Great weather, Miami??? Sure if you like hot and humid. And you better, cuz that's all you're getting.

Yup. I'm An Old and have no probs with this.

I wouldn’t be able to communicate with most of my friends with those sorts of rules. Lots of ones where I live have vastly different schedules to mine, and my family is all overseas.

Why not?  I haven’t heard a single golf fan who isn’t cheering for him.  For our generation, Tiger is golf.

Right?  She’s still so young.

I don’t actually know who this person is as I don’t have kids, but why is it bizarre?  A lot of older performers market their work towards very young children.

They can’t strike and they can’t collectively bargain in Texas.  It’s not a union in any meaningful sense of the word.  Dipshit.

Lol, a union member, in Texas????  I don’t think so.

The stated issues with the deal were amorphous, with Rubio targeting the provisions requiring teams to pay fees to FCB teams and requiring Cuban citizens to pay Cuban income taxes on their MLB salaries. “The regime will impose a new income tax on the players earnings,” Rubio tweeted, “even though the income is being…

Gotta be slow as hell, I imagine

I still can’t figure out why y’all care if a player is overpaid or not.  It’s not like that money comes out of your pocket, and if the team has that money available they’ll spend it on someone who performs better.  All teams are making tons of money regardless. 

To-go isn’t typically done in Japan for leftovers and is never done for ramen.  Leaving the portion you didn’t finish is fine, no need to clean your bowl completely.  At some places like Jiro Ramen, you’d be hard pressed to finish it anyway.

Yeah, I meant the whole area when I said Osaka :)

It’s only a “proven strategy” when half the league isn’t doing it, but they are now.

Not sure, it’s always a strange jolt when I take the shinkansen down there and immediately screw up by standing on the wrong side in the station despite doing it a hundred times before :)  

A note on the escalator thing - Osaka is completely the opposite. You stand on the right and people climb on the left. Confusing, right?

One of the many things I love about Japanese baseball is every stadium explicitly welcomes opposing fans, even dedicating a separate section for them where they can sing and cheer.  Of course there’s rarely much violence in Japan in the first place, but I’ve never seen any fan on fan violence and never felt threatened…

I’m glad this madness hasn’t yet affected the Japanese leagues. I live in Japan and go to ~80 or so live games a year, I usually pay under $20 a ticket (under $10 for off peak games in the outfield). I can take public transportation to any of the stadiums in Japan, bring my bag into all of them, and concessions even…

I’m much the same way. I shared a bed with a woman while on a trip many years ago, we had two double beds in the room and in the other was a married couple friends of mine. I didn’t do anything but make out a bit and cuddle with the girl I was with. In the morning, the woman in the married couple asked me why we…
