Despite all of his problems, Lamar Odom has always seemed to be a good guy with a lot of personal demons the likes of which I am lucky not to be able to truly simply don’t have the reference point to appreciate or understand. He’s had a life of considerable tragedy, including the loss of a child. If it happened to me,…

Basically, this. This piece reeks of entitlement. How many people were at this conference? Do all of them, or some of them, or even two of them have to be more uncomfortable because of your child?

For me it comes down to one point: Did the author specifically ask whether she could bring the baby? If she did, then sentencing her to a breastfeeding room without warning is a jerk move on the part of the organizer, no question.

I don’t have kids yet. Let’s get that out of the way. While reading this article I kept noticing how the author kept mentioning how quiet her baby was. That’s great, -if it’s true. But let’s not forget that we all tend to be biased towards our own. People never think their dogs will bite someone, or that their kids…

I agree, but it’s the not-so-self-aware moms that ruin it for everyone.

New parents can be a special kind of entitled. It’s funny.

Look, I love babies. I like moms (some of them). But if I was invited to speak in from of hundreds of people, do a book signing, and participate in an intense professional conference, I’d arrange for child care for the day. No, you can’t bring your baby to work, sorry. That includes adjunct teaching. Advocate for…

The Dodgers need Kershaw to get it done or he’s going to be baseball’s Peyton Manning

I really hope this doesn’t mean a repeat of the 1998 Ice Storm

Thanks for giving no context as to how bad 1997 was. And no, a link to a 20+ page PDF doesn’t count.

So the 21-year old with a 5-year old was being irresponsible? Get out of town.

“No matter who I talked to for this story, from dispensary owners to cultivators, I heard the same thing when it came to regulations: Everyone desperately wants to be compliance with the law.”

While the rule needs to change and the result of Coghlan’s slide was brutal, there is a key difference in the two plays. Coghlan slides wide, but on time and stays between 1st and 2nd. Utley slides late and past the base. Big difference.

He didn’t start to slide until he was nearly past the base. People can say he was ‘playing hard,’ ‘gritty’ or ‘tough’ all they want, but Utley did not make one ounce of effort to actually touch the base. He was on a mission to send Tejada flying to prevent the DP. Mattingly playing the hand of New York Media…

When you put up the guise of actually trying to slide into second base, that’s fine.

Oh, fuck off.

Actually, most of us give zero fucks about the mets. Fuck Utley because baseball.

“Fuck Chase Utley.”

That wasn’t a slide so much as a rolling tackle. MLB has moved to protect catchers from career-ending injuries at home, it’s time they started doing the same for middle infielders.

That WILL be the rest of the series.
