an index fund. The catch with most of them though is that you have to use an...

    The other thing to be careful with is if you had any products in your Merrill accounts that are proprietary or wont transfer to LPL. There may be some assets you'll have to sell then the cash is transferred. That can cause some taxes for you especially with how the market has been up the last...

    Supposedly the Bears had a better offer, but chose to give Fields the best opportunity to compete. Who knows if it's true or not, but players remember that while negotiating contracts and when going after free agents. Ok the linking isn't working but just google bleacherreport...

    He's been crushing the ball this spring, but for Eloy injuries are always a factor. That being said, I think he's supposed to be a full time DH this year, so there's a better chance he stays healthy.

    Went to the game. It was great. Kraken 7-1-2 in their last 10 and back over 500. If they didn't have 9 OT/SO losses, they'd be in a wildcard spot right now.
