Christina Hendricks. RIP Nora Ephron. Invading Switzerland might prove troublesome. Murdoch may breakup News Corp. Wildfires raging in Colorado. CNN ratings are brutal. Stockton, CA could go bankrupt. Egypt will have Christian, Women VPs. Putin’s hold on Russia may be crumbling. Roman jewelry found in 5th century Japanese tomb. Texas Republicans want to do away with critical thinking skills in education.

However, with that being said I would still send my kids to private school because corporal punishment has no place in the school system.
/will still spank my kinds, but won’t let the school do it

That Texas GOP link is crazier than the Chuck Norris story. Repealing the 16th Amendment? Going back to the gold standard? Supporting corporal punishment in schools?

TBL is keeping Beadle relevant one post at a time.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
Noel is the guitar player. He wrote all the good songs and now has his own band. His first CD had about 6 really good songs and some meh.
Liam was the frontman. He and the other guys have a band Beady Eye. I gave their first CD an open-minded listen but it was dreck. Liam was married to the SAF blond from Lethal Weapon 2, so kudos I guess.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
The best fockin Oasis live song EVER. That live Familiar to Millions CD was recorded over 2 days at Wembley Stadiun, though Liam was drunk and angry most of the time. I believe his wife Patsy Kensit had left him before the shows.
Noel was the better performer, though the show still kicked ass.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
No doubt. Even as our rainforests disappear at dangerous rates, the Amazon is still a huge, largely unexplored place. There are jungle tribes in there that speaks languages only know to a handful of people on earth. That’s nutso.

I remember when I was in elementary school about 2 to 3 kids would be paddled every year. The teacher that did it was a 6th grade teacher – one of the few male elementary school teachers. He by no means held back, and the paddle had the “speed holes” in it too. You’d hear the kid wailing through the school hallways.

June 27th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
And I’m not proposing that Vizquel belongs…
I would. Easily. The game of baseball isn’t played with an offense hitting into a field of robots. Vizquel is on of the 10 greatest defensive players of all time.
The years of Vizquel-Robbie Alomar were the greatest DP combo in history. The Tribe had the year with Fryman-Omar-Robbie all winning gold gloves, possible greatest defensive infield in history that year. The year with Vizquel-Matt Williams was maybe the best 3B-SS defensive left side pairing ever.
Robbie wouldn’t acquiesce that Omar was the better defensive player so there were times of them 1-upping the other on defensive plays. Standing ovation to ridiculous plays on the field were common those few years.
June 27th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
I’ve always assumed they thought this, never expected them to just come right out and say it though…I bet these people are also on board with the new thinking that the existence of the Loch Ness Monster (somehow it was decided once and for all that it in fact does exist) disproves evolution

i can’t do the range before i play anymore for this exact reason. everytime i do, i start off well and get worse and worse and start the round trying to correct my swing with my confidence already in the shitter. i think i have the GD with that article from watson on my desk at work…not sure why i never tried that approach. might work.

If I read correctly, about 70% of the job growth in Texas was due to government related jobs. But yeah, job engine of ‘Merica.
also, texas has had the lowest commercial and residential foreclosure rate in the country, and the property values have been mostly stable. its more than jobs, buddy.
June 27th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
many corporate relocations that brought quite a few jobs with it.
how the hell is that job growth if its merely relocation?
Texas: Where laying off 100,000 to hire 80,000 at lower wages, and where poaching companies with bullshit corporate welfare is Growth. YEE HAW.

when a company relocates, and decides to make the new state where it relocates the main hub of distribution and manufacturing, that creates jobs.

Sorry man, fell asleep. I’m using too much arms/shoulders, not enough hips, plus I’m trying to destroy the ball with every swing. The main issue is trying to break out of the baseball swing that was ponded into my head for over half of my life. When I slowed my swing down and turned my hips correctly, I hit the ball very well. I guess Ive just gotta put the 4,928 different instructions he gave me yesterday all together, and I’ll be good.

June 27th, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Work on your hip flexors and ab strength. Hip flexibilty is the thing I see that MOST golfers need more than anything else. Without it, you cannot have correct mechanics, and are just pissing in the wind.

Defensively i would say so. The problem is Belanger was so horrible offensively that there was no way he could be in the HOF. Omar was at least passable with the bat.
You cant compare Ozzie with Omar. Not only was Ozzie far and beyond Omar statistically, but Ozzie was a superstar in his prime, one of the faces of the game. Omar at his best was the 5th best SS in the AL (behind the Trinity + Tejada). Some of that is unfortunate timing, but there was never any point in Omar’s career where you could honestly say he was one of the best players in the game.
June 27th, 2012 at 10:21 AM
That is a common trend around here. Invariably I’ll see a snarky well-written funny post and it’ll turn out to be a CRM joint, or a reasonable reaction piece, and it’s Lisk. Most everything else just irrelevant, forced, or both.

I always just assumed Omar had a much better bat, partly because Smith was declining shortly after I got really into baseball in 1991 (first year of Little League). Career OPS+ for Smith: 87, Vizquel: 82.
Identical OBP for the two, but funny that Smith managed to have a SLG% lower than his OBP.
June 27th, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Omar also went up a bunch of roided out freaks. And Omar was still better than them all defensively.
June 27th, 2012 at 10:25 AM
I don’t get it.

Ozzie Smith didn’t know which end of the bat to hold the first few years of his career.

Slugged .278 in his 4 years in SD, and led the league in sac bunts twice. Luckily, I imagine his dWAR more than offset that and sportswriters in the early ’80s often reminded people of that fact.

glorious mulet, if you can’t plank for 30 minutes you better quit golf, right GC?
June 27th, 2012 at 11:17 AM
I’d say 30 minutes is a little extreme. But TPI trainers won’t take an appointment for you if you can’t do 3 minutes. If you don’t think fitness matters, I’m sorry. If you aren’t able to do the movements correctly, you’ll never get better. The flexibility of the hips, hamstrings and thoracic spine, along with the strength of the glutes, hamstrings and abs, are the single most important part of being a good (at the very least better than average) golfer. The mechanics are easy to teach to someone with ANY athletic ability at all, as long as they are in reasonable shape. It’s the lack of fitness that hinders players–they think that there is something mechanically wrong with the swing without realizing that the fitness level is precluding the correct mechanics.
June 27th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
