Classy. Hey, do any of you Deadspin fans still want to defend them now that they’re running anonymous rumors about ESPN employees having affairs?

I once waited 4 hours for them to get the bags for our entire flight from the plane to the baggage claim carousel.

No, it doesn't. For the past decade, I made an average of 10 int'l flights per year. And I've nerve slept more than 2 hours on each flight--if I ever slept at all. That wouldn't meet Joe's cutoff line, and way under mine. But maybe I ca ngo thru' a sabermetric approach... hours per wake-up call by the FA, whether it's food or turbulent, instead of per flight... “I don’t know if sleep on the plane counts as real sleep.”

You argued that CC has become a pitcher, an artist, but there's nothing to back that up at all. This year he had his highest BB/9 total since 2005. He had his lowest K/9 total since 2005. His ERA, of course, was higher than it has been since 2005. He even threw more wild pitches this year than in any year since 2005. Did CC become an artist just in time to throw that gem against the Angels? Or, more likely, has he been a brilliant PITCHER for about four years now?

I just had to add - I also have a mileage countdown that tells me how many miles I have left in gas. From my experience though, the device seems to underestimate to help driver's not run out of gas. I've driven at least 20 miles when my gas gauge said 0 miles left. Fun read, usually I only catch you in the Star, Joe.

At the Metrodome from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., a long drive home, time to unwind...do I sleep for 3 hrs. or no? Usually, no. The spring is worse with 5 straight Thurs-Sat of this, and that includes Class A girls basketball. Oh, the humanity. I go through something like this every fall and spring covering HS championships.
