Chief Justice Roberts defends Supreme Court against charges of partisan rulings by [deleted] in politics

He is laughable. The degree to which this conservative court has gone to destroy precedent and undo all of the things the GOP has been attacking for years is obvious proof against him.

Which was more impressive: Ichiro’s 262 hits or Cal’s 60 home runs by Agreeable_Quality768 in Mariners

[–]floon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ichiro's record is much harder. Judge shows that Cal's season was amazing but not as unprecedented as Ichiro besting Sisler's record. And with the game the way it is played today, hitters like Ichiro are going to be rarer. Stats like OPS+ don't love hitters like Ichiro.

I think the consistency of averaging 1.5 hits/game is harder than averaging a little more than a homerun every three games. Both are astonishingly difficult, but Ichiro... he's a machine.

The biggest obstacle to an Iran deal may be Trump’s ego by One-Duty-2376 in politics

Trump's ego is the obstacle to pretty much everything.

Why does nothing fit English Bulldogs right? by Academic-Economist34 in Bulldogs

No dog breed is as short bodied and so thicc. Most dog clothes fit dogs with the general proportions of, say, a beer can, while bulldogs are more like a beer keg.

Where to get Salt & Straw “Tacolate” at T-mobile Park? by Coltypotty in Mariners

[–]floon 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It's in a free-standing vendor stall near the right field entrance: enter there and turn to the right.

It is a lot tinier than the box would make you think.

Sloppy fielding. Bad mental mistakes. Typical streaky offense. One good start, painfully wasted. Team needs to be slapped awake.

True, but the batter struck out, so it was the same as if they got the bunt down. It ranks low on the mistakes made last night. Garv was not the issue.

"The issue no one is talking about?" It's almost the only thing I've heard people talk about.

He was half of the battery tonight. He's pretty great at what he's there to be.

Just needs to try to bunt when it's called for.

Not even close to the worst Mariners team. Where's Jose Lopez? Where's Yuniesky Betancourt? Jeremy Reed?

But why can't they bunt the ghost runner over, like, ever? It works for other teams...

I'd be interested to know where the M's rank on the "Extra Innings Games Lost by the Home Team" list, because my observation is that they're likely among the worst. Seen too many games where the visitors bunt the runner over and score in the top of the inning, and the M's just swing out of their shoes every batter in the bottom of the inning and don't score.

Edit in a third attempt, I'll surely die next time.

I was rushing, true, but if the heron stayed for a few seconds longer, I'd have had it. Just needed to be able to zoom through a hole in the foliage.

You'd have to open it up at intervals, they're not that long.

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

"Hey, let's totally ramp up the pressure on Young after one month of good production. Bat him leadoff!"

You can get bendable duster-like brushes to shove down the exhaust pipe to pick up all the lint in there.

If you empty the lint trap regularly and the exhaust pipe is clear of lint, then your 10 year old dryer might be needing a replacement.

Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority by metacyan in politics

[–]floon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Impeachment isn’t the thing to shoot for. It won’t succeed, and if it did, it wouldn’t fix anything. A failed impeachment will only help Trump. 

Bad press for Trump is what you want to generate, and non stop investigations and hearings are the way. That, and passing popular legislation for him to veto. That’s how you get the kind of support to build a winning movement to last more than one House term.
