Changes to the CBA are the only thing that fixes this type of situation. If players want to get to free agency faster, they’re going to need to negotiate it.  The concept of sitting out when you have 2-3 years left on a contract is sort of silly, it’s going to work for maybe 3-5 guys in the league.  

While I’m all for players getting paid, this whole “Hey, I know we have a contract, but I don’t like it” thing is really getting out of hand.  Real change comes through a different set of rules, not some guy sitting out when he has 2 or 3 years of team control left.  

The craziest part of this whole situation is how much money has been sunk into this thing.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

“Lootbox/gambling mechanics are made to exploit children and uneducated people”

Not just a catcher in his case, but a catcher that’s a bit of a whisperer when it comes to young pitchers, jumps at the chance to help any way he can, and great in both the community and the clubhouse.  Russ is just a great human being all around.  

They aren’t going to go up yet, because the cost of incidents hasn’t gone up yet.  Once it does, and a small incident goes from 1500 bucks to 5 grand, they’ll move.  

“It tastes like static sounds...sort of background noise meshing with annoyance”

I’m far more concerned about the apparently total disregard for bracing on the frame.  That’s going to fold like an accordian.  

No question.  She’s on another level.  

Who the hell signs a three year commitment to save 3 dollars a month?

Anyone who uses both “die-hard fan” and “bum” in conversations about any sport is probably insufferable enough to where walking into an open manhole is an upgrade from talking sports with them.  

This is the perfect comparison. Some artists just push it way outside their genre, and become appointment viewing regardless of whether you like their style. Missy’s definitely in that group.

As someone who owned a switch for about a year and never used it with my TV, this is the perfect device for me.  Can’t wait to grab one.  

I learned it from watching you!

No question...but we’ve also been living in a place where minor accidents like an Audi rear-ending a pickup didn’t cost $15,000 to repair everything, too.  Between the radar stuff and the cameras, we’re close to reaching the place where there aren’t any minor accidents anymore.  

This is actually pretty goddamn funny right here.  

Hey shithead.  Get out of the van and help, or call the fucking cops.  

“Who wouldn’t be pissed?”

“If that was the case, they already would have shut me down.”is so far from “Dear god no, what the hell is wrong with you people?” that I have concerns.
