  1. I understand the intentional walk, but why on a 1-2 count? If you're going to walk him, walk him. Don't wait until you've almost got him.
  2. It's kind of pointless. Believers make God the most important thing in their lives and non-believers don't see him as real. So, there is no way of ever coming to an agreement. Still, I find these kinds of discussions interesting. I just don't get upset about it.
  3. The question was whether Jesus mentioned homosexuality. I know that many Christians believe that the Bible was dictated by God/Jesus, but some agnostic Christians see Jesus as a person separate from the Bible.
  4. It is still the best language I have ever used.
  5. UMass Lowell had plenty of majors for less intellectual students. The problem is I taught FORTRAN programming which some liberal arts majors took as an elective to fulfill their foreign language requirement!
  6. I have not read Sowell. By the way, college was a great experience for me personally. I put a lot into and got a lot out of it. It's not for everybody though and I think too many people are going to four year colleges for no good reason. They waste they own time and water down the learning of the more serious students.
  7. I wish I knew about investing earlier than I did. I was good about saving, but didn't know anything about investing. Of course. back then if you just put your money in the bank, you could make some money.
  8. The pitching really has been amazing. If you were told at the beginning of the season that the current group of pitchers was going to be your staff, you would have said that it would be one of the worst in baseball.
  9. I am lucky to be in a situation where almost all my students are bright and motivated, but I have encountered unmotivated students at other schools. In my experience, there are a lot of students who have no business being in college. They are more disinterested than stupid. They are wasting their time and money when they they could be learning a trade and making money. I guess that is where the personal finance class would have been helpful.
  10. Outside the forum would be better. I'd rather just go back to discussing baseball though.
  11. Can you give me a quote from Jesus?
  12. I'm sure somebody will complain about this, but this is one mandate where it's really hard to see a downside.
  13. Nope!
  14. Unless he starts to hit, he's a Tiger for six years. They aren't going drop someone making that kind of money.
  15. Reyes should get 200 at bats... against lefties.
  16. I don't know. I feel like trying to watch this team every night can be tiresome, but a road trip is a road trip. I get to see a different city and a different park and the outcome is not as important to me.
  17. Tanaka was an interesting case. He wasn't as good after the injury, but he was still pretty good without getting surgery. Probabilities are never 100%. Even the probabiliy of fully recovering from surgery is far from 100%. The probability of recovering and then staying healthy and durable is even less.
  18. When a pitcher has a bad elbow or shoulder for an extended period of time, the odds are never good!
  19. Baddoo was rushed to the Majors because of Rule 5. He should have been in AA last year and AAA this year. I consider him as a prospect on the right track.
  20. The Tigers are finally learning how to get on base. The baserunning will come next. Be patient.
  21. Micro didn't sound very confident about Carpenter.
  22. Maybe, it could work for the Tigers!
