We might get it again in the NL this year.

Except when it is Bobby Bo coverage. That is always marvelous.

A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork.... Looks, throws, catches, hustles - part of one big team. Bats himself the live-long day, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don’t field... what is…

i was blown away when it came out. said that it was the most memorable bad guy since hans gruber.

I’ve been skeptical that the tweets themselves could be the crime, but someone elsewhere pointed out they are evidence of his state of mind and consciousness of guilt in the actions he is doing elsewhere.  I thought that was a good point.

This article comes off as taking advantage of the fact that there are a million levels of intricacy that no one that dive into on a Wednesday on a blog to bridge every gap in the argument. Sort of a 90s hacker movie vibe.

It’s giving me flashbacks of [checks notes] all but about 3 years of my Ranger fandom.

All wins against the Rangers come with an asterisk.

no one has been tougher on swingers than me.

Re: “It’s not a Muslim ban.” We should embrace this terminology. It isn’t really a Muslim ban. That was basically the reason SCOTUS upheld it. This the third diluted iteration of a law that the first two were struck down as Muslim bans, until what remained was not a Muslim ban.

I like the idea of 32 teams just because even numbers in each league facilitates fewer interleague play.

The distance from Dallas/Houston is a pretty big factor in favor of Austin or SA. When the Rangers or Astros are good, you’ll see games on in bars, but when the teams are middling, you never think about them in Austin.  There seems to be room for another team here.

How do you explain the ALs dominance in this? It seems like the results should be random. The same players play for one team one year and the other team the next some time. Its crazy, and its stretched out too far now to mean nothing. 18-3 (and 1).

Rick Perry’s Oops tactic is catching on.

My one wish is to live long enough to see where this ends up.
