I'm leaving it since it's clear that what follows is not true and that I made a mistake thinking it was Piniella. Seems the up-front way to handle it. Read more

Which is why it's changed and noted in bold at the top of the post. Read more

I updated the headline just now to make it clear this is not Lou Piniella. Read more

Lefty here as well. Just got used to it, I guess. Read more

That was my first year. I don't know if it was 50/50 but it was a lot more than I expected. Read more

Yeah, it's definitely a generational thing and I was in some weird transition period. Maybe one person per class used a laptop in my senior year of college? That's being generous. I remember being shocked how many came to class with them my first year of law school, though. I just found it easier to take notes, and… Read more

Just a personal preference, friend. Also, my exam was not lost in the ether and I slept fine between both days without freaking the fuck out wondering if my exam would count for anything, so, there's that. Read more

Hand cramps...get the fuck out of here, guys. Read more

As far as I know there is no way to blog by writing posts out by hand. Read more

Not you? Read more

Ha, been out of the game for a long time. Read more

I remember this was an issue in my last year of law school, too. Not many people were using laptops at this point, but still many more than had been in college. I don't know if they were using the same company, but a shitload of people were freaking out after finals because their software went to shit during the exam. Read more

Yeah? Read more

Way to go, man. My only goal is to save my hometown, so really great job wishing to get me fired. Read more

Like I said, there are any number of reasons you can fail to prove the major offense, yet can prove the lesser ones. Evidence could be judged inadmissible; a faulty breathalyzer was just an example. Maybe the paper's smudged and you can't read it to certainty necessary to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was… Read more

No, he doesn't. First of all "charges" are just that: charges. They must be proved before a person can be convicted. As many of pointed out, lesser included offense get absorbed in the more serious crimes. Obviously the elements of regular, extreme, and super extreme dui are essentially the same but for the… Read more

Ah, that was dumb, but surprisingly not because I didn't realize b-r wasn't updated. I did the math on the at bats—including the 7th inning at bat to get to 11, but then obviously didn't include the single when noting "all of them home runs" bit. Anyway, dumb, but fixed. Thanks. Read more

Yeah, you might, and it's not redundant. It's done to avoid a situation where you are only charged with the most serious offense and, for whatever reason, the prosecution fails to prove the elements necessary to convict, therefore allowing you to get off scot free. Read more

Fantasy related, anyway: a place for Bad fantasy Beats. It goes against the "nobody cares about your fantasy team" grain, yeah, but it happens to everyone and would be cathartic for the submitter, and probably entertaining to sympathetic readers. We could share the best/worst ones over to the main page, etc. Read more
