Homer Bailey was dealing last night. Shame that it had to get suspended. 0-0 tie in the ninth. Also, Joey Votto has more walks than all but 9 players have hits this season. Again, with Phillips Raking and Cozart pretty much a complete offensive zero, there should be no reason votto hits #2 and phil...

As the voice of early Madden incarnations, Summerall is certainly one of the voices of football that i remember. Like Vin Scully and Harry Caray in baseball.

Add in his golf and yeah, this is a big broadcasting loss.

Why are there so many horrible leg wounds? Is that common? Was the bomb in a garbage can on its side? Well, if it were a sturdy metal one it probably acts as a grenade and the explosion goes outwards, not towards the opening. Too much force in a nanosecond for it to all funnel the path of least res...

Just off the dock there is a guy with clearly a chainsaw. I think it's arsene wenger.

iTunes is just the fucking worst. iTunes once ruined my entire music collection, and it is banned from all computers that I own. There is an option to "de-authorize" all devices and start fresh. I had to use it when we got new computers at work. But then enter the password one time to re-...

There is a big difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness. Assertiveness hinges upon the thought that you are standing up for your opinion, be it wrong or right. Assertiveness can take on some of the characteristics of aggressiveness at times. Aggressiveness needs no foundation; it needs on...

I just saw a gruesome photo of a victim in a wheelchair, missing most of both his legs. Makes Kevin Ware look quaint. Not recommended, looks like something out of Iraq. http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/bos041513/s_b08_53227478.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Wo...

Good point. Not sure how they would go about shutting down service, but it's possible that a first step would be to cancel all phones with that area code as a precaution.

"Reports of Marathon Runners that crossed finish line and continued to run to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims"

I have a hard time believing that one, NBC. Sensationalist twittering.

If you finish in 409 that's a tough slog for another mile.

I can't decide where I stand on people filming/taking pictures. I know we discussed this a bit in the subway story, but at some point, you need to stop and help, not document, story be damned. I know I'm not a medical professional, and my assistance would be only in a comforting/evacuation capacity,...

This is a time when Twitter becomes nearly useless. So many conflicting reports, including several saying that the police continue to find unexploded devices. It's hard to know if that's subsequent to the ones they already found or not.

Pat Forde tweeted that he had a friend finish the marathon 3 minutes before explosions. Which means he was likely still very close to the finish line.

“This changes everything [in New York],’’ one source told The Post. “Everyone’s on high alert. Our marathon was canceled in November. Who knows if that changed someone’s plans?’’

That's from the NY Post. Someone's stuck on themselves.

Can someone check on Giff?

Sad that the best-case outcome is so far-fetched.

Reports of an additional explosive device, per Bill Barnwell's twitter.

Oh man. That looks gruesome.

people are the worst, assuming this isn't some freak accident.

We were driving on the Natchez Trace yesterday, and with gusts of wind you could see clouds of pollen come wafting off the trees, like a green and yellow fog. It was pretty amazing. I've been in the south for almost a decade and had never seen the like before. We're used to seeing a yellow dusting ...

Simon Winchester's Korea talks about some of these same changes, as he went earlier in life and then returned later. I do think that he tried to shy away from the new stuff to focus on the past traditions that are holding up, in albeit potentially smaller pockets than would be expected. But the unde...
