I think that's more of a biological characteristic, that has kind of morphed itself into something cultural too. I forget what the exact number of times a day is, but men think about sex a lot :lol: I was thinking about this a little more, and need to extend the thought. I think it dates further ba...

Yeah I've never been like that either, but admittedly, I lacked "game" for many of the formative years of my life. On college campuses especially, you almost wonder if the male half of a one-night stand is better off having the other interested party sign a legal waiver. With the absurd redefining ...

41441 The Kang gamble paying off Was that really a gamble? Wasn't it like $16 million, including the posting fee, over 4 years? Even if he was just an average bench player over that time, he's worth the money. I'd say it was a gamble to bring a player directly from the Korean league to Major League...

Positives going forward: Cole emerging as true ace material The Kang gamble paying off Marte emerging as a middle of the order guy Burnett good, but maybe for naught - best case is he asks to play for a contender Harrison shaking off early slump to retake the leadoff spot in the order Walker and Alv...

I think a George Wallace type would be a great candidate for 2016.

"I stand with" becomes "I vote for"? Don't trust systems well enough for that. I agree with making voters more informed... But I honestly can't say that I know how to make that happen It's pretty silly to think that there's a candidate that will match close to what you actually think in this two pa...

Didn't know people with money took you by the hand and cast your vote for you Troy. So your solution is the symbolic gesture of voting for a third party? It's great saying that now, and considering your views on things, it seems a little self serving to try and shame people out of their Clinton vot...

This is what is wrong with the USA. Just basing your vote on the letter beside the name, without looking into what that person stands for. Yeah, a two party system that functions on fear mongering and nationalism. It's not on individual voters trying to dissect the differences between a bunch of bl...

Six months ago, I was firmly of the belief that Hillary would be the next POTUS, and there wasn't a whole lot anyone could do to stop it. Now, I'm only about 60% confident of that. I saw some article the other day about Clinton foundation donors and political favors, and it made me irritated that s...

Jose Tabata should be in a Pirates uniform tonight at PNC Park because he is far and away their best option to fill the vacant position-player slot on the roster, and spare me the nonsense about there not being room on the sacred 40-man roster. Tabata, a right-handed hitter, is batting .353 with a ...

You are definitely screwing yourself in old age if you aren't properly taking care of your teeth.

Gaucho, any thoughts on the dick diver album? In the least it has the most inverse relationship between band name and quality of the music. As for the rest of 2015. I think Kendrick Lamar and waxahatchee both delivered with solid albums. Aside from dick diver, viet cong is my favorite offering from ...

I get no grunge vibe from Barnett, her stuff is like art brut. All about the accent and the story telling lyrics

Definitely took a couple of years for NH to learn how to draft effectively.

BREAKING NEWS!

George Stephanapolous USED TO WORK IN THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. ABC, more like DNC.

Their BABIP (18th overall) aligns pretty well with their LD% (15th overall).

I don't know, I'm pretty sure the offensive metrics point mostly to guys needing to be better as opposed to bad luck.

Even general manager Jed Hoyer has openly wondered if seeing more pitches is as effective as it used to be. Getting to the middle of some bullpens -- Cubs pen aside -- isn't what it used to be. More teams are moving toward the Kansas City model where they can shorten the game by having middle guys ...

For as much as people talk about the middle class versus the 1% in terms of class warfare, there's absolutely a middle-class versus the poverty-line or thereabouts battle going on. You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays no...

A few weeks ago, I went on to my torrent site and picked out a bunch of audio books. But for whatever reason, only a few would show up on my itunes match. One of the ones that would play on my phone was Fountainhead. I had my reservations, but I got into it, and was definitely entertained. Well, at ...

Sarcastic, it's got nothing to do with "trickle down" that's a whole 'nother discussion. It's about wether or not the increase in the Top %1 comes at the expense of the rest of society. It doesn't. Are you saying that when Bill Gates made $100K his first year after founding MIcrosoft, that all of h...
