“Dammit”

PABLO SANDOVAL: [salivates]

It’s nice to see your political views don’t prevent you being offended by the banal exploitation of the patriotic blood sacrifice of an American.

Fun fact! The word ombudsman is of Swedish origin, and the ‘-men’ ending doesn’t correspond to the English word for a male human being; so the plural is actually ombudsmana.

Remember when people read stuff on ESPN.com?

You clicked on an article called Jake Peavy Had a Truly Terrible Year, and you’re mad that the contents of the article describe how Jake Peavy had a truly terrible year.

This should be fleshed out into a full game.

you’re absolutely reich

That old idea of capital usage is dead. Most of this excess money is invested in arcane financial inventions which are so far removed from the bank borrowing cycle as to be irrelevant to the household and small business lending cycle.

dividends work. I never said they didn’t. But it steers wealth away from the poor and middle class. Econ 101 states you get more furniture stores when more people can buy furniture, not because more banks can offer loans.

“Invested” should always appear in quotes. She aint starting a bunch of small business’ with that cash. It’s being traded back and forth by hedge funds for seconds at a time.

It makes no couches, buys no food. It’s taking the concept of fiat currency to the ultimate end-goal: an agreed upon series of numbers that only the…

I love the idea that if we tax billionaires we will lose their largesse. We would cut off the pearls that dribble from their lips down upon us mere mortals. Wither the art museums? Wither the ice rinks?

While I love that idea, it’s unworkable. The reason pitchers threw so much in the good ole days is because clubs hadn’t sunk as much money into their staff, even HOF arms like Gibson or Spahn or whomever. The bullpen is basically there to protect an investment as much as it is to exploit situational matchups. Not only…

You know what else would speed up the game? Forcing AL pitchers to bat.

You know what we do with terries:

i couldn’t quite suss out what this comment was trying to say, but i starred it anyway because i love the enthusiasm and also the thought of trevor bauer being stuffed with stem cells

How much do you wanna bet that he was an insufferable asshole before the money as well?
