Anyone watch Justified? Thinking about checking it out based off reviews.
very very good.

Raylene Givens and Boyd Crowder (the 2 main characters- Timothy Oliphaunt and Walter Goggins)- are some of the best characters in TV history.

Its just a fun show to watch.

Good one I have to go back and finish. Timothy Oliphant from Deadwood. He’s great in Justified. But also…if you haven’t done Deadwood yet it’s better than Justified so start there. If you have seen Deadwood then I would like to say “have a wonderful evening you fuckin cocksucker”. If you haven’t seen Deadwood don’t be offended…it’s a thing in that show.
if you were a character in Deadwood you would end up as pig shit from Mr. Wu's pigs. ;)

Hell no. I would have been back East living in civilization and would have never set foot in Deadwood if I were a contemporary of that time.

if anyone is looking for a really good pod-cast- Lex Friedman on spotify had a former CIA officer named Andrew Bustamante a couple weeks ago. Really great stuff.

I do not want to jinx it- but looks like the Twins are gonna lose and Guards have a 2-0 lead.......

if those hold Guardians will take a 3 game lead in the division- the biggest their lead has gotten for the entire year thus far.

7 games with the Twins in September. Should be a lot of fun.

The rotation is really rounding into shape. Quintrell has looked good lately. Civale looks healthy and on point for the first time all year lately. Bieber and McKenzie have been on fire lately. Add that Karinchak and Clase are LIGHTS Out in the 8th and 9th and the pitching is playing very well right now.

Guardians pitching staff is top 10 in baseball despite playing the most doubleheaders in the Major Leagues since 1985.

Really- that is pretty under-rated. All the rainouts, and the youth of the team and they have handled that adversity well. They have had some stretches that would throw any pitching staff for a loop- playing 7-8 games in a week on multiple occasions.

best part is- that this team is only at the beginning of a new window.

May need a new one soon (I'm actually rewatching Breaking Bad). what's it about?
How to put this....

Its the love child of the movies Catch me if you can, Goodfellas that are Amish, Training Day, Die Hard , Heat and Hackers....with Gangster Native Americans.

I bullshit you not.

Believe it or not, it works oh so well.

Oh, man.

I have loved Goggins since the Shield.

Dude really blew me away in Sons of Anarchy.

Pun intended.

Lol

I remember trying to describe it to some friends. At some point I'd have to stop and say..."I know it sounds confusing, but trust me, it all works and is actually easy to follow". Lol

Stephen, sandlin and Hentges have been damn good out of pen, as well.

No doubt a pleasant surprise and despite the penny pinching of ownership this FO is elite.
