  1. There’s no room in the rotation for Peralta, anyway.
  2. Don’t quote me on this, but I think I have read news stories in just the past few years indicating that a lot of Catholics are going retrograde on the whole creationism thing. And the interest thing about that is that if they’re my age and went to Catholic schools themselves, they probably did not learn creationism in class, at least in science class.
  3. Tucker's putting in the work.
  4. Having video available of this incident, which is incredible in its own right, makes me wonder how many lynching murders happened throughout American history, and that we can't know about because no record exists like this exists. It boggles.
  5. Maybe we're different generations, but I don't remember ever being taught that Earth is literally only 6,000 years old, and I do remember in high school religion class a discussion about how it was all a story. I definitely remember learning basic geology in our fourth grade science class at St Anne that this or that rock we had in the classroom were this many or that many million years old.
  6. No free agents came off the board last night, which makes sense, because that might suggest that teams and players/agents have been in touch during the lockout, which is a (legal?) no-no and would’ve been hard to explain away. We should start seeing movement probably today, right?
  7. My favorite part is the Jesus rode dinosaurs story.
  8. Very sad outcome.
  9. Ooh, could the hammer come down on Deutsche? Isn’t Trump in Dutch to Deutsche as well?
  10. Checkmating the Russians out of doing false flags by calling them out beforehand has been one of the savviest moves undertaken by Biden and the Europeans.
  11. There might be something to this. All eight of the subcommittee guys are established veterans who have made eight or nine figures throughout their career, so some of the key gains Players make in this deal don’t affect them. The rank and file, though, a lot of those guys are 0-3 who fee they can’t afford to give up the paychecks so much. They’re eager to clear as many of those $58.333.33 bimonthly checks as they can. The subcommittee guys don’t have to worry about that, so they can stand on their principles, whatever those may be.
  12. Wasn’t MLB using tiebreaker rules for seeding or home field advantage under certain circumstances? Sounds familiar. I think with the new 2-of-3s taking the place of the one-and-dones, they didn’t want to get in a situation where there would be three- or four-way ties and they’d have to have a series of round robin games that might delay the rest of the postseason. There was a possibility of that kind of situation last season, In any event, it sucks. I’ve been to a couple 163s, there’s nothing like everything is on the line with this game. Win and get into the playoffs; lose and go home. It’s the main reason I came around to liking the one-and-done wild card game.
  13. lol "mansions" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8025835/Take-peak-best-known-millionaire-socialist-Bernie-Sanders-three-homes.html Daily Mail is up in arms about it tho Seriously I had no idea about the state of his wealth either way. But sure, let's talk about Bernie. That should take our minds off MLB's antitrust exemption.
  14. Boooo to no more Game 163.
  15. Bernie Sanders is an oligarch?
  16. I see. There should not be orgy rooms for children at evangelical churches. Florida needs to pass a law against orgy rooms for children at evangelical churches. You couldn't possibly be against that, could you? Do you think evangelical churches should have orgy rooms for children?
  17. Hey, now this could be interesting.
  18. As expected. https://twitter.com/jjcoop36/status/1502039231086178308?s=20&t=dcHk23_CQApgRwribgjKbw
  19. I don't disagree with the basic idea of using performance metrics to determine bonuses or ever service time, necessarily, although WAR is not well-defined enough to use, I don't think. There are at least three different versions of it, including one that's not even called "WAR", and both B-Ref and FG are on record opposing its use.
  20. The revenue sharing suit is the bigger issue and directly addresses the issue of tanking.
