My rough calculations:

to the regular ol’ Nissan dealer, whose primary role is to tell people that the weird droning noise in their 2014 Altima’s CVT transmission is normal operation.

Panera but like 10% nicer.

“for the cosmic features” is a phrase that will make me giggle forever. I want to start working it into conversations.

It’s telling that her Mortal Kombat strategy is just like her MMA strategy: find one technique they can’t stop and do it over and over again. She cares not for style points; just winning.

You can see his back wheel slide out when he slams the brakes hard a moment before the crash. But yeah, at that point it was already too late to make the turn in any circumstance.

I’ve heard of the tactic of merely saying the words “runny eggs” to a hungover person to make them wanna throw up.

She no like-a da fresha peppa because she like-a the juice instead. The juice is good, eh?

His parents’ faces! Ooof the emotion behind the stoic facade.

I file him in my mental rolodex along with Nomar Garciaparra, Hanley Ramirez, Brandon Webb....guys who were on a Hall of Fame track for their first 4 or 5 years before falling apart. (Actually, Nomar had 6 stellar years but still, same fate.)

I imagine them all saying “FLACCO RULES” then driving off a cliff together.

But really, what isn’t propaganda? Anyone presenting an opinion can be called a propagandist.

1) Memory recognition is much easier than memory recall
2) You’re older now and it’s harder for your brain to retain new things
3) There just happens to be a lot of hall of famers and all-stars on this list
4) A current roster is more likely to have guys that haven’t haven’t made their name yet. A roster from years ago,…

Eddie Taubensee sighting! When I was 9 years old in 1991, I got him to autograph a baseball at a AAA minors game. It was the first collectible like that I’d ever gotten, and so my naive youthful self followed his career for years, thinking that if he became a great player, it’d be worth lots of money.

I’m a Cubs fan too, but no way is Aramis Ramirez Hall of Fame worthy. He falls into the Mark Grace category - “Hall of the Very Good” or “Hall of the Good for a Long Time.”

Interesting, I was wondering why a guy from Yale business school claimed he knew more about experimental procedure than an engineering & scientific consultant firm.

“Looked like a strike to me.”

Walk, hit by pitch, sacrifice, drunk driving accident. The Cardinal cycle.

Frank Thomas was transcendent for 7 seasons, but average-to-good for the rest of his career. Tony Gwynn was one of the best singles hitters of all time, but his batting title rivals did other things to acquire more value than he did, like George Brett (lotsa dingers) or Wade Boggs (lotsa walks). And neither Thomas nor…

He should be a no-doubter by advanced stats. Fortunately, if he plays 2 more full seasons he’ll get 3000 hits (at 2697 now) and even the geezers will vote him in.
