Blood Sugar is high today. So I am picturing all the donuts in the break room have spit on them -- nm - amoxy Oct 24, 08:31 8
- or that groint sneezed on them -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 08:37 3
  - If that happened, would probably have to quarantine the breakroom (nm) - amoxy Oct 24, 08:38
  - if you think all he's going to do is sneeze, you don't know him that well... -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 08:38 1
    - That ain't sugar glaze! -- nm - Jim Oct 24, 08:39

The issue with a Beltran injury is when it's put on top of an Allen Craig injury... - Jim Oct 24, 08:07 17
- Hearing that replay with the *THUMP* of him hitting the wall is brutal - amoxy Oct 24, 08:15 7
  - Yep. And was it me, or did he make that catch look easy? - Jim Oct 24, 08:27 5
    - I told Kelly that he was fortunate he made the catch given he seemed to have zero awareness of hitting the wall. - Will Hunting Oct 24, 08:33
    - He was very cool about it. You didn't think he was injured so bad he had to go to the hospital -- nm - amoxy Oct 24, 08:32 1
      - Apparently he was having trouble breathing...which is par for the course for an injury like this. -- nm - Jim Oct 24, 08:39
    - he totally made it look easy and as Diva said, looked cool doing it. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 08:29
    - he looked cool catching it. too bad he was injured. -- nm - Diva Oct 24, 08:28
  - fucking goofy ass ballpark! - groiny Oct 24, 08:26
- [deleted] 7
  - He has a rib contusion. These usually take 2-3 weeks to heal. So, he'll get a shot and see if he can go. - Jim Oct 24, 08:14 1
    - [deleted]
  - and I would say that Lester pitched pretty damn good. - groiny Oct 24, 08:13 3
    - A prime example of the Beltran injury hurting us...5th inning 2nd, 3rd with 2 outs. Beltran's spot in the lineup... - Jim Oct 24, 08:17 2
      - so, was there not a right handed bat available that could have played RF? -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:19 1
        
        Yeah...but he started in Center. We moved Shane Robinson over to RF and put Jay in CF. - Jim Oct 24, 08:24
  - one game does not a series make. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:12
- And spammy's right. He's Ruthian in the post season. He has made up for several other Cardinals struggles. - Jim Oct 24, 08:08
So at this time a year ago there were 84 NFL players injured, unable to play. This year there are 125? Ouch. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 08:03 3
- all those additional rules are really working!! -- nm - decline Oct 24, 08:05
- I'm doing all I can! -- nm - Brandon Merriweather Oct 24, 08:04 1
  - and the pictures he has of Goodell murdering puppies really help as well -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 08:09
some of these Dan Snyder photoshops are hilarious -- (link) - Beaker Oct 24, 07:58
This is my monthly post that at least a third of pitchers in baseball use foreign substances. - David Oct 24, 07:54 1

we are trying to see a condo. They people selling are making it impossible to view. - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 07:52 19
- Beware: Don't fall in love with the unit. Complete your . . . - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Oct 24, 08:18 9
  - the unit is a disaster. broadloom everywhere. we like this building because we've looked at all that stuff. - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 08:22 8
    - I have to say that I'm insulted on your behalf that a person who should well know your personality and ethic would question your smarts when it comes - mayor amanda jones Oct 24, 08:24 7
      - the master bedroom is 21 ft x 11 ft. that is ENORMOUS is condo-land. - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 08:25 6
        
        a friend was in my bedroom for the first time last night and was *shocked* at how small it was. I think it's 8x11. I would have no idea what to do - mayor amanda jones Oct 24, 08:29 1
        
        one end would definitely be office-y. -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 08:29
        
        whoa. that can't be downtown -- nm - zork Oct 24, 08:26 2
        
        South Kingsway and Queensway. -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 08:28 1
        
