Let me start by saying that I think you’re generally right about most of what’s being said in this argument.

Well especially not when they’re constantly being re-opened, every damn week that goes by!

Speak for yourself! MY crotchtangle is as strong as ever!

I’m with you. Also, Chastity Tuna would probably be better than Mustafa.

Eh. Maybe they’re tough with them on some issues, but until MLB insists on some form of standardized accountability in the next CBA negotiations, MLB’s going easy on ‘em.

How do you read something like that in your head WITHOUT applying the meter?

Looks like I’m not the only one that could use an explainer this time

It must be SO fucking satisfying to get the sort of reaction you’re getting to this comment. Bravo!

Yeah, perhaps “skewed” isn’t really appropriate here. Point taken.

No, this is exactly the sort of thing I was wondering about, and semi-expecting. I seem to have expressed that sentiment in a bit of a ham-fisted manner though. Thanks!

Right?! And, I know this is crazy, but hear me out... What if this professional blogger, with access to (probably?) more resources, and (certainly!) with more knowledge/awareness of such potential statistical measurements already having been established, could find and share such information with us reader-types?!

I was riffing on what Thompson said in his blog:

Yeah, it’s definitely not what I would have expected. I’m mostly just replying again now to say that I enjoyed the phrase “mouth happenings,” though.

Two possible takes on the bad teeth:

Lots of the “royal we” here. Isn’t it more likely that some people hate Duke, but most actually don’t, hence the higher viewership when they’re playing?

The bottom of Mr. Balls’ poop is me today

Seriously! And also: Duh! It’s because he’s the one doing all the goddamn work!
