The Nationals did almost the same thing back in the fall. Good: ALL season ticket holders were eligible, not just those putting up for new tickets that day. Bad: you got two pitches, or one swing, whichever came first. Good luck getting comfortable enough to hit one out of the park under those conditions (no surprise,…

An actor friend of mine has been “late 30s Americanized Asian man” in at least a half-dozen commercials in the past couple years. He says it’s great work if you can get it.

Whoever asked about the $100M breast implants surely knows about this guy already, right? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2…

I make chili every year. This year I’m going green.

How about reducing the number of fouls to foul out to 5?

I am going to start a petition demanding that my favorite team bar the opposition’s ten best players from entering the stadium at every home game.

George Mason sure didn’t benefit from their move to the A-10. Sure, the CAA was a joke and rarely got more than one team in the tournament. But Mason was a top-three team in that league EVERY YEAR and made multiple NCAA tournaments as a result. But when VCU jumped to the A-10, Mason decided they had to keep up and…

Yeah, good thing I wasn’t in Vegas last week.

I’m with you on the Patriots-Broncos outcome. It is beyond me why the line on this game is only three points. Yes, the Broncos defense is very good, but I expect the Patriots to score at least 14 points off of turnovers. If I was in Vegas this week I’d be putting a large sum of money on the Patriots. (Thereby…

If you have these cartoons on hand, you can now play the Wile E. Coyote drinking game. Everybody picks one of these categories, and drinks whenever that happens to Wile E.

My kids (12 and 10) really enjoy 99% Invisible.

Fantasy player death nominee: in our league’s final last week (yeah, I know, have your final in week 16 not 17, whatever), one of the participants started Blake Bortles at QB. Bortles had a terrible week and went for -19 points.

End slice of bread = emergency hot dog bun.

Not to mention Strasburg was available to pitch “in an emergency.” What’s an emergency if not an elimination game?!? Hindsight is 20/20 and all, but I’d have loved to see Stras go out there and go nuts, throw as hard as he could, knowing he only had to get two outs.

Desmond’s almost certainly on his way out of DC regardless. He should have ignored the bunt sign and swung away.

I am having a slightly different problem. When I’m on the opposite side of my house from the wireless router, sometimes my phone will flat-out drop the wi-fi altogether. I’ll be sitting on my own couch and only figure out later that I burned through 40 MB of cellular data when I assumed I was on my wi-fi network.

I am still waiting for the compilation video of other major leaguers, who have not yet been deemed punks by CJ Nitkowski, showing frustration at hitting a pop-up before jogging to first.

The centerfield gate at Nationals Park has turned out to be a tremendous design flaw. About 90% of the crowd uses that gate, and it’s highly visible from the press box. So any time a lot of people leave early, it’s really noticeable, and visiting broadcast teams point it out every chance they get. It may not be that…

“And yet, this area remains chock full of mouth-breathers from Herndon who cannot abide going five seconds without talkin’ Skins.”

We got a minivan without the built-in DVD player, and instead got a portable version that we can strap to the back of the front-seat headrests. That way, it’s only for long trips (defined as 90 minutes or more) and the kids didn’t expect to watch freakin’ Dora when we were just going to the grocery store.
