I don’t dispute any of that, and apply all of those when I’m working a game.  But rather than get into the weeds of all that, I was just trying to fight off the “one plus one” stuff that people use/say.  It’s a phrase I remember from slow-pitch softball games - still *wrong*, of course, but a commonly said thing.  All…

Based on her entry, I want Jessica to be my friend.  That last paragraph alone was hysterical.

Nah, man. That’s kinda why the right tends to win: people on the left want to think well of their fellow man, and that’s why you have that hope there. Then FNC shivs you between the ribs. Only trust the Murdochs when they stop breathing, and have stopped for a while, say, past the point of viable resuscitation.

I can give you “annoying,” since one likes what one likes. But “obscure”? Nah, dude. There’s no extra chapter in the rulebook that disappears, Harry Potter-like, when non-umpires read it. (Not that that wouldn’t be *cool*, but still.)

in which case the runners get the base they were running to plus one more

If it makes you feel any better, you won’t be the ONLY one going to hell for laughing at that .......

No, no - that’s not delusion;  that’s SCIENCE!

Call out what the fuck you want. If you want to stand on the side of the NCAA, that’s up to you. I can’t speak to Wake, Duke, State, UNC, App State, etc - I don’t know who might have offered him or not (which I did say already). Do you? By all means, fill in the gaps, because I don’t know all the details here.

Maybe follow the story. The guy transferred to Tech to be closer to home - two hours closer than before. It’s not about him being right on top of home, but to make it easier for him. And it only misses the arbitrary NCAA limit by five miles. So “doesn’t pass the sniff test” is, at the risk of offending a fellow…

VT grad, so I know I’m biased. But, for fuck’s sake. Kid’s mom had a fucking brain tumor, and he came to play for us to be closer and help with her care. And the town was five miles outside the randomly chosen distance under NCAA guidelines. (Which actually shocked me, since Blacksburg sometimes feels like it’s…

Former resident of Virginia here.  It’s a fool’s errand to try and figure out WHAT is in Cuccinell’s head at any given moment.  Man’s a fucking dipshit.

Yeah, man. It’s okay. Just step away from the slicer.

Uh, Hem?  This may be redundant, but this IS an Arby’s, and you’re just screaming at your meat station.

That must make for some awkward moments in the carpool, then.

Strangely enough, my statement was complimentary, on the ‘Rude’ part. Response re-confirms it, though.

That *seems* like just another day on the bus for you.

Username checks out.

Holy shit. I’m old enough to know better than even ask the question, but how in God’s name was she employed by the station long enough to come back the next day to address this? He should have been sitting next to an empty chair after the next *commercial break*, FFS.

Irony stroked out from overuse by Republicans.

Came here to say this.  Well done.
