My son struck out looking the other night on a 3-2 pitch that was a foot off the plate and eye level. He was pissed about it, so told him not to be, because the umpire had switched to his “It’s 17-0 and 9:30 on a Thursday night” strike zone, and was just trying to get all of us home sooner.

This is a butt take. 

“Entertaining” and “irritating” have very similar syllables and vowel sounds. I understand your confusion.

You think Torts is pissed, how about Jack Johnson’s parents who now have to buy 4 houses in Pittsburgh!

We’ve all been there, Ryan.

This is correct.

It would be hard for the Rockets to defeat the Warriors in the Finals, as that is impossible.

I dont think anybody really believes the Rockets will defeat the Warriors in the NBA finals.

And toilets.

Umm, I think you’re forgetting about someone...

As someone who played outfield in HS and college, I have no idea why we build fields encompassed with brick. Surrounding a basketball court, football field, etc in brick seems silly, but it’s somehow the norm in baseball.

I’m both envious of you and sad for you. After years of following my kids through years of as many different sports as they wanted to play, my time on the sidelines is coming to a close (daughter is in college and son is sophomore in high school). The best part of my adult years has been coaching, informally helping…

I blame the parents for letting their kids be so into video games. When I become a parent, I’m sure I’ll end up buying my kids a console, but they won’t be able to play it for more than an hour at a time and they’ll be forced to be active in all kinds of sports! And while they’re outside playing or at practice, I will…

Booooooooo.

Kinda. I’m just nit-picking at correct terminology. That was a catch and release, albeit a quick one. One-time is where there is no corralling the pass.

It pains me to do this(it really doesn’t, i thrive on this) but that’s not a one-timer.

Wow, she’s lucky they didn’t have to send away for some special really tiny instruments.

Need the land first. They are at my parent’s house. I’m a lowly apartment dweller.

If you aren’t searching for tools for a specific task, you can buy really nice stuff on craigslist usually. I ended up with a complete set of awesome tools via an estate sale where the kids had zero interest in their fathers hobby and were just trying to dump a complete wood working shop quickly. Now, I just need to…
