I was in Vancouver this weekend
and a guy asked me for change, and I literally didn’t have any, and when I said sorry, he started yelling at me, “mother fucker, I need to eat so I can shit it out my ass, you mother fucker”
It was pretty crazy
He's still a human
You shouldn’t call him “it.”

So, I just checked out the box score
Weren’t you winning for a long time?
by Brendanukkah on Apr 19, 2009 4:44 PM EDT up reply actions
Yep.
Terrible fan interference non-call “homer” followed by a bullpen implosion. Pavano wasn’t crap, though. Which was nice.
Lousy Yankees and their fan-assisted homers!

agreed
I think it would have gone out easily had the fans not been there.
This could be bad. There didn’t used to be seats right up against the wall like that. Now there are. There are probably going to be a lot more plays like that one.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
No
But he did get some free seats behind home plate courtesy of the local papers.
And he’s working in baseball now. Not as a player, but as a coach and front office type.

How else does he get guys to miss those pitches?

Sneaking into players’ houses while they are doing their wives.
He’s also got a great camera that doesn’t need a flash

Slightly more than one line.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
not really
At least IME, once you figure out how it works, you can ride the train in any city. And NY really makes it easy. They have electronic maps that light up to show you where the train is and where it’s going.
The trick is realizing the trains go in different directions on different platforms (or on different sides of the platform). And that trains don’t necessarily stop at all stations. Once you figure that out, it’s easy.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah, but most people don't realize that.
NYC is the only system that has local and express trains, which baffles many people. Moreover, a lot of out-of-towners get confused by the different directions (uptown/downtown, etc). I remember my father telling me how confused he was, since he thought all of Manhattan was dense enough to be “downtown.”
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
yeah, I know
I was one of them. I got on going the wrong way…to a job interview. I was half an hour late. They gave me the job anyway, because half an hour late is “on time” in NYC.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Did you see Spider-Man? Cuz that could be confusing
Peter Parker lives in Queens, so if you saw Spider-Man, you might naturally assume you were there. BUT… he works at the Daily Bugle (and goes to school at Empire State University) in Manhattan. So he might just as reasonably be spotted there. What a dilemma when you’re trying to get your bearings!
