    You hate it so much that you bring it to our attention a second time.

    I just remembered some chores I need to do, in preference to suffering more of this. Cleaning the storage, organizing the catbox, raking the laundry, folding the lawn, and so forth. I will check in later and see if things have gotten better. / edit - ninja'd by cf

    Tepesch, like most pitchers, doesn't have enough margin for error to survive shabby defense behind him.

    As they say in the aerospace industry, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. (There might be room for some Advanced Analytics to look deeper into this saying, though.)

    Same goes for most of us, it goes without saying.

    With DNA testing, move that date back by several months. And if a couple seem devoted to fidelity, probably all future offspring can be written off at the point they decide to go steady.

    They most assuredly will. With flexibility in what is covered, and with deductibles, I'm certain that a case will be made that premiums have gone down for the average family. It won't be an apples-to-apples comparison, but it will throw enough smoke that Trump will pass counterarguments off as fake-newspeople trying to smear his accomplishments. The Democrats are falling for the old RopeADope. They'll keep punching at Trump but discover they never can knock him out, and find that people have tuned their message out making them vulnerable to whatever counter-flurry Trump comes up with for the mid-terms.

    What makes you think he can predict that date?

    I don't understand why that outfield wall is shaped the way it is, instead of just flat and fully padded all the way up and down.

    Not to pile on, but in this context the player can do what he wants and the DL has precious little to do with that player himself. The DL is for the team. It lets them stash an injured player and add a replacement without having to make a roster move they don't want to have to make. The 60-day DL (the one Glen's on) lets them add another player to the 40-man roster without having to expose any player to waivers to make room. The 10-day DL lets them add someone to their 25-man (active) roster, likewise without having to option someone or designate someone for assignment. There might be some paperwork for the team if it's a multi-year contract remaining for a player with a career-ending injury. And the player is still bound to the team until his existing contract expires, in case he decided to mount a comeback. But if the player under medical advice has decided he is done, he is done. (As has already been discussed, there's no good reason he should forego any money owed to him.)

    I don't know if the above video pertains to the system TD is on. Here's how I do it: Obtain the "youtube.com" URL - it won't work with the short "youtu.be" variant - and it has to be the kind with "/watch?v=" in it. Surround that URL with "media" before, and "/media" after. In square brackets instead of the quotes. I can't show you here, or the system will interpret it as meta-code.Here's your link done that way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDjJc_ZH6dk If you still have trouble, try replying to my post by clicking "Quote", and you should see the way I did it. If not, above the editing box click the weird little gray icon next to the pink-and-white Eraser icon, which changes the editor from WYSIWYG to native code, and maybe that will clear it up. (Don't forget to click that icon again to go back to WYSIWYG, or you might forget and then be puzzled the next time you want to reply to someone.)

    Continuing Chief's nickname project, I offer this nomination: Brandon "Winning Pitcher" Kintzler
  15. ashbury
    Yer a poet, and blissfully unaware of that fact. Ya make a rhyme, repeatedly.
  16. ashbury
    Sorry. I thought you were talking about Kintzler.
  17. ashbury
    Mauer comes through? Glory be.
  18. ashbury
    I've heard of people who pay for that, if they want a whole season of Boston sports and not just the good games against the Twins.
  19. ashbury
    Maybe that's why Kintzler pitches the ninth.
  20. ashbury
    These details are harder for me to pick up on, listening via radio feed. Sucks living in the Boston metro for series like this.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention he has a twin brother. JosB.

    Gibson's exit velocity is approximately 500 MPH, as he rides the American flight to Rochester.

    Moderator's note: I needed to remove several posts that went off on a tangent concerning moderation. That kind of side-discussion is never appropriate in the baseball threads. No "warning points" were handed out, I just cleared out the distraction (leaving this as a distraction instead, unfortunately, but people then wonder where their posts went). As a reminder, please either use the Report button if you want the moderators to take a look at a questionable post, or open a thread in the Questions About MinnCentric forum area to discuss something, or contact an owner or moderator by PM. This is covered in the site's Comment Policy, which most of you know about already.

    I don't care what religious philosophy he subscribes to.

    Seems like his name ought to be involved in an internet meme or something. Cash Me Ow-side Jaff How Bow Dah .
