The lack of symmetry between the division names is bothering me far more than it should.

No, other people with no idea how finance works may also have this opinion.

San Antonio/Central Texas? Seventh largest metro population, fastest growing area in the US, locate between Austin and San Antonio and pull from both cities. No, No...Portland, Charlotte, Nashville, Montreal and random cities in Mexico. But yeah, more teams isn’t really the answer but no one wants to talk contraction.

Tyler Clippard is sporting a 54:16 K/BB ratio (in 45.1IP) on the season, with a 3.89 FIP on a 3.15 ERA. Pitching in the AL East, mind you, where he’s faced the Yankees or Red Sox in nearly 1/3 of his appearances (15 out of 48)

MLBTR lists him in the second tier of available rental relief arms (the top tier being…

Manfred wants Buffalo to market itself better first.

How dare you make me hope.

Punishment for “failing to safeguard a Department of Education computer” seems like the ultimate in ad hoc decisions.

No, this smells of sexual assault. Legally it may be a hard sell (or not, I really don’t know), but geeze... if a woman consented to a sexual encounter with another woman (blindfolded) and the strap-on play turned out to be a guy I don’t think there would be any doubt that she didn’t consent and a sexual assault…

‘blacked-out googles’

Man, Sacha Baron Cohen is really getting edgy.

When my Brother and I were kids (6 and 10, respectively), my parents decided to tell us that we were going to be making a 12 hour round trip to Vermont and back to buy a hand-made quilt. Being 6 and 10, the thought of being in a car for 12 hours to buy a fucking quilt sounded like absolute torture to us. And oh my…

I’ve said this before on one of your road trip things (and seriously, never stop writing them, they’re amazing and pretty well a play-by-play of my own life), but the best thing I’ve found is to drive overnight if possible. Is it hard? Hell yes! Does it increase the risk of an accident? Sure does! Does it make the…

So AI experts in North Korea, China, and Russia will be building these puppies, while the snowflakes in the West have promised not to? Yeah, that sounds like a win-win...

Re #1: Sometimes people can’t help themselves with a specific ex. You can put years between you and the event, even take a job in government to throw her off your trail, but then eventually, inevitably:

Criminal (not 1st Amendment) lawyer here- can anyone tell me whether this lawsuit is a creature unique to Alabama law or is this some novel tort theory that I slept through 24 years ago? It doesn’t feel like libel/slander/defamation, and my brain is in pain from trying to think of alternate theories. L’il help?

what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have…

Doesn’t John B. McLemore’s death negate claims to harm? Also, any of his remaining estate is likely worth more from the celebrity the podcast engendered. What are their damages? 

Also, euthanize your pets. They’re an incredible waste of resources.

Remind me again how that worked out at Standing Rock?

Be careful with cooking. One of the benefits of premade dog food is ensuring your dog gets all the nutrients and vitamins he needs to stay healthy. If you’re skilled in nutrition, it seems sensible to cook your own dog’s food.
