He’s talking about being on-site to breach the lock. A person needs to stand there and pick a lock/pry open a door/break a window, which people might see or hear. He doesn’t have to be on site to remotely unlock the door. He’s far less likely to draw attention if he simply walks through a (remotely) unlocked door.

The article does make that comparison. Breaking into a house with a traditional lock carries significant risk of detection. People notice when someone shatters a window, or stands there picking a lock, or busts down a door. You can see and hear those things, and it’s the sort of crime that tends to cause people to…
Well A) not everybody has those windows next to their door; I don’t for precisely this reason. And B) as the article mentions, the method you propose is very risky for the criminal and thus significantly less likely to happen. If anyone sees or hears someone shattering a glass window, or even just reaching through…
Wait a minute. Y’all are out there paying $8.84 per ticket? Man I gotta get out of the East Coast.
Much as I like trashing the Jets, I wouldn’t label Decker’s contract an overpay at all, much less an extreme one. Even with the god awful QB play they had, his average yards per game would put him on back for a little more than 1,000 in a 16-game season. And looking at the contracts that incredibly mediocre WRs got…
“I play a lot of pool!”
The 2004 Pistons are basically the answer to all of this. But that only proves your point. That weird-ass team was the exception, not the rule.
Minor correction: if Darvish signed elsewhere after a QO this offseason, the comp pick would be in the late 20s, not the 70s.

Your first sentence has nothing to do with the rest. There are no O’s fans who disagree with the rest; the problem is we don’t think we can keep him when he’s a free agent after next year. And if that’s true, then they should trade him, no matter how good he’s going to be.
It’s pragmatic, not apocalyptic. He’s a free agent after next season, and I think they have no shot at re-signing him. I also don’t think they have a plausible chance of winning the World Series next year. So if we’re not going to win with him, and we’re not going to be able to keep him long-term, I’d rather trade him…
Yes.
No, you’ve got it right. There’s no acid there. But if you can’t find the heroin, then you’re definitely looking in the wrong place.
But that’s assuming he will continue to straddle the Mendoza line down the stretch. What reason is there to think he will? Teams will assume his BABIP will regress to the mean, not continue to hover 70 points below his career average.
Manny’s value will only go down by waiting. A contender trading for him now gets two postseason runs instead of one. Nobody’s going to think they’ll get a significant discount just because he has a low BABIP. Everyone knows about BABIP luck by now, and his track record shows he’s, well, Manny Machado. Now is the time…
Well, given the double negative, I assume this is just a clever way of complimenting the fan base.
I was caught off guard by that too. Warriors, Rockets, Spurs all obviously remain ahead of them. T-Wolves are easily ahead of them now. For this year, the Thunder have to be as well. Then you have this group of Blazers, Jazz, Nuggets, Pelicans, Grizzlies duking it out for three spots. Maybe Utah comes out of there,…
See, it’s good to hear this perspective. For a guy who almost murdered his girlfriend in front of their son, he seems like a class act!
