I never said it was “genius” decision. I agree that it shows more about the Giants lack of depth. I was simply defending it against the attack that this was an “idiotic” decision. It wasn’t. It was a rather obvious move given the roster limitations and game situation. Smoltz and Costas who were calling the game for…

I’m not putting anyone’s words in your mouth. I said calling the decision “idiotic” was a “bad take.” You said I was wrong thereby defending said “bad take” calling Bruce Bochy’s decision “idiotic.” I’m not misattributing anything. That’s just logic.

You’re still suggesting it’s a valid argument to say it was “idiotic” to bat the best hitting pitcher in the game over your very limited bench. You already lost your starter after only two innings, so you know you’re in for a long night navigating one of the best lineups in the league while simultaneously attempting…

Mmm, no. They have 13 POSITION players on their 25-man playoff roster. One of those position players, Gregor Blanco, had already pinch hit. That leaves a manager with 3 available POSITION players for the remaining 4+ innings of a three-run game. One is his only reserve catcher. Never going to use him in the fifth…

This is a bad take.

I wonder what promising young talent’s career will be ruined by being drafted #1 by the 76ers next year...

Sorry, timing was off. I understand he played in the Dortmund system briefly. It’s my understanding he came up through US academy system before joining Dortmund. I wasn’t implying professional. I’d count a amateur league as a “second rate North American League”.  

How about I respectfully disagree with you. An American-born kid (just turned 18) who, less than a year ago, was plying his trade in a second rate North American league just got put into the game in the 73rd minute in front of arguably the most intimidating crowd in world football against the defending champion and…

Meanwhile, in American National Team news, Christian Pulisic just came on as an sub for Dortmund against the defending champions, Real Madrid, and proceeded to be one of the most impactful players on the pitch and played a vital role in Dortmund’s equalizer to earn a point in the showcase fixture of Europe’s biggest…

Refraining from standing for the National Anthem and respectfully talking to the media about your decision is not the same as firing off a couple of tweets with thinly veiled if not outright racist language. That much should be clear to you.

That same acid trip took me to New Jersey where I’ve been attempting to lay low and blend in to a bipedal world while making travel arrangements back home. You may have seen me on the news:

Reunion is also the birthplace of West Ham United star and newest favorite son, Dimitri Payet. It is also a French colony. Therefore Mr. Payet’s skills were on display for the French National Team at the European Championships.

What a disappointment. Talk about missing the point. I sincerely hoped for a series that would illuminate the absurdities of our criminal justice system. This series delivered on the absurdities. Too bad few of them are in any way related to the actual issues plaguing this nation. The carceral state that was the…

Thankfully for Huma she has a boss that can sympathize with having a narcissistic husband whose dick provides nothing but frustration.

You can't fix stupid.

Well said. Nobody bitches and whines about Lebron James’ genetic gifts. He didn’t work really hard at being 6'8". This woman shouldn't have to be treated like a science experiment because she was born with some differentiating genetics.

Let he who has never looked at something vaguely naughty on his work device cast the first stone!

Amazing that the host of a show that rose to prominence with the use (some might say overuse) of stretched metaphors and idioms that only an American could appreciate wouldn’t understand the concept of something getting lost in translation.

And to think some of our faculty and alumni actually thought it ridiculous to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a new football cathedral in the middle of campus instead of improving the educational facilities.

Impressive.
