They absolutely need some pitches to warm up and regain their grip on the ball. That's why you see pitchers when it's less than hot out go back to the dugout and put on a jacket. Pitching is hard enough on the body as it is, but if you force a pitcher to come out from a 15 minute half-inning cold, and immediately have

Serious question for the other guys here. Wouldn't it be easier and safer (since you can take a break from pedaling, or just use one pedal) to try to pee straight down parallel to the side of the bike instead of trying the over the leg maneuver? I think that's what I'd have to try.

You are a better person than me for not titling the article "American Car Buyers want the D!"

As a Braves fan that's seen 85% of their games for my lifetime, I must say, Simmons is one of my all time favorite players to watch, and if the Braves let him go at some point, I will be mad. He makes wonderful plays like this one, and subtle plays that most guys don't even think of.

Sorry you feel that some people are just out to get you, but if some restaurants switch to an automatic topping method, those people just won't go there, so it's a wash. I think tipping is a choice. If I dont do my job, I don't get paid. Sure you've got some assholes that wouldn't tip if you wiped their ass for them,

Please explain how it's clueless. If I'm running a business and find that the customers aren't satisfied. I want to find out why. And one of the reasons a lot of people aren't happy with a restaurant are bad food and terrible service. The best ways to improve service is to teach, work with the server, or give the

Sorry that I have to make it a hypothetical, I haven't spent any time doing a case study on the subject, just going from my experiences and those of friends in the business.

I'm going to assume you were a crappy server, based on your terrible (and all knowing) opinion of the way every restaurant in existence works. My friends that are servers here, I talk to them on this subject quite often. They ask me for financial advice (as that's what I do) and I talk to them about all this stuff.

I forget you know everything about everything. The servers I "stiff" are the ones that don't care. So please tell me how my experiences are wrong. If you're waiting on people that are bad tippers, then that's the luck of the draw, but as a whole, the people that get stiffed by customers that typically leave decent

Honestly, I spend more on drink tabs than food. 3 beers more than covers what I would normally eat.

I don't think it even has to be fine dining. As a family of 4, if you go out, you can expect $60 or so for a bill. 15% of 60 is $9. If you've got 5 tables and they all tip 15 (some will tip more, some less) you stand to make $45 in tips in an hour (approx. eating time). That's a hell of a lot better than what I make.

True, but you actually cared about your job. The servers that get stiffed on their tips are usually the ones that don't care. They're really not going to care if they are guaranteed money.

My dad and I used to have a weekly dinner at one restaurant. We'd walk in the door and before we could get from the line to the table, there were two sweet teas (one with straw), silverware, extra napkins, and a bottle of hot sauce at the table we liked. We definitely left a bit extra tip there.

Exactly! Cleaning those up (grinding them down and blending them into the natural belt line) would make a hell of a difference in my opinion of the price.

They've threatened to disallow the event in the past couple years. Normally there are police on site here, but that's one of the reasons I don't go anymore. To much of that nonsense.

The third one was a lazy putt, but I won't feel bad for him. I lip about 6-7 times a round every round. The guys I play with can't believe how often it happens to me.

You can drive a semi here in the states with a regular license, you just can't be paid for it.

I love seeing the speedo skip 25-30 kph because it can't keep up!

Whether he did or didn't, if he was smart he'd have joked it off talking with EA by saying something to the effect of "When I said I grooved one, I meant I was trying to throw something in the strikezone...Have you seen Jeter play? He can hit anything"

It's an unusual response and I quite like it. It's refreshing to see an executive being demonstrative about their frustration rather than sweeping it under the rug as is the typical. Calling Airbus out publicly like that may not be the most professional way to handle it, but he knows it will solve any future problems
