I know, because it wasn’t even a draft, where picks are one at a time, and each one may be affected by the one before it. It was a list from one team.

I don’t think you start talking about “breaking up” a no-hitter/perfect game until the eight, and until there are two outs in the ninth, I don’t think you act like the pitcher had done it “if only” that one hit hadn’t dropped.

It’s not like this post is endorsing the unwritten rule, but the headline and focus of the post do buy in to the silly notion that a “perfect game” in the sixth inning is something remarkable.

I don’t get the David Perron thing. He’s a “goal scorer” who doesn’t score many goals. Even James Neal, the “sniper” has been less than overwhelming on the score sheet. He does cause commotion on the ice, but is also prone to bad penalties in the offensive end.

Isn’t it kind of silly to use the term “perfect game” in the sixth inning—as if that bunt fractured what was to be a historic occasion ? That early, the odds are overwhelming that the conclusion will be not a perfect game, and probable that the pitcher won’t even have a complete game.

I’ve heard many of these admonitions and recommendations before, especially the “sediment” one, and they make good theoretical sense, but has it ever been demonstrated in an actual study that fuel pumps conk sooner/more often when the fuel level is frequently run low?

With million-dollar players and team fortunes,involvedf it were that simple, do you really think they would have just said, nah, let’s not try that?

It’s not hard for me to guess who the player is. But if you are going so far as to specify who the employee is, name Hossa in your story, and want us to believe that a Hawks player asked $50 for an autograph when he is commonly seen willingly signing autographs but you have to keep the player’s name secret—I guess for…

Let’s see: He got better last season than he was a season before, when wasn’t very good. And because of that, in a full year, when he is 39, he’s going to play up to a level approaching the contract? If you say so.

I can tell I will wait in vain for the name of the player. And in terms of the point of your story, just what is the crucial difference between it being a fan and a nutritionist asking on behalf of her son? And much as I look like an idiot for missing key words, leave my penis out of this!

It’s future production, not past, that is on the Hawks’ mind.

Not sure why you wouldn’t mention names on an anonymous forum, but it gives me reason to dismiss the story. I think if a hockey player anywhere asked a an actual fan for $50 to sign a puck, the story would be well told.

#2 is correct—it is a serious, agonizing condition. But knowing in June that you can’t play for the entire season?

Yes, let’s respond to a correctable problem by fundamentally changing a rule of baseball.

That’s my conclusion: Well, he took aim at the catcher and kept his line.

How can you look at it and say he didn’t deviate from his path to the plate?

Troll = someone who might dare question your evidence-free assertion that odds are incredibly slim that this was a random attack. Your default assumption is that this was a bias act, with zero foundation for it other than that the victim was Muslim.

True, but cap rules make everything tricky. That’s why the supposed flurry of trades that was going to happen before the expansion freeze didn’t happen.

I was under the impression that it was West Point that pushed back. Hard to imagine that a fighter squadron would have much legal claim to a nickname.

Does he not consider that the other GMs will not remember his squeeze play once this is over? Good luck getting a deal done in the future. If there’s a chance to make McPhee’s life miserable in the future, teams will act on it.
