Isn't that just light blue?

The few times I looked at the picture last night, I saw blue and a dark brown (which I accepted to be black, because of the s***** picture quality, and seeing the blue through the lacy black bits). As I was reading through this thread this afternoon and saw the picture, it ever so briefly looked like white and gold. I looked away for a second, then it was back to blue and brown/black. Both times I've been in my office at school, with the same room lighting and monitor brightness. Also, the message board has a somewhat similar background to Facebook, where I originally saw the picture.

I'm over 30 and I don't say that.

Sorry, just polluting your thread. I'd like to join, but doubt I'll have the time.

Taken in isolation, base running is kind of like NASCAR. A competitor attempts to cross a predetermined endpoint by traveling in a counter-clockwise direction around a set course constructed from a simple geometric shape, periodically returning to a recessed location populated with fellow teammates, in order to replenish.

To save money? If they pay 60% to have the player taken off their hands, that's still 40% of the salary that they don't have the pay.

According to Wikipedia, nearly 20% of the world's donkey population is in Latin America. Yet, only 9% of the world's human population lives there. Latin America: Ass hoarders.

What you're really saying is "I accept the validity of this metric except for this one player because I saw him make mistakes a few times in games his team lost, in a manner that might have directly led to said defeat. My brain, because it is a human brain and has a predilection for finding patterns, has determined that this is a trend and not noise, and concluded that it negates the value of the metric. But only in this case. For this one player. Because patterns."

Indeed.

Kingston actually.

I don't think he needs our permission to f***.

That's precision, not accuracy.

"A source is literally any human being on the planet." Just not those six motherf***ers on the ISS.

Is it just me, or was every home run in that video off an 85 mph fastball down the middle?

Yeah, that's what I heard. I'd kind of gotten used to fairly mild winters in KC, so to come here and have to endure Kingston's winter from hell was not much fun. I think the tallest is around 16 or 17 stories, but that's still pretty short to me. I'd spend a couple years in a smaller college town in Missouri, so I thought I had an idea of what I was getting into. But while I had a lot of friends there, I knew no one when I moved here, so it was a pretty rough time.

I agree with all the pros, but everything being close is really just a byproduct of a small downtown. I do appreciate that I'm a 15-minute walk from my building on campus, less than 10 minutes away from a handful of great restaurants and bars, and a block away from the grocery store. But like I was saying, it just has that small college-town feel about it, and it's not for me. The last ~6 years I was living in Kansas City were spent in the urban core, so I'm just used to much, much more density, in both architecture, and people. The lack of tall buildings here really throws me off, which I know is a byproduct of a small city (granted, one apparently filled with yokels who hate anything tall and/or modern). The tallest building in Kingston wouldn't even crack the top 40 in Kansas City, a city not exactly known for having a large number of tall buildings. There's even a roller coaster in KC that's taller. And a World War I memorial. And a f***ing flag pole. I lived in Ottawa until I was 15, so I was pretty young, but I don't remember any winter as bad as the one we just had in Kingston, except when we had the ice storm in (February, I think) 1998.

I live downtown, and it's not a bad place to be. It definitely has that small-town/college-town feel to it, though.

I wish it was. I knew Kingston was a small city before I moved here, but I didn't realize just how terrible it really is.

If you're talking about the Royals game, I don't live in Kansas City anymore.

Well now that my thesis is finished, I might have to do this.

I sit down and turn on a stream for the game...and Bautista hits a homer. I'm not sure I can contain my erection.

Heh, they gave Kawasaki a double.

Including his appearance last night, he's sitting at 106.2 innings pitched.
