This is a fairly common practice on the CTA; however, I have yet to hear anyone blasting "The Songs of Leonard Cohen" on the train.

Totally required reading back in High School, and even beyond. But back in the day, when his consumer guide would hit the Voice, we studied it like the Talmud.

Oh, and you forgot the almost totally secret Braves deal to move them to the burbs, which no one knew about until two weeks before the vote. But hey, Turner Field is almost 20 years old!

Loved how the Blazers announcer would shout NO MERCY KERSEY after one of his power slams.

You're actually against anyone sticking it to these legal monopolies?

The freebies would have come C.O.D had Marge been in charge.

Yeah, I saw that. Do you think they were laughing when they wrote that stuff?

I'm shocked though that it wasn't part of the original bid process, that they would have domed stadiums, with a few of the bigger venues having retractable domes. Gotta love Sepp!

The Arizona cardinals play on grass, and in a domed stadium; the field is literally on a tray, and they wheel the grass out into the sunshine when it's not in use.

Here's a question no one seems to be able to answer - can you hold World Cup games in domed stadiums? That would seem to be the easiest solution to the heat, and the Qataris are spending a fortune on this, so why not a small fortune more for domes?

So, why did offense seem to disappear after testing became approved? I don't recall them building that many new parks in the last 5 years, or guys growing a few more inches in the same time. But hey, willful ignorance is great!

How often have you used that line, and did anyone think it was funny? But this isn't about Guinness, it's about labor relations in the Book publishing industry.

Nope, it would be like me saying your post isn't about apples and oranges, but a mask regarding farm worker labor conditions. See?

I'm guessing with your level of hostility that you aren't popular with the ladies, or anyone for that matter. What's greater, your BMI or the number of homers that Trout will hit this year?

Someone has anger issues, and it's not you.

So, explain to everyone what drug use from the 50's to the 70's did in terms of impacting the record books? The 1970's had one season of 50 home runs; guys were barely making it to 40. You honestly think Luis Gonzalez and Brady Anderson were legit 50 home run hitters?

It's not a strawman. It's taking their absurd stance to it's absurd conclusion.

Do you think the Deadspin writers back in the 1940's would have considered Jackie Robinson's entry into the game as a labor issue masquerading as a civil rights one?

If he was a really good guy, he would give that MVP award he stole from Frank Thomas to its rightful owner.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who ate their Pizza and said "you know what, I've had a lot worse". Kicks the ass of Tombstone or Jack's, From Your Grocer's Freezer (TM).
