True but typical. Every bully is a coward at heart. Once you call their bluff it’s over. They revert to the sniveling shitstains they are.

Subtract Palmiero and A-Rod on principle alone and that list is insanely impressive.

Just want to put out the list of guys with 3,000 hits/450 HRs

I look forward to his induction speech, when Elvis Andrus sneaks on stage and touches his head, and Beltre freaks the fuck out.

I used to live in Cleveland, and there were no Crew fans or soccer fans in general. Then I moved to Columbus and there were thousands of Crew fans. Funny how that worked. I also heard that if you move from Botswana to Boston, you suddenly encounter more Red Sox fans, too, but I don’t think anyone can explain how that…

The issue with the US is that it had to “erect” a top league without building up. MLS had to be constructed and was set up as a real aspirational league right away. The 2nd tier hasn’t caught up and the gap is too huge for pro/rel to really work. Why throw away teams with decent infrastructure and investment for teams…

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Patrick has been fired for not referencing the extensive real-world history of ballistas being used to kill flame-breathing magical lizards the size of 747s.

Did you try looking on a Tuesday? I see a lot of specials for tacos on Tuesdays

Any belief in this team is usually rewarded with a streak of 10 losses.

Still better than Buhner for Phelps.

We’d probably be better off with Michael Phelps.

That’s not the way I learned it. You start with a city-state, then you clear out barbarians and send out colonists. Before you know it you’re developing nuclear weapons.

Thinking without looking up. Dodger Stadium?

The sunroof on your 2003 Toyota is still working? That’s not really all that miraculous. BOTH sunroofs on my 1998 Land Rover Discovery (143k miles) still work.

Y’know, “tasteful 6-car garage building with lift space” is a thing that needs to happen more often...

Governor LePage is investigating how he arrived in the state.

“It’s pretty simple, I was just faster than my training partner.”

You should quit auto journalism and become an architect, seriously. Half of the architects I’ve met don’t understand conservation and ethical renovation. It’s a really important, understudied area of the field (at least in North America).
