  1. By chance do you work with Indians? "Do the needful" is a phrase I see a lot from my friends in Chennai.
  2. I missed mama Jung. I was playing on my phone while 'watching'.
  3. Jim Mattis is one I am eyeing.
  4. I think it’s simply pushing back and playing his game but not at his level. They are poking at his insecurities. Teasing rather than trying to humiliate. He’s used to having that all go himself.
  5. that's how I see it. If a catcher "frames" a ball into being called a strike... that's on the umpire for missing the call. Not the player.
  6. I think for many who are involved with fall sports school starts in August anyway.... with practices and all that. It leaves less time in the summer to plan vacations. And with younger kids parents are like "Ok, go back already... I love you but I'm also kind of sick of you...."
  7. One of the few times you will see Dickerson get riled up is when he starts in on the lack of a league rule that getaway days are day games. Especially a monday night one at the end of a 4 game series.
  8. I always say that development is the key, not just "scouting". Prospect lists are just names and most on that list will not pan out. Good organizations make good/great players more than they find good/great players. They are not finished products when you get your hands on them.
  9. There is a MI law but districts and schools can apply for waivers. And most do. They'd rather go back earlier and end earlier.
  10. That’s how I remember the Giants team that won 3 World Series recently.
  11. He was a talk radio host in Milwaukee. His twitter feed was your run of the mill RW nutjob stuff. He tried apologizing after this tweet but....
  12. I wonder if having him on the ballot in some and not others will be the basis for them to claim "fraud" in their inevitible appeals.... I know it doesnt make sense but since when is that a criteria for these people? Just throw confusion out there and muck things up.
  13. I literally forgot she existed. She's perfect for the NY Times... a relic from a bygone era. She can take Maureen Dowd with her. Those people are analyzing a game that no longer exists. They are the Bob Costas of political punditry.
  14. JFC. This guy is still around? I purged him long ago. It’s like flashbacks to 2019.
  15. Beyoncé won’t be there. I guess the surprise thing was bogus
  16. Beyoncé better be good because I think so far it has been kind of a dud tonight.
  17. What’s hilarious is the purity test is how they ends up with Bush. Ralph Nader in 2000 becaise Gore something or other.
  18. what's this obsession they have with semen?
  19. Liz or her dad? (the censor doesn't like his first name). Her dad would be a big deal, more so than her since she's already out there like Kinzinger is.
  20. There is so much to digest here.... I like how he tells her who he is and she's like "ok?" Then he asks them questions and when they answer he just says "Ok". So damn awkward.
