[deleted] 6
- Here's the real question: has LJ tweeted about his release yet? -- nm - David Nov 9, 11:00 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - yeah, he did that after the last incident. in reality, he is probably sleeping off a night of drinking and slapping girls. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 9, 11:03
- Maybe him and DeAngelo will kill each other. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:57
- bwhahahahahaha -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 10:56
- which would be awesome, cause this would drastically increase the chances of an onfield fight between two Redskins players. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 9, 10:55

What's more shocking about this story? A highway covered with thousands of BEEEEEEES? Or that there's a town named "Grindrod"? -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 9, 10:46 3
- *punches Grindrod in the face* -- nm - Nick "Tommy Harris" Cage SI Nov 9, 11:10

I just caught my first glimpse of the new Dell Adamo XPS... and pissed myself. -- (link) - Mop (228 lbs) Nov 9, 10:42 4
- Have you been under a rock lately? -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 10:51 1
  - I guess so. Usually, I see Adamo and my eyes glaze over. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Nov 9, 11:02

      - in this thread -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 9, 10:42 [Backboard] 4
        
        heh - and there I am in that thread, pointing out how left wing the Economist is :) -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 10:43 3
        
        I notice you didn't point out it was right-wing liberally, though. What a loser. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 10:44 2
        
        Well, in Australia the right-wing party is called the Liberal Party, so it's the same thing to me :) -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 10:48
        
        i got the gift of gab. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 10:45

- She looks like a Chicken, just sayin'... -- nm - scorpion Nov 9, 10:40
- "Across the world and throughout history, it's been exclusively male-female." ... or male-female-female-female-female-female-femal e-female-etc -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 10:38
- Insane arguments aside (you mean in the few years it's been legal, 100% of gay couples haven't run out and gotten married yet?) I always laugh when - Reagen Nov 9, 10:38 6

    - I have a hard time imagining any of the scenarios she cites as being necessarily a bad thing. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 10:41 2
      - Well, she leaves the door wide open for a 200s reboot of Kate and Allie, where they get married to share the burden of rearing their kids -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 10:46 1
        
        Just when you think you're all by yourself, you're not. -- nm - Diva Nov 9, 10:51

So how long should I wait before I call the Nissan dealer with a 'final' offer? - MojaveMeg Nov 9, 10:32 6
- Keep in mind that their invoice isn't real invoice. If you wait until the end of the month, you should be able to get invoice. -- nm - David Nov 9, 11:01
- I kind of have a boycott going on Nissan cars, ever since a dealer pissed me off. He made a total dick move, so ... no Nissans for me. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 10:49
- if you haven't already, I *highly* recommend using edmunds.com for their car buying offerings. - b. Nov 9, 10:48
- I'm pretty surprised by those rates. Up here, almost everywhere is offering 0%. -- nm - Shaun Nov 9, 10:43
- [deleted] 1
  - Edmunds.com is free and will show you a lot of that. -- nm - pmb Nov 9, 10:49
I'm going to come up with an Economist drinking game just for Jack Dawson -- nm - ceregon Nov 9, 10:31 1

  - Hrmph. - kelly Nov 9, 10:55
Sweet. GE has started shipping Reveal CFL bulbs. Gotta get one of those and see how they look -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 10:29 1
- I was watching that doug wilson/moving up show on TLC, and they had not one but TWO plugs for "GE appliances" - Beryllium Nov 9, 10:31

- So sorry. - kelly Nov 9, 10:47
- Very sorry to hear that. I lost my last grandparent last week. - TWuG Nov 9, 10:47 2
  - :( -- nm - kelly Nov 9, 10:58
  - so sorry, and what a couple. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 10:49
- So sorry. I was the same age when I lost my first grandparent. -- nm - Callisto Nov 9, 10:38
- So sorry. Mine were all gone long before that, but my parents were both the younger ones in their families. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 9, 10:34
- all my best wishes -- nm - peglegpete Nov 9, 10:33
- Mine are long gone as well. My heart feels for her loss. -- nm - con_carne Nov 9, 10:33
- [deleted]
- aww, condolences to y'all. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 10:32

I don't believe in "clutch ability" in general. But if it does exist, it exists in Mariano Rivera's right arm. - musubi Nov 9, 10:28 30
- I wish I could hate him. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:32 4
  - Yeah. Pretty much. Why can't be at least be a man-ho like Jetes? (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 10:34 3
    - Course, let's be honest, if you're going to be a man-ho....Jeter's a pretty good role model. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:36 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Adam Duritz has to be in on this. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:38
- and not in Tex's bat -- nm - David Nov 9, 10:29 24
  - I wonder in 10 years, if we'll find out what unknown supplement he's been on the last 5 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:33 7
    - [deleted]
    - if he was on something, there's nothing to suggest it was just 5 years. - musubi Nov 9, 10:36 5
      - I meant ARod. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:37 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I'm sure he lied. I just don't think it makes a difference. - musubi Nov 9, 10:40 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        C'mon.....New York is clearly less pressure than Texas. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:39
  - ...because it generally doesn't exist. (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 10:32 15
    - Some players tighten up. I'm surprised you don't believe in such an obvious characteristic. -- nm - David Nov 9, 10:39 14
      - I believe choking exists in the world. But it's been studies numerous times and shown to not exist in *MLB* to any significant extent. - musubi Nov 9, 10:46 6
        
        That's just nonsense. - David Nov 9, 10:57 5
        
        My recollection of the column was the DOB *always* agreed with you. It was JC Bradbury who I linked, he disagree with you and O'Brien. (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 11:02 4
        
        Right and he wrote that column because DOB started frequently pointing out on the blog how we would have won a game if Tex had come through in clutch. - David Nov 9, 11:06 3
        
        You're letting your emotional reaction to small sample sizes color your ability to accept reason. - musubi Nov 9, 11:11 2
        
        Your stance is that there is no standard deviation once players reach the MLB level. It couldn't be more nonsensical. Seriously. -- nm - David Nov 9, 11:17 1
        
        So your arguement here is, "I think that's silly, so it can't be?" - musubi Nov 9, 11:22
      - [deleted] 6
        
        Yes. He had a phenomenal series with the angels. - musubi Nov 9, 10:44 5
        
        As phenomenal as a guy can with 1 RBI. He had 7 singles in 15 at bats. -- nm - David Nov 9, 10:58 4
        
        And you know how much meaning RBI have. (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 11:14 2
        
        In general, yes. In Tex's case, he's a much better hitter with no one on base. - David Nov 9, 11:17 1
        
        Joe Morgan, arguably the greatest 2nd baseman of all time, also didn't like runners moving while he was hitting. - musubi Nov 9, 11:18
        
        Thus the phrase, "also a small sample size". (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 11:12
