I think there is a middle ground between demeaning restaurant workers and thinking it is a good and qualifying career background for a member of congress.

Remember when the worst thing the president did was wear a tan suit? Now we have a guy who shakes graduates hands!

What you, and apparently many others, fail to realize, most likely because you stopped playing baseball when they took the ball off the tee, is that it is really hard to intentionally hit someone in the head and neck area with any pitch.  It is not a spot that pitchers train to throw, so the arm angle and release is…

The only reason the film industry is in Georgia is the unprecedentedly high subsidies offered by the state. Arguably Georgia’s best overall fiscal benefit would be for Disney et al. to leave. It certainly will net-net not be a significant burden for the state.

That’s because the people that don’t like the nets don’t sit there.  I never hear how gross and shitty McDonald’s is when I’m standing in line to get a Big Mac. 

I think your number of “dangerous seats” is high. Even along the baselines, if you are at or near the top of the section (or in the mezzanine or club seats, depending on the ballpark), you should be fine if you are even paying minimal attention. It’s the first 10 or so rows from where the netting stops to probably…

I’m ok with this as long as it applies to hitters as well. Any ball you put in play that hits someone (anyone, be it opponent, teammate, umpire, spectator etc.) in the head, and you are ejected. If a foul tip hits someone in the head, both pitcher and hitter are ejected and the mascots finish the at-bat for their…

I remember when I was working in finance and this black analyst called another guy a “weak-ass n-word” — the manager said “it’s their word so the appropriate thing for me to do is nothing.”

Regarding the first point, I guess both of our takes are just like our opinion man. I say Acuna is better this year, but that is possibly influenced by the fact he is a 20 year-old phenom who has dominated since entering the league last year. And the other guy is a journeyman that has had a hot month.

1. Acuna is in the top-10 in the NL in WAR. Derek is not.  I just looked this up. 

Only the starters are selected by fan voting, so you can have a guy not on the ballot make the team as a reserve without the need for an injury.

That doesn’t tell me it is an unviable route, it tells me that players value the larger salaries/guaranteed money of a multi-year contract (with no clause) over the stability of being able to control where they play (in other words, you would have to give up money to get a NTC). There are of course players who sign…

Both of those players could have demanded a no-trade clause when they signed those contracts. As it was, both players signed contracts that allowed them to be traded.

Should be an E9, or a triple and an E9 for the error of running after the ball like he’s playing in the 40+ beer league. Good grief, was he pulled for that blatant loafing?

Do you mean to sound like you are shilling for BP? Because you sound like someone shilling for BP.

I know this is hard for you to understand, but just because I don’t associate with or support one group of violent assholes doesn’t mean that I associate with or support a different group of violent assholes.

Nah, Antifa is a group of violent, fascist shitheads that you like because you are a violent, fascist shithead who agrees with them.

It is funny to see a radical leftist website turn pro-intelligence because its convenience. Trump isn’t going to pay you for the space in your head.

So you have come up with a constructed reality where no matter what Barr reveals is is “selective” and therefore can only be evidence of a Trump coverup?  It’s as if you are loudly exclaiming that your confirmation bias will prevent you from evaluating information objectively.

On what authority? That seems like a good way for the District Court to be embarrassed and censured. Would be a big separation of powers issue to chill the ability of a legislature to legislate. And pretty sure the state would just tell the court to fuck off. Does the court have a police force to go enforce this…
