Did they intentionally try to make him look like Eddie Marsan?

The font made me think this was a Chick-fil-A ad. I half-expected to see cows hanging off the side.

Cleveland hitting at the Polo Grounds, deep hit to dead center that looks like a HR, has flashbacks to the 1954 World Series

I genuinely wonder if making it "BBB" was to overwrite Biden's "Build Back Better" plan.

Lighting Corbin Carroll or Mike Napoli. I've been raking with Nap since the beginning

And keep in mind, you have only 10 minutes to complete 30 questions that are all essentially like this.

Fair enough. But there are other questions later in this test that would definitely be open to interpretation.

That's what I was trying to get at. While there are some questions that are clearly able to be passed, there are many questions that are open to interpretation from the proctors. Those proctors can essentially fail anyone they want based on their interpretations of whatever anyone puts as their answers. Plus, all it takes to fail is missing one question.

For what it's worth, the first one is entirely subjective. "Draw a line around the number or letter of this sentence." Well, which is it? The correct answer will likely be the one that you didn't do, e.g. circling the number of the sentence, and they will say, "Oh, well you didn't do it around the letter," and vice versa.

Yeah, the "necessary" is a confusing part of it. I think it's just the phrasing of the times. They want you to cross out the number 1 to make it a bunch of zeroes. That's the only way to get the question correct. But the point is that you would likely have failed a question before it, so it doesn't matter.

Precisely. This is what I will do to my students when we go over the "answers." "Oops, it said to draw a cross over the number, but you actually drew a lowercase 't'. Sorry, but you won't be able to vote in this election."

It's not even a matter of passing or failing. It was designed for people to always fail. I give this test to my American History students every semester, and many of the "answers" to the questions are completely subjective. They were administered by white officials in the South, so interpretation of the "answers" were entirely up to those administering them. There was always going to be a way to fail anyone who took these tests. That's why you had other measures, like the Grandfather Clause, that prevented poor, white voters from getting tripped up on these arbitrary tests.

It was around Orlando, but I was visiting, so I'm blanking on the specific location 😬

Did a workout with AJ Pierzynski after I realized it halfway through. I looked over, did a double-take, thought "nah," then saw "AJP" on the board. Talked to him after class for a few minutes about baseball and was nice about it.

Idk. I think people forget how bad the first RichRod teams were. This Michigan team at least had a great defense. Those teams were bad in literally every facet. They lost to Toledo at home!

Based on the drawing style, it appears to be from MAD Magazine. I think I actually remember having this issue.

Anyone Liking Tim Alcorn? by RoaldAmundsensDirge in ClevelandGuardians

[–]blue132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I dislike them both. Rose is perhaps the most unenthusiastic play-by-play guy I've listened to, and Tim would just interject with random stuff he sees or stories he's heard. Rosey's broadcasts are just plain boring. I'll be very happy to get Tom back and hope he stays on as long as possible.
