  1. Is this a thing in the scouting world? Hahahahahaha. Jersey toughness is most often associated with heavy doses of performing enhancing drugs.
  2. This makes no sense. A McRib sandwich is just a McRib. A sub sandwich is just a sub. An Italian beef sandwich is just an Italian Beef. But a Patty Melt. No, that's a Patty Melt Sandwich. Deeply flawed sandwich; it ultimately gets to be a sandwich because it is on evenly sliced bread, but that key component is also its flaw as the bread cannot structurally support the whole thing. WTF "evenly sliced"? nonsense
  3. You ever tried to deny a 60-pound autistic kid his videos? I don't care if everything else in life falls apart, the internet is always there. derwood can watch whatever he wants
  4. What about a grilled cheese place? They exist, therefore a grilled cheese is not a sandwich. also, most burger joints I know also offer other sandwiches and the only "hot dog" place I would go to would have Italian beefs as well.
  5. I will not stand for this anti-Bryant talk.
  6. I don't believe in the too many games argument, but a game being too long is very real. 15 minutes can be a world of difference when it comes to things affected by the end of a ballgame; bedtime and whether my wife is still awake, public transit schedules, whether or not it is necessary to leave the game with the kid. And 15 minutes doesn't even begin to address the god awful 4-hr marathons brought on by NYY/BOS games. A game should be under 3 hours, not well beyond that number. No pitch IBB won't change that, but that is why you have to do several things to make a difference. Pretending the length of games don't matter isn't going to change the fact that the length of games do matter, even if they do not matter to you personally.
  7. okay, now it makes more sense.
  8. I don't operate in the world of "seems".
  9. That's Javy. Bryant knows who all the people are and addresses them with a smile, a firm handshake and their full name.
  10. No bones allowed mcrib Is a McRib. you are right, my apologies
  11. Replace a ham and cheese with turkey and you have the same issue. Explain. You're still dealing with a sandwich either way; you've just shifted the filler. Replace a hot dog with something else in a hot dog bun and it's no longer a hot dog. The only distinction there is the unnecessary choice to refer to a hot dog specifically as a hot dog. If you ask for a hot dog and I say here's your sandwich it's still a hot dog, just like if you ask for a ham and cheese and I say here's your sandwich, it's still a ham and cheese. Have we gotten into the issue of whether you run out of bread but have hot dog buns? I've made peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, and all sorts of other things on a hot dog bun due to the hot dog vs hot dog bun packaging differential. Doesn't change what I'm eating.

  13. looks like they are chipping away at the base.
  14. it doesn't say that I completely missed the "pitch" in that tweet and read it as "no intentional walks." My bad, but I like the rule. The intentional walk is stupid, just let the guy have 1B if you want to walk him. I feel the opposite. Make them throw the pitches. They still can throw a wild pitch (or the hitter can swing at the occasional pitch too close to the strike zone). If the data shows that nothing interesting happens 99% of the time, I would rather they just let the guy take the base. One thing this would eliminate is the stupidity of a move I've always hated, bringing in a reliever from the bullpen and having him intentionally walk the first guy he sees, especially a guy with control issues. The Cubs did this a few times years ago and I got all hot and bothered by it.
  15. I assume they detached the feet from the bottom.
  16. When the Cubs were run by people that thought this was the right way to play, this worried me. Now it just means it is possible idiots will feel vindicated and keep on idioting.
  17. Replace a ham and cheese with turkey and you have the same issue.
  18. http://deadspin.com/tbs-baseball-crew-re-creates-boom-goes-the-dynamite-h-1640844959 Come for the dynamite parody, stay for Pedro's creepy look at the end.
  19. No, it is not. Nor is it the main ingredient. It is a means to an end except in the very rare instances when you actually have amazing bread.
  20. The WR who has been up and down from the practice squad all year.
  21. Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs · 3m3 minutes ago Chris Williams will finally get shot in return game. #Bears promote him from practice squad and place Rashad Ross on waivers.
  22. my feed won't stay for more than a minute or two. anything more specific on this?
  23. Maybe I'm underestimating what Shields'll get. Related note - I wonder how the Yankees are going to handle this offseason. With understated grace, no doubt.
  24. That suit really brings out the change in Theo's hair color.
