  1. Placing blame is a coping mechanism. Our brains don't like the idea of "terrible stuff happens and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it," so we rationalize it by finding fault. It's a subconscious way of adding a "we're in control" element to a situation (implied by placing blame for the lack of control). Others understand this and preemptively defend themselves against the blame they know is coming, which only makes matters worse. As always, there are degrees to it, none of which are universally applicable But calm, rational thought has gone the way of the dinosaur and wisdom/judgment left the building a long time ago.
  2. Temu Becerra whenever he makes an error or strikes out.
  3. Dime a dozen in southern LA. The quality of the women there is incongruent with everything else about that dump of a state.
  4. I almost never criticize the umpires for how they manage the game and coaches. Tipping the scales like that in the CWS championship series is pretty indefensible though.
  5. Fewer. This is Texas and we have standards.
  6. I said LSU is about to open up a 2-title lead on us - that's it - which has nothing to do with whatever point you were trying to make. Take a lap, sport.
  7. Whatever obtuse point you're trying to make is irrelevant. Augie ain't walking through that door.
  8. They're about to open up a 2-title lead on us.
  9. It's like some teams make deals with the devil. LSU is one of those teams.
  10. UNC's McDuffie choking the game away just like he did yesterday. To be fair, it started with an error by Van De Brake the negated a double play.
  11. Dead set on screwing Kavan out of a nice stat.
  12. "Fine. Whatever. Booty." - Quinn Ewers On to the top of the 7th. Win it with the team on the field.
  13. Would be fitting for Scott or Atwood to knock in the winner.
  14. "Sorry I fucked up TK's 0.00ERA"
  15. They're just rewinding to check out her ass over and over.
  16. Need to tack on a couple more runs before they bring Canady back in.
  17. "I don't know if that was the crowd banging on the bleachers or thunder, but we'd better suspend the game for safety just in case." -- Umps
  18. Kavan's pitch count now equals Canady's. Advantage neutralized.
  19. Orgeron? The guy who one a National Championship?
  20. Canady has a Stanford brain, not a Texas Tech brain.
  21. With an Oxford comma, of course.
  22. We're going to magically find success against Canady tomorrow because we've seen her already. But Texas Tech will not also magically find success against Kavan because they've seen her already. Reese is "due." But Kavan is not due (to give up ER and take a loss). Valence Effect is strong here.
  23. The NiJaree Canady's Arm question: Will Reese Atwood's bat finally show up to OKC tomorrow?
  24. We tie or take the lead here and White will go to ... Simpson.
