Here’s the thing though, Fangraphs has a BSR stat that measures things like “how often do you tag up to advance from 2nd or 3rd on a flyball”, as well as stolen bases and whether you take 1 base or 2 on a single (or 2 or 3 on a double). Not taking those bases hurts your stats, and that stat goes into their WAR…

I’m a Cardinals fan, but I always listen to the opposing teams broadcasts, because I can’t stand the homer announcers bias and the team can do-no-wrong analysis. And yes, the Pirates announcers were ridiculous about it, they were still talking about it 3 or 4 innings later, but I also heard Dan McLaughlin of the…

“The New York Times editorial board also accused her of “scolding” and fretted that “her brief address” at Davos this year “lacked the usual niceties.””

Someone, please, explain to me what the fuck “white culture” is. 

Dude’s a hack, knows he’s a hack, and is staring down the last ten seconds of his fifteen minutes of fame.  The cracks, they show.

I think Joe Biden is the worst possible candidate in the Democratic field... and I think that Al Franken was downed by a nakedly obvious right-wing hatchet job.

That’s not true. Some of us like that Franken was a strong liberal voice on the hill who didn’t sell himself to corporations to the degree others do. He was good at the job. Screw Biden.

You know JB Holmes totally drives slow in the left lane as well.  A special level of hell should be reserved for people like JB Holmes.

My confusion with Wen’s statement is that while I think I get her main point, that she would like to see Planned Parenthood focus on the healthcare aspects, I legitimately don’t get what she sees that middle ground to be as this is a binary situation. Either Planned Parenthood considers abortion a part of that…

“long believed that the most effective way to advance reproductive health is to be clear that it is not a political issue but a health care one.”

I’m curious what type of action was taken from the person who presented Press with the idea of linking with Barstool, because as she says, someone from her team came to her thinking this would be a good idea.

Amazing diss from Press; 

Think of the hours her publicists billed to diffuse a situation they should have prevented.

“I wasn't aware of the site" is the greatest counter to every piece of marketing Barstool puts out to its little sheltered community

I still remember getting a Randall Terry mailer addressed to the previous occupant of my home, back when I first moved in. He was asking for money for some sort of research project in the Middle East, but he explained that there was a snag because the college he got his Doctorate of Divinity from wasn’t “accredited”…

I’m surprised at the amount of people that seemingly assume because there are only two test dummies, you’re only safe if you match one of the dummies perfectly.

Tell us more about your expertise in African prisons. I mean Africa is one country so they’ll all the same right?  

Why would you pick “Africa” as your comparison? Have you been to jail there? You’ve eaten the rodent of your choice? Do you speak from experience, or is it just like your comment about Swedish jails that’s something “supposedly” to be? Keep your alternative facts to yourself. Regardless of conditions we do know one…
