“I’m on medication. Doc says it would be dangerous to drink.”

This “on accident” stuff needs to be banished.

Most probably.

NL Central demonstrates that most teams in baseball are just bad.

Meaningless game. Few of the best players representing. A zero-zero game tipping to the underdog on a free kick. “Stunner in every sense of the word.” I guess writing about soccer has to be as operatic as the game itself.

When your fitness center is in a hospital, you don’t want to see scrubs in the locker room. My center bans green scrubs (surgical).

I get most of it, but I don’t think most people think $100 for decent sneakers is anything crazy. Not for something you use constantly for 1 to 3 years and that can have a fairly significant bearing on your comfort and fitness. And this is coming from the guy who tells us to spend $2,000 on a men’s suit because that…

Because there was so much happening, and it was impossible to follow merely by watching the picture of the live action.. How dare they not devote every second to narrating the Sox’s season of willful losing.

I’d love to see the unions run the schools—and be accountable for the budgets. They might start allocating resources based on productivity and effectiveness

You are disbelieving a rape survivor’s story?

One thing: whether those things are myths, some parents take stock in them and there are large numbers of high schoolers getting the surgery.

Wait a minute: a top-100 prospect for Robertson = a team willing “to kill for” Robertson? Not sure about your police work there, Lou. Frazier I assume actually counts as a minus in any deal. I don’t deny they look to unload all those guys. But the real haul has been made.

No, I just know how condescending comments that don’t actually make a specific argument work.

Kill for? The market will decide, as it will for the other two guys. So far, no one has tried to kill for Robertson. We will see what the deadline brings.

Yeah, but that’s true fire sale stuff. Expensive Robertson; and castoffs. Sox fans would chip in to see Frazier go.

I don’t know about “start of the fire sale”—in terms of current valuable players going for young prospects. More like the winding down. They don’t have much else besides Robertson and his big contract that are going to fetch you much.

But in the long run they are forgoing a substantial part of the potential universe, one they can’t offer advertisers. Advertisers will get wise to the fact that many just won’t view videos—just as they got wise that banners were ignored. Fox might not care about the “customer” (the viewer), but the customer is the…

How was he the best player—by acclamation?

I don’t know how it happened, but every Lions game I saw the world’s greatest receiver never did anything. He certainly led the league in reputation; amazing what a good nickname will do.

The quest for truth isn’t advanced by articles such as Tyler Kepner’s in the Times, in which he contemplates the surge in home runs and writes
