How is someone being fired from a job not a consequence?

I don't see how it can be said that there were no consequences. Their manager and GM were both suspended and then fired. Manfred explained that he did not punish individual players because he did not want to deal with grievances from the MLB players association. I think he knew that any grievances would mess up multiple teams that had signed Astros players in free agency.

This was the best episode so far. This show certainly doesn't shy away from depressing shit. The death in the carjacking was horrible, only to be followed up later by the death of that teenage kid. I felt terrible for Kevin having two people die on him in one episode. His face really showed how he was completely spent. I also liked the last scene with the mother. The actress who played the mother was so good.

Piper Gilles looked stunning in that dress, and they flowed so well from one element to the next. I especially love their twizzles. I think the scores were in some respect a reward for the overall beauty of the program. I am excited to see them in more competitions this year.

I have never met a couple who competes over everything. It's not funny or cute. There's no way that a woman as small as Bailey would eat a gigantic stack of pancakes. HATE Bailey. I am tired of shows where a character has a a secret ex that their significant other never knew about. This is used all the time on TV dramas. If you have been engaged before, your husband or wife generally knows about it. Wesley and the "ex" had zero chemistry. I also cannot believe that Wesley's ex girlfriend was able to manipulate the DA's office so easily. That bright red hair on that actress was ridiculously fake looking. I did not understand why Chen didn't return Tim's radio. She was such a smug jerk. Shouldn't they be past that point now?

The actress who plays Powell looks more like Lina Esco. The cynical part of me thinks they figured that casual viewers and those who multitask when watching TV (which is common now) might not realize that it's not Esco. Of course, the Powell character is not in a romance with Street, but people who watch this show for generic law enforcement drama or background noise might not notice or care.

My understanding is that the bats were banned because they can splinter easily, not because they give a competitive advantage. It's hard to see how a shattered bat helps any player.

It's natural to wonder if Tom Brady's divorce is about football. However isn't it possible that, after he retired and was at home, they realized that they had grown apart? It happens a lot and is a common reason for people to divorce after a life transition. Look how many people file for divorce right after their kids graduate high school. Whatever is going on with him, I hope that he can move forward and find a way to make this a winning season. They are on second place in the division, so things are not over for the Bucs.

The story was creepy. A lifeguard instructor intentionally drowning people makes no sense. No one noticed these suspicious drownings before? I would love to know where they are going with Rollins and Carisi. I liked Finn's gift to Rollins. Rollins seemed in a better place mentally this episode. If she's getting better, why will she leave. Mariska Hargitay looked really beautiful in this episode.

Some have proposed the Astros as a landing spot for Boone if he gets fired. Aaron Boone and Dusty Baker are friends. Dusty knows everyone after 50 years in MLB. I feel like the Yankees organization must be a horribly stressful place for managers. I got stressed out just watching Aaron Boone on TV.

What is with the ability for people on this show to attack people and assume their identity? It is very lazy writing. It's convenient that Ashley is so lacking in commitment that she was willing to dump Tim because he could be in danger as a cop. This whole time, it never occurred to her that Tim could get shot until an old injury came up? How stupid. I did not buy Chen as a sergeant, even for one day. I am still not in on the Chen/ Bradford thing because of the romantic development being based on undercover action as a fake couple. Also, the age difference between the characters makes it odd. Lucy acts like a twentysomething, and it just does not work with Tim's cranky middle aged guy demeanor.

This is true. I don't see how she will grasp tax or bankruptcy if she had a hard time passing the test on the fundamental first year subjects. Someone who takes multiple tries to pass any test required for a law license will probably also need multiple tries for the bar exam, and statistics show that the chance of passing are lower with each successive attempt on a bar exam. In July 2021, test takers from unaccredited institutions only had a 38 percent pass rate on the CA bar. Test repeaters from unaccredited institutions had an 8 percent pass rate.

I really like Dusty. I want him to get the ring as a manager. For me it goes back to when he was in DC and was let go by the Nationals. It made me hate the Nationals ownership. Dusty was so happy when he was hired in Houston, and I want his time there to have the best ending. I am also a native of Houston, and I root for the Astros, despite not living in Texas for 20 years. Even as an Astros fan, I found the first two games extremely boring. Pitching battles don't make good TV. It will be interesting to see if Gerritt Cole can get a win for the Yanks.

The Wells and Danielle kiss from Bachelor in Paradise 2017...

I remember it, too. He gave her a very long goodbye kiss that looked romantic, but he talked about her like they were just friends. Made me wonder if she had hooked up with Wells in Nashville. I guess this won't be brought up since Wells is married now.
