Beyond the overall stats that RIghtFielder correctly points out, you seem to be missing some outlandishly good Verlander performances in the playoffs.

For example, in the 2012 ALDS and 2013 ALDS against Oakland, Verlander pitched 31 innings and struck out 43 batters while giving up 1 run. This includes two deciding…

Not a bad point, but he’s had 4 starts against them this season — two horrendous (like 4IP and 9 runs type of things) and two very good (e.g., 7IP and 2ER).

Not saying 50/50 is great, but he has a record of success, this year, to draw from if he faced them in the 2017 playoffs. The dude is uber-confident and if he gets…

My wife, under pain of death to the DJ, banned some of these songs at our wedding (e.g., Chicken Dance; Hokey Pokey; Sweet Caroline).

That said, even though she/we don’t particularly like the Macarena or YMCA, we said it was fine if we played a few of them and I’m glad he did: those songs bring onto the dance floor…

They’re not, as far as I know, except for *maybe* on Cartoon Network’s Boomerang channel (which I have never once had — and I have had some pretty wide-ranging cable packages over the last few years, as I have kids).

I have a few DVDs, so I show them that; there are some compilations of scenes on YouTube, but I think…

Somewhat related: I strongly recommend showing Foghorn Leghorn cartoons to today’s youth, who did not grow up on that kind of stuff.

They are completely gobsmacked by his continuous shit-talking and his rampant handing out of physical abuse, usually with a 2x4. It’s all quite enjoyable.

Yeah, if I would have tried this, even in my athletic prime, I would have ripped my shoulders out of their sockets and then plummeted to my death.

But this guy? As the old folks liked to say, he was built like a brick shithouse.

Oh my, she literally just watched an episode from this season this morning — I came downstairs right as the guy somehow screwed up his baked Alaska and dumped it in the “bin.”

I commented, “Well, that’s too bad...at least he has nice hair” and took my leave.

Yes, I will have to share these with my wife. She recently got into past seasons of GBBO on Netflix and I mean *really* has gotten into it; I don’t watch the show, so I have been a little taken aback by how much she’s gotten into it.

I came home the other day and she was openly weeping during one of the season…

That’s a fair point. Then Louisville should use more that some that sweet, sweet ESPN / ACC money to pay off the debt.

Additionally, it is good that the area surrounding Yum! has gotten better. But unless the TIF area is unusually restrictive (and perhaps it is) the increase in property value along Main and Market…

“Expand video production”, huh? This just seems like a race to “little content” as opposed to “different content” (video, instead of written, in this case).

Foxsports.com went to this model a couple months ago, and I assume it has even more resources than Vice Sports. Yet when you go to http://www.foxsports.com/college-…

You know “Latin” and “White” aren’t mutually exclusive, right?

For example, this is South Florida, home of huge Cuban immigrant population. The large majority of Cubans self-identify as white.

Good point. How did it feel when you beat Indianapolis Crispus Attucks High in the state final?

Yep, that’s how I know I’m getting old — as I watched that I thought, “Man, he can still JUMP, let alone dunk, after running all that way?”

Looks pretty fun and relatively harmless, as far as teen dude goofing off goes, but it will be something when ones of these guys tries to dunk on something like my son’s 9.5 foot portable hoop — the whole thing, as it is not built/anchored for dunking, will collapse on the person, likely causing great bodily injury…

Yes, the Q Line is a joke. It’s amazing Detroit had the example of the People Mover, starting itself in the face, and chose to build yet another limited, slow, fixed transport system. But Gilbert and Penske had the money, the pull, and the federal grants and got a system that will work well for their little area — and…

You’re mostly right, in my opinion — Detroit’s downtown (and surrounding area like the Cass Corridor, “District Detroit”, etc) will, within literally the next 2-3 years, be nicer than it has been since the 1960s. It will have a gilded cage of “urban niceness” from the river all the way to the Fisher Building. Still…

This is a good insight. Having a 20 day old video on Bob Stoops as your “top” story does not indicate this is place with much interesting going on.

I just went there and clicked on “golf” — the newest videos are “US Open Highlights” (from June 19) and “US Open lacked superstars on its final days” (from June 21). There…

Sure, it’s not a huge giveaway. I don’t think losing Lou Williams is much of a concern, for example — he is older, didn’t do particularly well as a Rocket shooting (and even at his best, is just good not great) and doesn’t play much D. A replacement can be found.

Yes, to quote the south side of Chicago, about Montero: “He gone.”

Yes, this seems like it will be an entertaining, high-end mess. You have two alpha dogs who want the ball in their hands as much as possible, yet they are different “alphas” — Paul berates & demands and Harden is non-confrontational and goes with the flow which he expects to go through him (which D’Antoni designed the…
