Felons, given the choice of going straight or having to listen to this ‘rap’ song (really, just ‘crap’ without the ‘C’) continuously every day for the rest of their sentence, would never even spit on a sidewalk again. Bauer should spend years in jail for subjecting listeners to cruel and unusual punishment

Considering that the alternative is to be dead….being old isn’t all bad.

I am old. It’s cool. There’s worse things than being an old lady. I always say: you couldn’t pay me to do my 20′s again. That was crap.

Yeah, but only as much of an idiot as Bush would try to get him by invading the wrong country.

Sadly, I’m not sure many of those thumbs up are from people who realize I am mocking Trevor’s understanding of how rights are defended.

Sincerely respect the military for all they do….but defending American’s freedom of speech isn’t one of those things.

Unless we’re talking about soldiers from the late 1700s.

That’s probably a good call Philiac. Unless you really know (and like) your boss well.
She may want a drinking companion. She may want a sober driver.
Either way…it reflects well on you.
This reflection is undoubtedly a result of the gritty work you do on a daily basis.
Gritty work that is illustrated by your early arrival…late departure and bust ass attitude. LOL!

The boss already told me she’s sticking to beer, since she has to drive home. I figure I should not drink b/c w/ that warning, the chances I have to take the keys from my boss might be pretty good. Grit!

LOL! You have to know there is a very fine line between going the extra mile and kissing ass.
People need personal lives. Otherwise, their work suffers.
I bet the function is going to be as exciting as watching paint dry too.
I feel for you Philiac. I mean that. Unless there is alcohol involved.
If alcohol is involved your complaint is falling on deaf ears.

Speaking of going the extra mile, I want you to know that I am proving my grit tonight by attending some function after work with the boss. Wheeeee!

I had to shut it down at the 51 second mark (when my ears started bleeding).

If it was for the express purpose of financial gain we screwed the proverbial pooch.

Illegally and immorally invading an innocent country and murdering it’s locals for the express purpose of political and financial gain has nothing to do with any of your ‘rights’.

“Mayhaps”?

When we were kids, my brother & his friend made a “belching tape.” They recorded themselves belching over and over — those disgusting ones from the gut. Anyway, whenever I did something & he found out, he used to make me listen to so much of the tape or he’d tell Mom. I never made it 30 seconds in before I said I’d just tell Mom myself.

There’s also not a one-size-fits-all approach to coaching. Players have different styles and sometimes you have to tailor your coaching. Some people need more leash and some need a little whippin’.

Mayhaps, but he still doesn’t suffer by comparison to all of the “adults” who have been the ones bitching about him to the media all winter.

Catchers kind of call games….people always say catchers call games, but most of them do not. They make suggestions, the pitchers decide what will be thrown.

Considering how well Bauer had done by the age of 21, there isn’t any evidence that coaches, veterans, or his catcher know more about what Trevor Bauer needs to do to get hitters out than Trevor Bauer knows. Coaches have ruined plenty of prospects by trying to overhaul a deliver or throwing program that was working just fine for that pitcher. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach for how to pitch or how to hit, which is why good coaches are flexible in their approach to coaching those aspects of the game. You coach symptoms to identify how to eliminate manifest problems, you do not change things that are working.

Good God that’s terrible. I have him in one of my keeper pools and I feel like I should drop him just for this.
