I live in the northwest, and in most years it goes from full-on summer glory to the depths of the endless drip of fall in about two weeks. Fuck fall, and fuck all that it stands for. Fuck the two weeks of colored leaves that just get blown from the trees during the first semi-potent windstorm of the season, leaving…

It feels like those letters are arranged in a way to make them comprehensible, and yet, I’m getting nothing.

That explains it then. Thanks!

This is something Jerry Dipoto should’ve jumped on, given the paucity of healthy arms on the M’s pitching staff. Instead, he got Mike Leake for a minor league player. I wonder what Nicasio’s club control looks like after this season.

The amount of rainfall isn’t necessarily due to the strength of the storm, it’s more due to the storm essentially parking over one area for an extended amount of time. Katrina (which was a little weaker than Harvey) only dropped around a foot of rain in the worst-hit areas. Most tropical systems come ashore and move…

Remove the Astros and have the Indians play one of teams from the den of mediocrity that is the 2nd wild card. As an M’s fan, I don’t want to see a team that wasn’t even in the division (or the league) five years ago have any success while my team languishes within the depths of eternal purgatory.

It’s probably a good thing that the Royals aren’t scoring, lest we need more nobility that are all incest-y and such.

The Germans have a phrase for it ... backpfeifengesicht.

It should also be noted that Washington apples are just starting to come into season, so it would make sense that they’d be cheaper than ones that have to be shipped in from New Zealand.

If you don’t like the hot desert summers of Reno, the coast of Texas offers up summer temperatures that are comparable with Reno with added humidity to boot. I should also note that during the summer, night time lows in Reno are much lower than coastal Texas. You might not like that transition as much as you think.

That’s a real bummer. Dude’s worked hard in going from an average recruit before joining UW to being a great NBA player. His shot that sank Arizona will always be a great memory.

Randy Johnson’s wipe out slider did the same thing to lefty hitters. He already had a 98 mph fastball so when that 6' 10" frame threw the slider, most hitters would bail out and step in the bucket. The hitter gears up for a pitch that comes in fast and a change of pace throws the timing off.

Unfortunately, the best recording technology of the time just wasn’t available to the cash-strapped hardcore bands, but hardcore didn’t really need a lot of it either. At a minimum, the guitar solos that were slogged through live come through with more clarity and accuracy on the recorded versions. Otherwise, the…

The 80's had hardcore punk and thrash metal, that’s about it. The only other positive I can assign to the decade is bad hip-hop wasn’t ubiquitous like it is now.

Compared to the M’s pitchers, New York’s staff has been a relative bastion of health. Scott Servais is now working with arm number 37 this season, compared to just 26 for the Mets. There was even an instance of two relievers getting hurt during the same at bat. It feels like the Spinal Tap drummer’s curse has taken a…

Unfortunately, failing to denounce neo-nazis and white supremacists is apparently all too divisive.

Joe Paterno would be a fair comparison to the founding fathers if either he had the same amount of impact as the founding fathers or turning a blind eye to molestation was just something that people did at the time. Since neither of those scenarios exist, the comparison doesn’t hold up. Paterno was the coach of one…

Yeah, but what do chicks dig?
