On my first internship, I was a solid 15-20 years younger than the entire office and personal technology isn’t close to where it is today. I became the default IT guy. I spent a lot of time having co-workers go grab a cup of coffee while I plugged their equipment in and pretended that I did something more complex.

AFL isn’t exactly a revenue driver on its own and the facilities are all fantastic.

Exactly. While I agree that 12 ABs is a small sample size, I don’t expect it to get better because he’s clearly outmatched by guys who are rising MLB talent. He’s essentially playing with minor league all-stars without much appreciable work on his game in a decade

I’m not sure how it brings money though. They already had the jerseys out. The AFL isn’t a big revenue event that they control. Tickets are $8, games are sparsely attended and there isn’t much coverage. It is in AZ where your aren’t going to pull in the nostalgic Gator fans and all it will do is expose him.

Fun loving in the same context as a bunch of frat boys slamming car bombs in a urine stenched box, packed wall to wall with fellow bros, that is passing off as an Irish pub despite being neither Irish or a real pub

The AFL is more for hitters than pitchers (although I’ve seen some solid pitchers there) - regardless, the level is way above his head. These are guys who typically are to tier AAA quality or close to their call ups. A small stint at the home instructional facility while leaving for weekends doesn’t prepare you for…

If your root for the Cubs you are definitely drunk, most likely illiterate (judging from the signs I’ve seen at games) and almost positively have zero interest in actually watching baseball.

Not remotely a Sox fan. Honestly, they are only a small step up from Cubs fans as far as obnoxiousness.

Bullshit. That nasally Chicago accent is a fucking nightmare (although not as bad as whatever they are saying in Boston)

Typically not - as they are neither an employee of the league nor a union member so they really don’t get much in the way of standing.

Who has witnessed his team actually win a world series. Plus he doesn’t have to associate with Cubs fans, which is a positive even if he didn’t get to enjoy watching his team win the WS.

Shame the bull didn’t get the other one

Sure, those priests raped some kids. In fairness, they were around plenty of children with no supervision. They passed over far more than they actually abused. Just imagine what the numbers would have been if they didn’t devote their life to God.

There is no good ending here. Even if the guy gets worked over in prison, it will go back on the daughter for “putting him there”

It also sounds like they had her pen a letter of support as well - which is just another level of abuse ......... fucking monsters

I’ve been told many times that church is needed to find your morality and without it you wouldn’t be able to tell right from wrong and there would be no meaningful reason to not act in a manner that damages others.

How much of his warm up routine did he make it through?

I wish I had some affiliation or cheering interest for Cal if for no other reason than to buy up the Beast Mode Cal merchandise - it is awesome

As someone who just got out of a 2003 corolla with 215,000 miles I can attest to this .... but if someone would have wanted to offer me $9k I would take the cash, pass the title and hope they can’t track me down after their drug induced stupor wore off

It’s overcompensating and insecurity at his white half, which is also part of the reason why it grows out so nice.
