That white supremacist Rangers hat is an indication the Rangers and MLB need to diversify management a bit.

I imagine them waking up in the morning and going "time to eat!" and then 500 steps later they've made it over to the feeding trough that was 10 feet away from where they were sleeping.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:How does the math work -- if he's even reasonably productive for a decent time both ways does he run away as the most valuable player of the modern era? I think it's less lopsided than it would seem at first blush. The schedule they've got him on has him pitching every 6th day rather than every 5th and DHing in 3 games in between. That works out to about a half-season's worth of at-bats as a DH, where it's going to be hard for him to rack up much in the way of WAR because of the penalty for lack of defense. David Ortiz put up a 134 wRC+ over about 600 plate appearances in 2014 and that was only good for 2.3 WAR. Even assuming that Ohtani could produce such sterling offensive numbers, over 300 PAs at a no defense position they'd probably only be worth about 1 WAR. He'd generate almost all of his value from his pitching. This is just napkin math and I love Ohtani and want him to do well, I just don't think his MVP candidacy would be a slam dunk even if he excels at both roles.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Wasn't Thin Blue Line an anti-cop movie? Not explicitly, but it definitely exposes the Dallas PD at the time as extremely incompetent and corrupt. The phrase “thin blue line” dates back to the 50’s, and it’s actually a modified line from a Kipling poem. So either way, it’s not something any rational person would use if they had bothered to research its origins.

bawfuls posted:Do Royals fans hate the Mets now? Do Cubs fans hate Cleveland? Did Giants fans hate the Rangers after 2010? It's a weird dynamic I don't really understand. But at least a bunch of Texans are happy, and that's what really matters. I dunno - I still don't like the White Sox - but you made fun of Houston as a city and Houstonians are oddly defensive and prideful about the city itself even though it is not exactly functional or aesthetically pleasing.
