Cubs catcher Michael Barrett punching then-White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski right in the face as he crossed home plate.

Sad to say it, but the Foo Fighters are probably the next generation’s version of U2, yeah? At least Dave Grohl isn’t insufferable like Bono is.

Does the wrinkled placket answer also apply to the pocket flaps that some some men’s shirts have on the chest pockets?

Honestly no snark intended, but I’m curious why this article was done after the Tread was essentially written off in another article back in January. I also thought it was slightly odd that the previous article wasn’t referenced once in this review.

The part they didn’t show in that video you included was just before that when he asked about the Cubs winning the double-header and the Cardinal fan goes “They finally won.” He looks right at her with eyebrows raised, sees she’s wearing an Iowa Hawkeyes hat and goes “Hang on to that Hawkeyes hat, they’ll be back…

Great article for beginners! A helpful follow-up piece would be about actually decorating. Basic style tips to make the place look halfway nice (painting the trim to complement the wall color, do we really need a headboard for the bed?, how to layout the furniture, etc.).

This is Echo, my Australian Cattle Dog shelter pup. I adopted her in 2007 when she was 5 years old (estimated). The shelter had her classified as a “senior dog” because she was 5, but there’s really nothing senior about her. She’s been an incredible addition to my life and is one of the sweetest, most affectionate…

Probably one of the worst points (among so, so many) for me in this episode was the confrontation between Fish and Dulmacher in his office when she's stealing the boat keys. He threatens to shoot her in the stomach, and her "convincing cover story" is essentially "don't shoot me, I was just here to get a knife to kill…

HUNTER PENCE HAS AN ARM INJURY

As a lifelong Cubs fan who is enjoying that they finally seem to be getting their house in order and might actually be decent in the coming years, my strongest hope is that they don't turn into this. I don't want to see them being quoted talking about the "new Cubs way" or some other crap if they do end up winning a…

I've encountered all the animals mentioned above in the wild and lived, so here's their tales.

Great article Wes. Mummy bags don't agree with my tendency to roll onto my side/stomach when I sleep, so I opted for the Sea to Summit Trek Tk II as a nice compromise with its tapered rectangular shape. I'm a 3-season camper anyhow (boo, winter!) so I don't need something super duper warm. It came with its own…

I've stopped buying pretty much everything that I don't actually have to try on first (i.e. new clothes) and food. I don't plan well enough to be able to buy my groceries online. Also, there are a few odds and ends that are actually cheaper at Target than buying from Amazon (deodorant, contact lens solution).

Your best shot will be to lobby to the USFWS, as they are the other partner in this red wolf relationship. They need to continue to uphold their responsibilities to this species, and not just abandon this effort because NCWC decided to make it clear they have no real intention to be a partner in the recovery of this…

In the case of the red wolf, one of the biggest factors for why they have been nearly wiped out is that fact that they are smaller and reddish-brown in color, just like coyotes. From a distance, they look very similar, and it is legal to shoot coyotes (and coyotes are oftentimes shot from a significant distance away).…

I suppose my answer depends on why the hybridization is occurring. If it's occurring as a natural part of nature (that phrase seems redundant), then who are we to stand in the way of the core concept of evolution? However, if it is occurring because pack sizes are so small due to the decimation of the red wolf…

I work at a zoo that currently houses two of the captive red wolves that you mentioned. We've been following this story closely since it is captive breeding programs like ours that have helped this species slowly recover from the initial 14 animals. It's really frustrating when you've got so many people and…

Awesome article, Wes! This is exactly what I was hoping for yesterday when I commented on your Iceland article about help for us international newbies. What a huge help this will be as I plan my first international trip, which I'm now officially out of excuses for not doing (and I'm totally okay with that!).

As someone who (unfortunately) has never been out of the US, I'd love to see an article about your basics for traveling internationally. Navigating things like the language barrier and the currency exchange rate has always seemed kind of intimidating to me. I very much want to travel abroad, and in fact just got my…
