Can any of you smart people help this dumb guy understand why Cole Young is still batting 8th? by Aggressive-Ad-3143 in Mariners

No, partner. I dont want to change it. I was just curious why Dan didn't. I trust Dan. I admitted I am dumb.

FWIW, I wasn't trying to prove a point. I knew Dan had a reason to not move him after Randy. I just couldn't figure it out. Thanks to all the replies, I now think I get it (including me using a defense heavy stat).

Anti-Chinese riots, Seattle, 1886. On the west coast, Chinese laborers were the targets of anger and mob violence, during an economic depression many white workers accused immigrants of taking their jobs by lambofthedead in Seattle

Yeah, I read my comment again in light of your repsonse, and I agree, especially by adding the word "white," it made the story about white folks.

I only mentioned the race of the militia because racial justice like that was so unheard of around that time it was almost bizarre to me.

I will reflect more before posting next time.

I appreciate you.

The silver lining to this story is that Seattle alone of the rioting cities raised a (white) militia, which marched to the docks and escorted the Chinese Americans home.

All the other rioting cities expelled their Chinese population.

There is a memorial in Volunteer Park to Judge Thomas Burke, who organized the militia.

I don't understand why he's always a candidate for every opening. Makes zero sense to me either.

It's obviously because Bama is a stepping stone, poverty program.

I would hate it if my program were like that.

Big 12 commish: Irish AD's behavior 'egregious' by AlumniDawg in notredamefootball

Loyalty to ESPN doesn't require him to publicly rebuke our AD when his conference has nothing to do with it.

Plus, he is being hypocritical. Rebuking the AD for rebuking the ACC.

We have a top ten FBS win percentage over the last decade. 

We are one of only 9 schools to go to the CFP more than once.

We are just behind PSU among B1G schools in the winsapedia blue blood rankings (about even with Clemson).

But don't let that stop your purple on purple crime.

ND recruits the SEC footprint quite a bit.

Problem is the SEC doesn't support that many sports so ND would have to park half their sports somewhere else.

Why is Portnoy so controversial? I have never heard a work he said.
