ERA was sort of next level, more difficult than batting average.

Figuring out batting averages at 10 years old, sitting at the kitchen table while listening to Ernie, was a good start at math proficiency.

Whenever I read KBO the pronunciation in my head is KYBO.

I saw a great photo of Norm Cash barbecuing in his back yard, it was one of those little round steel barbecues, and you could see the next couple of backyards, there weren't any fences. It was a solidly middle-middle class environment.

Bob Baun was traded to the Red Wings, went out to dinner with Gordie, and told Gordie how much money he was getting on his Maple Leafs contract. It was a lot more than Gordie was getting from the Red Wings.

I agree 100%, you need local journalism. I pay for my local rag, the Hamilton Spectator, and also for the Toronto Globe and Mail, the only quasi-national paper that does not have a hard right or hard left agenda.

He's still young enough to have a hot mom.

I didn't mind lending you my Lear, but for Pete's sake at least fill up the tank before you return it next time.

Scott Harris: "Also, he's lefthanded and has a pulse". The hubris demonstrated in his comments is not something that I welcome, it reminds me of the Twins 20 years ago. They signed "third baseman" Eric Munson and his hands of stone, and Terry Ryan said "once Gardy and his staff have a chance to work with him he'll be fine". He wasn't fine.

Your Mom is my clone. I agree 100% with her observations, I could not have said them so well. Biden has a tough row to hoe here. As an example on the CBC news recently a Jewish couple from Toronto, leaders in their diaspora community, described how much anti-Semiic prejudice they were experiencing and as a result, more to the point, how much they hate Netanyahu. They hate Netanyahu, they freaking hate him. So Biden is on an island that is getting smaller and smaller, an island that the ultra-progressives have probably already abandoned.

It appears that the answer is that he got $300 up front, $300 deferred, the likelihood of earning about $30 per year, a staff of 10, and use of a royal family private jet. It's a 4 1/2 -year deal. Jon, watch you don't sit on any forensic evidence on that airplane. All the people murdered by MBS will still be dead.

"Having an owner who won't spend" appeared again in a Motor City Bengals article again last week.

Different sport but is Jon Rahm's blood money deal actually better than Ohtani's deal? Did he get $400 million up front?

A week later he puts the same guy on waivers, and turns to the audience with a look of shocked surprise on his face.

Jennifer and Bailey and Ginger and Mary Ann, they are all adequate for the teenaged male fantasist, but none of them can even come close to Mrs. Peel.

Yeah you probably like Ginger better than Mary Anne.

Anthony Badoomboom.

That's it, I'm never coming in here again. I mean it this time.

Oh absolutely it's Bailey, all day.

Spooky.

That is a nice deal for Candelario, it looks like an overpay to me. He'll like Cincinnati, the way that Castellanos and Suarez did.

That's because Scott Harris doesn't want to win. How do I know that? Because he didn't find a creative solution for getting Cabrera off the team last winter.

Good one.

You're struggling to understand it.

You are new here, and will be forgiven some mistakes borne of inexperience. Your post here is unintentionally hilarious because you don't know that you are speaking to, probably, the pre-eminent engineer of this entire community...and you have called him out for being "skeptical of science". It's pretty funny but you will probably get a free pass this time.
