I think you are dealing with a rather tightly-wound moron.

Eh, of the four, I would say Tatis Jr is the fringe candidate of that grouping; Bichette is really, really good, but he is a distant third to Jimenez and Guerrero. That said, what’s so good about Freddy Galvis that justifies burying Bichette for two months?

In any event, I just can’t wait until Jimenez makes the jump;…

Digital comics are awesome, I have a third monitor in portrait mode simply for reading digital comics. If I find something I like, I’ll go to the local shop and get the TPB.   Much easier to store and read than the individual issues.  

It’s possible the child(ren) really want to go there, either for a specific program, or because that’s where their friends are going.  

His former boss then used the info contained on the W2 to open numerous credit cards in Joe Girard’s name.

“Wait, the so-called victims are Chinese? Oh, well, that’s a relief, for a minute there I thought you were talking about HUMAN trafficking.”

I don’t understand what Nick Foles has to do with this.

I used to work for a multinational charity, assisting the construction of their giant community centers. They would routinely bring in people from all around the country to staff specialized positions within the centers, then after a couple months they’d figure out how calculators work and determine they can’t afford…

This is true.  I work in MSP, and if you so much as post a resume online, all the antennae swing your way, followed by various levels of management.

It’s weird, because the unnecessary risks to participant’s health are what caused me to stop watching boxing altogether and have led me to phasing out watching football, but then something like this comes out and I want to see it, even though the field is literally strewn with the bodies of those that tried and…

Yeah, sitting in someone else’s taffy with my feet epoxied to the floor by some substance while surrounded by twits asking questions throughout the film is what reminds me I’m not just watching some movie on Netlfix, I’m seeing some fucking art here.

I don’t think “Hollywood” dislikes Netflix out of jealousy, I think it scares them shitless that theaters are well on their way to just being houses of spectacle, and these sentimental tearjerker films will have to go begging to Netflix if they want their work to be seen by a wide audience.

And he has lost a step, on top of that. I feel bad for Philadelphia fans if he can’t live up to even half the expectations that go along with this contract; this could make Ryan Howard's contract look like a bargain.

That’s the thing; Harper had an AMAZING 2015 but has only been just ‘good’ since then. Here is a list of 25 players I could think of, ranked by average WAR-per-162 since 2012:

Trout, 10.09
Betts, 8.85
Judge, 7.27
Donaldson, 7.23
Lindor, 6.74
Cano, 6.3
Votto, 6.27
Beltre, 6.27
Bryant, 6.25
Goldschmidt, 6.16
Arenado, 6.12
Andrelton…

I read the whole thing, top to bottom, and let’s just say that an unusual number of the encounters went to some pretty dark places.

How do you think Kraft picked the place?

While true, that doesn’t really have much effect (particularly in baseball, where the audience trends older anyway). Those that remain on cable/dish just pay more whether they are tuning into those channels or not, and those that pay for streaming rights backfill the difference.

Would have made more sense if they had indicated it was a shootout win.

The next part of that is getting the regional sports package bolted onto the local cable packages; once that is accomplished, it doesn’t matter what is put on the field, the money will roll in regardless. Oh, your broadcast partner might lose some ad money, but they will never have unsold time, and it’ll never get…

Bent Flyvberg, an expert on Olympic budgeting, recently authored a study that concluded that not a single Olympic games has ever come in on or below budget.
