Sometime next year...

Hi Barry!

The in-game experience of football, in my opinion, sucks. Being a “game of inches” means that unless you have slow-mo replays and alternate camera angles, you really are only guessing as to what’s going on during most plays. But, because there are only 8 regular season home games a year, it becomes an event of sorts,…

So he missed a call that helped the Dodgers, then Justin Turner lost his mind when he called a pitch correctly.

These studies show the exact opposite of that. It’s roughly akin to someone feeling chilly at 85 degrees, then saying “I have a really high tolerance to cold” because every office building they’ve ever been in has been just unbearably freezing. Meanwhile, someone else is in -20 degree weather and being told that the…

Are we serious right now? Broxton clearly threw the glove back at the ump on purpose. It was a good bit more accurate than he intended it to be, but it he threw it at the ump. He dumped his helmet and other glove on the ground, as would be expected, but he sent that first glove, with serious velocity directly where he…

But this is the exact opposite of what the study observed. Which is that when exposed to the same stimuli, women reported a *higher* level of pain than men did. If men are simply less accustomed to pain, they’d have reported higher levels from the same stimuli. Anecdotes about people’s husbands notwithstanding.

Are you speculating: Men experience pain less often than women, so when men do experience pain, men see it as the worst thing ever.

This article has a tone as measured and sensible as an All-Clad drumset.

Right.  I have never borne a baby, nor been stabbed or shot in the stomach, or at all.  If I took this test, I don’t think that I would ever rate anything higher than a 5. 

During the stoppage, Mokhtari asked the Nancy players to instruct the fans to stop.

It seems like Fenech went out of his way to be a dick to Verlander on Twitter before this incident, too. Verlander is certainly being petty about this, but Fenech isn’t doing himself favors trying to traipse across a burnt bridge, either.

French is not exactly kind to Verlander on Twitter either, so it’s not like he’s trying very hard to repair that relationship either. 

Right. This is why a pizza isn’t an open-faced sandwich, it’s a topped flatbread. Wrapping/enclosing/sandwiching a filling in bread = sandwichoid. Cooking a filling enclosed in a dough = dumplingoid.

One of the better IAHDAS? answers so far. Alton Brown is a smart guy.

Finally, an expert opinion I can trust.

“Oakland A’s left fielder Stephen Piscotty was briefly in a bad situation on Saturday.”

No one is gonna talk about how amazing it is for the left fielder to magically find himself in right field to make that catch? NO ONE cares that Piscotty is apparently capable of teleportation?

Man, this place has gone to the dogs…

It looks like he had a track on the ball until the last second. You'd be shocked at the ability of the human brain to have a sixth sense for where a ball like this is headed. Especially a professional athlete. Sometimes I will drop something but still instinctively reach down without looking and catch it. That looks…

No.  Writer is in the wrong here.  If you pay for your seat, you are entitled to boo.

I like this image where they just put their $1800 TV in the hallway.
