Trump himself most if not all of that resistance.

I don’t know, I don’t think Harris would want to start the clock ticking on a 21-year-old just to keep us from losing 100 games this year.

Whom should we go after, and whom should we offer in trade for them?

I guess you get what you pay for, right? I feel the same way with AT&T. Super reliable, blazing fast, pricy as ****. I wanted a Cadillac, I’m paying for a Cadillac. The main thing I hate is, because I also subscribe to DirecTV, they have consolidated login credentials for each into a single U/P, so no matter whether I try to log into DirecTV or Uverse to get an account overview, it takes me to DirecTV without giving me the choice. I think it’s because they are one of those companies that are trying to migrate users away from PCs—or more specifically, away from web browsers—and onto mobile apps to manage everything, probably because mobile OS is harder to hack or to work around the process they want to track you into.

So the one thing we thought TORK! could actually do, pick it with his glove, I guess we can’t even rely on that anymore. He doesn’t do that, he’s a dead loss at first.

Oh my god I saw Miggy hit a 400-foot single live!

Oh my god I saw TORK! steal a base live!

Lol I just came across this article in the Sporting News from 1955. Everything new is old again.

O'Lantern was pitching in the Aussie league at age 16 with guys on average ten years older. This could be interesting.

Well, he is 29 and so has no future to offset his lack of present.

This is not a bad idea, if the goal is to protect the pitcher's historical advantage over the hitter to some degree. Absent that, one way for a pitcher to get through a situation like this is to simply not put everything he has into his 13th, 14th, etc., pitch to try to induce swing and miss—in other words, give in to the situation and ease up to reduce stress on his arm. Maybe that's not fair—or maybe it is, who knows?—but in this new world of ours, them's the breaks.

"YOU GET A JOB! AND YOU GET A JOB! AND YOU GET A JOB!"

I think the idea that MTG would be a power beard for a closeted right-wing thought leader is one of the less surprising things I could learn about her.

The thing I worried most about the pitch timer was that teams would find a way to undermine it to make games go longer, and umpires would start peeling off from enforcing violations, and that games would start creeping back up toward three hours-plus by now. But two months in, it looks like pitchers are still rushing, and umpires are still vigilant. Pitchers could still figure out how to effectively max out their times in between pitches, which would not only give them a bit more rest between pitches but would also make the games close to three hours on average, but I haven’t seen where they’ve started doing that yet. There are differences between teams in time of game, ranging from 2:34 for the Guards up to 2:46 for the Orioles. I wonder how much of that is related to taking more time in between pitches, batters, innings, etc., versus non-time-oriented game play. You can tease that info out of downloaded Statcast data. Maybe I’ll get around to that at some point.

I do like that ATT provides uploads to go as fast as downloads.

We don't know what was in the guy's head, but there is also a certain kind of person who gets a thrill out of getting rough and hurting or humiliating people.

Produce the receipts.

Lived experience.

Churches already pay no taxes. Now we're giving them taxpayer-funded subsides? ****ing A, I gotta start my own church and get in on the grift.

You know why. 😏

My wife and I are going to Curacao in January and expect the experience to be similar to yours.

SNO has been doing that for years. Don't Bally and the Tigers do that now? I could swear I've seen ten-second spots for one of the casinos in between pitches.

Sociopathy is pretty much indicative of just about anybody who rises to the tippy-top, isn't it? I can hardly imagine a circumstance in which someone rises to the top tier of a major function—government, business, whatever—without breaking laws, flouting ethics, disregarding integrity, and/or callously ruining some people's lives along the way.

Between this and the report that he may have over-exercised his way to the injury, this strikes me as a possible bad sign. He may be too eager to push it too early, either because he thinks he feels good or else he wants to test out how he's doing, which would risk re-aggravating it or otherwise lengthening his recovery time. He might be too antsy to just keep off his feet and just rest to start with. (I can relate.) If he's truly like that, I hope he can overcome his instincts and take it as easy as the staff tells him to in order to minimize time off.
