- Speaking as a fan who went through it a lot over the past 6 weeks, losing a star player at a key time like this is brutal. -- nm - David Oct 19, 19:41 2
  - That was tough, I was more commenting on Molina 3 run bomb that silenced the crowd -- nm - amoxy Oct 19, 19:42 1

- ouch. -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 19:20 2
  - His glove will be missed more than his bat. I hope it isn't torn, just pulled. -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 19:23 1
    - oh, definitely. that hurt to watch... -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 19:34

    - How old is that case? Hyde hadn't even seen his first boobie yet. -- nm - see? Oct 19, 19:15 5
      - Well, that's not fair. Hyde still hasn't seen his first boobie. -- nm - Mop Oct 19, 19:30 1
        
        I think you're confusing him with pixie. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 19:33

        *sigh* -- nm - Max Oct 19, 19:23
    - Yeah, hair on the Coke can was Thomas/Hill. -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 19:13
  - 1991. i remember debating it in my undergrad Con Law class -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 19:10
- I think it's a little weird that it's making the news. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 18:57 8
  - Why? I think the FBI is involved. -- nm - mara Oct 19, 18:59 7
    - I can't see any reason why the FBI would be involved. - Stephen Oct 19, 19:46 1
      - Yeah, it doesn't look like a significant amount of involvement. "Hill turned over the message Brandeis' Department of Public Safety, who then notified - mara Oct 19, 19:57
    - when's the last time you got a breaking news alert over a voicemail? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 19:15 4

        McCloud! -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 19:23
- Well, Anita's already gone to the press with the voicemail, so... -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 18:55 6
  - "According to a source at Brandeis who spoke on condition of not being identified," - hachiko Oct 19, 18:59 5
    - "a transcript of which was provided to the Globe and confirmed by Hill" - Stephen Oct 19, 19:27 4
      - her confirming it doesn't mean she leaked it -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 19:27 3
        
        Riiiiight... - Stephen Oct 19, 19:42 2
        
        give it to the press off the record so she can confirm the contents on the record - hachiko Oct 19, 19:53
        
        Campus security, maybe. -- nm - mara Oct 19, 19:45

An irate woman who stripped outside a Sheboygan bar claiming she was about to give birth was in fact not pregnant. -- (link) - mara Oct 19, 18:25 2
- You know it's a great story when "Rehab Bar & Grill" is the most sensible part of the report. -- nm - Mop Oct 19, 19:36
- I wonder why she picked that bar... -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 18:27
Chuck Wilson and the live ESPN chat catch up to us on that interference rule. -- (link) - TFox Oct 19, 18:20 11
- i know why it wasnt reviewable, but what i want to know - tRuMaN Oct 19, 18:30 10
  - A ball that hits the top of the fence is a home run for sure. Is that what you're asking? -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 18:32 9
    - no, what i am asking is it the top of the fence considered in the stands? - tRuMaN Oct 19, 18:33 8
      - I don't think the rule has to do with the ball being in the stands, it has to do with the OFer going into the stands to make the play. - TFox Oct 19, 18:35 7
        
        i am divinding that play into its distinct parts. - tRuMaN Oct 19, 18:39 5
        
        I am not the MLB rulebook, but I think it makes sense to define "the stands" as anyplace outside the field of play where a ball would be an HR. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 18:42 4
        
        That's my understanding too. Fans are allowed to do whatever they want so long as they don't reach in front of the wall. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 18:47 3
        
        except from one angle I saw, they did reach over... - znufrii Oct 19, 18:52
        
        Right. I had thought that probably not included dropkicking an OFer's arm, but apparently it doesn't. - TFox Oct 19, 18:51 1
        
        (Well, I just took a shit on the idea of "the sentence" right there. But you catch my drift.) -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 18:52
        
        But once it hits the top of the fence, the OF can't make a play -- the HR has been made. So it's "in the stands" in the sense that the fans - mara Oct 19, 18:38
Heh, I just drove through/around the worst traffic jam I've seen in a looong time. - Beryllium (iPhone) Oct 19, 18:16 1

If MLB abolished the strike zone, Vladimir Guerrero would win the MVP every year. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 18:16 1
