There were some seriously good lines in this. I have to give this one about Star Lord some serious props.

This comment needs so many more stars.  And I need to go find an octopus.

The Lions get to play @ Arizona week 1. Yay!

Well the Jets do play the Dolphins and Bills twice.

JS Guiguere and Kipprusoff can kiss my ass.

You could say his son burned him because he was on fire.

How can you not suggest up, down, up, down, left, right, left right, b, a, b, a, select, start as the code?

Unlike most NHL players it appears this punishment has teeth.

ground out and bases loaded walk.  Nothing out of the infield.

The metrics would be defined by performance relative to the league average.

If the average 2B hit 1 HR every 70 at bats and you hit 1 HR every 35 at bats that’s your performance relative to the mean. If the team wants to sit you that’s fine. You can’t hurt your HR per AB stat when you’re not batting.

Players sign contracts for a set number of years with the first year salary established. Based on performance metrics* their salary increases or decreases from there with caps on how much it can increase or decrease over the…

Really on the lose for Hughes bandwagon so the late season surge has been irritating but AA and Larkin are going to be scary good. The foundation to get better is taking shape.

Enjoy it while it lasts.  There’s some promising young talent that looks like they’re ready to breakthrough.  I’m hopeful Fed can still win 1 or 2 more major titles before that happens.

Did the Opelka match in Miami feature any breaks of serve?  I saw the 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 box score but no details.

I know none of you care about my fantasy baseball team.  I’ll just say I have one.  I do a bit of research and I pay attention to thing.  I recognize 3 of those names.  I MIGHT roster one of them.  Most teams have at least 1 player you’d like to have...

Experiences like this help shed a light on things nobody understands.  I appreciate your openess and willingness to share.
