If only they could figure out how to sell brown, manual wagons with AWD or RWD for <$2500 a piece, they’d make a fortune.

No more Fusion, Focus, Fiesta...the root of the problem is that Ford is simply running out of Fs to give.

The infield fly rule only comes into effect when there are runners on first AND second [Edit: and fewer than two outs]. Which means there are two runners caught in the “do I run and get doubled off, or do I stay and get forced out” trap. The batter is not in that trap since he can only get forced out.

I agree you can’t really call it an ER. It needs a sui generis statistic, to emphasize the shame of it:

(D) - Disgraces self by being unable to carry out basic actions [such as dropping an ordinary ball while standing there and then being absolutely dumbfounded by it] that allows a run to score.

He swapped out that hat for a bowler in the third inning so that the fedora would still be fresh in August.

I don’t have a problem with this. That kid was a little shit.

Real drivers start in 4th.

The Mets are 12-3, -and the Nots were due. Not sure this game was worth all the ink.

I’ve driven manuals since my second car (1984 Mazda B2000). My first car was a 1977 Grand Prix (400 V8, but a slushbox). After the B2000, the timeline goes: 84 Supra/wife’s 84 RX7 > 97 Ranger/wife’s 97 Eclipse GS > 00 Protegé x2. These were all manuals. Then I had kids and sacrificed my third pedal for a series of…

Yep.

It’s like I don’t know you at all.

That’s a great image. In my brain I added in a twelver of The Champagne of Beers tucked under one arm, but maybe he stops at first instead? There’s a quote of his from years back, too lazy to google it, but the gist is “I’m just a Miller Lite man, always have been, ever since I was ten.”

The proper counter is to hatchet-throw the bat at the opposing pitcher, kick the catcher backwards, pick up the ball and run from third to first to home to second. This unlocks unlimited-dingers mode.

Uh, at least it’s a long bed. (Looking at the positive)

Counterpoint:

Eh... even if it didn’t serve any purpose, what’s wrong with having a grill simply for design aesthetics? Why must function trump form at all times?