        nice. -- nm - zork Oct 24, 08:31
        
        nice. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 08:26
- when we were selling, we went with nearly all the requests (btw, link for you on B2) -- nm - zork Oct 24, 08:06 3
  - I think they miscounted on the green line - Christie is the Korean stop -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 08:12
  - Yup. The house was empty, but a set of new HeroClix had dropped so I has a couple friends come to the house to sort. - hellSpawn Oct 24, 08:12
  - the subway map is very funny. (where i live is 'scenic.') -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 08:11
- when I bought my house, the sellers were like this. my real estate agent joked that the only reason that I got such a great deal is that - mayor amanda jones Oct 24, 07:54 2
  - silver lining! -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 07:59 1
    - seriously. -- nm - mayor amanda jones Oct 24, 08:11
- I suspect one of them wants to sell and the other does not. -- nm - David Oct 24, 07:54
- Good things come to those that wait. - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:53
13 year old Californian boy shot to death by deputies...he was carrying a fake gun -- (link) - Beaker Oct 24, 07:42 68
- it sucks for the family and community, but I can't fault the cops here. - znufrii Oct 24, 08:03 26
  - Here's what I don't get though...why wouldn't the kid have dropped the gun when told to by cops? - Jim Oct 24, 08:11 25
    - I know, adolescent boys are usually so rational! -- nm - mara Oct 24, 08:21
    - no hablo ingles? -- nm - decline Oct 24, 08:20 11
      - in any country, if cops are pointing guns at me and I'm holding something? no matter what it sounds like they say, that thing is getting dropped -- nm - zork Oct 24, 08:22 10
        
        and to make an assumption, a cop in that area, or one of them, had to be fluent in Spanish. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:25 9
        
        They don't even have to be fluent...but you would think every cop in that neighborhood would be able to say certain things in Spanish. - Jim Oct 24, 08:29 7
        
        well, if they were not fluent, then that is just bad staffing. - groiny Oct 24, 08:31 6
        
        Also, the town is predominantly white -- nm - con_carne Oct 24, 08:36 2
        
        where did you see that? -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:38 1
        
        I see that now when I googled, I stand corrected. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:40
        
        I think people would balk at spending public funds training cops in a language other than English -- nm - con_carne Oct 24, 08:34 1
        
        in California????? - groiny Oct 24, 08:36
        
        Every pair should have one on every shift...you would think. - Jim Oct 24, 08:32
        
        No. But they would know phrases -- nm - con_carne Oct 24, 08:28
    - there's a lot we don't know here. - znufrii Oct 24, 08:19 5
      - well, we do know he had the gun, and we likely know he did not drop it when requested. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:20 4
        
        yeah, and thinking worst case here brings me to some rather unpleasant ideas as to this kid's motives. -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 08:23 3
        
        Well, there's 2 different worst case for me. Yours...that the kid was up to something. - Jim Oct 24, 08:26 1
        
        *nods* - znufrii Oct 24, 08:29
        
        *possible* motives, rather... -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 08:25
    - scared and froze? -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 08:16
    - I'm sure he was indignant. Or defiant. Or confused. Just not immediately compliant. Rule one when being told to do something by the police is to do it - landbeck Oct 24, 08:13 4
      - Slowly? Disagreed. You do not even lower it to the ground, you drop it immediately. - hellSpawn Oct 24, 08:17
      - perhaps depressed/suicidal or delusional? -- nm - zork Oct 24, 08:15 2
        
        or just a dumbass. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:15 1
        
        definite possibility -- nm - zork Oct 24, 08:21
- My first thought was about Al Powell. I am a bad person. -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 07:46 27
  - my first thought was ' ban fake guns" - Epiphany Oct 24, 07:47 25
    - What's the difference between this, and banning real guns? -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 07:55 3
      - ban real guns! -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 08:10
      - I was being sarcastic. - Epiphany Oct 24, 08:09 1
        
        I was wondering, but groiny's agreement tipped the balance for me. -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 08:12
    - I would agree, but this kid apparently was a dumbass. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 07:49 20
      - see also "13 years old." -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 07:53 18
        
        yeah, I know that, but there are several things about this that are not smart. - groiny Oct 24, 07:55 2
        
        the gun itself sounded dangerous in it's own right really. -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 07:56 1
        
