I was going to say ... there’s an apocalypse-and-aftermath movie set just waiting to be put to use.

The average BABIP in major league baseball is about .300. In other words, when you let batters make contact and put the ball in play for all 27 outs, you should give up 8 hits. Hence the value of strikeouts - all things being equal, if you put up 10 Ks, you’re taking 3 hits away from the offense, statistically…

It’s a useful metric that breaks down at extremes. This is definitely an extreme.

Well, if you’re the Cavs, there’s no sense playing for Game 7, so why not?

Here’s a tip: if there needs to be a disambiguation between men and women to make the object of your statement clear, it’s perfectly fine. Women’s World Cup, US Women’s National Team, etc.

Well, calling them “women” is at least heading in the right direction. Calling female soccer players “young ladies” implies “ladylike” behavior, which is where the trouble starts, because of how “ladylike” is defined: polite and quiet in a way that has traditionally (like, oh, say, prior to Title IX) been considered…

For the record, three things:

Your point wasn’t that Legler’s analysis was wrong, just that it wasn’t misogynistic.

That’s partly by design, genius. The goal of a defender in the wall isn’t to jump as high as possible, but rather to cover as much of the goal mouth as possible. So, you don’t really want a lot of air jumping in a wall formation, and you want to have your legs fully extended with your toes pointed downward, and you…

Yes. OBP doesn’t use at bats as a divisor. The divisor for OBP includes walks, HBPs, and sac flies. Colon’s average is 3/21 (.143), but his OBP is 3/22 (.136), because he has one sac fly.

You left out Jobu’s rum.

Taylor’s probably good with the 50 gallon drum of lube, though.

EbolaCup 2026 in West Africa?

In case the name “John Carlos” doesn’t ring a bell:

No butter or cream because my daughter is lactose intolerant. She’s breastfed, so Mom can’t have dairy.

I remember that tourney.

Once you take plate tectonics into account, “San Francisco Mariners” isn’t incorrect, it’s just early.

By about 50 million years.

Well, first off, you need to recognize it as a shell casing.

Given that loans were a large chunk of my college financing, maybe you out to watch the generalizations.

And given that I got to pay them for a good 8-10 years after college, I wish I had done a better job on cost containment. Maybe that's why I feel they should be the last resort, after things like: 1) going for AP…

Considering that loans were a large part of how I went to college, maybe you're making an uninformed generalization.

And considering that I got to pay them off afterward - and boy, wasn't that a fun process - I wish I had done a better job up front on cost containment. Like getting more AP credit, or taking gut courses…

I took out 10K last month. Nobody made so much as a peep. I take it that's not what's supposed to happen?
