Yeah, his career WAR in 11 seasons was a combined total of 3.8, and last year at age 31 he all of a sudden busts out a 3.6 WAR with career highs in homers and RBI's. Something was up.

I think it’s a woman thing to ignore this type of thing. My wife is Gen X. And like most Gen X, girls she had the hots for George Michael when he first got popular in the mid-80s, as part of the duo “Wham”. I’ve made fun of her for years for seeing the video for “”Wake Me Up before you Go-Go” and not immediately seeing he was a flaming pole smoker..

Same here. I remember exactly where when I first saw that video. I was in the 7th grade at my grandparents house in September of 1984. My first thoughts was "what a queer". My second thought was"he sings pretty good though". He tried to change his image in 1987, for Faith, and he might've fooled some of the teenage girls, but not the teenage boys. He could lay naked in bed with the Asian chick he claimed was his girlfriend and sing "I Want Your Sex" all he wanted, but we all knew he liked the pole. I mean if you didn't catch his gayness in the Wake Me Up video surely you did in the Monkey video when he was running across the stage. All that said I liked George Michael's music, and he is an 80's icon.

Call the damn strike zone as it is written, or get replaced by someone (or something) that will.

^This. I hate when I hear umpires say "my strike zone is so md so". It's not "your strike zone" its the strike zone.

ETA: I also hate the old "he's a rookie so he's not going to get that call or as wide of a strike zone". What kind of shite is this?

College sports sucks really bad now. I'm about to spit the bit.

Your beisbol program is actually dead while the Rebs are ranked and have won a championship more recently than you.

I had this one from the 1990 Final Four in Denver. I kept it in pristine condition for about 15 years. I came home from work one day and my young toddler was playing with it. My ex-wife said he asked if he could play with it so she gave it to him. I couldn’t be mad.

My mother has Parkinson's, so my brother just moved back home from Texas to here in Mississippi to live with her. They were cleaning out my old room a few weeks ango and found this ball which my mom is now using for her Parkinson's physical therapy.

I was cleaning out a closet last Saturday and found this bad boy.

I like my local meteorologist. Other day there was a tornado warning and he said "Nah, I am not seeing a tornado here. Not sure what NWS is looking at."

---

That's a gripe of mine. Sure, I get being cautious, but the NWS just throws out tornado warnings for every bad thunderstorm these days. It's always "a thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado is located near blah, blah, blah". Most thunderstorms are capable of producing a tornado. Then they put out a huge polygon for the warning when the storm is moving nowhere near an area. It scares my in-laws to death, they go to the storm shelter, and then get pissed when me and my wife won't come because I say I've got the radar and it's nowhere near here. They used to not do this until the last few years or so. It used to be of it were a NWS tornado warning a damn tornado is on the ground and heading your way, not it could possibly be a tornado, and we are putting you in the warning because there is a 1% chance it could possibly come your way. You know, cry wolf and all.
