Victorino... still funny this morning.

I haven't heard anything from Dave Van Ronk in ages.

Yeah, but Puma's got a source!

Look for Collin and Buzzy during your runs. They're your neighbors!

The game seemed designed to cause fights and lead to brawls. Great concept, but I'm not sure if I ever finished a game. All the slipping cards out from under the spinner and back under the pile again could also warp the transparent foundation and make the spins not so true.

Nice to know that Braves have two Davisive problems.

You've got to love the no-BS marketing approach here. Who is the Jet flying across the top right? Boozer?

So, who's got the Braves series? Those chumps are so beatable.

Also works with the double meaning of "Scout."

Every fan of every team seemingly has cause to feel sorry for themselves, but until the years past since the last championship outnumbers the sum total of teams in the league, I ain't joining your pity party.

He's probably younger than what Lee created, but if a film remake cast Duda as Boo Radley, I'd go and see it about 100 times.

You know, 1994 may be 19 years in the past, but I spare no pity for Rangers fans. They've had their taste.

I think Duda in left and Duda at first and Duda alternating between left and first are all viable options depending on who you add to the lineup. If Duda was the problem, we'd be a lot better.

A quick check puts Pittsburgh in dead last in MLB at the All-Star break in 2006.

It's certainly happened, but I think that's a worry for another day.

If only it were that simple.

Great stuff here. Please sign me up for newsletter.

It's that he's still curled up and feeling defensive and undone two beats later.

Saw it last night. Like the first one, some biggish plot holes that are easy enough to get past if you are willing to just enjoy the thrill ride, which is nicely paced as J.J. knows how to do. Man, the future is populated by the young and beautiful who just don't even know. The villain turns out to be (redacted)=#fff5c2]Khan Noonien Singh(/redacted), but he's presented very differently from the who actor played him in the past, which would be fine if they hadn't previously put so much effort into getting lookalikes and actalikes for all the principles. The actress playing Carol Marcus maybe kinda looks like Bibi Besch, though certainly more petite, but the British accent sort of throws that aside. But you know, having a frosty and pale Brit with excellent diction will always make for a zexy zidekick as well as a daunting villain even if that villain is playing the part of a (redacted)=#fff5c2]Spanish-Mexican playing an Ottoman Turkish-Armenian-Indian Sikh(/redacted). They throw a lot of bones to the geeks, with passing references to the likes of Harry Mudd, and also have scenes that are baldfaced references to scenes from the TV series and first film series that are now understood to have taken place in an alternate reality. Somehow, the creators seem to be saying, this timeline is unwinding similarly but differently. That's all good, I think, but at least one extended scene is such a literal re-working of a prior Star Trek scene, that it sort of chews up more space than it should, since you know exactly how it's going to unfold. This may just be my natural impatience. I had this problem the first time I saw Groundhog Day. "We know how this scene unfolds! Can you get to the part where it's different?!" But now I really can't get enough of Ned Ryerson. One cool thing: Spock is almost as much the protagonist here as Kirk. Probably the best part. It's a lot of fun. Not sure I'll ever get past or want to get past scenes of a villain blowing up city blocks and shattering a civilian population going about their day.

Wow, that's almost as squirrelly as Adrian Beltre and his head.

The Keith standard is indeed the gold one. But his aggressive charging is mostly associated with bunt plays where he had an idea where the ball was to be hit before the pitch was released. Not a great analogy. I'd prefer his fate be sealed not by his inability to play impeccable defense, but by his failure to provide a meaningful degree of offense to obviate the need for such.

The worst part is that he's also on the Knicks and Jets joyrides.

It ain't personal if they play somebody else. Just weighing different concerns against different options and making the most responsible strategic deployment that they can.
