I believe Vierling is possibly the most under appreciated player on this team. I’ve become a big fan of his this year.

Tons of energy for a ps game.

Greetings from beautiful Chicago, Illinois!

Happy Sku-Day! hmmm… that doesn’t really work…

I'm getting so drunk on election night. I'll be as nervous as a big boobed porn star on a date with mushroom ****.

Fromm is decisive. Sudfeld looked unsure. Hooker is raw but electric. Hopefully we don't have to see any of them in a close game this coming season.

Not the $/byte, it's the MPG* for the fingers...... (*Miles per Grain of ibuprofen)

All three of their recent championship teams were like that. Conventional wisdom would say that a team like that would be good during the season but wouldn't be built for a championship.

On a totally unrelated note, if anyone sees a stumbling drunk man in the 200s level wearing a white Manu jersey, it’s definitely not me.

He is boring because he is pretty good at every aspect of the game, but not great at any one thing. The sum result is an average player and an average player is a good player.

Jason "I've used all my good karma for the week" Foley with the save.

This just came up on my Facebook feed second ago.

At the risk of not overthinking, I’m going to play my best players at playoff time.

I would only change your sentence’s initial 4 words of “The problem with Trump” to “The truth of Trump” in order to make this the definition of the man his whole life.

Is a more sophisticated way of saying what most of us here have already understood: you aren't changing many conservative minds. For too many conservatives too much of their personal identity is tied up in being anti-dem. They literally do not have the imagination to envision life on the 'other side'. (as an aside, maybe more capability for imagination is why many who did make the jump to anti-Trumper were the more creative types like the guys in the Lincoln project.) So the battle has to be fought for the non-political middle. You do that by being as reasonable/acceptable/mainstream as possible. And you have to drive your base. One thing I haven't seem as much commentary about that I thought was significant is that while there is always some, this convention has to hold some kind of record for numbers and intensity of calls for the volunteer participation.

That’s how I remember the Giants team that won 3 World Series recently.

Cannot wait to get this kid in a Wings uniform I'm trying to be conservative in my projection for him, so I'll say he'll only be slightly better than Ovechkin

2 WAR is an average player, so if you had a team of "2 WAR" players including pitchers you'd win 81 games. So, if you have mostly 2 WAR players and a few really good players (4+ WAR), you've got a contender.

smoking is probably a big piece as it contributes more than just the lung cancer deaths to the gender disparity - it also drives COPD/emphasyma and cardio vascular disease. Men who won't go to the doctor until it's too late - esp older men, would be an interesting one to have data on. We all know cases of that anecdotally.

To the gulag you go!!!

You should float thru the tailgate for USC @Hongbit we will have ham sammiches

I haven't made it to the game after the tailgate on multiple occasions.

WOOP WOOP! that was the craziet 5-pitch 9th I've ever seen.

I'm probably rooting for Parker Meadows more than any other position player. He's a true difference maker and that type of player is very rare.

Keith knocks Greene in!

Zzzzzz I'm awake!

this is amusing

I've noticed the synchronization is better as well, even though the problem happened across multiple seasons. Maybe someone new came aboard, saw the thing no one there knew or cared about, made a quick adjustment, and fixed it.

when is stevie going to just bite the bullet and pay them? the longer he waits, the more the price goes up.

In case nobody answered, gates open at 11 AM;

that's been u$c's recruiting strategy for the last 60 years!

I’ve switched audio over on mlb.tv to the radio feed with Dan and it’s perfectly synchronized and it didn’t used to be like that.

JJ peer pressured into the butt slap.

Maybe we can get choreographed NSYNC dance routines on home runs instead of the pizza spear next year.

Half of the guys on the ads in Idaho look like they’re the Unabomber.

Dan is G and not PG.

Riley Greene slapped his rear end when he arrived at second base on that standup double. So does he think he’s Deadpool or something?

Javy on the ten day IL, lumbar spine inflammation and hip inflammation which gives Sweeney lots of playing time.

You don't need tests to know that Baez should be shut down'...though they might be helpful if you want a medical reason in addition.

She's a great card player obviously. I have nothing and I demand you give me your cards.

Yeah that sucks and I struggle to understand why any of those things would prevent them from having an intern(s) or somebody shoot and edit it.
