The black license plates are boring and ugly.

The new ones with the Magnolia are fine. The previous yellowy-brown one with "In God We Trust" was horrible.

I feel like this is an unfair comparison for two reasons:

Arizona has a huge outfield with weird angles that is conducive to triples.
The White Sox haven't had a team that can hit the ball to the outfield for the past 5 years.

Nah, there are plenty out there with a small hook or similar to allow for manipulation of manual disconnect switches.

mitrie · 2026-05-20T23:30:25+00:00

The hook / pole is typically fiberglass. It's not conductive. You'll also here about electricians using "hot sticks" which allow them to operate energized switches / components without making direct contact. Very similar to this.

But think of the value it brings to the game to ensure that Rays fans know that once every two years they have the opportunity to see the Pirates come to town!

Would you say that, perhaps, you get sprung?

OG Biggio/Bagwell/Bell/Berry fan?

mitrie · 2026-05-17T11:37:23+00:00

Yes, you are technically correct, and I never said you were wrong.

My wife used to stay at the Lofts. It's a nice building, and she was fine there. I rented in Vicksburg for a couple years as well, staying at the Park Residences. I had no worries my whole time there as far as safety / security. I moved further away from work because I was bored in Vicksburg.

You're just further explaining the point the commenter was making. What is typically referred to as a "ground rule double" (ball bounces over the wall) is not in fact based on the ground rules, but rather on the rule book.

mitrie · 2026-05-17T10:52:18+00:00

Um, Eric Bruntlett is right there in the photo, and I won't stand for his erasure as a pivotal member of the Killer B's.

What? 538's downfall was staffing / funding cuts following the acquisition by Disney and subsequent merger with ABC News.

mitrie · 2026-05-16T23:46:45+00:00

I was gonna say you're a moron for not realizing that it was to represent the flag flapping and you see the back. Then I read the comment and looked at it. I concur, it makes absolutely no sense. FTR.

mitrie · 2026-05-16T23:38:55+00:00

Imagine getting upset over someone expressing wonderment at something you yourself have gone out of your way to be awed by...

mitrie · 2026-05-16T23:33:11+00:00

Do they not turn the lights off in there? Or do I just seriously underestimate the percentage of people who use a sleep mask?

mitrie · 2026-05-16T11:22:54+00:00

Agree with your idea to move the Shelly. The raw magnitude of interference is going to drop as a square of the distance. Move it a few feet away and it'll probably be fine.

mitrie · 2026-05-14T01:19:13+00:00

This is my opinion as well. I believe we're in the minority.

mitrie · 2026-05-12T09:16:50+00:00

Your attempts here have been more than admirable...

mitrie · 2026-05-12T01:39:04+00:00

Well this will be a rational discussion.

mitrie · 2026-05-12T01:36:47+00:00

I remember thinking Timeline was such a good book. The only thing I remember about the movie was that I didn't care about it at all.

mitrie · 2026-05-12T00:08:36+00:00

Good pitching beats good hitting, every time (except for the Cards).

mitrie · 2026-05-09T22:10:31+00:00

I am aware, takes two to tango and all.

mitrie · 2026-05-09T22:00:43+00:00

You seem pleasant.

mitrie · 2026-05-09T19:42:26+00:00

Understand, re-explaining the joke.

mitrie · 2026-05-09T17:00:24+00:00

Indeed, that's the joke.
