Nice work, Tom. That was a savage takedown.

I’m stealing this gif for future use.

Whelp, looks like I can finally give this game a go. Been on my list a long time.

$54 million in dead money for Brees last year? That’s so bad even the Jets are laughing about it.

Because it had a counting record set for the first time in the longer season, and because it was an expansion year where the pitching talent throughout the league was lower than usual because it takes a few years for the pitching to catch up after expansion.

We, as baseball-loving people, should probably stop injecting baseball with ever-shifting hand-wringing morality, and try to enjoy it more. They freaked out when Maris broke the record, they freaked out when Bonds broke the record, and they’ll freak out if Stanton breaks the record.

OK, I guess pendantically you’re right. Instead Frick did this:

Nah, I think the ratio would worsen. The rate was so high it’s logical to think it would go down with more at bats.

There is no “wrong” or “right” here. Baseball screwed up the PED issue so badly for years that they’ve lost all standing to be on the “right” side of this. They milked that McGwire/Sosa chase mercilessly. They don’t get to wring their hands over Bonds now.

At the time, breaking the record in 162 games was seen as “unfair.” Ford Frick was the commish and he put an asterisk on the mark! It’s hard to overstate how much of a big deal it was to break Ruth’s record.

Number is skewed a bit because of the vast number of walks he got (177 that year, holy hell).

There is no “clean” HR record, really. Maris’ 61 was set in an expansion year and with a 162 game season. Bonds was set in the PED era. Ruth played against only white players, plus god knows what Ruth was on, besides hot dogs, hookers, and scotch.

He then later quoted Kant: “Go Raiders!”

Damn, you’re right, I’ve been mixing up the two here.

It’s refreshing to see it in BRG instead of Italian red like all the others. I really love the color on this car.

Jesus, that was an AWFUL typo. Holy shit.

I’m actually looking forward to seeing what the Jags defense does to Indy. If the Rams can destroy them....ooh boy, the Jags might really have a party.

Bortles is our new Eli Manning level nemesis!

Like I said, because the Volt alone won’t fit all my needs.

Here’s the deal, though: if I had an electric I’d really need a second car for trips of 300+ miles roundtrip when we go see my in-laws. It’s just far enough away that an electric wouldn’t really be practical.
