Yes, it’s developed heavily from Indian and Chinese systems. 

That was way more realistic sounding than I was expecting

[Winston Smith]

Boys look like they had an extra helping of pizza between games.

[USAFChief]

Id imagine Sands is done. 4IP, 90 pitches.

[rwilfong86]

Looks like Carson Wentz is done. Maybe that's the break the Twins need,

Perhaps for the the best.

Johan's Mets no hitter was tomorrow...10 years ago

Wily coyote in to pitch for day-twah

There should be laws for this, like bourbon.

USDA regulates US Farm agriculture products. There are laws that regulate these types of things in the US, including the tolerances of fat to lean in ground beef (80/20 can be 81/19 or 79/21 for instance) but it does not regulate Wagyu claims. Wagyu is Japanese agriculture.

I spent over 6 years near Tokyo. They sold a mixture of quarter horse and the beef you're talking about.

 

Called it "Wagyu and the horse you rode in on."

 

Big seller.

This is true.  Japan could regular that though too, couldn't they?  

 

Bourbon and Scotch are lawful labels that must meet certain requirements.  Why not wagyu burgers?

[USAFChief]

Swing the bat.

Does that come with a side of Dung Flung Low?

You wanted a shutout in the first game, and now this?  You are really demanding!

Bourbon is regulated by the ATF in the US, not outside the US. Someone could (and probably does) buy a crapload of Bourbon, blend it off with ethanol and water, and label it as Bourbon again. This type of thing happens all over the world in countries that don’t protect Ip. It’s very rare to hear of ATF raids on material being imported into the US, but it happens (before clearing customs)
 

Scotch, Bourbon or Wagyu, if it’s surprisingly cheap, it’s probably not as advertised

[h2oface]

What ? No green light?

Correct. For example, I demand a grand slam from Palacios here, even with 2 runners on.

[rwilfong86]

Watching Miranda play defense anywhere is painful.

I don't doubt that any of that occurs.  It's just another form of bootlegging.

Well, you're nothing if not consistent.

Consistently nothing, if you ask Mrs Chief.

Darn Yakuza and their knock off burgers!

Who am I to argue with such brilliance?!

Let's put up a crooked number here and make it interesting.

I'd be afraid to find out who's knocking off Chief's horse/wagyu blends...

I hate the long break between games, it kills any momentum.

[Parfigliano]

Buxton is to the point where not popping out is progress

Does "0" qualify as a crooked number?

[h2oface]

These guys look totally uninspired to even be playing a game.

Talk about him being the best player in baseball has kind of slowed down.
