This is one of the best scenes in the movies (the whole clip), but what has always bothered me is when Scales slides into home (:17) you see the ball fly out of the catcher’s mitt. Hey Billy, the pitcher isn’t backing up the plate — maybe do your fucking job and get your guy to third.

So, so true. And, to varying degrees, I think the stigma of mental illness is beginning to fade. So many people have been affected by mental illness, either personally or through their loved ones — sadly, as you mentioned, it comes at the cost of so much heartache. Yet it still remains off the radar. I don’t know if…

I certainly wouldn’t that. Thanks for pointing it out, I may have heard that stat in a documentary so I certainly have nothing concrete to support it — but as you shared, the hard research does exist. Those studies a little bit outside of my own (my iPad just hit capacity from medical/clinical chemistry research), so…

You’ll have to pry the Aloe Vera Kleenex® from my cold, dead hands.

Stop pushing (also wiping and/or flicking) your beliefs on me!!!

As a nose blower, I am deeply offended by your absolutist view of booger related protocol.

That research actually does exist. There was a study that showed a higher rate of PTSD in similarly aged children in Compton compared to those in Afghanistan. I have questions about controls and the mental health evaluation between the two groups. I have no citations, but the research itself does exist.

I came here to say the same thing! And, come to think of it, has anyone ever seen them in the same room?

It’s very gritty.

That fucking guy, again. I’m surprised he didn’t make a crack about one of the female players dusting the mantle. As the CEO of Indian Wells, he should get down on his knees and thank god every night that Venus and Serena came back after boycotting the place for 13 years.

I only specified Cincinnati and Kentucky. So, if Dulles or Reagan was in Kentucky, then I suppose D.C. would be in Kentucky. But I take no issue with Virginia or D.C. (well, not geographically), so I’ll keep other people’s business out of my mouth, err, off my keyboard.

They say that as a team grows, it will begin to take on the personality of the city. This is another great example of the progress Tommy Bowden has made with the Zips. Fear the ‘Roo indeed.

As an Northeast Ohioan, I would like to go on record that I, along with my neighbors, refuse to recognize Cincinnati as part of Ohio. If your airport is in Kentucky, so is your city.

Ugh... Thank you! Saying “on accident” needs to go away when recess does.

It sounds like some of the guys didn’t like Drake being in the clubhouse because it was a distraction when so many games and road trips are Back to Back. The whole situation makes the front office look pretty Meek.

My guess is that it was a can of Tuf-Skin. It’s everywhere in training rooms. It’s pretty sticky stuff and, after bout 15 seconds, it won’t run or rub off once it dries — in fact, it can be a bitch to scrub off your skin. Athletic trainers use it under pre-wrap and tape, and sweat won’t even take it off. Whoever the…

Haha. Ironically, JB Bickerstaff picks up two things off of the scorer’s table; There’s the spray can covered in med tape (I’m guessing it’s Tuf-Skin) and that little gray bottle. It actually is stick-um made for the bottom of shoes. So not only is Dwight not trippin’, he also won’t be slippin’. (I apologize for that…

Plot to Trot

The guy who threw the inbounds pass deserves a lot of credit for taking his time and letting Texas leisurely set up in their 2-3 ‘prevent’ press. That extra bounce or two let Jesperson leak out to the side and, with no one on the ball, catch a clean pass at about 35 feet. Texas can defend the pass but can’t defend the…

Well, to be fair, it’s takes a little while to clean out a desk.
