I was hoping for snark. All I got was apathy. This was a Lame Post.

Burneko writing about things he knows a lot about is delightful. Burneko writing about things he knows nothing about is insufferable. I think this is true for most writers, but he really drives the point home.

It’s not scary. You’re just weak.

He likely wasnt going to make it to the end—-had 108 pitches when they took him out, although at that point he had arguably slightly outpitched MadBum. So, at best you would have simply skipped Reed, who was not the guy who blew the game anyways.

Never take Noah out. 2 awful pitching calls in 2 WC games.

Historically speaking, if someone in Czechoslovakia orders you to the oven, you’re quite happy if you’re taken to a kitchen.

Neil Walker: very capable, not an outfielder.

Not a Mets fan (I root for the Evil Empire) but I think they have a really good chance tonight—the only thing the Giants REALLY have over the Mets is the aura of the “even year championship run” or the intangibles like veteran world series experience.

Neil Walker is a capable 2nd baseman, not an outfielder.

Then you would be ensuring that you are practicing good consent and, in the unlikely event of being falsely accused of rape, would have evidence exonerating you! Everybody wins!

Football throw boy isnt the preeminent political thinker of our time. Shocking.

I know he’s a kid, but it would have been glorious if when they threw him the signed ball it hit him in the other arm. Then they’d sign another ball and hit him somewhere else. Sitcom cut to him in the hospital in a full body cast covered in signatures.
