Don’t bury the lede - are you suggesting we might have only approx. 30-35 more NFL games called by Al Michaels?!? That's wonderful news!

oh yeah, forgot to mention - I did snap off two bolts from the axle while changing a tire on my minivan once and had to drive 100+ miles on a spare that was missing two lugnuts, so I feel that makes me an authority on this.

You would think, at a minimum, they would say you cannot have consecutive lug nuts missing (which would make the mandate 3 of 5) or that you’d go to a three-nut arrangement... or something. Obviously they thought through and invested in the technology involved... odd they would gloss over this component of the…

How do you expect him to get around up there, walk?

I would guess that he wasn’t an “EWI” (entry without inspection); more likely a Fraudulent Entry. Any wall would only address the EWI scenarios, which I’m guessing doesn’t apply to this case.

(I like Bautista, so not co-signing on “fuck that scumbag Bautista”)

The unwritten gets no page impressions which gets no ad impressions. And no wise comments. Who’s wisdom is ridiculous now, Old Beige Guy?

“Imagine if I took 50 shots in a game - with Stanley Johnson guarding me...”

Same here, but I like this introduction to Steve Clifford.

This doesn't seem to offer a whole lot of bat control for directing the ball... Which is the point of bunting.

That's why we don't allow Goose Gossage to play softball against high school girls any more.

I cannot lie - I do like big bundts.

To each their own. I’m not going to try to convince you to like soccer, but saying it’s more boring than baseball is kinda bullshit. Say it’s not for you, but don’t say that your preferred kind of low-scoring affair is less exciting than my preferred kind of low-scoring affair. It all depends on what you find…

The idea of St. Pauli is a lot more alluring than their reality.

It's named after a sea man.

De Jong’s rap sheet is well-documented and I’m not going to take his side on those. His nickname translates to “the lawnmower” for a reason. He’s constantly at the top of lists of most dirty and/or violent players. He clearly has frequent lapses in judgement and his opponents bear the brunt of that. No excuses for…

... Or not. When you’re 6'6" and big (the guy charged), I don’t think you can get a jury to buy “shooting in self defense” unless the other party brandishes a weapon.

Scottie - whoever let you wear those overalls in public that day is not your friend.

The guy drove a H2. That’s all you need to know about the kind of person he is. I’m pretty comfortable concluding he’s a douchebag pussy. It’s a stereotype, but I’m jumping to conclusions based on his choices and actions, not his demographics. That’s how he wants the world to see him: a tough guy with a large vehicle…

Trying to find a way to articulate this, in this context, without coming across as condescending and patronizing (i.e. like many of my “peers” here), but something along the lines of: I respect you for being open in this forum and articulating some of your realities and experiences that the more naive members of this…
