See, now I’m wondering if Keim killed Sean McKenzie. I mean, he probably didn’t. I realize that. But it’s not impossible. Somebody ought to look into that. Maybe ‘Dateline’?

Surprised he didn’t work in some kind of defense of Scott Pruitt’s sterling character while he was at it.

The New Yorker article goes into some detail on Byford’s work in both London and Toronto, though obviously not in any exhaustive way:

In fairness, the very next (omitted above) sentence in the profile is, “I want a dozen Miguels trained and up and running by Monday,” Byford said.

Makes me wonder exactly how much sushi Boris Johnson must’ve ordered last night.

I think you mean you’re so out of it tomorrow morning! :)

I think you mean you’re so out of it tomorrow morning! :)

Sad story. And there’s no way of knowing right now what precipitated his behavior last night (or how long he may have been struggling with one kind of demon or another).

When they asked Sameer about his favorite Onion article, I’m surprised he didn’t just say, “Sorry, where am I? I thought I was on vacation!”

In fairness, Allen did put both his hands up in the air, which is the universal sign for “I didn’t do anything! No, I sure didn’t. I was just minding my own business. Why are you even looking at me like that? You’re making me feel like I did something wrong! Hey, I’m the victim here!” So it seems open and shut that…

Wimbledon put the defending champion on an outer court near sundown, which is insane.

The WaPo reporter’s game-tweets has a great observation: Eaton was trying to make a super play but in doing that he let a run score.

Davey Martinez would intentionally walk the water cooler.

So your argument is that Scherzer wasn’t going to pitch against Porcello anyway? You shouldn’t worry so much. Porcello would be allowed to bat anyway. He’d either bat after Bradley or he’d lead off the top of the 3rd. It’s okay.

Nope. You let Scherzer decide that, especially in the second inning, first time through the order. And all the managers for all the pitchers I named would not have done what Martinez did. In a way, what’s more surprising is that the Sox didn’t walk Rendon in order to be able to pitch to Harper instead.

Barring a home run, how many runs would’ve scored on any Jackie Bradley Jr hit? Three? No. So then you’d get the pitcher who never bats. Worst case, the Nats would be in extra innings right now.

And then Rick Porcello hit a three-run double on the following at-bat...

You mean when to *not* go. 

Well, if it did then I assume they thought the joke was too high-brow for their audience.

If Froome has been DQ’d, how would Quintana know when to not make a move and get no separation from the group of 15 riders trailing a random breakaway by 3 kilometers?
