I was QB in high school on an option team, and my line at the end of many a game was something like 4-6 with 2 picks.  My floaters would never touch the ground.

Oddly, the only one there with a suit that fits is the previously-mocked TJ Ford.

That scenario might mean the Astros were battling the A’s/M’s up the very end, so there is a good chance they don’t get to set up their rotation for the wild card game and just have to roll with whatever the rotation is.

Rangers took 1-run win luck all the way to the playoffs as recently as 2016.  Just because regression is coming doesn’t mean it’s coming this year.

‘Against some law’ is different from contempt. You asked why it wasn’t contempt. The judge talks about contempt because that is the enforcement power that he has. If it is illegal because there is just some criminal law that it violates, then that is a different issue which might involve grand juries, police, and what…

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.

He is. His baseball reference page is my favorite. And my favorite part of my favorite page are these 20 consecutive seasons listed below:

(even the second one)

For all the hate lawyers get, their value showed here.
