What a terrible playlist. That music is not even motivating. Read more

Still the best. Love Brand New so much. I will say that The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is miles better than Deja Entendu.

Your taste in music is amazing. I can't believe there's so much stuff on here I've actually listened to in the past few days. Also, your Pumpkin Ale point is dead on. Read more

I totally back Appleseed Cast here and I'm a current fatass (as my name implies) but it seems so much more enticing to just remain stationary for a day and listen to Low Level Owl 1 & 2 on repeat all day. Read more

Holy shit I cannot believe anyone else knew abt Rival Schools. I played "Travel by Telephone" everyday on my college radio station, ended up taking the CD with me when I graduated Read more

For every month or so that I stick to my diet and exercise plan, I buy myself something I want but probably don't need. Gives me something to shoot for. Read more

Seems to me it's more about Bud Selig's legacy than anything else. Read more

The term "non-analytical positive" has been thrown around a lot in this case. It seems to me that a non-analytical positive is actually flimsier evidence than an analytical positive, or a failed test. Can you explain if/why it makes sense that a player could be suspended for something "less than" a failed test above… Read more

Alright, so this guy is driving to the hoop and goes up strong for the dunk. For whatever reason, although it's usually a defensive player making contact, his path is impeded. He releases the ball with a clearly defined downward throwing motion. The ball may technically still have parabolic flight but at no point is… Read more

Is there any outcome that would slap A-Rod with the lifetime ban, while keeping his salary on the books in NY? Read more

Is there any chance this can go to a federal court the way the NFL Bountygate suspensions did? I suspect that in some cases, MLB has strong enough evidence and that's why Braun folded, but early on, it seemed like the evidence was collected on shady enough grounds that it might not hold up in a court not arbitrated by… Read more

Let's say that ARod chooses to call Selig's bluff and forces a CBA related suspension. Read more

What are other benefits that A-Rod could lose during a lifetime suspension besides salary? Does he lose a pension? Health benefits? Licensing income? Hanging out at Players Trust events? Read more

How does baseball get around to this being Arod first offense and trying for 200+ games, it seems like they are making up rules as they go. Read more

Please opine on the "lifetime ban" situation: As this story has unfolded, it has been challenging to determine if MLB even has the authority to ban A-Rod "for life" under the CBA, or if the possibility of a life-long ban is merely being invoked for the sake of leverage during settlement negotiations. Read more

Why is the MLBPA not talking about defending the process in this matter? Assuming everybody in the PA just wants A-Rod to go away, doesn't the PA have a vested interest in the process? Read more

MLB paid for their evidence, yet they are going after ARod saying he tampered or attempted to tamper with evidence. How problematic is this if an independent arbitrator hears the case? Seems to me that if MLB wants to play dirty on evidence, ARod shouldn't be punished for doing the same Read more

Is this lifetime ban they're supposedly considering unprecedented? Or is it the same sort of thing they used on Shoeless Joe? Read more

In what situation or situations would the evidence against Rodriguez become public? Is it up to MLB, Rodriguez, or both to reveal it? And what do you think the chances of this ever happening are? Read more
