    He's on control freak first.

    Knock knock. Who's there? Control freak. Now, you say, "control freak, who?"

    Might be the first time I clicked Like and considered a Warning Point on the same post.

    If CB Bucknor were a moderator here, you'd be in a heap o' trouble, for disrespectful posting to... yourself.

    I started to split this off as a thread of its own, but maybe you aren't quite that serious about an assisted suicide tangent. I'll ask, though, whether you have been intimately involved with end-of-life situations? Because it's exactly at those times that the person in question is least able to make the necessary clear judgement, while turning over the decision to relatives or others opens up various cans of worms. At this point, I think Hospice care is the farthest we can go without using that can opener. Hospice currently is for diagnosed terminal conditions, while you are talking about incurable pain, which overlaps greatly but isn't identical. There's the old saying that suicide is too often a permanent solution to a temporary problem, so you'd better be super sure that the suffering is itself permanent. That darn Hippocratic Oath intersects both Death Penalty and Assisted Suicide discussions. (And will you look at that - I've circled back to the thread topic. )

    Chief, you can go ahead with those retirement plans at the Assisted Living complex. Your services here are no longer needed; Mike's got things covered now.

    Hoo boy, "an incident at Messingers Funeral Home" Except for the sadness surrounding the incident, I'd post without reservation that this brings "hold my beer" moments to possibly a new low. So instead I'm posting with reservation.

    I can't find video of it this morning, to demonstrate, but the ball bounced before hitting the batter on the foot, and that foot was not fully in the batter's box - the arch of the foot was approximately on the line toward the plate. Isn't the batter required to stay in the box, for it to be a HBP? It wasn't the most consequential play of the game, but was an example of the luck Gonsalves seemed to run into that game, and we couldn't get a definite resolution of the rule during the Game Thread.

    I had to suffer the wisecracks from KC fans in the ballpark when Cave made the diving stab that turned into an inside-the-park HR, so he is dead to me.

    We don't seem to have as much difficulty with this, when it's life without parole instead of execution. Other than the inability to correct an execution if exculpatory evidence comes along 40 years later, they are more or less equivalent - the convicted person's normal life with society is over. The bar is set high for life in prison, but not so high that we have these discussions where it's argued that lines can't even be drawn.

    Last time I was in Arizona, Chief paid my way into a comedy club. But he soon realized -- I was just laughing at his expense!

    How'bout Cave?
  13. ashbury
    Link?

    ... and would unaccountably have ruptured a spleen or dislocated an eye in the process.

    The Twins have unarguably the best coaching staff in the majors. They, and they alone, have unlocked the potential of the unstoppable juggernaut that is Oliver Drake!

    In case it matters, all replay is handled by a room full of druids in NYC.

    Them guys is a dime a dozen. The new Market Inefficiency is 88-MPH pitchers with 71-MPH lollipop curves.

    I'm sure Yankees Daily is raking their FO over the coals even as we speak.

    Jake Cave: "Swing hard, just in case you make contact."

    Hey, it's a winnable ballgame. Gonsalves got us deep enough into the game to turn it over to the bullpen.

    ISWYDT.

    Why is it we make Lucas Giolito look like Cy Young every time?
  24. ashbury
    We are all Chief by now.

    I just invented a new word. Plagiarism!
