Belated Merry Christmas (federally observed). I confess the holidays got the better of me. Not much afoot, but let's see what we can see.
School of Roch: Who's batting first for the Orioles? The long goodbye of Brian Roberts continues.

Red Sox add Bob McClure, Alex Ochoa to coaching staff | HardballTalk I concur with Aaron Gleeman: it's kind of weird seeing Alex Ochoa ascending to the ranks of coach.
On this day in 1995, the AP names Cal's consecutive game streak the most significant sports story of the year over the death of Mickey Mantle.
Happy Birthday to Jeff Stone, Jim Traber and Storm Davis. Davis and Traber were both born in '61. It is also the birthday of Mario Mendoza, of Mendoza Line infamy.

I've been trying to come up with an Orioles 12 Days of Christmas.
Here’s what I have so far on the second day:
Two failed sac bunts
and a light-hitting backup 2B.

I am expecting a song about a bad team, yes.
I’ve already settled on “seven swinging strikeouts”, but that’s getting a little ahead of myself.

I was originally going to have the five just be "MATT WIETERS", because why not?
But I think I like yours better.

So I got an off brand, bluetooth wireless keyboard to go with the iPad
It came with no instructions, nothing whatsoever except the keyboard. It has a connect button and I’ve turned bluetooth on in the iPad settings, but nothing’s happening. Any ideas? I have no experience with Bluetooth.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

there's typically a password you need for initial connection
unfortunately, the password is usually found in the instructions. but the password is usually something really generic like 0000.

iPad's not even recognizing the Bluetooth and asking for a password

if the ipad doesn't even "see" the bluetooth
that suggests that either bluetooth is not working or is not turned on.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
or the bluetooth function on your ipad is broken.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
sometimes you need to make sure that the device is communicating
Or else the Ipad won’t see anything even if your device is on.
@sibsinExile
Do you see a Bluetooth symnbol in the upper right of the iPad?
If not, your BT isn’t functional on the iPad.
If it is, go into settings, go to General=>Bluetooth (if it’s like the iPhone, which I think it is) and if Bluetooth is already on, see what devices it is locating.
Now the obvious stuff, just to double check…
Is there any time of on/off or power switch on the keyboard?
Does it take some sort of keyboard macro to activate the bluetooth on the keyboard?
How is it powered, and is it charged/have fresh batteries?

50 $ J Crew Card again.
Thoughts? I was thinking of getting a nice sportcoat 50 bucks off. I only ever shop their sale, so I don’t really know what is good.

but...
they still have a lot of stuff on sale, yeah?
for day to day, i love their cords. the basic lamb’s wool crewnecks and merino v necks are damn good. last i saw, they had a good deal on their navy wool university coats. i think both lined and unlined were 129.99 w/ discount.

My brother and I each got a nice shawl collar sweater. they're cozy as fuck.
I also got an oxford shirt that’s real soft.
Tommy hunter still sucks!
No, but you do have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that a wrist injury has no correlation to a brain injury.

I think you need to learn what a metaphor is
No, they have no correlation. That’s not what he’s saying. He’s saying that no matter what part of the body you injure, repeatedly injuring it is going to cause problems. He’s not saying the severity of the two injuries are equivalent.
I know what a metaphor is.
But the way he phrases it makes it sound like the two are at least somewhat equatable. By saying things like “a little bit” and taking the whole quote in context it sounds like he is playing it down way too much.

got a 100 dollar kindle card.
I have bought one book, but I am thinking of buying myself a hookah with the remaining funds. thoughts?
That's a ridiculous sum to put down on a hookah.
