Perhaps more than any other sport, the sheer sample size of a baseball game, of the baseball playoffs, of the regular season, make this one game completely insignificant from a statistical point of view. You can do everything right: draft the right guys, put in the right mix of veterans and younger players, hire the…

Came here to say that. When I first moved to Knoxville my neighbor told me I had to try the pizza place in the strip mall across the road.

Racism is the default position of the ignorant and the way Darvish handled the situation was money, you learn alot about people in situations like that.

Last guy, D. What the fuck! Isn’t the whole point of going out that everyone can get what they want?

Rules. People hide behind rules so they don’t have to take responsibility for their decisions. You go far enough up the ladder someone can wave any rule in the book- the Sabbath was made for man- not man for the Sabbath.

Also pretty sure that was a claw hammer.

This. I got the Timbuk2 “Ultimate Carry-On” or whatever it was called a few years back and I can pack clothes, toiletries, etc. for a week, plus laptop, Kindle, and various chargers, with room for little stuff as well. Fuck checking bags, fuck overhead bins, except for coats.

Yeah, right. If he was so good ten years ago, then how come he’s not on the Cavs?

You fucking kidding me? You have a chance to use the alliteration at the beginning of “Houdini” and the phrase “Whodiedinhere” and you bring that lazy shit into the paint?

That all said I don’t travel all that much, so if I were a frequent flyer say every week or so, I probably wouldn’t be checking luggage ever.

In a similar vein...I meant to steal this from Twitter long enough ago that I don’t remember who tweeted it, but the gist was: The only things Orwell got wrong were that we’d install the cameras ourselves, and that our biggest fear would be that no one was watching.

Get a load of this snitch!
