It would be great if all Major League teams slashed their affilliates, and if half the affilliated leagues went out of business. It would be great because it would open the door for independent minor leagues.

This would benefit fans, as only in the independent minors do teams play to win. A team in an independent…

Andy is empathetic, merciful, and artistic. Far from “the worst”.

“The worst” is Dwight, who is highly entertaining on the show, but who in real life would be a straight-up unrepentant fascist.

Wut?

Catchers can do anything.

Rick Cerone has a career ERA of 0.00.

I wish he were still with the Nets.

A bicycle is inherently part of traffic, because it is a vehicle. You don’t need to prove that by intentionally placing yourself in the path of motorised vehicles that are 20 times as heavy as your vehicle, and that are moving at three or four times the speed.

They could have made it simple by just playing on the normal-length CFL field of 110 yards (but narrowed to NFL width), and leaving the goal posts on the goal lines. The NFL’s goal posts were on the goal line until 1974, and no one complained about that.

“I’m a vehicular bicyclist.”

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.
