If Ty Cobb is a Hall of Famer, ethics, integrity, and character are simply not applicable. Cobb was, by all measures, a vile, despicable human being, and one of the greatest ballplayers to have ever lived.

I really think the solution needs to be more radical, in the form of pitchers having to face a minimum of three batters or finishing an inning before coming out of the game. It’s not the time between pitches that slows games down, it’s all of the mid-inning pitching changes.

The pitcher is defined as the guy who starts play with the ball on the mound, in contact with the pitching rubber and delivers the ball to the plate. The catcher is the guy who receives that pitch and begins the play in the box marked directly behind the plate. The other seven guys can play anywhere in fair territory.

I…

If you swat at a cop, you’re gonna get knocked the fuck out. There’s nothing political about it.

I had a moment a couple months ago where some friends and I were somehow on the topic of Presidential trivia when a 6 or 7 year old child joined the conversation and said “I know who the Prisiden is now- Donald Trump!” I got a sick feeling in my stomach, chills went through my body and the whole group was just stunned…

Last summer was their last year in Mankato though. They bought a fancy new place in Eagan.

I think this strategy will pay off for CBS; Trekkies have no problem spending money to support their (our?) franchise, and it’s pretty much universally been proven that Trek is best as a tradional TV program.

It would technically be an allegory, right? Like 5 meta-levels deep, at least.

I also think you might not know the difference between longitude and latitude. “Lat is flat”.

Your eastern bias is delightful. It’s cold in the North, regardless of longitude.

Found not guilty on all counts. His ex-wifre also claimed that he was abusive towards her, for what that’s worth.

Is this a Jewish bear?

I just got to post star #420 for this. My Kinja is all downhill from here.

As a game, yes it’s terrible. As a piece of art... well that’s open to interpretation.

I’m a TC survivor, and 10 day DL seems crazy. I couldn’t walk without limping for a month, much less throw a baseball as hard as I could (and he’s in the NL, so he has to hit too).

Also, not sure why it’s being reported as “suspected” cancer. There was a tumor that had to be removed. What else could it be?

The Official Scorer.

Yes, although I think most people would put an asterisk on this play and append a little note at the bottom of the scorecard indicating that the RF was playing in the infield on this play. By leaving him as “9", you can cross reference the Phillies line-up to see that it was Kelly who made the play.

That’s how I’d do…

“AJ does it in STYLE!”
I see you, Mauro.

I had heard that football in America favors teams that can throw the ball, but this is ridiculous.

(I will save my rant about how absolutely wrong the handspring throw is in soccer).
