understood, yet they both derive their movement from spin imparted by the pitcher. If a pitcher can impart spin on a curveball sufficient to make it dive, it would stand to reason that a pitcher who is proficient at throwing a slider could spin a pitch with a similar ball.

I’m not sure that guy could dunk on this....

But Kershaw could still magically snap off some ridiculous 12-6 curveballs using those same ‘slick’ baseballs?

In all fairness, it’s easier to have principles with Franken when you have a Democratic governor to appoint his replacement, correct? I think the ‘push’ to get Franken out would be quite different if they thought the seat would go red.

You do realize that his comments were (and I quote), “by not resolving the current debacle to the player and owner’s satisfaction”, and “leadership did not resolve the ongoing situation to the satisfaction of all parties”.

This fight gives me hope for America. I clicked ‘play’ expecting the ND fans to be outnumbered and get thrown to the ground, at which point various dudes with no respect for decorum would come attempt to stomp the prone fans’ skulls to the point of a traumatic brain injury. Alas, only punches were thrown, most guys…

Perhaps he was just warning the South Korean fellow that someone had tampered with his Coke?

Sorry... those explanations don’t hold water. Guy #1 was legit freaked out, not pulling our leg.... knew him for years and would know.

I understand it’s not supposed to work, but I had a couple experiences years ago that were unexplainable. In one, the ‘spirit’ identified itself with a particular name that almost sounded made up. I look over at a guy who doesn’t have his hands on the board, and he looks petrified. He says that is the same name…

check out the mugshot - are you sure you still want to claim this??

I, for one, certainly wish they didn’t spread so easily!!

I could not make it past 1999.... I feel immensely dumber for having seen that “Living in Captivity” promo...

“Since we got this fire going, let’s throw some books on there as well!!!”

i’ve had plenty of Monopoly games take less than 5-6 hours, but mostly because one or all participants finally say “here, please take all my fucking money, just make this end!!”

I don’t know if Kap can help a team or not, he probably can, at a minimum as a backup. I just don’t get why so many people have such strong feelings EITHER way about the guy. He is not MLK reincarnated, nor is he the anti-Christ. He’s taking a knee during the anthem, not giving the middle finger or pulling out his…

Interesting fact... similar to how that Dimaggio started another hitting streak of 16 games after the streak of 56 ended.

The people responsible for this promo are now making North Korean military videos.

I love the “limited supply” caption... no shit Sherlock, I thought maybe you had a bottling operation in the back of the Best Buy...

Maybe they had keys in their pockets?

Yes I live in a 96% area and was thinking, “meh, that’s good enough probably” until I heard someone interviewed Sunday afternoon who said seeing totality was a life-changing event. Then I decided to make the trip to see it, and while not ‘life-changing’ to me, getting to see totality for 2 minutes was worth every hour…
