Lincoln or Clinton probably would have nailed it. Maybe JFK or paradoxically, Nixon. GWB, while making a ton of costly mistakes, always seemed to me to be a man of conscience who made his mistakes truly thinking they were for the best. He wasn’t exactly erudite, but he could give a good speech in his own way. The rest…

I wonder, could a dude with a really huge hand like that throw some weird-ass pitch that most people couldn’t? Seems like you’d be able to get some really weird late rotations on the release or something.

Well that’s why I specifically talk about home run records. Steroids aren’t going to magically turn any jamoke into even a .100 hitter, but extra strength absolutely extend the range of someone who is already a world-class hitter into someone you almost can’t afford to pitch to bases empty.

Yeah and juicing also helped the pitchers of the day. These guys were dominant and would have been dominant regardless of what they used. I’m torn on the whold Bonds HR record thing since that is something that is very heavily tied to a hitter’s raw power, but saying guys who were all time greats need asterisks just…

I don’t know about using thier phones, but they certainly went to the bathroom while writing those takes.

Probably already been answered but since I can’t actually figure out how to read anything in the greys he’s trying to describe fixing a leaky faucet by tapping it with a wrench.

I’m sort of surprised that anyone really went to the trouble to fudge the voting. Sitting there pressing buttons 35 times to vote for a -Rios+Dyson lineup was about all I had the attention span for.

I get not wanting players fucking around with their phones while they’re on camera, but who gives a shit if a dude is playing peggle or whatever on the crapper? Fuck the narc-ass attention seeking “journalist” who called him out and then wrote an article on how he didn’t mean to.

No, you can’t whitewash that story with the nephew. Either it’s not true or I really don’t want to see her anymore. I don’t want to see Ray Rice or AP play anymore. I’ve basically given up on the officially sanctioned concucssion train that is the NFL and the report about Denver (my team)‘s owner trying to get cops to…

The positions where there’s actually a debate are positions where the vote is close. The team has an astounding tally of runs saved, and Cain and Gordon are good hitters as well.

I really don’t get people who complain about the content of a show like this based on books that have already been written. What do you want HBO to do, rewrite the books? It’s not like all the bad shit just started, the whole underage child slave bride thing should have been in season 1.

I think the next book has the potential to set things back on track. The last one seemed to be Martin realizing he couldn’t actually advance the plot he had in mind in an interesting way and going “fuck it, here’s an entire book of me moving people around, nothing ‘real’ happening, and two-page descriptions of food”.

Someone who was watching the game please explain what the fuck he was attempting to do

This is it, folks. We’ve officially reached the point where using your stupid ass cellphone in public spaces is now considered a “private” act

White people aren’t responsible for racism though, dysfunctional states are. “White” is a skin color, and stories like this should just prove the idiocy of treating “race” (skin color) as an actual important boundary between people.

Oh, definitely. I didn’t really personally appreciate the systemic extent of the police violence problem until reading a few compilation articles detailing just how many incidents are (that we know of). I just feel like this lady is probably a bit not right in the head and is being crucified in the media mostly…

I’m thinking about the fact that some girl is probably mental and made up a bunch of shit because she wanted to be black got 8 articles on gawker. Meanwhile it takes like 15 unarmed black folk to be straight up murdered by cops to warrant 1.

It also honestly just makes you look like a smarter and more competent on the boss/personell management side of things and doesn’t really take anything away from you as a coach.

“Is her husband part of this charade or is he also just learning that the woman he previously thought was just light-skinned is actually a whole other kind of light-skinned?”

I’ve got a tactical combat roll I’d like to teach ya.
