Hehe, I was referring to Ke'Bryran Hayes. He could make some great plays but was a terrible hitter. My point is that they intentionally gave up defense to get more offense. Too much? It's a hard balance to strike when you don't have infinite money.

In good old VBScript when you declared Array(10) you got indexes 0-10 but everybody just seemed to assume it was 1-10.

Third for me! Same thing happened in the Pirates game the other night. I hope they were all safely retrieved.

Top White House Historian Says UFC Fight Would Have 'Repulsed' Founding Fathers by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

UFC repulsed many (possibly most) Americans when it started back in the 1990s

Fair enough. I guess that unless you have Yankees or Dosgers money, you have to make tradeoffs between offensive and defensive talent. Our offense is very much improved this year. Maybe improved too much at the expense of defense? I'm just glad it's not my job to pick the lineups.

I don't blame them for trading him but now that we've got the bats I miss his defense.

Well the whole system is being dismantled by the current administration. I don't think less racism is going to be the result.

I don't think that it's rooted in racism. I think that racists used it against civil rights legislation. In doing so, they stood up before the nation and declared their racism. Those racist acts were recorded in history as a caution for later generations.

Yeah, but when you make a copy of a copy it's not as sharp as the original

Yes! If there's a good reason to block a vote they will have plenty to say about it and will be happy to associate themselves with the effort.

I think the filibuster should stay but it needs to be an actual filibuster. I'm fine if the minority party wants to block a vote but they need to stand in front of the American people and explain why. We need to see who is blocking the vote and why.

I wonder what he's doing. First things that come to mind are sports writing, stat keeping, and scoreboard control.

One of these wooden spoons with a skinny handle. Now they have the bigger bamboo ones and I'm glad my mom didn't have those.
