“Hey hun, would you mind spending the next couple of hours watching something that you have zero interest in?”

He’s a Giants fan. You’ll have to pardon the lack of basic arithmetic skills.

10, 12, 14, 16 is four in seven, not six.

I think Chelsea hate works for most of us!

Sooooo what about the rest of the Prem action from this past weekend? No coverage at all or is this place really just about Barca/Arsenal and Chelsea hate?

He wasn’t a good fielder:a negative defensive value over the life of his career. He didn’t hit for power:160 total HR, only double digits twice after age 29. He wasn’t particularly skilled at stealing bases: not quite 200 career SB, about 150 CS. The guy hit a fuck ton of singles. He’s 65th all time in WAR, 39th among…

The Baseball Hall of Fame is not a place for gamblers! It’s a place for racists, philanders, alcoholics and anyone who used PED’s before the arbitrary deadline of 1995.

Might I point out that beIN Sports Connect is also showing the start of the knock-out round of the Women’s Team Handball World Championship?

The Ali-Creed parallels were always pretty obvious. The first film was better as it was essentially a story about a dumb guy who gets an incredible chance to not be a complete bum. Its the slightly more entertaining version of the guy in the ITT Tech commercials, who got a shot to learn a trade and now isn’t doing so…

Since Rocky IV came out the year AFTER this article was written, adding that move to this article would have blown up the whole space-time continuum.

Baseball is a relic of a gone-and-forgotten America eulogized only by assholes like Keith Olbermann and George F. Will.

That’s cool, I’m completely incapable of taking seriously anybody who could read this post and think any particular part of it does not contain “any apparent sense of irony or satire.” So it all balances out.

I share your hesitation but god damn if I didn’t do a mental backflip when Disney said “Hey nice product you have here... there’s the fucking door George. We aren’t using any of your ideas for this new movie. And those books that nerd you know was geeking out about? We tossed those too. Trust us.”

sorry bout your life?

Indeed, going to the moon would require research which would have great benefits. But we can do much of that same research without going to the moon, can we not? We need better batteries. We need better power distribution. Better education. Less violence. Rational drug policies. More efficient food distribution. More…

We haven't gone back because space really is the most hostile environment human beings have ever tried to explore. It costs about $1 billion a year to support a person on the ISS, versus $500,000 a year in Antarctica. And Low Earth Orbit is still pretty friendly compared to being outside the Van Allan belts, where…

Here's what I don't like about this argument. It has nothing to do with the moon itself and everything to do with a big R&D spend, which incidentally is a great way to further enrich our military industrial complex that is plenty rich enough (tyvm). If we want the federal government to dump an ADDITIONAL $45B into…

Your comment certainly hits many Bingo marks for the Right.

I thought it was more trying to goad leftists into support for space exploration, rather than pretending they were ever very enthusiastic about it. The point is traditionally "liberal" concerns about the need for social spending sucked most of the space budget dry, and that's yet another of the many, many errors and…
