    Just logged in. I see Jepsen's pitching - how many outs here in the ninth?

    Then again, seeing how one talks to a (bright) 11 year old offers an additional insight to how anyone's mind works.

    Be fair. He did go on to clarify that going to games wasn't a hardship.

    I don't know why, but the article's photo cracks me up. In a good way.

    Yeah, unless one limits oneself to the picks that were only 1, 2, or maybe 3 after the actual pick, it means a ton of other teams whiffed on the same guy you are extolling with perfect 20/20 eyesight. A fun thread, at most. Boils down to every draft having a few sleepers.

    Sha Gwa. Easy peasy. Though, it helps to be a little drunk when saying it; more slurring, less pronunciating, just like any French word.
  7. ashbury
    Yes. /obligatory / / this is a game thread, right?

    If inflation was regressive, the very rich wouldn't have been fighting tooth and nail these past decades to squelch it. Inflation mainly hurts those sitting on large piles of cash and bonds; that isn't the poor. As for a flat tax, even when I was a kid I heard the saying "that first million is always the hardest, har har har". With our economy now, which is both global and highly leveraged, the principle is ever more true. Hard work alone will usually get you your first $25-75K in income, more or less; beyond that, "your" money is coming in from the work of others or because of the benefits of living in this leveraged economy, and it's not unreasonable for the tax rate to be higher to help keep going the momentum that you're benefiting from. Obama was right on with his much-mocked "you didn't build that" quote. It's merely enlightened self-interest.

    That reminds me of my Economics professor's evaluation of Elephant-Rabbit Stew. It tastes mostly like elephant.

    Then keep sippin' that Chardonnay, my friend, and enjoy what a few pounds of oak chips scattered into the barrel can do.

    Looks like an unusually large amount of pre-game chatter. I'll try to catch up quickly, and then be back with you for the game.

    Hey guys! About time for the first pitch? Any guesses on who'll be player of the game? i'm picking ESan for a strong 8 innings,and a one-two-three ninth by May for the Save.
