Oh I think that’s true, you take whoever is highest on board regardless, question to me is whether you’d trade back to three or four or take Fultz. I.e., add another pick or player and still get an elite prospect.

That makes sense to me, but I can envision a scenario where they think Fultz is really a superstar and take him regardless of fit.

Oh I’m rooting for them to take Fultz, then the lakers to take like Fox or Jackson or whoever. Just to see the look on Lavar’s face.

Years ago Joe Posnanski wrote about “Jeterating,” which he defined as insistently giving superlative praise to an otherwise praiseworthy individual for things for which that individual deserves no praise. Like Jeter’s defense, or in this case captaincy. I’ve always loved the word.

I’ve thought a lot about that question. Honda was first to market with their hybrids and during the Prius boom many didn’t even know Hondas had hybrids.

Oh you’re offended snowflake?

People make fun of the “real people” (justifiably) but it’s also the host guy. He just says these nonsense things and looks expectantly at the others. Like “it’s hard to be prepared for something when you don’t know it’s coming.” Ok? Sure? It’s like a bad salesman who wants you to agree with him on things so he…

Over a decade ago, when hybrids were pretty new, I sold Hondas while in college. I can’t tell you how many sales I lost on the civic hybrids because the rear seat didn’t fold down. Which, I get, that’s pretty crucial, but it was so frustrating.

Hm, I guess by the definition you suggest he’d have to be. I think if you asked 1,000 people to name composers, Williams would be pretty far down the list, or at least well after Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc. Though I’m also not sure people would even think of him in that category.

I’m not sure the number in the 80s, but in addition to the 13,000 medallions, there are another 40,000 vehicles licensed by t&lc. They’re not necessarily V8s now, but they used to be all town cars (which had the 5l Windsor in the 80s) and big vans and ambulettes that had to be running v8s.

Huh, is that regional? I can’t remember ever seeing one before. Creepy.

In fairness it’s less of an asterisk when she might literally be the only person in her age bracket capable of finishing the events.

I mean...I like burned cheese too.

These? No these are stupid.

They have to at least do something with it, I think. The slow burn toll it’s taking on him was compelling, but I do think it’s at the point where we get it. He hates himself, he’s hated himself for YEARS. But he keeps on being the soldier that he is. People do stay being miserable forever, but without some…

This is the correct take.

Fair to assume this is best lawn games, other than beer cricket, the obvious best lawn game?

In a video during which Papelbon chokes Harper, a dude (was that Albert Belle?) levels a dude putting a tag on him, and Clemens throws a bat shard at Piazza that’s your takeaway?

The compensation should be whatever it takes to get someone off the plane. That’s the free market solution. If they were capitalists and not oligarchs that’s what they’d do.

You’re right, businesses should be able to do whatever they want, otherwise they’ll just raise prices.
