Brandon Clarke may never throw enough quality strikes but there are like three LHPs in the entire sport who have his combo of arm speed and slider quality

My favorite stupid thing during college football broadcasts is how hard the announcers work to shoehorn local bars and restaurants into the broadcast. “That’s holding… just like I’ll be ‘holding’ a big plate of tot tacos at Brick Simpson’d Potato Hut in Springfield later!”

Madison folks will understand my angst in choosing between Rocky Rococo and Crazy TV Lenny, who was much more sane than he let on.

In last night's French class, we had to identify a problem and list solutions. The objective: write a brief newspaper-style opinion article about it. We chose "Fewer people are reading." So if you want to know how to say "We must give pizza to kids for reading books again" in French, let me know.

As a baseball fan and impartial observer, it’s completely unfair that either of these teams will have to go home after tonight.

Love this viral marketing for the next season of Lupin. How will that wacky Assane get away this time?!
Spectacular robbery of the French crown jewels at the Louvre today: three masked men climbed a ladder, broke a window, lifted nine priceless pieces from the Apollo gallery, got away on motorbikes. No one hurt.
Reportedly the most famous piece in the room, the 140 carat Regent diamond, was not taken.

Between Buttplug Guy, The Canadian Hulk, and now the cheesehead kid, what the hell is going on with the Jays’ front 3-4 rows? And I was tracking the Hulk guy back during the Yankees series.

I love how every 40 minutes or so, my feed is riddled with big ass references from both baseball and non-baseball people alike. It’s a bookmark for every Cal Raleigh plate appearance.
