Yeah. I’ve thought the same. Every time a trade is made, there is so much hand wringing. We just gave up four future Mike Trouts for that guy!

Two decades ago is another one. When the Astros got Randy Johnson, it was the NLs first taste of him. He made a mockery of it, going 10-1 in 11 starts with 4 complete game shut outs. 1.28 ERA in the roid-filled late 90s. Finished 7th in the Cy Young voting in the NL, where he only played for half a season.

Urban Texas. My group is mid-30s to mid-40s, well educated, tech savvy people — as online-friendly as any demo out there. And they beg for the personal recommendation.

This does not ring true to me. Anecdotally, the domestic workers around me are in such high demand that everyone begs for you to tell them who your [x] is, and the employers are slow to give out names because they fear they will be hired away.

I feel like nothing makes someone more American than massive credit card debt.

I just feel like none of this matters. Everyone is going to run out the clock on Trump, and everyone will go back to being buddies once he’s gone. I think Europe knows this is Trump, not America.

I forget over here you just call them ‘sausages in the mouth.’

There is some no-familiarity-with-the-game level baseball terminology usage in this post.  That dude’s not the catcher.  That thing’s not the plate.

• Ferret-legging: the sport of trapping live ferrets in your pants

Recall he is the reason prime Mike Napoli was jettisoned from the Angels. Don’t need Mike when that sweet sweet 52 OPS+ is sitting right there.

Who would have thought this woman was dishonest?

Serra looks built like your standard issue mountain.  Wise to tussle with him.

To be fair, facts are very insulting to Republicans now.

Is that a strike zone in your pants or are you just facing Scherzer?

It appears the future involves lots of Keystone Light, so that’s a plus.

I’m a Rangers fan. Price is weird because I hear his name as some stud but he always seems like he sucks every time I watch him. Turns out it is for good reason: his splits show a 5.63 ERA against the Rangers, highest against anyone except his one outing against the Mets.

This is rock solid gold.

Estoy Ricardo Diego, bitch.
