He's going to win easily however. So will lil' Marco.

Philadelphia won the WS in 1929, 1980, and 2008.

I can usually tell a polling outfits bias by the wording of the questions. Either the framing or use of certain buzzzwords. I wonder two things: Would a person be more likely to participate if they detect their side asking? Could a firm work around this by pretending to be the other side to elicit responses?

I was getting bored with TV so I put it on fox 2 at 10:20 to check the weather and all that. Immediately there was a political ad so I just put on The Office. Just can’t anymore. Seems like there are more this season. I’m also burned out from having that channel on all morning from 6:30 - about 10.

probably some guy with a bunch of consonants in their name that nobody heard of. 🙂

Still.... "This is the fifth time I've been dumped by a Victoria's Secret Angel"

I recently learned a few years ago that SRV played on Let’s Dance. Never knew that.

Russia can sue the Times for libel? The first sentence factually states the transfers are happening. No qualifier. Therefore I don’t see the need for “potential”. I don’t think the times needs to worry about calling it a “war crime”. It’s a generic enough term. Nobody’s going to sue them.

That’s how I feel. Got anyone better?

I say that because I assume they want to do whatever is needed to prevent any chance of insolvency. It’s not just a bad look for the league but there’s real world implications for their competition. Imagine a scenario where a team is behind on payment to vendors so they stop supplying clean towels. Or a hotel or airplane situation comes up where a team can’t get to KC in time and a game has to be forfeited. Stadium support staff walks out because payroll once again didn’t get met? MLB teams are not trying to put each othe out of business. They are all partners.

I have nothing to back this up with but I would say no because the ultimate goal is to protect the overall brand of MLB of which a team is a franchise of. They can make the appropriate business deal for themselves, regarding financing, but MLB has rules and standards that have to be met.

And I didn’t fully grasp it at the time myself. We have cousins that live nearby and they aways tell us we can stay with them. DC is great with so much free stuff. Our kids were small at the time so things were hectic. I almost want to go back by myself.

There really isn’t any porn stars today other than only fans. So I have heard.

I never knew of Arlingtons history until I went there in 2009.

People admitting they are stupid.

Men need to understand this could be their wives, daughters,sisters, even mothers in the case of 18-20 year olds.

Also “how do you like my push up bra?”

I will defend Mike I a little bit early on. He got a team that was ok in late 1992. In 1993 they had a decent year. Were in first place as late as mid June. That group fell fast but he finally hired some seasoned baseball people from baseball families. Not a bad strategy from a guy who wasn’t around the game very long. The problem wasn’t the bad years. It was the so so years like 1997 and 2000 that gave a misleading hint that maybe they were close. That’s where they get you.

those cops will be fired soon

Yes the Cardinals to me are the model franchise. But you are right that the changes that need to take place go beyond just the front office staff making draft choices and trades and signings. It's also development. I always say it's not about just picking the right players but making the players you do pick into something. That's also a skill. Good and even average players are not always born or finished products.

They say things like "well that's bad, yes, but.... what about the people who just sleep around?" It's easy to come up with a solution when you don't have to pay any consequences.

The extremists will blame her for going through fertility treatments and tell her she should have adopted.

I really didn't care who won that series because I hate both teams for different reasons. But part of me is glad the Yankees won to quell more whining about top seeds not advancing in the new format because some people think it's unfair if there are upsets in the playoffs.

the other schadenfreude with the Phils is Joe Girardi.
