All I’m getting out of the last 2 years is that every one of these fucks is guilty of something, whether it be sexual assault, fraud, collusion, or shady financial dealings. Therefore whenever a person is accused of a crime, no matter how serious the accusation, that person must be innocent. Because you never know…

I think most people have covered it for you, but the added wrinkle is the pre-game player intros. Who knows if it mattered at all, but Sevy was particularly wild and it’s hard for me not to think it had at least a little to do with it.

What I can’t wait for is the article Deadspin will surely write about the rumor that Sevy didn’t know what time first pitch was, and never really warmed up.

I don’t know a Yankee fan... nay, a baseball fan who wouldn’t have known that bringing in Sev to start that inning was the worst idea. The whole inning overall was worse than the Girardi non-challenge last year.

Technically it was three pitchers and a catcher. I would imagine that’s even more rare.

The people really upset about the game portraying most cops as genuinely trying to protect people should take solace in that fact that in the real world, most cops are actually genuinely trying to protect people.

I’m the guy that like Superman Returns. I didn’t love it like I did Spider-Man 2 or Batman Begins, but (outside of the mopey stalker scene) I feel like it hit the two things I needed from it. An actor who played CK and Supes like two different roles, and a Superman who was a beacon of hope. When they played the…

Another way to look at it is that a team plays 162 games to avoid the 1 game playoff, and neither of these teams could. It wasn’t that long ago that the Yanks and A’s wouldn’t have even had a chance to be in the playoffs, and just a couple years ago the A’s wouldn’t have.

I’d love to get the game for my wife and I. Do you think we will get enough mileage out of it with just 2 people? 

Bingo. Also add in disenfranchisement and voter suppression. GoP stands no chance in an actual democracy. Stacking the courts with right wing backwards thinking schills is their only hope of clinging to power.

Come on now, aren’t you being a little harsh? I mean, if a single white elderly male, particularly one from South Carolina, can’t accurately relate to and judge a sexually assaulted woman, who really can?

Serious question... If Bart O’Kav would have just said, after the Ford accusation, that it happened but not as she described, saying something like “We were both drinking, I tried to kiss her, and when I realized she wasn’t interested I backed off”, would this have gone better for him? I feel like he fell down the GoP…

As soon as he laughed “along” with them, the spin instantly became how he was in on the joke, and not that he was the joke.

I expect the actual replacements would be a platoon. Torres at SS and Walker at 2B against RHP, and Torres at 2B with Hechavarria at SS against LHP.

Are you insinuating that the president isn’t the smartest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of intelligence?

God, what I would give for Martinez to have ran out of the dugout to eject Diaz from the game.

What I’d love to see is a party split. The spectrum for both parties is far too wide. I think it was Trevor Noah who said the biggest problem with American politics is the two party system, and I’m inclined to agree. There needs to be a centrist party, one where people don’t HAVE to vote for someone like, say,…

That’s also fair. I guess because my political views have remained rather consistently liberal for the two decades I’ve been old enough to care, I can’t relate to someone having such a drastic shift in ideals.

This one scares me a little bit. She’s a candidate that I think is more about jumping on a bandwagon for a popular platform and less about actually believing in it. I know people like to reference it as a smear campaign, but dismissing some of it is basically the Trump “fake news” strategy.

Alternate take... I proposed to my (spoiler alert) now wife on a lifelong planned tripped to Greece. I planned to do it on Santorini during sunset (for which Oia is legendary). Though we never explicitly talked about definitively getting married, for better or worse, I never even considered she might say no. And…
