The consensus on Twitter

This is not a “tough” call. It was hit right at him and he bobbled it.

...the consensus on Twitter at the time (among several baseball analysts whose opinions I trust) was that play will generally be ruled a hit 50% of the time.

I clicked through to the L.A. Times article, and here’s what Mattingly thought

Looks like an error to me, that being it was a fieldable ball that the second basemen fucks up.

I love using the option ‘no rush shipping’ where you get $1 credit if you really don’t need something in 2 days. It often arrives in 2 days anyway and you get free money to use towards movies or music. Nice to watch the free rental here and there.

Yeah, I’m totally going to listen to the opinion of the 12 year old who says “CrApple.”

....The Founding Fathers, seriously?

It’s important to note, that any person who is larger then life will leave a wake with a dark undercurrent.

If Apple doesn’t want me to see it, why is on iTunes?

Yeah, it’s always the small expensive things that get me! It’s easy enough to prepare for the financial blow of the flight prices and hotels, but when the place you’re visiting has crazy high prices in general, expenses like food can add up fast, and you end up spending a lot more than you anticipated.

Ray Ray learned from this man

would that really have been worse than having to watch Ray Lewis retire and ride into the sunset with a brand-new Super Bowl ring? It would have profoundly irritated the nascent Seahawks fanbase too, which is always a plus.

Correction - he was on trial for covering up TWO murders.

Fact is, we don’t need another Walking Dead show. And so far they haven’t given us enough reason to warrant it. The characters are extremely unlikable, we already know where the zombie plague is going to be in the next three years or so, there’s just no reason to watch.

Because nothing is safer than taking people who attempt to eat, apply makeup, talk on the phone and drive at the same time and having them attempt to eat, apply makeup, talk on the phone and operate two additional mechanical devices while driving, right? And before you say “Well, they wouldn’t because you just have to…

This kind of sucks for everyone else in the car though.

No shit, heck if the cops can charge you with assault for spitting on them, it should definitely be cause to kick someone out of a business and ban them for life. I think “When she was told we didn’t have the full menu after 2 pm, she spat on my daughter.” would be plenty of reason for why she was banned for any sane…

Mom (pulling her largest butcher knife from the block): “Fine, I will serve you the full menu, but *stabbing her knife into the wooden chopping block* I AM NOT FUCKING HAPPY ABOUT IT.”

Another suggestion: go after achievements / trophies. So many people criticize them, but it’s entirely optional and they add a lot of replay value to some games.
