If you feel the need to threaten a pitcher's children's lives because he has a bad night, you don't love baseball, you don't love Jesus, and you clearly don't love yourself. Go get an actual life and ALL the therapy.

What do I want with sleep after a day like today? Especially when the water noise seems to be catching up, code switching as necessary. Good wine and just forty pages of the very last Cormac McCarthy left to go. Knowing all my rowdy friends back home will be up for hours yet...

The ACCURACY, the unbearable fucking accuracy

You can't convince most non-partisan/activist voters because most of them are going off of what their gut is telling them. And you can't logic vibes.
