The Unforgettable Fire was my jam until our house caught on fire and I haven't been able to forget it

you're a monster

Do I judge people who press 1-3-0-COOK on the microwave instead of just 9-0-COOK?

Yeah, maybe a little. What of it?

So, since I also agree with you on this, the thing that made me think of Fiennes as a Cat 3 is Lenny Nero vs Charles van Doren.

Two wildly different characters, and they do not feel like the same character, but there's just enough Ralph Fiennesness to them that they're also inseparable.

I feel like Ralph Fiennes is also a Cat 3 guy.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and failure

every baseball team is maga, it's why I only vaguely care about the Royals anymore and not a bit about any other team

Pinch runner... .after a moment of silence

Todd Pratt absolutely turned around from second base to give him a big ol' bear hug. He may have abandoned the baseline after that, but he'd have been out by rule the second that happened.

I'm wondering -- because I was on a road trip during that game and listening on the radio -- whether what got Ventura wasn't "being unable" to touch the bases, but Todd Pratt picking him up to celebrate. I don't know if Ventura was called out for passing him on the bases or not.

I like our old City Connects better, but there's nothing wrong with these new ones.

guys, scroll up

Co-worker to be stuffed in locker, official ruling

Found it. 5.12 b 3 A

(for clairty, Kapler was already on base, he wasn't the one who hit the homer)

I still haven't found the *rule*, but this happened to Gabe Kapler in 2005. Tore his achilles rounding second. Pinch-runner completed the trot.

(In Ventura's case, there was no need for any of that because the winning run had already scored, but I point everyone to Chris Chambliss's walkoff in Game 5 of the 1976 ALCS, when he was allowed to come back out and touch the plate after Yankee fans prevented him.)

Actually, yes it does.

8.02 specifies that an ejection doesn't take effect until conclusion of the play.

There's even apparently a rule granting the hitting team the opportunity to allow a pinch-runner to complete the home-run trot if the batter is unable to for any reason, but I'm not finding it.

How does anything you said relate to my characterization of the whole thing being "wilder"?

Yeah, that makes the whole thing 300% wilder

No, but neither does Tulsa

*micdrop*

BRIFADY!
