I prefer a centre-running bike lane. The one on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington between the White House and the Capitol building is ideal.

To “bean” a hitter means to hit him in the head, not in the leg.

At any rate, the more relevant example comes from a real game. The Goose was once ordered by Billy Martin to throw at the head of a hitter; and the Goose was offended by that, and refused to do it. He still holds Billy in very low regard (and rightfully…

“Does anyone actually give a shit about hit-and-runs?”

So you just row in a circle, until you go mad. Simple.

Corrected headline: “VAR Once Again Works Exactly as Intended by Disallowing a Goal That Should Not Have Counted”

That’s that’s a great observation on the actor who played Karen’s first same-sex partner. Samira Wiley did not have the sort of delivery that matched the show’s tone; and her on-screen chemistry with Megan Mullally was more-or-less nonexistent. She was as ill-suited to this show as Jonathan Banks was to Community when…

The danger of this sort of terrorist violence is why I have no wish to attend live sporting events.

Egad!

I once played in a game in which a guy hit for the home-run cycle against us: he hit a solo homer, a two-run homer, a three-run homer, and a grand slam. I think he knew.

Damn, those practice jerseys are beautiful!  So much better than the unsightly mess that they wear in games.

Wait, are the Burger King tacos deep fried, like the Jack’s tacos?

I didn’t have a taco that was not deep-fried until I was an adult. I remember joking to myself: “Non-deep-fried tacos? It’ll never catch on.”

Of course I now love tacos made the traditional way. But oh, those Jack’s tacos! What great memories!

Russia should be expelled from UEFA.

Or the Phillies could sign Youppi.

The headline says that this guy allegedly assaulted a sleeping woman; while the body of the story says that he “made a pass at one of the female passengers”. Those are two very different things. Which is it? 

The craziest thing about this is that fries are better at room temperature (as is nearly every food).

Why add extra sugar to the Coke? Wouldn’t it work just as well without that sugar? And can it be done with Diet Coke?

Also, I’d like to fill the eggshells with the best soda of all, Fresca, which is green.

This show has been wonderful, both the original version and the revival. The writing is crisp, and the performances are just beautiful. Also, add to that its historic contribution of bringing gay narratives fully into the mainstream.

The entire cast is outstanding, but Debra Messing deserves special notice. She is…

Mocking this guy because he flew only 20 miles is a very weird take.

While it’s true that saves began being counted officially in 1969, the 1969 rule has been retroactively assigned to all seasons back to 1950. (The save rule changed slightly in 1974 and again in 1975.)

A different and more broad interpretation for assigning saves has been applied to seasons going back to the beginning…

That is certainly not the only time a position player got a win. Rocky Colavito earned a win in a pitching apperance with the Yankees in 1968. He came into the game in the top of the fourth, replacing the starter in a game against Detroit in which the Yankees were down 5-0. The Yankees were in the first of three…