        And on top of that, he was carrying a second gun. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:57
        
        Uhm, guns do not work if you are young? - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:54 14
        
        no, i was just saying most 13 year olds ARE dumbasses. where he got such a 'toy' is the issue. - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 07:58 13
        
        look at some of the replicas on this site, which I order stuff from..... - groiny Oct 24, 08:01 6
        
        so - why HAVE those? serious question? -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 24, 08:03 4
        
        to train for the real thing later. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 08:06
        
        small penis -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 08:05
        
        for shootin' varmints -- nm - decline Oct 24, 08:04
        
        Chicks dig them. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 08:04
        
        Yup. And the photo in the link looks like an AK. Period. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 08:02
        
        most pellet guns like that, have the bright orange tip, big enough to show that it is not a real gun - groiny Oct 24, 08:00 3
        
        The Federal Statue exempts replicas that fire metal pellets from the orange tip law. - decline Oct 24, 08:02 2
        
        I am guessing this is what he had.... -- (link) - groiny Oct 24, 08:04 1
        
        *smh* -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 08:06
        
        it sounds like it was not even his gun. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 24, 07:59
        
        Oh, sorry. Misunderstood. Exactly. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:59
      - A thug wannabe, even. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:50
  - Light 'em if you got 'em. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:46
- Uh yeah, did you see the pic? It was a replica of an assault rifle. Very accurate. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:43 12
  - I usually think it goes "drop the gun or we will shoot" not directly to the shooting -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 07:46 11
    - The report I saw said they ordered him to and he did not. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:49
    - ""The two deputies repeatedly ordered the subject to drop the rifle " -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:49 9
      - (that's a quote from the link you posted) -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:49 8
        
        I don't have time to read the news I just report the news! (I missed it when I read through, d'oh) -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 07:50 7
        
        Now that I looked, it says it twice!!! -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 24, 07:51 6
        
        *wonders if that would be ironic* - JenBro Oct 24, 08:10 5
        
        snort -- nm - Epiphany Oct 24, 08:27
        
        heee. - zork Oct 24, 08:11 3
        
        actually ... - JenBro Oct 24, 08:14 2
        
        well ... - zork Oct 24, 08:19 1
        
        *smh* tough crowd ... tough crowd -- nm - JenBro Oct 24, 09:17
Coffee v smoothies: Which is better for you? -- (link) - LMS Oct 24, 07:41 1
- Diet Pepsi (as evidenced by my clean colonoscopy yesterday) -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 08:05
Seriously, in the first 3 innings last night, the only thing that went right for the Cardinals was Beltran didn't drop the grand slam ball when he - Will Hunting Oct 24, 07:35 4
- Here's the thing about Kozma...so far in these playoffs, he's looked like he was possessed by Ozzie Smith. - Jim Oct 24, 08:03 3
  - As bad as he looked, the play between Wainwright and Molina was baffling. - Mel Profit Oct 24, 08:20 2
    - It reminded me of the 2006 WS where the Tigers pitchers couldn't remember how to throw the ball to first base. - Jim Oct 24, 08:31 1
      - baseball fans know to expect this stuff, we just pray it happens to the "other guys". - Mel Profit Oct 24, 08:37
‏@ezraklein "No I will not yield to this monkey court!" "This is not a monkey court!" This just happened in Congress. -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:33 7
- @SuzyKhimm What the monkey court was arguing about: GOPers argue site violates HPPA. Pallone says it doesn't apply b/c users don't share health info -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:36
- Apparently Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) was the one who called the hearings on healthcare.gov a "monkey court" -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:35 1
  - Well said. -- nm - Arthur Kirkland Oct 24, 07:53
- ‏@sarahkliff The google image search for "monkey court: is just *delightful*. -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:35
- monkey court would be an awesome tv show -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 07:34 1
