  1. "Sorrow is more piquant, zesty."
  2. "So on my new phone, this is how you roll left... oh I'm sorry, I meant scroll left."
  3. This is 100% correct. "Stop and Frisk" is a dog whistle of whose guns he's OK with confiscating. And his base is OK with confiscating those guns, too. This won't move the needle.
  4. He also heard that Trump supports a tax credit for vehicle leases.
  5. You don't need to be concerned with a Harlan Crowe - that's just Dewey. It's the Florida Crowes you need to worry about.
  6. Tiebreaker secured. Hope we can use it.
  7. Don’t blow the SO, Turd.
  8. Dubin pulled a sword on Henderson too.
  9. Great pitch to finish Henderson. Blue really wanted to start the chainsaw there.
  10. Chas has gotta be in his feels fight now. We’ll always have that Game 5 catch and the G2 ALCS HR against Yankees.
  11. Jake bringing the chaos!
  12. The kid has figured it out. Hope he can keep it going. Our rotation looks pretty damn salty these days.
  13. When I was stationed in GTMO, one of the linguists working for us was named Jasmine El Gamel. She was a smokeshow. That RBI reminded me of her. And fun fact, Gamel is one of the Arabic words for camel.
  14. Thank you for the correction. I was wondering if AJ’s nuts finally dropped. So now I know that Wainwright is painfully stupid, too.
  15. I don’t understand Bregs to 1B when we are already juggling Diaz and Caratini. It’s absolutely not ideal, but he needs to DH and Yordan needs to be in LF. Bregs to 1B really doesn’t by you much and it seems like a lot of risk since he’s never played there.
  16. Pierzynski is so, so dumb.
  17. Good luck. I thought that after 4-1/2 years without getting it that I might just be naturally immune. I was wrong.
  18. 100% not defending that individual. Just taking issue with a particular rhetorical tactic.
  19. Last year was an absolute beating.
  20. This is a pretty lazy rhetorical trick. Some Christians can simultaneously hold the position that it is good to take care of those in need along with the position that our Government is ill-suited to the task and is at best inefficient with the resources it receives. Some Christians can simultaneously hold the position that everyone should bear a level of personal responsibility to care for their neighbors and community along with the position that this personal responsibility should not be diffused to the government nor mandated under the force of government penalty. Some Christians can simultaneously hold the position that we all have a personal responsibility to care for or neighbor along with the position that the best way to exercise that personal responsibility is to vote for government policies that might be able to have a greater impact at scale than they could personally have on an individual level. These are not unreasonable positions to hold in tension with one another. I appreciate people like Talarico who challenge traditional conservative political positions with the teachings of Christ. However, I think it goes too far into partisan politics and cheap rhetoric when anyone says that "You can't be a Christian and vote for/against issue X". I feel the same for those who use this exact rhetoric for pro-life positions. It's just so disheartening that our political discourse in this country has been reduced to gotcha sound bites and memes to "own" the other side.
