  1. Imagine he's the surgeon who's about to do your open-heart surgery, and he's describing the procedure you're about to undergo. You'd probably want to run right through the big window in your 10th floor room.
  2. It's like Joe Davis mispronounces Spanish names on purpose. 🤬
  3. There's the Miles Straw we all know and love.
  4. Seriously. When's he gonna tell us Yesavage needs to breathe through his eyelids?
  5. I might have to kill Smoltz soon. JFC.
  6. Walked 'em juiced. Team Jays in 6, yo.
  7. Crazy he started the season in A ball.
  8. Yeah man, even just having Sanchez starting in RF .... shudder. I was excited about the guy, but damn. "Raw" is a massive, extremely kind understatement about how far he is from where he needs to be to start every day.
  9. Cruz done fucked up ... and don't even think about making her take off her chancla. Let's fucking go. I'll follow her & Jasmine into battle anytime.
  10. Yeah, so, I was wondering about that lol. "What's this? A paycheck for ants?"
  11. Yep, all of that, and sometimes they hit the Bull. Such a bullshit rule.
  12. Not just flights. Even racecars can make contrails. They just don't freeze and hang in the air like the airborne ones do. I've personally shot numerous photos like these, of F1 & IndyCar wingtip vortices, but it was a easier to just google some than to go find those.
  13. Heh ... Richard Mille watches worth ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’ stolen during F1 weekend https://www.kxan.com/news/crime/richard-mille-watches-worth-hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars-stolen-during-f1-weekend/
  14. Yeah I hate that rule. I'm fine with intentionally walking someone whenever you want, but the pitcher should always have to throw the pitches.
  15. You mean automatic intentional BBs, or all intentional BBs?
  16. Hmm ... subscribed.
  17. Sweet. My baseball viewing in my 90s will be lit!
  18. The Mexican GP weekend ... begun, it has.
  19. I think, iirc, one way they can get away with it is by saying that the flyover was a training mission, as in 'We were going to log training hours in this area anyway. We just decided to log them here' (after being asked or directed to do so, of course). They can and do log all sorts of flights as training missions. Some actually are. Some are just moving a person or an aircraft from A to B, or all kinds of other stuff. That's still, as you say, a military flyover though, no matter how they dress it up. No idea if that's what they did here, of course.
  20. Yep. Right after it I wondered how many MAGAts immediately said "Sounds like some Radical Left Lunatic propaganda", and then looked at the screen and saw who it was.
  21. Glad that he pointed out that despite Trump's obvious lie, ain't no fentanyl coming from South America.
  22. Huh. I guess I'm taking crazy pills then, 'cuz I coulda swore I saw a big container of Nestle Quik for about $15 at the HEB the other day (it was open). That was just down the aisle from the 6-pack of Hershey's with almonds for $8.24. Coffee, chocolate, & a whole lot of other shit is abso-fucking-lutely through the roof.
  23. I think re: the tire situation, it's as has been alluded to earlier (that the biggest problem among many is the current data-driven nature of the sport, i.e. it doesn't really matter so much what kind of tire you throw at it, the data crunchers will analyze / simulate it to fucking death and spit out what is likely the quickest and often most boring strategy, which almost everyone will run some variation of).
