. . . and I hate it.

I think your quarrel is with the rule and not the replay. The replay just improves the umpire’s ability to enforce the rule. If the league wants to change the rule, fine, but I bet most people prefer a bright-line test: if you come off the bag and you are tagged out, then you are out. The alternative — some kind of…

Students and teachers at virtually every level, many bank employees, employees at certain professional firms (I have friends at other law firms who are off today, but not I).

Public service announcement: I know there are a lot of Dodgers fans locally, and no one begrudges you the right to root for your team, but don’t be stupid out there tonight. Because I guarantee you some Mets fans will be. It is going to be electric and so, so much fun, but let’s keep it kosher. The important thing is…

As a huge Mets fan, I think a more fitting punishment would’ve been to require the Dodgers to play Utley every inning the rest of the way.

To clarify, that’s exactly what I meant: I am not asking whether you should make the poor schmo behind the counter do it for you, I am just polling to see where others come out on whether it makes the burger better or not to lift up the bun, layer some fries in there, return the bun, and chow down. This debate has…

Will, settle a debate, will ya? Fries on the burger: makes it better or just a gimmick? Feel free to distinguish between McD and BK in your answer if necessary (hint: it is absolutely necessary).

I think the single worst quality a female person can display is refusing to appreciate the difference between high def and regular def on my new TV.

You’re right. My bad. Pirates were 2 and Cubs were 3. It’s early.

I disagree. This year’s fluke (the three best teams in baseball are all in the same division!) notwithstanding, it is a perfect balance. Look, under the old system, the Pirates would not have been in the playoffs at all this year. And, absent even further creep towards an NBA-type scheme in which the regular season…

This is the most correct thing on the internet right now. I have had an axe to grind with Jay Horowitz forever.

I get it, Barry, I do. LOLMETS and all that. But how is “blow[ing] it up” on the Mets and not on the fact that they have a zillion beat reporters following them around and dissecting every little thing? He wasn’t there. The reporters could see that. What the hell are Alderson and TC supposed to say? These things get…

Fortunately for Ted Danson, his plane tickets to Tempe were refundable.

Apparently, he was stuck in traffic.

I still see this shit in my sleep.

Dee Gordon is so fast that by the time you send him a text, he has moved on to a new number.

He wants to play until he is 50.

“Celebratory cork” sounds a lot like what the wife calls my b-day around here.
