Yes! It’s selfish assholes who inflict pain on the world by not being able to suck it up and create flexible kids. It’s unreal the number of kids in school who can’t deal with ANYTHING. However, I’m afraid my own kids are going to become raging homicidal maniacs after years of dealing with spoiled bastards.

I hate the idea of the World Cup expanding. The Federation battles are much more fun with a limited World Cup. They really should take a spot from CONCACAF and give it to CONMEBOL, or combine them with the Asian federation for an 8 team qualifying free-for-all. Then do the same with Europe, Africa, and the rest. …

Writers should know better than to write any article about a baseball team being some kind of lock. The National League was always wide open, once playoff teams are set. If you win 90, you are as legit as any other team to win the series, as that means you usually have three dependable starters and a decent pen. So…

That’s a lazy reply.

And here I was told by those same people that the real problem was Affirmative Action. That nasty privilege microscope keeps getting in the way!

Barry: “These games may end up mattering down the stretch, even if it sure doesn’t feel like they mean much now.” What do you really lose by saying “matter” rather than this? That construction/syntax is awkward.

He sat out a game because his eyelid was stuck! He was one of my favorites on a 77 Cubs team that wiped out the North Side with an epic collapse and spawned Bleacher Bums.

The swing plane and the result of the swing plane are different. He does not have a high finish, and his swing plane is relatively shallow. He hits the ball hard, and I would probably disagree with the way those hits are designated. I like this article:

His swing is the anti-uppercut, high finish that has been over coached in American youth baseball. He swings level and hard. And many coaches would over coach that out of him, increasing his strikeouts, and making him a clone of all the other bull shit artists out there who get exposed when pitchers look at the…

This was brilliant. Thank you.

Pops has the best Paths of Glory take. And you, Drew, are absolutely correct.

“Then our own Billy Haisley pointed out that, at your average high school, more kids can probably homer than dunk. Also, you can luck into a homer.” This is a horrible take. Absolutely 100% untrue. And think about how many countries play basketball and have no idea about baseball. It’s an easy answer. Dunking. …

One strike for each incarnation! The whole strikeout is the singular gift.

News is: things that happened. Someone saying something, however false, is news. The speculation behind it is not news. There is no such thing as fake news. It’s people confusing the things that happened with speculation about what will happen. Pretty simple. Now stop using the term and I don’t have to beat my…

If it’s Wednesday and there’s still an obvious typo in your column—“You want the tricycle to have two rare wheels instead of two front wheels”- -does that mean that your readers are illiterate, no one actually reads your answers, or you don’t care?  

“There really and truly was a time, though, when walking over and knocking on a door and introducing yourself to whoever moved in down the hall or up the street, and/or inviting inside and offering a beverage to whomever walked over and knocked on your door was among the easiest and most readily available ways to make…

There are a lot women and minorities in the Obama video. Are we sure that was Murica?

This is Chip. Chip is a good dog from the Anti-Cruelty Society. Lab Hound mix of some such. And has caught in his mouth a rabbit a rat and a skunk. The skunk was not happy to be pulled from a bush. Chip smelled for awhile.

The horrible color commentary exacerbated an already unwatchable second half. Especially when Pach hit kid n play on the thigh and no one bothered actually saying that he was standing over him and not moving. I think he had the right to try to get him off. Especially after Korver basically tackled him to the…
