Since you clearly need everything spoonfed to you, you're a gazelle claiming he'd rather associated with a hyena than a lion. It's a point, but it's a stupid one.

Yeah, something stupid.

We learned from the interminable TNG movies that Star Trek is not suitable for being made into action movies, and they're fortunate if they're just bad Trek or bad action since they're usually bad at being both. Then again, I'm one of the few who perceives the objective fact that Star Trek: The Motion Picture is the best Trek movie, so maybe my opinion has the high and lonely destiny of rejected truth.

Damn that's crazy, I don't see anything to indicate that anybody asked. Lemmy must be having some federating issues.

Protectionism isn't peculiar to capitalism, and to say using it undermines the promoted purpose of capitalism is the exact same thing as when AnCaps cry about antitrust laws. Every capitalist country and almost all communist countries employ regulated capitalism. I get taking exception to this stupid-ass policy, but what you're saying really doesn't convey anything.

The amount doesn't matter as much as the context. Plenty of mistakes will always happen because baseball is very hard, but some only happen when you're not focusing on fundamentals. The Dodgers definitely performed below their level, but the Jays committed serious bad-fundamentals blunders in high-leverage situations, and they lost the World Series because of one that was particularly egregious and that you could count on D3 college players to never make. I'm not exaggerating when I say the Blue Jays would be smoking cigars (or comatose) right now if IKF hadn't taken a four inch lead off third, nor taken a bad hop off the batted ball, nor spent time watching it, nor slid on a force play. The Blue Jays win if he only makes three out of four mistakes. But he made all four mistakes and was out by less than a centimeter. If I was John Schneider I would have drowned him in the Gatorade cooler the instant he set foot in the dugout. Though that would also be unjustifiable because he reacted to the doubling-up travesty from the other day by telling the basurunners not to take leads anymore, which was bad coaching, shutting the barn door after the horse runs out, and Tom-fool advice. When you have two fairly evenly matched teams, the difference will come from who has the nerves not to fuck up the basics in high-pressure situations.

Toronto also forgot that being good at running the bases is critical in baseball, hence the name.

People are going to snivel and howl over how the billion dollar team crushed the heckin wholesome Blue Jays, but I'm here to tell you that the Dodgers' budget didn't make the objectively superior Blue Jays' lineup go 3 for 17 with runners in scoring position when it mattered most. As an Atlanta Braves fan, I'm uniquely qualified to call out choke jobs, and this was a choke job for the century.
