Please don’t breathe that into life, that is one of the only mistakes Valdez hasn’t made in the field this year.

I watched the postgame solely to see if Cora would say “Horny and Booze were awesome tonight.”

DALE A TU CUERPO ALEGRIA MASATAKA

EYYYYYYYY MASATAKA

10 years ago, very hard no. Now, still probably a no, although that area has gotten a little better (I’d still rather not be on North Cap.)

What is your budget and what other options are you looking at? NoMA on the other side of the metro stop, closer to Union Market, might be a better choice. Something like AdMo would be safer.

I think that Roberts’ point, he’s skipping to rest the elbow and he shouldn’t be made to feel bad about it because he’s a “face of the league.”

Hard to beat Mike being a bundle of nerves admitting that he likes El and asking her out, while El is concerned with figuring out what pudding is.

That was one of those things where Donaldson was just the wrong messenger because he already had a questionable reputation around the league.

If Judge or Pujols or Mookie had called out Anderson for the Jackie comparison, it would have ended horribly for Anderson.

Slugging is free for the passengers

Edit: to respond to your edit, the reasons beyond money to prefer it are that it's faster, quieter (silence is one of the main rules of slugging), and in many ways more comfortable. Riding shotgun or even being in the backseat of a private car can be a lot more appealing than cramming onto public transit.

The next 18 games are the most important of the season to cement us as buyers. 9 of them are against the three worst non-White Sox teams in the league. We need to beat up the Marlins, A's, and Rockies, because the other 9 games are against the Yankees, Dodgers, and the Royals--who are the team right in front of us in the WC race.

12-6 over this 18 game stretch would be delightful. Anything less than double-digit wins and there might be temptation to sell, with the schedule getting tougher afterwards.

No, the photodouble just needs to have the same frame and general coloring (skin, hair) as the real actor so that the crew can set lighting up appropriately. A child of any age or a petite adult could double for Holly.

I have no idea why you are getting downvoted because people have no idea what a photo double is.

We might have to wait for Casas to retire and go to the booth someday to match Eck for entertainment value.

They've helped thousands, they'll help Bobby tooooooo

The entire NL is mediocre outside of the top 4 teams, and the Rockies/Marlins. Diamondbacks might be one of the better bets among that big middle of the pack to make a run, assuming their pitchers do get healthy.

Didn't think the 83-win Cardinals vs. wild card Tigers from 2006 would be beaten, but those Tigers actually won 95 games and just ran into the best Twins team of that era in the division.

Why do all of our worst mistakes end up in Southern California?

Steve is the answer here by far, even though he gets beaten up a ton. He's rich, handsome, popular, and charismatic. Who doesn't want to be King of Hawkins High?

Of the kids, Mike and Lucas have had much more comfortable lives than the other 4. But Lucas gets to deal with being a Black kid in rural America in the 80s (and although Hawkins does seem pretty well-integrated, we all saw what Billy was like). And Mike's had a lot of internal anguish, has parents who are mostly checked out from raising him, and...dating Eleven isn't exactly a piece of cake, Mike's otherworldly patience is necessary for that relationship to work.

It is much better if you watch it after 5 and before 6. Most of the hatred of 7 comes from it breaking up the tension between 6 and 8 with an unrelated story. Watching 7 before 6 helps foreshadow some stuff in 6, and lets you watch 6-8-9 in order.

I completely understand why street parking is an issue, and I don't think you hate anyone.

You are the one who said cooperation with people who rely on street parking is not going to work, full stop.

Do you see what you did there? You've written off your neighbors and fellow voters who rely on street parking, dismissed them as the adversary, and ruled out any possibility of trying to find a solution that works for both of your needs.

This is the mistake that gets made far, far too often.

see Connecticut Ave bike lanes - I'm in NE and have no dog in that fight but that's clearly part of what happened

Yup. There were a lot of factors at play with the Connecticut bike lanes proposal not passing, but part of it was activists not realizing that they needed to win the support of people who did not own bikes and under no circumstances would be biking on Connecticut. Many of them went about trying to win that support in the most counterproductive way.

Put another way—suppose a bike lane project is put to a ward or ANC vote in which every voter participates. If the project passes, a strong majority of those who vote yes would have to be non-bikers disinterested in biking, because there are not nearly enough bikers to form a majority on their own.

Because a different demographic uses it vs. Reddit, and the people there are probably just as baffled by how Reddit thinks about things.

Manny Ramirez (a terrible OF) regularly racked up 10+ assists per season for the same reason. Bonds was a good OF but Griffey was a true plus defensive player in CF.
