If you're in the northeast corridor or parts of California. But it will take you 20+ hours to get from NYC to Chicago. He could drive much faster.

DC is a sports crazy town that's dying for a good team. They love the Redskins, despite every reason not to, and they really try to like the Caps, although they keep getting let down by them too. But it's a town of sports fanatics — yes, most are transplanted and many retain their out-of-town sports allegiances but…

And getting a hit or a HR is great... but it's better when you do it at an opportune time, like when there are people on base ahead of you. There is a difference between players who hit lots of homeruns and players who help their team score a shitload of runs. Valuing the RBI stat rewards players who hit a triple that…

If he was a Yankee, you'd have a point. And you do have a larger point. At some point some arbitrary distinction does have to be made about how to value a player as "best" and ultimately, there is going to be no formula to do it.

IF anything my argument involves incredibly subjective and wishy-washy standards. Nothing arbitrary. It's arbitrary to say we can only consider pitchers who have made 20 wins, or who have the most strikeouts or the lowest ERA.

Yeah, and I wouldn't mind if Dickey won... He certainly couldn't have done more for the Mets... I'm just not sure that makes him the best pitcher.

It's seriously NOT an awful argument... it's an argument against giving players awards based purely on statistics. After all, it's an award for the best pitcher in the league, not the pitcher with the best statistics. Lots of things that are hard to measure in statistics should be considered.

I understand the argument that "he did so much, and clearly by himself" BUT, but I think an effective counter is: but it doesn't matter because he's on a dogshit team. He didn't lift the team up, he was the one person who did his job. Gio Gonzalez did his job and played a key role in helping his team become a…

Try again. I think it's timing out because of heavy use. It provides great responses to your queries.

My favorite part is when it says "The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review" and then they list all of the applicable rules, which, if you read them, support a Packer's interception.

Not with that attitude. Seriously. That's the whole point of the project — to inspire. To make you think of ways to get the project paid for, not reasons to not pay for it.

I felt like from the first pitch there was some sense of bad blood... Harper ALWAYS plays hard, but it seemed like he was running on that triple with a little more "fuck you" than usual, and while his run at home for the first score was a flat-out awesome play that represents how aggressive all ball players should be,…

He grows on you. I've become quite fond of him. It's like drinking Diet Coke — it tastes terrible, but after a few cans you can't imagine soda without that strange, offensive aftertaste.

I watched on TV and was dying to know what it was. On TV they implied that he was unhappy that Porter was giving the green light... which A) sounds like a totally pussy thign to shout about B) is obviously the G-rated version.

Correct. Properly grown and seasonally sourced foods have higher nutrient contents.

seriously, nobody bothers to go road NHL games anymore, much less battling ogresses from Toledo for their team...

I'm just boggled by the idea that people cared that much about minor league hockey — I mean, I remember it used to be a thing to care about, but now it's all kiddie nights and car dealership contests... can't imagine anyone calling a bomb threat over a minor-league sports playoff.

If they cared enough to have you taken to a crematorium and paid several thousand dollars to be cremated and then be given your ashes to keep... yes, they would care. And so, the tens of thousands of people who had their loved ones sent to this crematorium were very upset — at the very least because they had probably…

What would probably be most shocking about that story is the frequency with which those things happen. That is hardly an isolated incident. There was a crematorium in NH that was just shoveling multiple bodies into the oven and just returning random ashes to people. The jig was up when someone looked in the urn and…

So, how is this different from Amazon Prime streaming video? It's limited by what shows the networks are willing to make available, but there's already a very wide selection and many of the shows are up-to-date... some of them you have to pay unreasonable amounts of money for, but again, that's an issue with the…
