  1. The first nuclear missile from NATO should be on Putin's palace in Sochi.
  2. Tider337 is a proponent of the "clean outing" in which your inherited runners do not score, and none of your own batters score either. The inherited runners thing is huge. There was a guy here, Zach Miner, who would come in and give up a 2 run double and then settle down and keep his own ERA nice and low. Shane Greene's greatest value, I always thought, was before he was the "closer". He was the high leverage guy who could come in with runners on and put out a fire.
  3. Lol at Benintendi, the way that Miggy ran his arm on that medium fly ball. He'll never hear the end of it.
  4. Yes, there are 6 guys in the lineup who are at or below the Mendoza line and he isn't one of them.
  5. Good feature on OSINT on PBS News right now
  6. Yes, surprising from someone who seemed to be so good natured.
  7. They were on the same team yes, hence the R on Ron's uniform. Norm didn't want the N, didn't think it was necessary.
  8. It's because they are cheap, and Rogers has this stupid idea that listening to the TV guys on the radio is the same as listening to the radio guys. The outcome will be that Buck Martinez the super-annoying TV guy will talk even more, if that's possible.
  9. If I am not mistaken, Norm Cash refused to wear a uniform with N Cash on it. He was insulted by the idea that fans would need the N to be able to figure out who he was.
  10. I am thinking of Leslie Nielsen, firing his gun at his own car as it rolls down the hill.
  11. Come on everybody, Zelenskyy is the Leader of The Free World. Listen to him, and do exactly what he tells you to do. This means you Blinken, understand your role, you are subordinate to Zelenskyy. Obey Zelenskyy's commands and deliver to him everything that he needs, he shouldn't have to shame you into doing it. Russia was a nuclear threat a month ago, before a whole bunch of generals got killed and a whole bunch more got replaced and a whole bunch of old KGB guys got imprisoned. If Putin gave the nuclear order today, would it be carried out, or would it be the last straw before a military coup? Is Putin still a nuclear threat? I don't think so. A month ago I wanted to avoid a military conflict at all costs, but now I think with every day that passes that Putin does not have a nuclear option. So I say to you, the United States, obey your leader, Zelenskyy, and move in the NATO weapons and personnel to kick the living shit out of the Russians because there isn't a thing that they can do about it. But that is just me and how I have evolved over the past month.
  12. I couldn't understand any of that but I am hoping for Rorke's Drift, not the Alamo.
  13. Fabulous. My great-great-grandfather is the original immigrant on my father's side, he was born in Hawick in Scotland in 1812 and came to North America in 1832 to seek his fortune. Never saw his parents again but wrote letters frequently, some of which we have.
  14. Vladdie Jr had 14 total bases tonight, including 2 HRS off Cole. The video is awesome, and I love the sport jacket that you put on when you get back to the Blue Jays' bench after a home run.
  15. I was thinking more about a kid who farts a lot.
  16. Kutter? Someone named their kid Kutter?
  17. Hutchison is getting a chance to beef up his WHIP a bit.
  18. Triple7even was recognized at a game by DD, who obviously had seen his avatar here.
  19. The Strategy Expert had a black box that determined OE%, a proprietary measurement whose formula he would not disclose. I don't recall that anyone was reading his mind though.
  20. No pixie dust for Lange today.
  21. Lefties are "wily". They are "wily portsiders".
  22. Without Javy Baez the Tigers would be 0-4.
  23. Michael Fulmer knows how to win.
  24. That home run looked like a particularly vicious serve of a tennis ball.
  25. From the center field camera the batter was a lot bigger than the pitcher
