Never like to hear a managerial press conference end with “To sum up, we’re all shorter of breath and one day closer to death”

Christ. This is the uphill battle baseball has forged for itself, where concepts like 'fun' and 'excitement' are akin to root canals. Honestly, Grump McGrouchykins here is somehow or other pissed that people got hyped for the opening day of the season and made a big deal out of it? Significant life events for Hale…

Inept? They pull in 7 billion a year to show beer commercials, they know exactly what they’re doing. The people who watch, on the other hand...

Could have?

Not even telling him off, I just think of how pissed off I’d get on a shitty team walking into the clubhouse everyday “oh hey there’s $13 million, .207 Laroche dicking around with his kid again. Laroche maybe gonna get some extra work in the cages today to turn this year around? No? Gonna take a few cuts and let his…

Exactly.

I’d be pissed if my co-workers were bringing their kids in every day; regardless of age. I get it like the time school is cancelled and you can’t leave him home alone or if it’s a baby and you didn’t have a sitter, but if you start showing up every other day and putzing around the office I’m not having it (and…

“During a time when the American family started to fall apart, one man decided to pull his back together. Watch the amazing story of a baseball player who decided the real American past-time — was time with his son.”

I just love how LaRoche and his brother are making this about some noble moral stand with such bullshit remarks as “FAMILY FIRST”. This isn’t ownership telling you your son can’t be openly gay or in an interracial relationship. This is an employer telling an employee not to have their distracting kid show up for every…

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but it seems like only about 10% of that is remotely necessary for running. I’m having a hard time figuring out what the gloves are for at all. That said, I’m sure your local running shop/Amazon is very happy with your spending habits.

Well actually, most available evidence shows that runners tend to have a lower incidence of knee arthritis than the general population. This might not be because of running per se but because runners tend to have lower body masses, though even when controlling for this runners tend to be healthier. I’m not as well…

who hurt you?

Well, we were still there, so let’s see: my friend got her face licked by a washed up actor, some guy asked if I was “eastern European” and then tried to put his arm around my waist, I was standing next to both James O’Keefe and Charles Johnson for a time, and then I went back to the hotel and ate M&Ms and left for…

Can the airline staff let you know when your going into an epileptic seizure?

but even that small chance of success gives him a leg up

I know it goes back a ways, but the way Forrest Tucker dies at the end of Chisum when he and John Wayne fall off the 2nd story porch grappling with each other and Tucker gets impaled by a set of long horns from a steer is great.

When you read, do you just stick your face against the computer screen and mush all the words together with your eyes, or what

“As the equation explains, a baseball’s backspin gives it the lift it needs to leave the park, but its trajectory and force rely on the batter’s grit, determination, and ability to play the game the right way.”

Albert Brooks had a bit about radio guys and summed them up perfectly that on a scale of awfulness you’ve got “Non-contagious lepers, FM Radio DJ’s, then contagious lepers.”

A friend of mine taught at Eric’s stepchildren’s school years ago.

I was a first-time home buyer in 2009. The expense that caught me off guard was the earnest payment. It’s a deposit paid to the seller (held in escrow) that if you pull out of the deal, the seller keeps it and vice versa.
