    I have several people across my teams that go on vacations together. I will never understand that.

    Wait a damn minute. There is no reason for delicious jalapeño poppers to be drug into this.

    I went to KU but my company doesn’t recruit there, so Tech is my adopted school for finding engineers. This is pretty much right. Lawrence is probably a better “college town”, but it’s not exactly Pepperdine geographically.

    They didn’t really tout victimhood. They sent out a press release acknowledging they were aware of their inclusion in an indictment and quoted the relevant language language from it. That doesn’t mean clean (I’m on record as nobody is clean), but Forde’s entire article is predicated on overstating KU’s actual response to the indictment.

    Let’s not get carried away, Mrs Black.

    Mini Volente is 10 and chucked 3 innings on Saturday.

    Why would you stay at a shitty hotel just because it kinda rhymes with Hamilton?

    I hate peanut butter and think Taco Bell is decent.

    I use one for slow/indirect cooks, but it's not a requirement.

    I said in the Austin steak thread, still my favorite place to eat a steak in town...even though some places make a better one.

    If you miss a call, do you immediately show up knocking on that person's door? Why are you shifting communication methods?

    I’m a sabermetric dork, but I’m not a true expert on WAR. With that disclaimer, I think the answer is it depends on the method of calculation. Fangraphs WAR: The groundball pitcher would be penalized, because it’s based on FIP...and so some non-zero number of those ground balls “should” be hits. This is obviously a contrived example but the 27 K pitcher would have a FIP of 0 as the basis for his WAR calculation, while the 27 GB guy would have 3.20. And so the strike out guy individually contributed more toward saving those runs (relied on the defense less). Baseball Reference WAR: Less obvious to me, but it’s intentionally designed to be a more descriptive stat so is based on actual runs allowed as the starting point and not FIP. So, I THINK in this case the two WARs would be equal (unless I’m missing a 2nd order defensive component in the calculation that would similarly adjust being perfect on balls in play).

    Think you know what it means to “strike out the side?” Don’t be so sure https://theathletic.com/926389/2019/04/17/think-you-know-what-it-means-to-strike-out-the-side-dont-be-so-sure/ Article from The Athletic on striking out the side. I’ve always thought 3 Ks counted, apparently some disagree that it has to be 1-2-3. What sayeth Surly?

    You didn’t tell her Kansas is in black and white? Missed opportunity.

    Yeah, that's budget is tough. A conference room and catering Rudy's or Chuy's is the answer here.

    Gotdamn she sounds hot.

    I would kill to watch that show again without knowing what happens.

    Remember 10 pages back when Tiger wasn’t intimidating anymore?

    After seeing Keopka’s 2nd, I don’t think anybody should be going for it there.

    It is, but you're not shooting under par with it. Day has an excuse for everything, plays ungodly slow, regularly WDs early Thursday taking away a spot from a guy that could use the start, and has vertigo relapses that he miraculously plays through...but they never seem to surface when he's on form. Fuck him. Biggest d-bag in golf.

    You can hire and agent and still come back under the new rules, but it sounds like Grimes is gone gone. Top 10 is high but KU should be a solid top 25 team even after Azubuike declares. I would imagine the defections will allow them to sell playing time to recruits, so I’d expect a couple adds and they have a borderline elite PG to build around that’s got a year of experience now.

    Chappelle’s bit about ordering a chicken combo from a racist makes me laugh every time.
  24. VolenteHawk
    I need the rest of the season to rain out.

    Keep your eye on the ball here. That tater tot joke was so good it needed to be triple posted. Don't answer the question...throw the guy some laugh rep.
