Reigning, Undisputed, Brawl-For-All Champion Butterbean!

This may seem pretentious, but for me, Shenmue was uniquley trancendant in a Zen sort of way. The way it almost buried the narrative in layers and layers of mundane verisimillitude spoke to the underlying premise that it’s not adventures or heroes or destiny that’s important, but the wonder and beauty of what we…

John Laurenitus was absolutely wrong.

That’s a really poor PR response. Hmm.

It looks like this has already been scrubbed from the Net. Wow.

“Papa John’s”.

Thanks. I was thinking about when the batter steps on the plate while trying to swing or bunt, but you’re right- after the ball is put in play it isn’t not an issue.

I’m pretty sure he also would have been out if he had stepped on home plate.

*Never starts

If you read her lips, she’s saying “That was fair!”. This is a good baseball fan. She’s not upset that he missed the ball, she was upset he was attempting to interfere with a live ball.

There’s a stunningly clever response here involving the US women’s team, but I’m not savvy enough to think of it.

Isn’t that traveling when he takes those two steps back to get behind the arc?

Counterpoint: F*ck you, Jobu.

That’s depression logic you’re using.

When we are ill, it is natural to want to rationalize and justify the felings we are having- that’s how things are supposed to work. The problem is that those are hallucinatory emotions. They’re not real. It’s no different than a schizophrenic coming up with elaborate theories and…

As a lifelong Minnesotan, the best way I have to explain MOA is that it’s a Capitalism-themed Theme Park.

Nobody who lives here really goes to The Mall to shop. It’s like the difference between taking your kids to the playground vs taking them to Disney World.

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…
