The Swamp

It would be different if it weren't a confrontational douche of an ump. Many people on twitter, the super-amazing Keith Law among them, noted that he didn't ring Zobrist up until Zobrist had already made a move towards 1B. (Also, this is the guy who told Jeter he didn't need to be tagged on a CS if ...

I don't think they're trying to equate gold chains & saggy pants with black on white oppression. They're just going with the stereotypes. White guy in rebel flag shirt = racist vs. black guy in baggies and chains = gangbanger. Both are saying I won't judge your book by it's cover if you won't j...

Paisley: "Despite acknowledging that I'm actually aware of the pain this symbol I like to wear can cause you, thus negating my claims of accidental racism, I want to continue wearing it. In return, I won't judge you for wearing a completely inoffensive article of clothing that a lot of white pe...

You wonder how many more starts he'd have if not for some of those wasted bullets late in 5 run games.

mister d

I just can't believe LL went along with it. I never had him in the Mos Def or Q-Tip category, but I didn't think he was a dummy either.

mister d

DC: Really? The song is called "accidental racist", and yet he knows why the black guy working a minimum wage job is offended despite not discussing it with him. And then LL trades off bandanas for the fucking confederate flag.

mister d

Oh, its LL without a doubt. I'm not able to render the final verdict, but I'm thinking even without knowing who was saying what, he would have had the most singularly offensive line in the entire song.

mister d

The entire song is both offensive and completely undercutting of the title in the first two lines. That has to be some sort of record.

mister d

To add: Red parts are LL.

I feel like Bronto should be starting this thread but maybe he's too embarrassed or something, which is understandable. To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you understand When I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I'm a Skynyrd fan The red flag on my ...

(Also, we're going to see Huey next month. I think he's one of two guys over 60 my wife would do.)

Have allergy meds improved in the last decade or so? I get them pretty bad around season changes but the medicine always made me feel a bit floaty and wasn't worth it.

Anyone else have a bloody nose almost every morning?

mister d

I'm going to respectfully disagree on why there was no contact #disagreements #repsect

mister d

You're on the right path!

My guess is 2 games for MDZ. It was reckless, which usually isn't time away, but the results looked bad and it was a star player.

(And how about Dupuis' followup. Rare you see such an obviously dirty play that a complete whiff still draws 2:00.)

mister d

Fun fact that makes me want to kill myself: When everyone is healthy and Mariano is on the mound, 7 of the 10 Yankees in the game will have received MVP votes in 2006. Even "better" way of looking at this, give or take a miscount. Of the 30 on the 2006 AL MVP ballot, 12 play for other tea...

Also, maximum hypothetical SEO.

I find that good flow ruins the rambling, run-on sentence game.

Changed man Matt Cooke is such an impressive changed man who never does anything dirty anymore because he's such a changed man #cooke #changed #man #changedmancooke

Lets call it even.

Can't spell Kunitz without kunt.

(For the sake of my sadness, assume a lefty started so Wells is in LF over Gardner.)

But the overall point is great. I remember playing one on one against my brother in grade school and he would get mad at me and call me a faggot and throw balls at me (both my head and my legs). Why should the 44 year old head coach of a high major division 1 school be held to a higher standard than...

mister d

He generally threw it at their legs, presumably in an effort not to inflict harm. I don't know which is more ridiculous, the fact that you basically credit the coach with not trying to inflict harm when he was throwing balls at players or the fact that you flippantly use the word "generally&qu...

If you put Nunez at 2B, the Yankees likely have the greatest DL IF ever.

(Someone take that super funny layup.)

mister d

So it all boils down to word choice? Gee, I wonder how often the word nigger is used on a basketball court. Rarely, im sure. Sports and locker rooms have always had an exception to general rules of political correctness. It is somewhat different when used by a coach but still, somewhat different. I...

mister d

Here's one thing I've never understood in these debates: The people taking the coaches' sides almost universally have an air of "if you can't take it, you're soft" to their argument, but is there anything more soft or subserviant than letting a person beat you because you made a mistake?

mister d

And its the timing too. If a coach called a player a "fucking douche" because he posted on twitter that he nailed a girl and didn't call her or something legitimately douchey like that, I have no issue. If he called a player a "fucking douche" because he was standing in the wrong...

mister d

Calling them "fucking douches", or "douches" really since I don't have any issue with the word "fuck", would be on the other side of the line. Its probably makes the coach himself a douche for not having a better way to communicate, but its not nearly as offensive as &q...

mister d

(And because I know where this is headed, calling them a "pussy" is very much not the same. None of the players were or could potentially be women with vaginas. So you can tastelessly imply they're soft in a variety of off-color ways without that slur.)

mister d

I really hope one of their bosses comes in, whips a laptop at their head, calls them a "fucking faggot" and they shrug it off or just go get another job because maybe they aren't cut out for the current one.

mister d

Flipside argument: This proves the AD has awful judgment and you may as well fire him now before his next screwup. Kicking players, throwing balls at their heads and screaming that they're "fucking faggots" (while not winning!!!) isn't a gray area.

mister d

The assistant is the son of hateable St. Joseph's of PA head coach Phil Martelli. I know a decent portion of their fanbase realizes the Nelson/West run was almost a decade ago and is over Martelli; trying to give his son a soft landing might push the majority over.

My wife and I were discussing shitter etiquette the other day. When Mrs. Bfj has to deuce in a public place, she will wait until the bathroom is cleared before releasing. She doesn't want to make loud deuce dropping noises while others are there for fear of embarrassment. I laughed at this. You're ...

Also, also, I think this was in an old swamp but its appropriate and worked out perfectly. PA guy started at just the right time and Johnson's reaction was perfect.
