Again, if your point was valid do you think not one of these players or coaches has a lawyer who would tell them that? If that’s the case, you should hang up a shingle in Bolton: “Phartus, Esq.: Internet Commenter and Solicitor”. And find yourself a good Barrister while you’re at it. 

I know that’s your point. But if someone came to you and said they were party to a contract but they had unilaterally decided it was null and void so they wanted to sign a competing contract with you, would you just say, “Sure thing!”

Let’s look at this in a glass-half-full sort of way: If they played only away games, at least they’d have hot water on game days.

Reluctance on the part of teams that don’t want to be sued for signing players still under contract with another club? Just a guess.

Rory might play better if he didn’t practice so much.

The person who needs to wise up is Justin Turner. He was arguing for the other team. The umpire’s decision was none of his business and it wasted time for him to be chiming in when nobody asked for his opinion.  Plus, any time you’re on the same side of an argument as Gabe Kapler, by default that means you’re on the…

Sure, because next time he’s called safe stretching a single into a double, he’s going to correct the umpire’s honest mistake and admit the tag beat him and then trot back to the dugout. Nobody gives a shit what Justin Turner thinks about a pitcher’s motives. Take your base and let Gabe Kapler lose that argument all…

I could see that except the Dodgers had just had a 12-inning game the night before, so they probably wanted Monday’s game over with once the win was guaranteed. Plus, they had just lost Chris Taylor to an HBP in that Red Sox game so allowing Rios to injure another player on a subsequent pitch would’ve been risky.

Where was the Dodgers 1B coach? Turner looked like a dumbbell having any part in that conversation at all. It’s not a democracy. The batter doesn’t get to vote on who is ejected and who isn’t. He should’ve taken his base and been happy about it. The 1B coach should’ve dragged him up the baseline.

Different animal. Equifax had a security breach. Facebook deliberately, intentionally, and repeatedly steals and sells its users’ personal data. And then lies about it as part of its core business.

The most recent tweet in my Twitter app timeline is a head-scratcher from Jack Dorsey (I usually use Twitterrific, which have more recent, but less confusing tweets):

You don’t know how to read criticism. It’s that simple. Reviews have opinions. Your criticism of this particular review is very bad and very ignorant. See? Reviews can themselves be poorly constructed and poorly written. You’ve proven that. So the next test for you is to just learn what reviews and critiques are, and…

That’s gotta sting. 

Well, I’m fairness, that wasn’t the dumbest tweet of the day. Hmm, I wonder what was...

No, they’d enjoy it too much.

This should just generally be a worldwide policy for all sports until January 2021:

If it’s peak Mets, the chair hit deGrom in his right elbow. Even though he wasn’t even in the room.

Very hard to see Quintana being a serious factor in the TDF. It’s been a long time since he was relevant or able to mount any kind of challenge. 

And to think the Knicks could’ve signed Isaiah Thomas...

It’s both, dumbbell. It was both with Theranos, too. You don’t like the comparison because you’re incapable of understanding it, not because it’s irrelevant. Plenty of Silicon Valley companies make their executives rich even while they burn through their investors’ capital.
